The MOON

The Moon is a satellite rather than a planet. It can also be called a ‘luminary’. As some of you might know, the moon affects the ocean with its tidal pulls but it also affects the human body because it consists of almost 70% of water. The Moon affects women more because of the connection between the lunar cycles and their menstrual cycle. A menstrual cycle lasts 28 days, which is about as long as a moon cycle. The moon takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes to complete one round around the earth. Normally, the ovulation happens around full moon, when everything is coming into full circle and fruition and the shedding usually happens around new moon, which is the darkest phase of the moon.

The moon represents powerful feminine energy. It signifies wisdom, intuition, birth, death, reincarnation, and a spiritual connection. Throughout time, people across the world have worshipped it and gathered to celebrate the full moon. Each phase of the Moon’s cycle has a unique visual characteristic and spiritual meaning. We are all capable of attuning with the moons energies, activating our inner power. The lunar cycle is made up of different stages.

Each month holds a specific symbolic meaning for each full moon, and so does the weekday it falls on. The full moon also falls in a different astrological sign.
