Last night, as I was journaling by candlelight, a strange thought struck me: What if Bitcoin—that elusive digital currency—is influenced by something as ancient and universal as the phases of the moon? I haven’t established that connection, and I wouldn’t use a full moon to time a trade.
What interests me is the chance to set a clear intention around money and check in with myself. I’m happy to bring a candle and a journal to that question. I’m much less comfortable turning a feeling of synchronicity into a price prediction.
So, whether you’re a seasoned investor or just spiritually curious, let’s look at the lunar claims and the room they leave for a personal ritual.
The Power of the Full Moon
Farmers swear by it, night owls feel its pull, and witches know it’s the perfect time for powerful manifestation rituals. In the language of moon magic, the full moon amplifies energy—it’s a time of culmination, clarity, and often, dramatic shifts.
But what does this have to do with Bitcoin? I like the full moon as a cosmic spotlight on my feelings about money—fear, greed, and optimism. That image gives me something to reflect on.
The tempting idea is that lunar phases line up with Bitcoin’s price movements. These are the claims I would question:
Full Moons: The claim is that Bitcoin’s price tends to become more volatile within three days of a full moon. I can’t substantiate that window or the supposed surge in trading activity, so I wouldn’t use it as a signal.
New Moons: The idea that the new moon—a time for quiet beginnings and introspection—also means slower price growth or consolidation needs evidence of its own.
Could a price move and a full moon coincide? That would still leave my question unanswered: what shows the moon had anything to do with it? A feeling of synchronicity isn’t enough for me to call this a Bitcoin strategy.
Using Lunar Cycles for Intention-Setting
If you’re feeling inspired to experiment, keep the focus on your intentions and feelings about money. Here are a few ways to give that reflection a lunar rhythm:
1. Full Moon Manifestation
On the night of a full moon, light a green or gold candle (colors associated with wealth and prosperity). Write down your financial intentions—what abundance means to you and how you want to feel about money.
Meditate on your intentions. If you find yourself picturing Bitcoin’s price climbing, ask what you’re hoping that would give you.
2. New Moon Planning
Use the new moon as a time to revisit your intentions. What still matters to you? What feels different?
Write down questions you want to explore in your journal. In lunar symbolism, the new moon is a time for quiet planting—setting the stage for future growth. Let that image guide your reflection.
3. Keep an Energy Journal
Note the moon phase alongside your feelings about money. If Bitcoin is on your mind, write down what draws you to it and what worries you.
Note your own energy levels, too. Use those entries to reflect on how you felt, without turning them into predictions about your next trade.
If you would rather give those money intentions a ritual form, wealth and prosperity spells are another way to explore what abundance means to you.
A Witchy Perspective on Bitcoin and the Moon
Here’s where it gets fun: In witchcraft, the moon governs intuition, cycles, and transformation. Bitcoin, as a digital currency that disrupts traditional financial systems, feels like a perfect match for lunar energy. Both are mysterious, constantly shifting, and have an almost magical ability to shape the world.
The image of Bitcoin as a modern talisman for abundance appeals to me as a metaphor. By reflecting on your intentions alongside lunar cycles, you’re exploring your hopes around money—you’re giving those hopes a place in your ritual.
If you want a ritual that is more about release and reset than about price, the full moon ritual that changed my life is the one I keep coming back to.
Resources for Lunar Reflection
If you’re ready to explore the ritual side further, here are some starting points. Keep a resource’s purpose in mind when you use it:
Lunar Calendar Apps: Use apps like Moon Phase Calendar or Deluxe Moon to track upcoming full and new moons.
Crypto Tracking Tools: If you already use CoinGecko or TradingView, keep your price notes separate from your ritual notes.
Books on Lunar Magic: Try Lunar Abundance by Ezzie Spencer or The Moon Book by Sarah Faith Gottesdiener to deepen your connection to lunar cycles.
Reading About Money: If you explore The Secret Language of Money by David Krueger, bring the same question to it: what evidence supports any financial claim?
Final Thoughts
Whether you believe in the moon’s influence or simply enjoy its symbolism, it offers plenty to think about—from the tides to our emotions. Bitcoin, as a force of modern transformation, feels like a natural counterpart to lunar cycles. For me, that connection belongs in a journal.
So the next time you’re staring at a glowing full moon, consider what money and abundance mean to you. I’d reach for a candle and a blank page.
