Illustration for 🌙 Lunar phases and tarot: a practical guide for intuitive souls…

Open the drawer, the door, the box where you have carefully stored your deck; it's time to take it back and explore its power and how it connects to the lunar phases.

For those who don't know, each lunar phase is suited to different aspects of our lives; there is a phase best for sowing a new intention and one where it's time to harvest it and see if it has borne the hoped-for fruits.

But what do tarot cards have to do with the moon?

It's very simple: being a form of divination, it is possible to channel the moments of the lunar cycle into something tangible and easier for us to understand by having it in front of our eyes. After all, divination is exactly this. It's not just about predicting the future but having the opportunity to understand, through the visible—cards, pendulum, or other means—the invisible that we are unable to comprehend. It helps us dissipate the fog that clouds our eyes, clearing more and more and showing the brightest path ever.

But enough with the chatter.

Below, I have schematically and simply divided the various lunar phases and the possible spreads that come to your aid.

At the end, a small challenge for you and me to do together 🌙

1. New Moon Phase – Intention and Manifestation

Energy: beginning, sowing, potential
Tarot Use: choose a card that represents what you want to attract. Meditate on it and write an intention.
Ritual: 3-card spread → “What do I desire?”, “What energy supports me?”, “What should I avoid?”

2. Waxing Phase – Action and Growth

Energy: expansion, motivation, building
Tarot Use: explore resources and obstacles. Work with cards that represent movement (Chariot, Eight of Wands).
Ritual: 2-card spread → “What concrete step can I take?”, “What is blocking me?”

3. Full Moon Phase – Clarity and Celebration

Energy: illumination, gratitude, culmination
Tarot Use: observe what has emerged. Work with cards that bring light (Star, Sun).
Ritual: 4-card spread → “What has been accomplished?”, “What can I celebrate?”, “What do I see clearly?”, “What can I share?”

4. Waning Phase – Release and Reflection

Energy: closure, introspection, cleansing
Tarot Use: work with cards that speak of endings and transformation (Death, Ten of Swords).
Ritual: 3-card spread → “What must I let go of?”, “What have I learned?”, “How can I regenerate?”
