Lunar Correspondences: Aligning Your Rituals with the Moon’s Phases

Why Correspondences Matter in Lunar Magick

• Correspondences are energetic signatures that link planetary bodies, colors, herbs, and intentions
• Working with the Moon’s phase, sign, and day strengthens the focus and resonance of your ritual
• Understanding correspondences allows you to “tune” your practice for consistent, powerful results

Moon Phase Correspondences & Ritual Timing

• New Moon – seeds, beginnings, black or silver candles, clear quartz, intentions for growth
• Waxing Moon – attraction, increase, green or gold candles, jasmine oil, prosperity spells
• Full Moon – illumination, culmination, white candles, moonstone, divination and gratitude rituals
• Waning Moon – release, banishing, dark purple or black candles, obsidian, cord-cutting work

Moon Sign Correspondences & Astrological Influence

• Moon in Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) – bold action, courage, empowerment spells, cinnamon or dragon’s blood
• Moon in Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) – abundance, grounding, prosperity work, patchouli or cedar
• Moon in Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) – communication, clarity, social rituals, lavender or frankincense
• Moon in Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) – emotion, intuition, psychic development, moonstone or lotus

Lunar Day Correspondences for Daily Practice
