Moon Workshop

This is the workshop I wish had been available when I was learning about the Moon! Back then I bought every Moon book available, yet none had the information I really wanted. I wanted an astrology that was both practical and soulful–that would guide me into an honest connection with the creativity of the Moon.

That was my goal in designing this workshop–to give you the practical groundwork to experience the many exciting discoveries of the Moon’s work in your life.

Each month before the New Moon, you’ll receive by mail a 26-page workbook, personalized to your birth chart and current location. You’ll learn about the intentions of the time, where that is reflected in your chart, also how this unfolds daily through the transits of the sun, as well as the phase and signs of the Moon. You’ll learn about the solar ingress, the eight Moon phases, Moon voids, Moon signs, house positions. And more.

With each cycle, you’ll receive:

  • New Moon and Solar Ingress insights–appropriate to the season and specific to your chart
  • Current dates and teachings for the each of eight Moon phases, Moon void, sign, and house positions.
  • Plus, a new Sun-Moon astrology Lesson

It’s a lot of information! But I’ve designed it so that you can comfortably follow along at your own pace and discover the Moon’s influence in a very personal way. In fact, I promise that after following the Sun and Moon with me, not only will you know more about astrology, your personal experience of the cycles will become more alive and intimate. This is a gift to yourself you won’t regret.

You have the option of enrolling for just one cycle, three cycles, or the full year.

By Email By Mail

Praise for Dana's Moon Workshop

“I wanted you to know about the positive impact your 12 Moons Workshop has had on my understanding of the role of moon cycles in my life. I’m halfway through the year and I find so much inspiration, comfort and wisdom in your monthly booklet. I enjoy your writing style and common sense approach to daily life situations. I really needed something like this so I could grow in my understanding.”
— B.F., La Jolla, CA

“Your monthly moon reports rock! I am so glad I enrolled in your workshop. I used to go to an astrology lecture in town once a month to learn about the New Moon, but I learn so much more from your workbooks, and I don’t have to go anywhere, since they come to me!”
— H.M., Toronto, Canada

“Your Twelve Moons Workshop has been a great experience for me; I have learned so much. With my natal Saturn in Cancer, it is just what the Goddess ordered. I now feel much more in tune with the cycles of the moon. I have looked forward to getting your report in the mail every month-it’s like my own personal astrological mother to guide me through the month.”
— T.M., South Lake Tahoe, CA

“I write, scribble, journal, in around and all over your incredible Twelve Moons Journals. I am thus able to track ‘what’s happening…or happened’ and see what moon cycle, etc. it coincides with. I have learned , for instance, that ‘void of courses’ are perfect times for ‘connected meditation’ for me.”
— E.D., Salt Lake City, UT

“I carry my Twelve Moons workbook with me to work everyday-and I learn and receive so much. It has saved me many times, by showing me the deeper meanings of the time. Your insights and questions are so thought provoking. Thank you for turning my heart and my mind to the Moon!”
— S.D., Cincinnati, OH

“With the guidance of your workbook, I am finding it much easier to ‘journal.’ It is something I have tried to do in the past, but has not been fulfilling. The Moon brings up such rich material to write about that it provides an inspiration. I do love the workbooks!”
— G.P., San Diego, CA

m  Conjunction:  Like peas in a pod, planets in conjunction tend to come from the same place. They act together, but it’s also hard to tell them apart. This aspect can increase talent, focus, and intensity (“two are better than one”). Or one planet can disappear as the other dominates. Their connection feels so natural, it’s easy to think everyone blends these planetary energies just as you do—but mostly, they don’t!.

p  Sextile:  Planets in sextile are compatible, though without any fireworks. This aspect doesn’t demand your attention. It quietly presents an opportunity. You can join these archetypal forces. Donna Cunningham has called this the “Oh, that!” aspect, because that’s generally what her clients say when she describes their benefits.  To get the most from sextiles you need to actively work them.

q  Square:  Squares are wild and wonderful—but difficult too. The power struggle between these planets was likely defined in your youth, when they were impossibly challenging. People are usually aware of their squares. They force the issues that make you to grow. And that’s their gift. They ensure you learn your lessons. When you rise to the occasion, they bless you with energy, action, and success.

r  Trine:  Michael Munkasey has dubbed this the “goddess aspect” because it’s so lovely. Identifying talents you may have perfected in a previous life, trines can bring you joy. There’s a nice flow of energy between planets in trine. They support and reinforce each another. But without any struggle, you might take them for granted—neither using nor developing their gifts. An unattended trine can sometimes trick you into negative behaviors.

t  Inconjunct/Quincunx:  Your quincunx planets are innately incompatible. Bringing them into harmonious expression requires constant adjustments. This can be stressful, also motivating. You’ve got to keep changing your process, opinions or attitude—which promotes highly creative solutions.

u  Opposition:  They say opposites attract—and planets in opposition are never far from each other, though they’re constantly bickering. You may be triggered into awareness of this aspect by other people who seem to resist or undermine you.  An opposition can make you feel uncertain, insecure, or discontent, until you can accept and see yourself in both energies. Typically people find it easier to identify with one side and project the other onto unsuspecting others in the outer world.
