Moon Rituals – Where astrology, Tarot, chakras, and creative practice come together in soulful reflection.
What is Traveling by Moonlight?
Traveling by Moonlight is a creative practice and blog series designed to help you move through life’s cycles with intention, clarity, and self-expression. As an astrologer, Tarot guide, and artist, I share reflections, prompts, and art invitations that combine zodiac wisdom, Tarot insight, chakra guidance, and meditative creativity.
Each post offers tools and inspiration to help you work with your intentions, whether through mandalas, art journaling, Tarot spreads, sketches, or simple contemplative exercises. You can begin at any moon and follow along for ongoing support in nurturing your intentions.
This series is for you if you want to:
- Explore astrology and Tarot in an intuitive, creative way
- Reflect on the energies of the new and full moons
- Blend art, journaling, and symbolism to support your intentions
- Experiment with mandalas, stencils, or other expressive tools

The Four Gates Mandala
The Four Gates Mandala is a sacred structure to explore mind (Air), emotions (Water), body (Earth), and desires (Fire). Moving through the gates helps you arrive at the center—your heart of unity.
It provides a meditative focus when working with color, pattern, symbols, or words. You may use it as a framework in your creative practice, returning to it whenever you want structured reflection.

Chakras &
Intuitive Practice
Chakras, Tarot, and astrology are offered as guidance, not rules. Some posts suggest a chakra focus, some include Tarot spreads, and some leave you free to follow your intuition. Your practice can be as structured or open as you like. Chakra stencils make it easy to add these designs to your mandala art.
