🌀 Lunar Labyrinth Calendar Worksheet

Hello moon lovers, 🌝

Part of my creative devotion this year is dedicated to observing the moon and harmonizing with it's rhythm again. 🥁

For those of you with consistent practice of connecting with the cycles of the moon, I'd love to hear if you feel like this moon cycles spiral calendar would make sense in action? 🗓️

I have been creating coloring sheets to offer my daughter when she's a bit older and to offer to other mystic mommas here looking to enrich their family's astrological studies so this is intended to be pretty basic in nature. 🖍️

If you think there's an aspect to moon gazing that I missed or a concept misused, please let me know as I'm still on my own learning journey too! 🤓

Here is how I came up with this worksheet:

My intention for this worksheet is to shift the paradigm away from linear thinking by creating a "calendar" page that looked nothing like the usual. 🤪

I put a lot of thought into this sheet and felt into what thought patterns I wanted to challenge with the activity. 🤔

My first inclination was to make it circular since that's how I've seen most moon calendars presented. ⭕

But upon further reflection, the perfect circle in turn felt almost linear in nature as there was no variation like the waves of the moon's influence based on my personal experience. 🌊

So I meditated for a while on what "path" I imagined the moon moving through over time and my subconscious bubbled up the concept of the labyrinth. 🎑

Labyrinths are made to help disorient our logical mind so that our subconscious feelings can surface. 🙃

This is one reason I allowed the date placeholders to be in all sorts of directions which would require the children to turn the page this way and that and losing all sense of top-bottom-side-to-side. 😵‍💫

At first, I imagined a single spiral labyrinth to upgrade the standard circle shape for the moon calendar... but something was still off. 🤨

So I sat with it some more and recognized that it felt like the "end" of the cycle was just spitting us out into the void of endlessness which didn't resonate with it leading to the next dark moon. 🛰️

In my mediation on how to utilize this spiraling labyrinth shape that kept true to the undulating roundedness of the moon but also honor the varying inward and outward tides that the dark moon and full moons influence respectively, I noticed that a double spiral mirrored closely the feeling of the crab slowly coming out of its spiral shell and then retreating back again to rest at the end of the cycle. 🐚

Once I placed the moons along this path, I felt like I had discovered the Golden Ratio or something because it held space for the dark moons to be within the labyrinth of time and the full moon to emerge at the outermost expression. ♾️

When I sat again with this new paradigm shift of morphing the moon calendar from circular to double spiral, I could envision how the lunar year would form into this beautiful circle of worm holes with each new moon being like a portal to the start of the next and the coloring sheets overlapping dark moon to dark moon like petals on a flower ever expanding like a fractal in the ocean of eternity. 🌌

I'm curious to hear how it comes across with your personal experience syncing with the moon and how the circular cycle feels compared to the double spiral? 🤩

I truly value your perspective on it as I know my brain is a bit "out there" and likes challenging the threads of reality. 😝

With gratitude,

Lisa
