Hi, Reader —

I’m writing to you from Costa Rica, where I’m currently holding The Portal Retreat with Astro Auntie. We’re across the world from home, but our phones already know the wifi password. Even from here, routine is important – my days are shaped by practice and presence. And I still make time for making Lunar Magic. The rhythm of nature stays with me wherever I am.

This week brings us the first new moon Lunar Magic of 2026. While we began the year together on January 1 with a full moon practice, the new moon marks the beginning of the lunar cycle, and the full moon its peak. It just so happens that, astrologically, the full moon arrived first this season. Now we return to the quieter threshold – the place of seeds, intention, and orientation.

This Capricorn New Moon arrives with a quiet, steady invitation: to build something that lasts. Capricorn reminds us that meaningful change doesn’t come from grand gestures, but from small, consistent choices made with care. This first new moon of the year is a moment to listen closely, set down a few well-chosen intentions, and begin shaping the pacing and practices that will support you as the year unfolds – one grounded step at a time.

A brief reminder of the Lunar Magic plan, especially for those newer to the practice:
​
🌘 At the new moon, I offer an accessible, free, hour-long practice of meditation and mantra, with journaling and space for reflection and sharing.
​
🌝 At the full moon, we gather for a longer, 90-minute, workshop-style practice – moving, breathing, and working more deeply with the themes at the lunar peak, priced accordingly.

Some important notes as we move into 2026:​
​
​Lunar Magic now meets on Thursdays at 18h30 EDT, rather than Wednesdays. We’ll gather on the Thursday before each new or full moon, every couple of weeks.

While this was a pragmatic, real-life decision for me, there’s also something serendipitous about this shift. Thursday is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of wisdom, generosity, and expansion – a beautiful ally for teaching, sharing, and reaching outward. When I align my practices with these currents, my work becomes even more spacious and generous, and that impact ripples out to you, naturally.

You can view the full 2026 Lunar Magic Thursday practice schedule, and even add it to your own calendar here:

Lots of little shifts so far this year – and a few more still coming.
