Your Magick Powers According to Your Moon Sign (and House)
You’ll often hear people saying that your moon sign is just your emotions, but it’s wayyyy more than that! Don’t get me wrong, your emotional world definitely resides within your moon sign but there’s a lot more to it than just our transient feelings. Understanding your moon sign can tell you about what your heart desires, the overall color of your life, and your relationship to magick!
Your Super Power
The moon is not the center for logic and reason, it’s our connection to whimsy and intuition, because of this it also has a direct correlation to our natural magick. Everyone has a bit of magick and witchcraft in them if they only know where to look for it, so better understanding this placement will only aid you in better understanding your own inner magick. Scroll below and find your moon sign to see what kind of magick comes most easily to you.
Aries
Aries moons have a short fuse and a deep well of passion within them, so your natural gift is fire magick! You were probably one of those kids who played with candles, putting the hot wax on your skin and even licking your fingers to put out the flame. So when it comes to dressing candles for a certain intention, and fire scrying to see into the future, you have a natural gift and healthy curiosity for fire magick.
Taurus
Taurus is a sensual moon sign, meaning that your realm of comfort is what you can see, feel, touch, hear, and especially taste. Whether you’re a sweet tooth or a savory baby, making food holds a special place in your heart. Everything you make is made with love and that’s why your superpower is kitchen witchery. Whatever you make in the kitchen not only tastes great, but it has the power to hold onto and send out whatever intention you’d like!
Gemini
The father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud had a Gemini moon just like you, so we know that you have the gift of gab… but also the gift for analyzing all of the gab (in order to find deeper meaning). Words are a powerful thing in your life, so it should come as no surprise that the secret power you were born with is communicating. To fully utilize your natural gift you should be working with daily affirmations and incantations, using your voice to send your intentions out into the world.
Cancer
With your moon in Cancer you’ve always felt at home in the water whether it’s playing in the waves at the beach, skipping stones at the river or wakeboarding at the lake. You’re a water baby so it’s your natural gift to be able to do your best spell work in the bath. Light some candles, throw in some herbs and oils, and manifest--or release--whatever your heart desires!
Leo
Leo moon people have a certain sparkle and shimmer that is unmistakable. You put your whole heart and soul into everything you do (and when your heart isn’t in it, don’t expect results!). You really wear your heart on your sleeve, which is why the way you dress holds a great importance in your life, making galmour magick your particular special power. It’s not about trying to look good for other people, it’s about synthesizing your energy with the way you feel--or want to feel--on the inside.
Virgo
If there’s one thing I know that brings a Virgo moon comfort, it’s cleaning. When life gets too stressful and things are beyond confusing, a good household scrub down can always do the trick of decluttering your brain. This is why cleansing and consecrating is your magickal super power in this life! There are lots of ways to clean a space or consecrate and object, so play around with all kinds of cleaning magick until you find your flow.
Libra
Libra moons feel best when they can enjoy the company of others, whether it’s letting someone else decide where you’re going to eat for dinner or sitting in comfortable silence, everything is better together… including magick! All kinds of partner magick is going to be super charged for you, but especially sex magick. The powers of love run deep for a Libra moon, so your magickal powers come out in full force when you are making love and sending that intention out at the peak of the excitement.
Scorpio
Scorpio moons are known for being dark, moody and mysterious. If you have a Scorpio moon it means that you have a certain inclination towards things that are spooky, so you probably loved ouija boards, ghost stories and scary movies as a kid. It only makes sense that your magick power is death magick. Now, it’s not as scary as it seems because death magick can take many forms. On the one hand, you might be a medium and able to speak to spirits. On the other hand, you have the powers of deep regeneration within you. Old things can become new again in your hands.
Sagittarius
There's a deep desire for knowledge in every Sagittarius moon. You want to absorb as much as you can from books and from life, spending equal time in your youth reading and also getting into trouble. I’d bet you probably spent a lot of time as a kid learning about Greek mythology and ancient Egypt, two rich histories steeped in intrigue and ritual. Because of this you have a natural connection to deities and deity work. Choose a few gods and goddesses that call to you and begin speaking and working with them to enhance your magick.
Capricorn
I always say that Capricorn moons are just Scorpio moons in a tasteful blazer. You’re as deep and moody as all your Scorpio friends, but you choose to channel your energy towards fixing problems instead of gloriously wallowing in your emotional depths. Tangible things and visible growth have always been easier for you to comprehend and work with, which is why plant magick is your natural magickal gift. If you don’t already have a garden, start one today and set an intention with each seed you sow.
Aquarius
Aquarius moons are the natural observers of the zodiac, which means that sometimes you feel like an outsider looking upon your own life. I bet that you had a ceiling full of glow in the dark stars when you were a kid, which is why cosmic magick and astrology are your superpowers in this life. Timing your spells around significant astrological happenings will enhance your magick as it connects you to the larger energies of the solar system.
Pisces
Pisces moons feel everything so deeply, and I’m not just talking about your own emotions, you feel the emotions of everyone and everything in this world--that’s a big burden to hold upon your shoulders! With the sensitivity of this water moon your natural superpower and magickal gift in this lifetime has always been divination. Your intuition is on point and should always be listened to, so incorporate tarot cards and pendulums into your next spell.
Your Magickal Tool of Power
The house your moon sits in in your natal chart is where your magick feels at home. Whereas your moon sign can tell you what kind of magick is your superpower, the house it’s in will tell you what you can use in order to channel that power. Scroll down on the list below to find the house your moon is in and see what kind of magickal tool is the best for your particular moon sign.
1st House
1st house moons filter their magick through their own personal lens and world view, so your magickal tool of power is mirrors. Whether you use them for divination, mediumship, or to recite incantations into, your should always have a mirror on hand when you’re casting spells
2nd House
2nd house moons feel the most comfortable with tangible things, so crystals should be your magickal tool of choice. You can imbue them with any intention and watch it flourish in the weeks that follow.
3rd House
If you have a 3rd house moon then the best way for you to work through your feelings and intuitive nudges is through writing. Use a special journal for all your magickal workings because if you write it down it will come to fruition.
4th House
4th house moons feel a deep connection to their home and family, so a cauldron and/or mortar and pestle are going to be the tool that aids you most in your magickal dealings. Use it to burn incense, crush herbs, mix a potion and more!
5th House
5th house moons are endlessly creative and have a certain spark for life, so you should always have a candle on deck. Candles will work especially well for you, so dress it up and send your intention out there with the lighting of the flame.
6th House
6th house moons know how to work hard and solve a problem, so cords and knotting rituals will aid you most in your magickal dealings. Whether it’s cutting ties or binding someone/something, the use of rope and cords will serve you.
7th House
If you have a 7th house moon partnership is important to you, so if you don't have some already, choose some patron (and matron) deities. Putting their figurines on your altar will make sure you get all the spiritual help you can.
8th House
8th house moons feel deeply connected to the people they love, so sometimes cutting ties is harder than it feels like it should be, unless you have an athame in your tool box! An athame is a double edge ritual dagger meant for cutting energy, so buy one or make one for your practice.
9th House
9th house moons love to read and absorb new, enlightening teachings, so a holy or sacred text is going to be your tool of power. Remember, you get to decide which text is holy or sacred to you though!
10th House
10th house moons go big or go home! You put your all into everything you do, so channel that energy with a wand. It’s the perfect way to direct the powerful energy from your 10th house moon into your big dreams and desires.
11th House
If you have an 11th house moon that means that you value community and you also dream big. Use bowls and bells to clear your space before you do magick to make sure the vibes are on point.
12th house
12th house moons are deeply introspective and naturally psychic, so graveyard dirt is going to be a powerful tool for you--just make sure you ask before you take it! Graveyard dirt can work to strengthen your connection to your ancestors and also to put an end to certain things in your life, so be sure to be clear in how you use it.
Now What?
Now take what you’ve learned from the sign and house of your moon and see if it can inspire you for your next spell or ritual. For instance a Virgo moon in the 11th house may want to physically clean their space and then energetically cleanse it with sound bowls. A Sagittarius moon in the 2nd house may want to go to a crystal shop and call upon their patron deities to help them pick out the perfect crystal for their intention.
Remember to have fun and trust the magick of your moon sign!
