2026 Moon Calendar + Journal Prompts
Here in the Southern Hemisphere, we’re in the heart of summer—a season of abundance, vitality, and growth. It’s a time to celebrate the fullness of life and reflect on what we’re nurturing, both within ourselves and in the world around us. As we step into 2026, aligning with nature’s rhythms can deepen our connection to our personal journey and the natural world.
This year also brings the Year of the Horse, a symbol of freedom, energy, and forward movement. 2026 invites us to embrace courage, exploration, and momentum in our lives.
Māori culture in Aotearoa offers a beautiful reminder of time’s cyclical nature through Matariki, the celebration of the new year in winter. Similarly, the phases of the moon—new, waxing, full, and waning—present opportunities for reflection, intention-setting, and release. By tuning into these lunar cycles, we can create rituals and practices that align with our personal growth and the seasons.
To support your journey, we’ve paired our 2026 Moon Calendar with journaling prompts below designed to help you connect with the energy of the year, the seasons, and the moon.
