Journal For Moon Phases - Align Your Intentions with Journaling Moon Phases

https://lestallion.com/collections/journal-notebook-for-moon-phases

Ever noticed feeling more emotional during a full moon, or particularly inspired when the sky is dark? You're not alone. The moon's gravitational pull affects massive oceans—why not our bodies and minds? 

Tracking your moods, energy, and intentions alongside lunar phases can reveal surprising patterns in your emotional landscape, offering valuable self-knowledge and a structured framework for personal growth. Through dedicated journaling, many people discover how to work with—rather than against—these natural rhythms.

Each phase carries its own energy: new moons for fresh starts and intention-setting; waxing moons for building momentum and taking action; full moons for manifestation, celebration, and release; waning moons for reflection and integration. By consciously engaging with these cycles, you can align your goals and projects with supportive cosmic energy.

We share stories of real transformation through this practice. Emily discovered predictable patterns in her creativity and emotional responses after just months of tracking moon phases. Mark finally completed a long-delayed project by setting intentions with the new moon and taking small, documented steps during the waxing phase—finding himself "in sync with a rhythm instead of fighting against himself."

The effectiveness of this practice relies on consistency and organization. A quality journal with numbered pages, thick paper, and thoughtful design features supports your journey, transforming scattered observations into a coherent personal narrative across lunar cycles. The physical experience matters too—premium materials elevate the practice from mere note-taking to meaningful ritual.

Ready to explore your connection to these ancient cycles? Start by checking in during the main moon phases, noting your emotions, energy, and dreams. Don't worry about perfection—even simple observations build into valuable insights over time. You might be surprised how tuning into the moon's rhythm offers a new lens for understanding your own life's flow and well-being.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Deep Dive.
Today we're jumping intosomething lots of people seem
curious about this idea that themoon cycles might actually
connect with our inner world.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Right Things like our moods, our intentions, even
what we're trying to manifest.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Exactly, and we hear from many of you that you're
interested but maybe looking fora more you know structured way
to explore that connection.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah, and that's where journaling comes in,
specifically using a dedicatedjournal notebook for tracking
these moon phases.
Think of it as a kind ofpersonal space for this practice
.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
And we know the stallion journals often come up
in this context they make thesewell, really premium notebooks
that seem designed with lunarinsights in mind.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
They do.
They have features specificallyaimed at supporting this kind
of reflection and ritual.
So we thought we'd explore thebenefits of moon phase
journaling today and look at howa dedicated tool like a
listallion can you know reallyhelp.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Okay, so let's start with the why.
Why track the moon in the firstplace?
It sounds maybe a bit mysticalto some.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Well, it might seem that way now, but historically
it was incredibly common.
If you look back many cultureslike Native American traditions,
celtic practices.
They deeply relied on lunarcycles.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
For practical stuff right, Like farming.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Absolutely Farming.
Healing practices, spiritualtiming it was all tied to the
moon.
The core idea is that themoon's influence isn't just the
tides out there in the ocean.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
It might affect us internally too.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
That's the perspective that it could
influence our emotions, maybeour energy levels, even creative
flow.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Interesting.
So the sources we looked atsuggest that actually tracking
this, writing it down in ajournal, can help you spot
patterns.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Exactly.
You might start noticing oh, Itend to feel more inward or
reflective around the new moon,or maybe more energized, even a
bit emotional, around the fullmoon.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
And how does that connect to things like setting
intentions or manifestation?

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Well, the idea is that by knowing the sort of
energy of a particular phase,like the new moon for beginnings
, you can align your intentionsmore effectively.
It's about working with thecycle, not against it.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Okay, and the journal becomes the place to track all
this moods, energy, intentions.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Relax dreams, productivity, that sense of
inner balance.
It becomes your personallogbook for observing these
connections.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Right, but let's be real.
Starting another journalinghabit can be tough.
What are the hurdles peopleface with moon journaling
specifically?

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Oh, definitely consistency.
It's easy to mean well plan towrite things down at the new
moon or full moon, but then lifegets busy and you forget.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Or you write things down, but it's all scattered,
maybe in different notebooks oron scraps of paper.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Exactly.
It gets disorganized.
You lose track of past insights, so it's hard to see those
longer term patterns we werejust talking about.
Feeling overwhelmed by what towrite can also be a thing.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
So this is where a dedicated journal, like those
from Lestallion, can really makea difference because of the
features.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Precisely.
Take something seemingly simplelike numbered pages.
That alone gives you structure.
You can easily reference back.
What was I feeling three newmoons ago?

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Okay, I.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
And having a back pocket, super useful for tucking
in things like a printed moonphase calendar or maybe little
notes, affirmations you'vewritten.
Keeps it all together.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, that makes sense, and some might even have
a table of contents section.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Some do, and that adds another level.
You could potentially trackthemes over time.
Maybe you note peak creativityor time for rest and find those
entries quickly.
It turns it from just randomentries into a usable record.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Okay, so we have the journal.
We're tracking the phases.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
How do we actively use this with intentions?
What are the different energies?

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Right.
So each main phase is thoughtto have its own flavor.
The new moon?
That's like a blank slate,perfect for setting new goals,
planting seeds for what you wantto grow.
It's about fresh starts.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Makes sense, new beginnings.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Then, as the moon appears to grow bigger the
waxing moon phase the energy isseen as building.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
It's about growth motivation, taking action on
those intentions you set.
Expansion Got it Building uptowards the full moon, peak
energy.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
This is often seen as a time for manifestation,
bringing things to light,culmination, but it's also,
importantly, a time foracknowledging what's working and
maybe what needs to be released.
Release yeah releasingnegativity, letting go of what's
no longer serving you.
And that leads into the waningmoon, as the light decreases.
This phase is more aboutreflection, integration, inner

(04:30):
work, processing what came upduring the full moon.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
So the journal helps you consciously work with these
phases.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Exactly.
You might use the new moonpages to write down clear
affirmations or goals.
Then maybe during the full moon, you reflect on progress,
celebrate wins or write aboutwhat you're ready to let go of.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
And the waning moon for deeper reflection on
feelings.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Precisely.
It provides that dedicatedspace and you know the feel of
the journal matters too.
Lestallion uses that reallysmooth, thick 120 GSM paper.
Why is that important?
Well, it just makes the act ofwriting more pleasant, more
mindful.
It's not just jotting notes onflimsy paper, it feels more like
a ritual, encouraging you toslow down and connect more

(05:13):
deeply with your thoughts.
It enhances the wholeexperience.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
That makes sense.
It elevates it.
So let's recap some of thoselistalian features that are
especially good for this.
Numbered pages.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yep numbered pages for organization.
The sheer number of pages too,like 211, gives you lots of
space over many cycles.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
So you don't run out quickly.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Right, the smooth, thick paper we just mentioned,
for that quality writingexperience.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
The soft faux leather cover adds to that tactile,
ritualistic feel too, doesn't it?

Speaker 2 (05:43):
It really does.
It engages the senses, and someeven have those subtle dashed
lines instead of solid lines.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Oh yeah, how does that help?

Speaker 2 (05:50):
It's just a bit less visually intrusive maybe, but
still guides.
Your writing, helps keep thingsneat, so your record is clear
and easy to read back later.
It's these thoughtful detailsthat support the practice.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
You know, this actually reminds me of my cousin
Emily.
She was feeling reallydisconnected, kind of swept up
in the day-to-day chaos you know.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Uh-huh, lots of people feel that way.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Totally.
She was always drawn to themoon but felt a bit silly trying
to like do anything with it.
She got a Lestallion journal.
I started simple, just notingher general mood and main focus
around the new and full moons.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
And after just a few months she started seeing it.
She'd look back at her notes,thanks to those numbered pages,
and realize, wow, almost everyfull moon she felt this surge of
creative energy, but also felteasily irritated.
Or around the new moon, sheconsistently felt quieter, more
introspective.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Ah, so the journal helped her map her own cycle
against the moons.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Exactly.
It wasn't about the moon makingher feel that way, necessarily,
but seeing the correlation gaveher this amazing self-awareness
she didn't have before.
It helped her anticipate andnavigate her own feelings better
.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
That's a fantastic example.
It really highlights how it's atool for self-discovery.
And I have a similar storyabout a friend, Mark.
He was really struggling withsticking to goals Good
intentions, but follow-throughwas tough.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
I think we can all relate to that Right.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
I think we can all relate to that Right?
So he started using alistallion specifically focusing
on the new moon energy for goalsetting.
He'd write his main goal forthat cycle really clearly.
Then, during the waxing phase,he'd use the journal almost
daily to jot down one small stephe took towards it.
So breaking it down, yeah, andusing the journal as an
accountability partner, almostas an accountability partner,

(07:30):
almost, he said, checking inwith it.
Seeing his progress documentedalongside the moon's growing
phase gave him this unexpectedmomentum.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Did it work.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
It really did.
He finally finished a projecthe'd been putting off for ages.
He described it as feeling likehe was finally in sync with a
rhythm.
Instead of fighting againsthimself all the time.
The structure helped himchannel that waxing moon energy.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Wow, okay, those stories really show the
practical side.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
So for listeners wanting to try this, what are
some key practices?
How can they use a journal likeLestallion effectively?

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Well, first off, consistency is helpful, but
don't beat yourself up if youmiss an entry.
Aim to check in around the keyphases New moon, first quarter.
Full moon, last quarter.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Okay, the main turning points.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yes, and really use that new moon for clarity.
What do you want to begin?
Write it down.
Use the full moon not just foracknowledging what's manifested,
but also what you're releasing.
Be specific.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
And pay attention to feelings throughout.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Definitely Note emotional shifts, energy levels,
even interesting dreams.
The journal is perfect for that.
If you do any little ritualslike meditation or visualization
, jot those down too.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
And those listalian features like the numbered pages
really support looking backover time, right Seeing the
journey unfold.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Absolutely.
You can track intentions frommonths ago.
You can see if those full moonemotional surges have a pattern.
The journal becomes this richpersonal data set over time.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
So it's really about connecting the dots between the
outer cycle and your innerexperience.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Precisely.
It's using the moon's rhythm asa mirror, a guide for
self-understanding.
It can lead to better insightinto your emotional cycles,
maybe help you make decisionsaligned with your energy and
deepen whatever spiritual orcreative path you're on.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
It transforms the journal from just a notebook
into a tool for inner work,really.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yes, a tool that helps connect the cosmic and the
personal, supporting yourgrowth in harmony with these
natural cycles.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
So wrapping up this deep dive, it seems tracking
moon phases with a journal isn'tjust stargazing.
It's really about deeperself-gazing, wouldn't you say?

Speaker 2 (09:34):
I think that's a great way to put it.
It's a practical method forgaining self-understanding
seeing your own patterns moreclearly.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
And having that dedicated space, that structured
journal designed for moonphases, is key for recording
insights, setting those powerfulintentions and reflecting on
your journey.
Absolutely insights, settingthose powerful intentions and
reflecting on your journey.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Absolutely.
And using a quality journallike a Lestallion, with its
lovely paper numbered pages,that handy pocket, it just makes
the whole process moreeffective, more enjoyable.
It supports the practice.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
So maybe a final thought for you listening how
might tuning into a naturalrhythm like the moon cycle give
you a new lens, a differentperspective on your own life's
flow and your well-being?

Speaker 2 (10:15):
It's definitely something worth exploring.
