Living by the moon template
I recently became reacquainted with Notion and I wanted to share a template I created for those who enjoy following the moon signs. The moon changes signs every 2-2.5 days and greatly affects our emotions. I created a moon calendar in Notion that shows the moon signs by month and week and also added in the moon phases to be aware of them. It is not automated so you would have to change the dates yourself every month, but everything else can be left as is.
Did you know that we all have personal emotional weather? I talk about this in Session 3 of my guidebook The Body is an Oracle. It’s hugely helpful to know the order of your houses in your birth chart, which therefore leads you to know when the moon travels through each of them. This can help a lot with understanding your emotions since the moon represents the subconscious and our emotions. For example, I know that under a Taurus moon I need a lot of self-care and might need to take a full day off to be in nature because when the moon is in Taurus, it’s traveling through my 9th house of belief systems and I can use some extra help that day to not take the bait of those thoughts that just want to invade me. Taurus helps me do that because I look at what the archetype of Taurus represents when it’s at its best, which is self-care like cooking delicious food for myself or getting a massage, being very aware of and sensitive to my body so taking care of it extra well, and grounding in the earth (think barefoot on a beach or in the park) for rootedness and stability in who I really am (I am not my fleeting emotions). I know all of this and relate it to myself just simply from knowing what sign the moon is in and which of my houses it’s passing through.
Back when I first started using Notion, I made it as goth as possible - everything was black on black but now since I’m working on self-integration it’s become this stunning better version after I changed it to white background and black everything else. I am obsessed so I wanted to share in case anyone can use it.
The parts you would have to change are under the “Signs” view. You would add your own Themes in and change the Date of each moon sign and phase according to the month we are in (the template contains a link to astro-seek so you can easily click it and see the moon signs calendar each month). You will notice I didn’t add “last quarter” to the moon phases but instead “balsamic phase” which occurs about 5 days before the new moon. This is because for me it’s a heavy time with emotions and I usually need to be reminded to not overexert myself before the new cycle (of me) begins. The black graphic I used in the template is from moon tracks, I just screenshot it and added it in there, but you can add anything you want to that section.
As I mention above, I’ve made The Body is an Oracle into a 41 page guidebook. If you’d like to understand how to decode your own personal emotional weather in more detail you can purchase the book here.
For the Leo new moon this week, I am also doing The body is an oracle readings, to give you a basic understanding of the houses and planets in your birth chart and how they can show the truth of who you are. There are 4 spots available and the reading is free, if you’d like to sign up the schedule is here.
