Living With the Moon: A Journal Through This Year’s New & Full Moons

At Humble Ceremony, we believe in gentle rituals — the kind that invite presence, not pressure.
The moon offers one of the simplest rhythms to return to: a cycle of beginning and release.

This year, we’re choosing to move with that rhythm.

The New Moon: Beginning Gently

The New Moon marks a quiet reset.
It’s a moment to pause and ask: What am I ready to invite in?

New Moon dates this year:
Jan 18 · Feb 17 · Mar 18 · Apr 17 · May 16 · Jun 14 · Jul 14 · Aug 12 · Sep 10 · Oct 10 · Nov 9 · Dec 8

On these days, try a simple practice:

  • Sit quietly with a journal

  • Write one intention that feels supportive, not demanding

Intentions don’t need to be ambitious. Often, clarity begins softly.

The Full Moon: Reflecting & Releasing

The Full Moon brings illumination — a chance to notice what has grown and what feels complete.

Full Moon dates this year:
Jan 3 · Feb 1 · Mar 3 · Apr 1–2 · May 1 · May 31 · Jun 29 · Jul 29 · Aug 28 · Sep 26 · Oct 26 · Nov 24 · Dec 23

Use this time to reflect:

  • What has shifted since the last cycle?

  • What am I ready to release?

Letting go doesn’t have to be dramatic. Sometimes it’s simply choosing not to carry what feels heavy.

Living with the moon isn’t about doing more — it’s about listening more closely.

This year, may we:

  • begin with intention

  • reflect with honesty

  • release with care

One cycle at a time.
