Welcome to Lantern & Sky.

A quiet place to reconnect with the rhythms of the sky.

Follow the changing Moon, explore the wisdom of planetary hours, reflect through guided journaling, and discover thoughtful articles that invite you to slow down, look up, and move through each day with greater awareness, intention and mindfulness.

The sky is always changing. Perhaps it’s inviting us to notice.

✦ A Lantern & Sky Reflection

Here at Lantern & Sky, we choose to approach astrology a little differently. Rather than focusing on predicting the future, we use the movements of the sky as invitations to become more present, more aware, and more intentional. Our hope is that by better understanding the present moment, we can make choices today that help create the future we want to live.
