Many other astrological events and special occasions worth accounting for this year are not on this list. Looking into what is most relevant to your astrological pull can be a nourishing direction to go with this information. However, simply working with these dates can make all the difference in the way we experience self-care.
January 2nd— Super New Moon
A Super New Moon occurs when the moon is closest to Earth in orbit. With this Super New Moon so close to the beginning of the year, it can be a great opportunity to invest in new commitments and ideas.
January 17th— Wolf Moon
The Farmer's Almanac calls this the Wolf Moon for the reported increased howling at this time of year. This moon tends to be that peak point for most facing the seasonal blues, bringing out the wild side of all those who chose to sync up with this moon.
April 16th— Pink Moon
The Pink Moon refers to the first full moon during spring. It is a nourishing opportunity to devote oneself to growth. Taking the evening of the Pink Moon to invest in self-care and affirming habits can lead to enhanced restoration during the following days as the moon tapers back into its newness. Whether 2022 or during the springs that follow, keep an open heart for that first full moon of spring.
April 30th – Black Moon
The Black Moon refers to the extra full moon during a season. There are typically only three, so the fourth is the one that gets titled The Black Moon of the year. It is suggested to not indulge in undesired habits during a Black Moon's night, as superstitions warn of enhanced attachments to the actions.
May 16th –- Total Lunar Eclipse
In May of 2022, there will be a powerful lunar eclipse worth being still and sound for.
