Description
Connect with the primal, feminine power of the Moon. Learn what the heavens are telling you, how to read them, and how to act on this knowledge; plus find inspiration in profiles of many strong women.
There was a time when the feminine and her guiding light, the Moon, were all-powerful. Men were seen primarily as consorts to the Great Goddess, as embodied in every woman. In these peaceful, agrarian societies, primal feminine powers—intuition, emotion, sexuality, creation, communion with nature—were honored. And the moon, which waxed and waned in predictable cycles, was a symbol for the birth, growth, death, andrenewal of life on Earth.
Moon Power’s 12 chapters each represent a moon sign. The introduction describes what’s meant by Moon Power, provides some history about ancient moon worship, and explains why it went underground. The basics of moon phases and the meaning of new and full moons are explained. Simple rituals for connecting with the power of the moon are included. The book:
- Offers guidance on working with each sign as the moon passes through it (for example, when the moon is in Aries, take assertive action, but watch impulsivity)
- Includes in each chapter a profile of a powerful woman who typifies her lunar sign (Angelina Jolie, Aries Moon; Malala Yousafzai, Libra Moon)
- Introduces a Goddess and Power Animal for each moon sign and activities and rituals for connecting with their energy during certain moon phases
Moon Power will inspire you to recognize and develop your lunar nature, showing you how—through reflection, ritual, and purposeful action—to understand your emotional nature and inner self more deeply.

Moon Power by Simone Butler is a wonderful book about the astronomical moon signs and how the moon affects our lives and personality. This book goes into great detail on each sign and suggests goddesses that are associated with each moon sign and how to worship them. I also enjoyed the collection of rituals that each sign is attributed. These rituals can be done by anyone but it is thoughtfully paired with a sign that has a deep connection to it. I think this book would be a wonderful addition to any astrological book collection and companion to magical workings.

A great book for anyone who wants to better understand how we're influenced by our moon.
You'll find information regarding each zodiac sign, explaining the main traits, weaknesses and strengths, rituals, stories of ancient goddesses, current examples of famous people and questions to make you reflect. Although I've been reading a lot on the subject, this book has given me a lot of information that I didn't know. It was a very interesting read!
* I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This book is an easy to read, well structured guide to how the moon and signs affect you on an individual level. Very clearly laid out, it's great for beginners or more experienced partitioners alike. I can't wait to practise my new skills!

There is so much information packed into this book, that it's a fantastic read for any goddess looking to connect with the moon. Each chapter offers an insight into a moon sign - not a sun sign - which people often confuse with the traditional sun sign.
I enjoyed learning more about my moon sign, Gemini, and the goddess. Scheherazade. The book provides information on the goddess' sacred monkey (in this case, a monkey), and also provides instructions on constructing an altar to the goddess.
As a writer, I thoroughly enjoyed the prompts at the end of the chapter, which really made you think about things. (For example: "Were there changes in your childhood that left you feeling insecure?" It allowed me to take a break and think about honoring my inner child, even in my 30s.
If you are interested in learning more about your moon sign, I definitely recommend picking up this book... and if you think you know all there is to know about it, I can guarantee that you'll find something new in this book!
