Welcome to Moonshadow, where the Moon drags your shadows into the light.

Here, we skip the sugar and go straight for the rot. Each lunation, we crack open the shadows you’d rather ignore and sift through the mess.

Moonshadow is your guide to the Moon’s phases with biting reflections and prompts that tear through your excuses. Curated by shadow work practitioner Ashley Abubakar, with astrological insights from astrologer KP Kaszubowski and occasional guest editors who share their perspective on the Shadow and the Stars.

What to expect here:

• mini essays on key shadow work concepts

• connections to the current moon phase (other planetary influences are folded in, when necessary)

• prompts for working with the shadow on a weekly basis — here, we know regular acquaintance with our shadows makes for a better experience on this earth.

Soon-to-be:

• monthly shadow work group calls

• exclusive content like guided shadow meditations

• interviews with shadow work practitioners and lunar astrologers
