How to use the Moon Play Moon Journal Part 2-Moon Ritual Pages
This is part two of my Moon Play Moon Journal How to guide. Make sure to read part one about the Moon Play Moon Journal Daily Snapshot page. In this second post, you will learn how to use the weekly moon ritual pages and the benefits of developing a weekly practice.
There are many moon journals out on the market these days as aligning to cyclical living and reclaiming our femininity is top of the mind for women and female-identifying entrepreneurs. I created my own as an answer to my own needs in regards to tracking my daily life and analyzing the data I collected over the periods that are marked by the moon phases.
The Moon Play Moon Journal is a minimalist moon journal that contains the pages for tracking our daily activities and vibe with the moon as well as pages for moon rituals and seasonal reflection. In this series, I will be sharing how I use each section of the moon journal and the benefits of this spiritual self care routine.
Let’s get started!
What is the Moon Play Moon Journal Moon Ritual Page, and Why Does it Matter?
The Moon Play Moon Journal (MoJo) moon ritual page is a spread contained in the journal to document the weekly moon phase. How you feel, what’s happening around you, the astrological significance and space to set intentions or document the manifestations and gratitude.
It’s changed my life.
Four years ago, I started on a journey of self-reflection to align myself with the natural cycles. It started with tracking my daily energy and then evolved to really paying attention to the moon’s cycles, her phases and the wisdom of cyclical versus linear living.
I started to incorporate cyclical living into my life two years ago. It all started by paying attention to the moon, her phases and the signs she moved through. I was tuning into the wisdom of my mentor, Bronwyn Simons, to understand what the moon was revealing to me at each point in her cycle.
Don’t believe me how it has changed my life? Let me show you.
Benefits of the Moon Play Moon Journal Moon Ritual Pages
I shared in my last post about how daily tracking has benefitted me and my mental health. But there is more to the story when we add in how creating a weekly moon ritual has helped me.
Things I’ve noticed since incorporating moon rituals into my self care practice:
- I’m more aware of my own energy and rest when I need to
- I don’t overwork and push myself to the point of burnout
- I’m easier on myself and set more realistic goals/deadlines
- I feel more in tune with the energy and moods of the moon
- I set intentions based on the astrological house the moon is inviting me to focus on
- I understand the longer cycles and my part in them
- I learned how to use the energy of the moon in my creative efforts and plans
- My days and weeks feel longer and spacious
- I have more space in my schedule and life for fun and pleasure
- I prioritize according to my values, not my obligations
- The moon’s phases dictate the weekly self care ritual so I don’t dismiss it
- A sense of wonder has returned to my daily life due to my moon rituals
- Trust and belief—for the mystery of life and all its gifts
Creating a weekly moon ritual can deepen your relationship with yourself and your relationship with time. Not only that, but you will start to tune to the wisdom of the moon and allow her to guide your choices and plans.
I don’t know astrology
This journal was created by me for the beginner astrologer that I was. Actually, I had no idea that I was becoming an astrologer until the summer of 2023. Astrologers study the movements of the planets and stars and use it to develop meaning in our lives here on earth.
The beauty of the moon ritual pages is that you have the guidance of the moon ephemeris (moon phase calendar) to let you know when to practice your ritual. It also shows you the corresponding moon family dates to be aware of. You can fill in as much or as little of these pages as possible. This is only a suggestion to create curiosity into a more aligned way of being.
I include an Intro to Astrology ebook with all my one on one readings. It shows you everything you need to know to use this journal in the most astrological way possible. Or you can stay curious, get on my email list and learn in a slower way.
Alright, enough of the benefits, let’s get started on a new daily habit!
