A Moon on Every Day of the Year
This is the seventeenth edition of Stacey Demarco’s planner, and it opens with her own letters: one thanking the people behind the book, and one explaining why she built it as a tool for living by the cycles of the Sun, Moon and seasons. The weekly spread covers seven days across two pages, Monday first, with a Moon symbol beside each date and a label for the phase: waxing, waning or dark. Major events get a line of their own, such as a new Moon in Gemini with its sign and time, and some days carry a short question or prompt to take into the day. A small calendar of the current and next month sits at the corner of the spread, and her how-to-use letter describes working with the natural cycles as an earth-honoring Pagan and Witch, in the voice of a guide talking to a friend. The cover shows a pale Moon framed by a wreath of vines above a meadow crowded with butterflies, a fawn, a rabbit and a hedgehog, and the same moonlit wreath fills the acknowledgements spread inside.
Each month has a god or goddess, and February’s guide is Venus, whose pages give the Roman goddess’s myths and a Love Goddess Vision Board project with a gathered list of supplies, a spoken invocation and an offering, after which the finished board stays on your altar for a full lunar cycle. The Wheel of the Year runs through the planner as well. The Imbolc entry, dated February 1, tells the story of Brigid and suggests ways to celebrate, and it faces a lined notes page set beneath a night-sky wheel that runs from Yule at the top through Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lammas and Mabon to Samhain, with the zodiac signs set around the ring. A reflection page opens each month with questions such as what you’d like to create, which dates matter, what would give you joy and where your devotion lies. Spells and invocations for specific Moon phases, including equinoxes and solstices, sit alongside the festivals. The planner carries a bookmark ribbon and an inside pocket for loose papers, and the paper is FSC-certified.
Practical Ritual Applications
Fill in the weekly spread in pencil on Sunday evening: appointments in the day boxes, then a word in the margin where the Moon changes sign or phase, so you can see which days suit a conversation, a clear-out or a quiet evening at home. Use the dark Moon days for rest and planning, and the new Moon and full Moon entries as natural points to open and close a monthly review. The reflection page at the start of each month is a place to set your intentions for the month; return to it on the full Moon and mark what has moved. When the Wheel of the Year page for a sabbat arrives, read it a few days ahead, choose one celebration idea and put it in the day box.

How to Work With the Moon Week by Week
A weekly rhythm turns the printed phases into a habit.
- Start with the month's figure
Open each month with its god or goddess pages and the reflection questions. Answer one question a day through the first week, letting the page fill gradually. Read the Moon entries in the light of that figure, so the month has a theme to carry in the margins of your appointments.
- Convert the Moon times once
Convert the printed Moon times to your own time zone before the week begins. Write your local time beside the next three events, and note the date your clocks change for daylight saving time, since the offset shifts then. Doing it once for each cluster of events saves recalculating on the day you need the answer.
- Mark the turning points
Circle the new Moon and full Moon days on the weekly spread and write one line at each: an intention at the new Moon, and what changed at the full Moon. Add the dark Moon day as a pause. By the end of a month you'll see the pattern of the phases in your own handwriting.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I keep this planner on the shelf because every day shows a Moon phase, so the basic cycle never needs a second reference, and because spells, god and goddess pages and festival notes sit in the same book as your appointments. It works for a beginner learning why the Moon matters to a practice and for someone who already follows the sabbats and wants spells timed to phases. For the same lunar rhythm on a wall, my calendars and almanacs collection carries the 2027 lineup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Eastern Time. The sample weekly spread prints the June 4 new Moon in Gemini as 3.40 pm EDT, and Eastern Time runs four hours behind Universal Time in summer and five in winter. Pacific readers subtract three more hours. A phase printed late in the evening Eastern falls on the next date in the UK. A reviewer in Italy wrote that a phase in the 2026 edition looked off by days, so check dates against your own zone before you plan around them.
The publisher says the 2027 spiral binding lets the pages lie flat, and it adds an inside pocket and room to record notes. Reviewers of the 2026 edition were split on construction: one wished for bigger spirals or a hard cover so the planner would open fully, and another said the pages hung below the cover and it didn't look built to last a year of handling. If you carry it daily, a pouch or sleeve will protect the cover.
Northern. The cover says so, and the dates follow the Northern calendar: the Wheel of the Year entry puts Imbolc on February 1, and the Moon times are in Eastern Time. If you live south of the equator, your seasons run six months apart from the printed festivals, so you would shift the seasonal pages by half a year and keep the Moon dates as printed.
It explains its own method in a how-to-use letter in which Demarco describes how she works with the cycles, and the publisher promises explanations of the Moon phases and practical magical suggestions for each season. One reviewer of the 2026 edition, a beginner to lunar work and spellcasting, said it taught her a great deal in a few pages, including timing spells with the Moon and the Wheel of the Year. Each entry is short, so it serves as a brief introduction to spellcraft.
