Moon and Zodiac: The Impact on Chakras
In the world of astrological zodiacs, there is a lot of talk about zodiac sign meaning, compatibility charts, the order of the zodiac signs, and horoscopes. And when it comes to the moon, there is a lot of talk about full moon energy and new moon intention setting. And those things are all important. But… what about the other moon phases? The zodiac influence on the moon? And the moon’s effect on the chakras?
For anyone who isn’t familiar with the astrological positions of the moon and the effect of the moon’s phases on chakras, I’ll walk you through some essential things to understand so you can get the most out of their combined energies and use the information to help plan your calendar, take advantage of days when your chakras are naturally the strongest and most productive, and schedule in days to rest and practice some self-care.
MOON ESSENTIALS
The moon is the earth’s closest celestial body. It orbits around the earth once every 27.3 days and gravitationally influences the earth’s tides. As the moon orbits around the earth, it goes through eight phases depending on the amount of illumination on its surface: the new moon, the waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, the waning gibbous, the third quarter (last quarter), and waning crescent. Each phase has a different energy associated with it and in addition to influencing the earth’s tides, some believe the lunar phases can also impact human fertility, menstruation, and behavior even though there is no scientific evidence to prove it.
Because of these beliefs and the connection to the exquisite feminine lunar energy, there are full moon practices for releasing and balancing chakras and even intention-setting rituals such as those performed on the new moon. But what about the rest of the month? How can you take advantage of each lunar cycle and daily use it to tap into the power of your chakras? The understated energy is still there but it isn’t as easily understood which could be due to the variations in subtle energy influenced by the moon’s astrological positions in the zodiac.
MOON AND ZODIAC INFLUENCE
As the moon moves through its eight phases, it also moves through each of the twelve zodiac signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. I’ve found that during the transition through each zodiac sign, the chakra energy centers are under slightly different influences as they are affected by both the lunar phase and the moon’s place in the zodiac. When this energy is understood, it can be utilized to bring more balance to life.
Molly Hall is a tarot reader, astrologer, and freelance writer who wrote an article called The Moon Through the Zodiac and in it states that the moon going through its phases and signs gives off a subtle undercurrent, and following the moon through its signs and phases takes you out of artificial time, and into natural time. She also states that the more you tune into the lunar rhythm, the more it'll come into the foreground for you. This is what I’ve noticed with the moon, its zodiac position, and the chakras! The more you pay attention to the energy, tap into the productive chakra days as influenced by the moon, and schedule your calendar accordingly, the easier your life can be.
MOON AND ASSOCIATED CHAKRAS
What chakra is associated with the moon? Is there only one? How does the moon affect the chakras? These are common questions, and the answer is complex. There isn’t just one chakra affected by the moon, they all are. And the chakras that are affected are constantly changing depending on the lunar phase, and the moon’s astrological place in the zodiac.
In addition, the influence of the moon on a chakra can be different depending on if the chakra is strong, weak, open, or blocked. If a chakra is strong and it’s a day when the energies align with that chakra, its strength can be enhanced and used to your advantage. But, if that particular chakra is blocked on a day when the lunar energy aligns with it, you could feel frustrated and struggle with the aspects related to the chakra.
