In these traditions, the Moon represents:

* 🌙 Dreams and sleep
* 🌙 Intuition and psychic awareness
* 🌙 Emotions
* 🌙 Fertility and the menstrual cycle
* 🌙 Water, fluids, and tides
* 🌙 The subconscious mind

Herbs were assigned to the Moon if they were believed to support one or more of those qualities.

Here’s why many of the herbs on the graphic are associated with the Moon:

* Mugwort: Historically one of the strongest “moon herbs.” Used in Europe and Asia to promote vivid dreams, dream recall, and rituals connected to the full moon.
* Clary sage: Traditionally associated with intuition and calming the mind. Modern studies also suggest its aroma may reduce stress and anxiety.
* Lemon balm: Used for centuries to ease nervousness, insomnia, and emotional tension, fitting the Moon’s calming symbolism.
* Blue lotus: Revered in ancient Egypt as a ceremonial flower. Traditionally linked with relaxation and altered states, though evidence for many of these effects is limited.
* Jasmine: Fragrant flowers long associated with romance, femininity, nighttime blooming, and emotional well-being.
* Fennel: In folklore, believed to offer protection and purification. Astrological traditions often classify it as lunar because of its connection to digestion and body fluids.
* Milky oats: Valued by herbalists as a nourishing herb for the nervous system and emotional exhaustion.
* Myrrh: Used in religious ceremonies and meditation for thousands of years, symbolically linked to spiritual reflection.
* Sage: Burned ritually for purification in many cultures, although its association with the Moon varies by tradition.

Some of the image is debatable

A few herbs shown don’t have a universal “Moon” association:

* Milk thistle is more commonly linked with the liver and sometimes the planet Mars in classical astrology.
* Star anise is usually associated with protection and prosperity rather than the Moon specifically.
* Nutmeg is traditionally linked to Jupiter or the Sun in many systems.
* Aloe has been associated with both the Moon and Venus depending on the herbal tradition.
* Mucuna isn’t a classic Western astrological herb at all. It’s more prominent in Ayurvedic medicine.

Tomorrow is July's New Moon! 🌑 The New Moon marks the beginning of a lunar cycle. It takes the Moon about 29.5 days to orbit Earth, so there’s a New Moon about once a month. (Every 29 months, two New Moons occur within the same month. The second one is called a Black Moon!) 🌑

The word "Moon" shares its origins with the Latin word metri (to measure) and mensis (month). The Moon is called the Moon because it is used to measure the months! Why is this no longer true? Find out at Almanac.com/What-New-Moon
