HOW THE MOON AFFECTS US AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT
Great ancient philosophers and spiritual people noticed that the moon has a direct effect on us! Although it is 27 million times smaller than the sun, it is 375 times closer to Mother Earth, and each and every single one of us.
It is well known that since ancient times our ancestors have been following the moon for various reasons.
The different phases of the moon have a different effect on numerous things starting with nature, our emotions, and physical wellbeing. For that reason, people across the globe have been using the moon calendar for centuries.
Scientists have proven the gravity of the moon affects the Earth in many ways – take for example the monthly rise in sea levels on shore, at times even floods! Such occurrences are directly linked to the phases of the moon.
As humans, our bodies consist of roughly 80% water. For that reason, it's hardly possible to stay unaffected by the moon phases. But it's important to keep in mind that every single one of us is different, and so we will experience moon phases differently. You can use the moon’s phase shifts as a guide for planning your goals – which will also help you manifest the best outcomes.
WHAT IS A MOON CALENDAR?
The Moon calendar is one of the oldest calendars that has been used to improve wellbeing.
Every single day has a different energy, sometimes, it shifts to a completely different vibe in a matter of hours. You know it best!
For example, if the phase of the moon changes throughout the night, you might find yourself awake for hours on end. On the other hand, if that happens in the afternoon, sleep might miss you completely the entire night.
Although, sometimes you sleep like a baby and wake up fully refreshed, ready to jump into a new day. You might not have thought about it before, but it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the moon phases, and create small notes on how they affect you throughout the month.
One moon cycle takes 29,5 days and is counted from the first day of a new moon, to the next first day of the new moon. The moon cycle is then complete. During this cycle, the moon changes into 8 main phases:
