The Lunar Layer Cake
Luscious, and baked just for you.
The Lunar Layer Cake is a customized one on one coaching session where we explore your Natal Moon sign and its relationship to your unique creative and emotional energy. I introduce an approach to living within the progressions of lunar rhythms and the cycles of the natural world.
Living in harmony with these cycles opens the portal to a profoundly different experience of time. You restore the flow of your own energy by studying lunar cycles. You rediscover a cyclical approach to time that’s graceful, forgiving and generous, where rest and release are a given.
Working with the moon and lunar time helps us become softer and more open… to receive messages from our inner voice as well as from signs and synchronicities in our environment.
April McMurtry, The Moon is My Calendar
There was a time when I longed for release from the stress and deadline-driven urgency of life in the corporate world. I found this release, and a path to natural cycles and rhythms, in the study of lunar time.
I created The Lunar Layer Cake to share my favorite elements of lunar astrology and to change the world’s conversation about time.
How I came to create lunar layers.
I’ve been following the moon since I was 12 years old. My family moved every year or two when I was growing up. There were many changes to assimilate and new rhythms to establish. Whenever I arrived in a new city, the appearance of the moon in the night sky was such a comfort to me. It said, “I’m home!”
At the time, I knew nothing about the cycles and phases of the moon. I didn’t understand why she was sometimes a crescent, sometimes full and bright. There were nights when I didn’t see her at all. Every evening was a mystery and sightings were a wonderful surprise. But there was a rhythm, and I unconsciously embodied that rhythm.
Since adolescence, most of my creative work has been about lunar images. About the night sky, the shadows, the changing light. I wasn’t always certain what I was learning. The Moon’s gift came later, as I explored my heart for truth and wisdom. The journey continues to this day.
I’ve taken what I’ve learned and created the Lunar Layer Cake so that others may explore their unique connection.
This is what comprises the layers of your cake.
We start with the astronomy - a narrative description of the sky at the moment of your birth and the image of your natal moon.
We look at your birth chart and bring the astrological archetypes present to the conversation. The major focus is on your Birth Moon, including the sign, house, element, modality, and phase of your natal moon; your current lunar progressions and what they signify. There’s no requirement to know anything about astrology. I explain this in familiar seasonal and rhythmic language that anyone can relate to.
Your energy cycles through the year - I create a chart for you, based on The Book of Houses: An Astrological Guide to the Harvest Cycle of Human Life. You have a personal seasonal calendar and we’ll discover what it is.
A summary of these components and suggestions for how you can use further self-inquiry to create a different relationship to time.
Suggestions for ways to create a daily practice using lunar rhythms.
This includes a 90 minute one-on-one call with me.
“Elle charted my harvest cycle, which has transformed my entire year around choosing seeds, planting, tending and harvesting.”
