Legacy of Light: Your Rhythm Is Written in the Moon and Stars

We all carry a pulse that began the moment we took our first breath in this world — one written not just in our DNA, but in the sky. The moon phase we’re born under can offer profound insight into our soul’s purpose, emotional rhythm, and inner calling. Each lunar phase holds a different energetic imprint. Just like the moon herself, we move in cycles — weaving a unique energetic signature the world can feel and be inspired by.
Here’s a brief look at what each phase can symbolize. May it help guide you to your purpose and spark a revolution in your soul.
If you feel called to reconnect with your natural rhythm, I invite you to my free masterclass: Reclaiming Your Rhythm.
🌙 Lunar Birth Phases & Soul Themes - What does this Reveal About Your Legacy of Light?
The moon you were born under reveals more than timing or current energy.
Each phase is a soul archetype — a blueprint guiding you to understand the energy you bring into the world simply by being you.
May these reflections offer insight into your purpose, your patterns, and the legacy your energy is here to shape.
New Moon — The Initiator
Fresh starts, bold visions, instinctive action. Here to create what’s never been done before.
Waxing Crescent — The Intender
Dreamers and builders. Here to take vision and nurture it into momentum.
First Quarter — The Risk-Taker
Brave, decisive, action-oriented. Here to challenge norms and push through obstacles.
Waxing Gibbous — The Refiner
Insightful, patient, detail-oriented. Here to polish, improve, and persevere toward goals.
Full Moon — The Illuminator
Expressive, relational, magnetic. Here to embody wholeness and reflect truth to others.
Waning Gibbous — The Teacher
Wise, generous, thoughtful. Here to share knowledge, tell stories, and guide others.
Last Quarter — The Releaser
Bold, honest, discerning. Here to break patterns and create space for what’s next.
Waning Crescent — The Soul Guide
Intuitive, mystical, inward. Here to complete cycles, bring closure, and seed wisdom for what’s to come.
I was born under the Waning Crescent — the moon’s final sliver of light before darkness returned. This Balsamic Moon is often linked to soul wisdom, endings, and the sacred pause before rebirth. It’s a time of release and reflection — of clearing what no longer serves so something new can rise.
My son was born under the New Moon — the moment of pure potential, before even a sliver of light is visible. This is the energetic beginning of the lunar cycle — bold, instinctual, and pioneering. He came into this world carrying the spark of something new.
That means I was born just before the end, and he was born just before the beginning. We’re a perfect hinge — the closing and the opening of a greater rhythm. And our relationship has always felt like that: rare, sacred, and deeply meaningful.
Even my old boss, Peter, once said he’d never witnessed a bond like ours before. There’s just something about it — something you can’t explain, but you can feel.
Here is the poem that arrived in my heart as a whisper to the soul — a reflection of what it means to walk in different rhythms, yet remain part of the same divine cycle. It began as a piece about my son and me, but my hope is that something in these words finds you, holds you, and reminds you of your own rhythm.

🌑 When the Seed Meets the Soil
A Poetic Reflection for a Waning Crescent Mother and Her New Moon Son
I am the crescent moon fading,
the dusk before the dawn,
a keeper of endings,
a witness to what must fall away
so that new life can rise.
He is the shimmer in the shadow,
the quiet inhale before the exhale,
a pulse in the fertile void,
a fire hidden in the ash.
I am the silence that teaches.
He is the thunder that builds.
I walk barefoot through memory.
He marches forward with purpose.
I plant prayers in the soil.
I carry wisdom like water —
slow, profound, and sacred.
He lays stone in sacred order.
He carries power like a talisman —
strong, steady, and true.
We walk different paths,
but something in our bond
whispers of a larger rhythm.
We are mother and son,
but also mystic and maker,
healer and warrior,
soul and spine.
Not meant to mirror,
but to reflect —
to show the world a new way:
where healing and strength
are not separate things,
but one force, expressed differently.
A place where healing is held,
where softness meets steel,
where sacred space is forged
by memory that endures
and dreaming that believes.
He shows the world how to build.
I show the world how to heal.
And somehow, without planning it,
we reveal something timeless:
that the masculine and the mystical
can coexist.
That soul and body
are meant to flow as one.
That legacy isn’t always built
with bricks or knowledge —
but in the silent, sacred knowing
between spirit and life.
You are not repeating cycles.
You are completing them.
You are not here to build what the eye can see,
but to leave a legacy of light.
David, I love you — more.
There’s nothing we can’t face,
no storm we can’t weather,
no distance that can dim what each of us carries inside.
You’ve got strength that humbles me,
even in your most challenging moments.
You’ve taught me more than you know —
about grit, about grace, about truth.
Your New Moon energy lights the path forward.
Because of you, we are rewriting the story of our family.
Breaking old patterns.
Releasing what no longer needs to be passed down.
And choosing — with every breath,
every brave step — a new way to live and love.
I’m always here — steady,
proud, and cheering you on.
