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 May New Moon is on May 16th in Taurus..

When you embrace solitude and quiet under a dark moon, you can hear and know things you didn’t know before. It’s time to remember an aspect of yourself that you have forgotten. You are whole. You are magic. Seek the magic in these shadow spaces of self.
