A free guide for the year ahead

Writing withthe Moon

You are invited to spend 2027 writing by the light of the moon.

Each new moon is a place to begin, and each full moon shows you what has grown. This guide follows all 25 of them through the signs, and for every one it offers a theme, a writing practice, a question for your journal, and a few words from a woman writer to light the way.

Come to it whenever you can, whatever your sign, and whether you wrote yesterday or haven’t written in years.

Your guide arrives by email right away, followed by two short notes about who we are. After that we write once a week, on Sundays, in The Weekly Revolutionary. You can unsubscribe whenever you like.

When the moon comes to your sign

Choose your sun, moon, or rising sign to see when the moon will be new or full there in 2027, and what the guide invites you to write toward.

The moon comes to Capricorn three times in 2027.

  • January 7, new moonBuilding What Lasts
  • July 18, full moon and penumbral lunar eclipseRedefining Success
  • December 27, new moonCreating a Legacy of Liberation

New moon Full moon

The year opens with a new moon in Capricorn

It arrives on January 7, and its theme is Building What Lasts. This is what the guide offers you that night.

A writing practice

Reverse outlining. Write your project’s ending first, then sketch five necessary turning points backward to the beginning. Let the destination guide your choices without insisting on a rigid process.

A question for your journal

What am I committed to creating, and which sustainable routines will help me get there?

“Now more than ever we need stories.” Roxane Gay

The moon returns, and so can we. Each new page is another chance to begin.
