Seasonal Dates
The suns path through the sky is a sacred one and moves just as the Moon does with its waxing and waning energy only in slower succession.
For example you could compare the Dark and New moon to the Winter Solstice then moving through the waxing part of the suns cycle to Summer Solstice which can be compare to the Full Moon then again moving through the waning suns cycle returning to the Winter Solstice.
By looking at your yearly planner in the following pages, you can enhance your magick by the phases of both the moon and sun.
Each calendar year starts in the waning phase of the suns cycle. You should be seeing the manifestations of what you worked your magick on the previous year and begin to recognise what you should be releasing in this waning phase.

Lughnasadh - 2 February - Waning Phase of the Sun’s energy
This is traditionally known as the first harvest, a time when you reap the rewards for all that you have worked for since the darker part of the year and a time to begin releasing what no longer works for you.
Autumn Equinox - 21 March - Waning Phase of the Sun’s energy
Known as the second harvest and continuing to reap your manifestations. It is Equinox, day and night are in balance, we must find balance within ourselves as we again move towards the dark half of the year and continuing to release the energies that no longer resonate with us.
Samhain - 1 May - Waning Phase of the Sun’s energy
A magickal time when the veils between the worlds are thin and we can easily step between the worlds and communicate with our Ancestor Spirits to obtain wisdom and guidance for our journey of life.
Winter Solstice - 22 June - Dark and New of the Sun’s energy
The longest night of the year, being in the depths of Winter we must go within, into the shadows for guidance to plan for our future, what we want to manifest as the earths energy grows with the waxing sun. This is the time of planting the seeds deep within us to cultivate our manifestations.
Imbolc - 1 August - Waxing Phase of the Sun’s energy
Although still in the depths of winter, there is promise of the suns return. It’s energy increasing as the days grow longer strengthening your magick and manifestations with its waxing energy. Review your plans to ensure the are all are on track
Spring Equinox - 23 September - Waxing Phase of the Sun’s energy
Flowers are blooming, plans are coming to fruition and love is in the air. Day and night are in balance, and we are reminded that we must again find the balance within ourselves. It is a time to clear and cleanse yourself and your home to make way for that new energy.
Beltane - 31 October - Waxing Phase of the Sun’s energy
A beautiful and abundant time of fertility, love, sensuality, union and friendship. Like Samhain the veils between the worlds are thin, and the Fae may step through and spend the night within this realm revelling in the energy that is surrounding us all.
Summer Solstice - 22 December - Full of the Sun’s energy
This is the longest day of the year, where the suns energy is at its peak. This is a time of abundance and gratitude when you dance within the energy of the sun at this powerful time and add that energy to your manifestation magick.
