How I Work With the Moon in Real Life
This guide is part of my ongoing practice of living with the moon, not just observing it.
I don’t work with the moon because it’s trendy.
I work with the moon because life already moves in cycles—whether we honor them or not.
At Something NuBian, moon work isn’t about perfection, performance, or aesthetic rituals done “right.” It’s about timing, awareness, and compassion—especially for women holding a lot, healing a lot, and still showing up.
🌑 What the Moon Actually Does
Astronomically, the moon moves through predictable phases.
Energetically, those phases move through us.
You may notice:
- Emotional sensitivity around Full Moons
- Fatigue or introspection around New Moons
- Vivid dreams or memory recall
- A desire to release, rest, or begin again
None of this requires belief—only attention.
🌑 New Moons: Intention & Root Work
New Moons are not about hustle or manifestation pressure.
They are about quiet beginnings.
During a New Moon, I focus on:
- Setting realistic intentions
- Grounding the body and nervous system
- Root and sacral chakra support
- Reiki for stability and trust
- Journaling for clarity rather than answers
This is where seeds are planted—not forced.
🌕 Full Moons: Release & Illumination
Full Moons don’t create chaos—they reveal what’s already full.
During a Full Moon, I focus on:
- Emotional honesty
- Releasing what has reached completion
- Throat and heart chakra clearing
- Reiki for emotional integration
- Journaling what needs to be witnessed, not fixed
This is where truth surfaces gently—or loudly.
📓 Why I Journal With the Moon
Moon journaling isn’t about writing beautifully.
It’s about tracking patterns over time.
When you journal consistently with the moon, you begin to notice:
- Repeating emotional cycles
- Relationship themes
- Dream symbolism
- Physical responses to stress and rest
This is why I created tools like my dream journal and planners—to support awareness, not control.

🌙 A Living Practice
This is not a one-time lesson.
It’s a rhythm.
Some months you’ll journal deeply.
Other months you’ll simply notice the moon and breathe.
Both count.
Living with the moon means honoring your capacity—not competing with the calendar.
