Horoscopes for the Dark Moon
The Dark Moon is the three days before the moon renews itself in the New Moon phase. Sometimes called the balsamic moon phase, the Dark Moon is a time for introspection, clearing, and dreaming. Under the shadows of the sky, magic is afoot. At Tamed Wild, we believe the Dark Moon is the time of the Goddess, the wild one, the feral earth spirit, who is connected to the forest, cycles and seasons, and the rhythms of the earth. To celebrate this dark moon phase, each month we will craft Magicscopes, sharing insights into what you can clear in your life and serving as a lantern for intention-setting for the lunar phase ahead.
The June New Moon is on June 14th in Gemini.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
Gemini, the dark moon asks you to practice some glamour magic. This is the spell of being yourself. When the sky grows dark, when you are alone with yourself, what feels most true? Take the seed of this story with you as you cross the threshold of the new moon and into the summer solstice. Set an intention for how you’d like to show up this summer to your practice and your magic and your full and feral magical self.
-
Cancer & Cancer Rising
Cancer, the dark moon asks you to listen to your dreams. The subconscious is always speaking to us, whether that’s in the signs and symbols we notice in our everyday life, or in the dreams that come to tell us a story as we sleep and as we travel through the liminal, astral space. Pay special attention as the moon goes dark; the mystery and magic of these symbolic spaces are asking you to work your magic with the lessons that await you there.
-
Leo & Leo Rising
Leo, this dark moon asks you to embrace your coven in a new way. Whether there’s something that’s been holding you back from connecting, or you’ve been setting intentions with how to be with others in community, now is the time to cast a spell here. Your presence naturally gives off a spotlight. See how good it feels to celebrate others and the power of connection under this new moon. Remember, our magic is always inherently connected to each other. If there is a dream you’ve been cultivating, now is a time to ask for support from your fellow witches.
-
Virgo & Virgo Rising
Virgo, this dark moon is your guide. Sit in stillness under the expansive sky and feel your own expansive, eternal nature, connected to this celestial body and the spirit of magic. You can’t know what you don’t know, and sometimes, in order to know where the path is going, you just have to take the next step. Trusting the process and following your heart will be big this summer. Let the moon teach you how to move ahead with her ever-potent cycles.
-
Libra & Libra Rising
Libra, this dark moon asks you to dream big. Picture a horizon, and now picture the horizon of your life. What dreams exist out there, just beyond reach, crafted from something you’ve been longing for? This is the place where the dark moon is at work. Under these mysterious skies, dream. Dream of a project, a trip, a class you’d like to take, a subject you’d like to study, it can be anything as long as it is expansive in nature. This is a ritual of being alive, of being human. Commit yourself to the life that feels nourishing and exciting.
-
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
Scorpio, this dark moon is a new chapter for you. Work with this lunar phase to release any lingering emotional stories or feelings, banish something you’re ready to part with, and release with the tides of this moon magic. This is a moment of magical renewal for you. Remember that nature abhors a vacuum; don’t just release, but welcome in, and set your intentions for the energy you’d like to cultivate, and the next phase of your transformation.
-
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
Sagittarius, this dark moon asks you to reflect on your partnerships. Perhaps there is a new partnership or collaboration on the horizon that you’re excited about. Now is the time to cleanse, clear, and prepare yourself for this togetherness. Whether it’s starting a business, falling in love, or creating art with another person, the possibilities for magic are expansive. Dream under the dark moon, then set intentions for this aspect of your life as the moon becomes new. Our magic is always greater together.
-
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
Capricorn, you know that the magic is in the mundane and that the rituals of our life cast the spells of our life. It’s time to focus on your daily tasks, your work, and how you take care of yourself and your body. There is potency and enchantment to be cultivated through these acts. If there’s something holding you back from this type of nourishing, radical care, ask the dark moon to help you release it. Remember the moments make up your life.
-
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
Aquarius, this dark moon is guiding you to celebrate the romance in your life. There is so much sweetness and gratitude waiting to be embraced. This feeling, and the acknowledgment of the beauty that already exists in your life, is a spell that cultivates more. When you see how gorgeous the earth is, it becomes even more gorgeous (how incredible!). Set your intentions to seek this love, knowing that under the dark moon skies, it’s also looking for you.
-
Pisces & Pisces Rising
Pisces, the dark moon asks you to practice hearth and home witchery. Whether it’s time to redo your wards of protection or for a smoke cleansing and clearing, there is an aspect of where you live that is longing to be worked with magically. Craft your floor wash, call upon your herbal allies, and prepare your broom for rituals under this magical lunation.
-
Aries & Aries Rising
Aries, the dark moon asks you to work with its magic through divination. Whether you work with the cards, runes, or automatic writing, there’s a message coming through. Pay attention to these channelings and intuitive hits during the potent portal of the dark moon. See what insights it can give you about the next lunar cycle and the weeks ahead, and what intention you might consider carrying across the threshold, if only to embrace your intuition more fully.
- Taurus & Taurus Rising
Taurus, the dark moon asks you to seek stillness. Under this dark moon, gaze up at the stars and listen to their stories. They are wise and watchful. Caring for yourself and slowing down are important parts of any lunar cycle. These are the ebbs and flows of our lives. When our cups are full, we’re better able to participate in the important work of our lives, but this is deeper than just a saying to live by; it’s a lifelong practice. In this stillness, craft an intention of cultivating support in your life, and cast this spell under the new moon.
