Welcome to the Muses of The Femme Moon! Happy you’re here!
You may have come across The Femme Moon as an Astrology meme page and have chosen your own adventure by looking outside of Instagram and visiting us on the inter-webs! The Femme Moon is a publication and press, home to the SYMPOSIUM poetry series established in 2020 (which later became a reading event with a residency at Argosy) along with housing other publications like The Sensual World, the Concoctionary cookbook series (whose sales go to jail support for protestors via Atlanta Solidarity Fund) and the art-porn of Cum Manifesto (est 2014). We are a small team based out of ATL, GA though our collaborations reach worldwide and are in the dozens.
What’s in a MoonMuse?
Each Museletter reflects on the New or Full Moon with a side of Zodiac Seasonings, Wheel of the Year alignments & the Planetary Retrogrades that affect us Earthlings. My name is Sun and I have been a Moon Witch for nearly 30 years. Astrology will always relate to my relationship with Moon Magick.
What makes The Femme Moon Museletter a bit different is the investment in and interweaving of mythology and lore with the lunations. Astrology’s connection to Archetypes, both in ancient story-telling and modern pop culture, flavors this Substack apart from the typical star-gazing blog.
Our MoonMuse is a 2-3x a month delight with occasional Retrograde guides, full of info + advice around the micro + macro of the Signs and Moons that. Paid Subscribers receive Sign-specific reports and dates of aspects that will enhance intentional practice as we move through the Astro Seasons.
For a deeper dive into your personal chart, we recommend a reading with our resident Astrologer, Anna DunLany of Astronaut Pants. You can book a Natal Chart Reading (or others like the exquisite Romantic Desire Reading) here. Knowing your own Moon Sign is highly important to understanding your own relationship to the Moon, the ruler of our emotional inner landscape.
Duality, Polarity & Deconstruction
Sometimes I feel like I'm playing Devil's Advocate in these posts (I am an Aquarius Sun after all!). The nature of Balance is a push and pull as it is energetic frequencies between the New and Full Moons and more importantly the opposite-yet-same nature of Sister Signs.
Every Full Moon teaches us about flexibility between 2 Signs. When we soak in what seems like contradictions, we see new angles we were unaware of. Without the ability to accept the full range of spectrum ~including the unknown~ we pigeon-hole into a stubborn stand-off.
When we’re open to integrating opposites, we build resilience, the foundation to a better world for ourselves and others. Between the personal and political, the Me vs. We, the self and community, The Femme Moon believes that there is no spirituality without seeing the All.
Touchy Subjects for the Signs
While reflecting on current Sun + Moon cycles and surrounding Planetary presence, MoonMuse speaks openly about issues that affect mental health, individually and collectively. Sharing from a place of personal experience, we find that becoming attune to the Moon creates a blueprint of goals, patterns and themes that allow us to reflect on so many facets of change and conflict. I offer suggestions on how to attune with Moon Phases, Eclipse Cycles, the Polarity/Duality of Astro Axises to make the most of their frequencies.
Subjects I discuss frequently are as follows:
Depression (related to the Self and the World);
Communication skills and discrepancies;
Anxiety’s influence on decision-making;
Sexual assault and objectification;
ADHD and organizational issues;
Imposter syndrome;
Societal expectations;
Generational trauma;
Political turmoil;
Work/Life balance;
Struggles in Love;
and much more!
