February in lutruwita Tasmania invites gentle reflection, release, and renewal. The energy of the month encourages you to notice where old patterns or stagnant energies may be ready to fall away, creating space for clarity, growth, and alignment. Working with the moon, crystals, and herbs can help you attune to these subtle shifts and navigate the month with intention.

February also marks the height of late summer, a time of warmth, abundance, and reflection before the gradual slowing of the seasons. The sun still holds strong energy, inviting vitality and creativity, while the earth begins to whisper of rest and renewal. This transitional energy encourages balance, celebrating what has ripened and releasing what is spent. Working with crystals and herbs during this time can help you harmonise with the rhythm of the land. The late summer energy is perfect for reflecting on growth, consolidating lessons, and preparing for the quieter, introspective months ahead.

The Full Moon on February 2 is a time of illumination, culmination, and heightened intuition. This moon reveals what is ready to come into clarity and completion.

Journaling prompts for the full moon include exploring what in your life is coming to completion, what you feel grateful for this month, and what messages or insights are emerging from within that need your attention.

During the Waning Moon from February 3 to 16, the energy shifts toward release, reflection, and clearing what no longer serves you.

The New Moon on February 17 is a potent moment for planting seeds of intention and envisioning new beginnings. Crystals to support this phase include moonstone, rose quartz, aquamarine, Larimar, and Herkimer Quartz. The herb for this phase is lemon balm, which promotes calm, clarity, and focus, supporting the energy of intention-setting. During this time, journaling can be used to clarify the intentions you wish to plant for the next lunar cycle, the qualities or experiences you wish to invite into your life, and how you can align your actions with your highest intentions.

From February 18 to 29, the Waxing Moon encourages growth, creativity, and manifestation. This phase supports cultivating new habits and bringing intentions into reality.

February invites you to slow down, observe, and notice where your energy feels expansive versus heavy. By working with the combined support of the moon, crystals, and herbs, and reflecting through journaling, you create a sacred container for release, restoration, and alignment. Attuning to these natural rhythms encourages self-healing, clarity, and the intentional manifestation of your highest potential this month.
