There’s a simple division between “fruitful” and “power” signs; “fruitful” signs are signs that are beneficial for starting new things, having new beginnings, and planting the seeds of intention and manifestation.
Power signs are signs that have great emotional power behind them and when a Full Moon occurs in them it’s an excellent opportunity for release and brief loss of control to clear the path for fertility in the long run.
Some signs are both “fruitful” and “powerhouses”.
Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, and Virgo are power signs. Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces are fertile signs.
Aries, Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, and Capricorn are both powerful and fruitful signs, so if a New Moon occurs in one of these signs – make sure you’re doing a ritual for starting new things and setting things in motion.
Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Pisces are both fruitful and introspective. These signs offer depth and exploration of our inner nature. If a Full Moon occurs in one of these signs – make sure you’re releasing suppressed emotions, negative traits, trauma, doing shadow work, and acquiring control you might feel like you’ve lost.
New Moons are perfect for goal and intention setting, for new beginnings, new aspirations, and planting the seeds that you intend to nurture and grow. Moon moves in 28-day cycles, but when we’re doing Moon magic, we do it in 6-month cycles.
For example, something that we started on a New Moon in Capricorn will culminate on Full Moon in Cancer, 6 months later. So bear in mind the 6-month period when you’re doing New Moon Rituals and be patient with yourself, your magic, and your results.
