The moon is one of the most divine and mysterious energy sources available to us. Not only does it provide a truly captivating view in the night sky, but it also has the natural ability of connecting directly with our subconscious and helping us to heal in a number of ways. While the new moon and the full moon are most known for their empowering energies, the other phases of the moon are just as powerful and offer their own healing vibrations in many other ways. And today, we’re going to talk all about them.Â
In this article, we’re going to cover the meaning behind the eight phases of the moon. We’re going to talk about what each moon phase means, the unique energy they give off, and how you can work more closely with them to perform self-care practices to heal, grow, and align more intentionally in your life than ever before. Let’s get started.

As we move out of the inspiring and energetic energies of April, we move into the month of May with flying colors, welcoming new changes, transformations, and chances for renewal. To start, we will be kicking off the month in the balanced and assured sign of the Taurus. Often considered to be the mother of the Zodiac due to their kind, nurturing, and wise nature, the Taurus craves balance in all that they do. They are hardworking, know the importance of creating a good routine, and always approach their goals with a slow but steady pace. For that reason, the signs may also begin to bring these energies into their life this month. From creating a routine for yourself, focusing on small steps for your goals, or even just picking up the pace towards working towards your dreams, this month is all about gaining stability and finding what new direction you may wish to go with it.Â
Aside from this, May also marks the official start of the eclipse season, which is sure to bring a plethora of new energies into our lives. With so many energetic shake-ups at this time, the signs could find themselves feeling more drained and disoriented. However, all of the changes are likely to help us align with our destined path later on. Aside from this, the planets will also be quite active this month, with Jupiter, Mars, and Mercury as the biggest influences. Jupiter will be lingering in the sign of the Pisces for the beginning of the month, making this an opportunistic time for the signs to seize new opportunities and take a chance. After this, Jupiter will then make its way through the sign of the Aries, pushing hard work, confidence, and a new dynamic in your life as the signs likely begin to feel a little more open-minded in trying new things. We will then welcome our next Mercury retrograde on May 10 in the sign of the Gemini, which is bound to bring some energetic shake-ups in our social lives as well as our communication skills. Lastly, we will then end the month in the sign of the energetic Gemini, pushing our social interactions, lust for adventure, and need for expansion to the extreme.Â

As a result, the energies of fertility, passion, and new life are buzzing all around us as we celebrate the abundance of the earth, the rising sign, and the balance of feminine and masculine energy.Â
With so much opportunity and vibrancy in the air, there are many jovial and light-hearted rituals you can take part in to honor the many energies around us at this time.

As we move into the warmth of the growing spring, the season is changing, the earth is blooming, and the energy is shifting with a promise of rebirth and new beginnings just beyond the horizon. With opportunity in the air, this is a truly auspicious time for wiping the slate clean and moving forward with a fresh new attitude.Â
With that said, the sun will soar through the fiery Aries sign at the start of the month, encouraging the signs to start taking more of a head-on approach with their goals. As a result, the signs will likely begin to feel more spontaneous, social, and optimistic this month, especially when it comes to pursuing their dreams. With the abundant and opportunistic energies of the growing light of the sun, intentions set in prior months are now beginning to rise to fruition, allowing us to make bigger moves for the start of the new Zodiac year. To go along with this, we also have many planetary changes occurring this month, mostly following Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus, welcoming in lust, luck, and action into our space. Mars and Jupiter could bring changes to your attitude and approach towards your goals, while Mercury can add a sharpness to our tongue, allowing us to be bolder with our words and actions. Lastly, Venus could stir changes in love, allowing partners to connect deeper as well as the opportunity to overcome issues of the past. To end the month, we will then enter the sign of the Taurus on April 20th, allowing the signs to regain balance in their lives after a busy last few weeks and focus their attention on nurturing themselves more mentally, physically, and spiritually. And since the Taurus is an earth sign, this is also a time of calmness and slow but steady movement after the raging fire sign’s ruling, allowing the signs to build a more strategic plan for the path ahead and look at their goals with more of a long-term vision.
Overall, April is predicted to be a month of action, optimism, and transformation as all the signs begin to move into the next chapter of their lives swiftly with the season’s change. But, to give you some deeper insight into what you can expect this month, today, we're going to go over what changes each Zodiac sign can expect energetically throughout April and how you align yourself to make the most of them.

With that said, the month of February will kick off in the intellectual sign of Aquarius, urging the signs into some deep reflection. Since the Aquarius is a bit of a loner but also highly self-empowered, don’t be surprised if you find yourself pulling away from society to work on your personal endeavors this month as you formulate a new plan for how to move forward along your journey. Aside from this, Mercury will end its retrograde on the 3rd of the month, which can help the chaotic and uncertain energies we’ve all been feeling return to normal. Not only that, but Venus is also moving into our space at this time, which will likely help to level out any intense energies that may have risen over the last few weeks from the retrogrades. This will be happening alongside the planets of Mars and Pluto as well, which could simultaneously stir forward movement and tension, making some of the energy this month feel a bit up and down.Â

Making Valentine’s extra special can be tricky sometimes, especially if we are not particularly crafty and are sporadically busy. While this may be true, the great thing about love is it finds a way. It always finds its way. Isn’t it fascinating how some people can pull off a grande surprise out of letters and papers? While some can cook a really good meal and some just know the exact perfect place to go. While some people, like me at times, can’t make up their minds.
And because of these factors, I’ve learned to focus on what I do best - Gift-giving. Yes, there are people like me who are best at giving gifts. And who knows, you’re just like me. For me, gift-giving is a form of art. It expresses someone in a way that manifests beauty such as love. It is a reservoir of a million thoughts, consideration and most importantly sincerity. So if you’re considering getting some gifts, you’re in the perfect place at a perfect time! Because, we have hand-picked the best gifts from our store that you can give to your lover or loved ones on this special day.Â

There’s no doubt about it; 2021 was a year full of change and transformation for everyone. However, instead of continuing to live in the hard times that it brought, it’s finally time to say goodbye to the old and embrace change with the new year of 2022. With that said, we will be kicking off the new year lingering in the sign of the Capricorn, pushing many of the signs towards a renewal of creative energy and new beginnings, which is bound to bring a refreshing change into our lives. This will be happening alongside the influence of Jupiter, which will be moving through the sensitive Pisces. As the planet of expansion, Jupiter will inspire us to move beyond our restrictions and channel a deeper, more sentimental approach to life that could have us reflecting a lot on our emotions. As a result, this will likely have all the signs feeling a need to slow down and disconnect for a while, and honestly, some slow movement may not be such a bad idea right now.Â
Aside from this, Venus also went into retrograde on December 19th, 2021, and will remain that way until January 29th, 2022. Since Venus is known to be the planet of love, when it is retrograde, energies can be a little uncertain for lovers. This could either stir communicational issues between partners or, surprisingly, pull partners closer. Either way, you’ll have to navigate the situation carefully, as all emotions, good and bad, are bound to be heightened. However, Venus isn’t the only planet going retrograde right now, as we will also be moving into Mercury retrograde again starting January 13th, which is bound to have the signs revisiting past emotional issues again. However, don’t see this as a burden, as this is actually an excellent opportunity to reflect on what energies we wish to take with us into the new year and which we want to leave behind and start making the necessary changes to make it happen. Lastly, we will then hit Aquarius season on January 20th, which will likely have the signs aligning more intimately with personal goals and values.Â
As you can see, January 2022 is bound to be full of the energies of rebirth, new beginnings, and reflection as we work to embrace the energies of the year, learning to leave the problems of the past year behind us once and for all. However, to give you a better idea of what energy you can feel personally, in this article, we’re going to touch on the changes each Zodiac sign can expect throughout January and how you can better align yourself to truly make the most of it. Let’s get started.Â

It’s a new year and a new you Zodiac signs, and with so many cosmic changes happening around us right now, that saying has never rung so true. While 2021 was quite a powerful year for transition and change for all of us for a lot of different reasons, 2022 is predicted to help us start bringing those changes into fruition in a new light with an emphasis on alignment, empowerment, and forward movement. For this reason, many of the signs will likely find that their tolerance levels for an unfulfilling life will burst this year, and many changes are likely to take place in a number of areas of our lives as a result.Â
With that said, to start, the year kicks off with a powerful retrograde in Venus carrying over from December 2021 onward until January 29th, 2022, which is bound to shake things up. Since Venus is known symbolically to be the planet of love, when it goes retrograde, energies can be a little uncertain for lovers. As a result, this could stir issues between partners or, potentially, pull partners closer. Either way, you’ll have to navigate the situation carefully, as a lot of emotional change and reflection are bound to be taking place at this time. To follow, Mercury will also be going into retrograde on January 14th, heightening our need to reflect and let go of negative aspects of our lives. With so many emotions to think over at this time, this could potentially stir up impatience and emotional frustration within all signs that must be navigated carefully in order to avoid impulsive decision making. Aside from this, Saturn will be getting cozy in the sign of the Aquarius this year, highlighting the energies of hard work, success, luck, and determination, likely giving the signs a much-needed boost into action on many professional and creative endeavors with the potential to bring a possible career change. This will be happening alongside Jupiter, which will be making way through the Pisces and the Aries this year, highlighting expansion, luck, and new beginnings as one of the key themes for all of the signs this year. To top it all off, we will also be taken through another powerful retrograde by Mars at the end of October, which will likely push the signs to re-examine their life and their choices, especially related to career work, allowing plenty of room for change and transition to take place.
Overall, while these are only a few of the major energetic highlights of the year, all around, this will likely be a powerful year of transformation in many different ways. However, to give you a better idea of what the year of 2022 may hold for your Zodiac sign, here’s is an overview of some of the energies that are likely to be felt by the Zodiac signs this new year and what each sign can do to try to make the most of them.
