February 2026
This Month’s Ritual Calendar
Each phase of the moon asks something different of your flame. Here is how to answer.
New Moon
February 28, 2026The new moon is a doorway. Light a black or dark blue candle and sit with what you are calling in. Write your intentions on paper — not digitally, on paper — and place it beneath the candle holder. Let the flame hold your words while you hold the silence.
Black, dark blue, or deep violet
Cedarwood, frankincense, or vetiver — grounding, rooted, still
Waxing Crescent
March 1–6, 2026The flame is building. This is the phase of momentum — light a white or cream candle each morning during this waxing period. Revisit your new moon intentions. Add one small action each day that moves toward what you wrote.
White, cream, or pale gold
Bergamot, lemon, or rosemary — clarifying, energizing, forward
Full Moon
March 14, 2026Maximum illumination. Light a white candle and a rose-colored candle side by side. The white for clarity. The rose for release. Write what you are letting go — then burn the paper safely in the flame. Watch it transform.
White paired with rose, pink, or roseberry
Rose, jasmine, or ylang-ylang — opening, releasing, honoring
Waning
March 15–27, 2026The flame quiets. Use this period for gratitude and reflection. Light a soft, warm-toned candle — amber or honey — in the evening. No intentions. No goals. Just presence. Let the ritual be about being with the flame, not asking anything of it.
Amber, honey, or warm brown
Sandalwood, vanilla, or chamomile — soothing, reflective, restful
