The Moon’s gravity is strong enough to pull on Earth’s oceans, creating high and low tides. This gravitational relationship shows us that the Moon doesn’t just float idly in the sky — it actively shapes life on Earth. Since the human body is made of about 60% water, some researchers suggest that the Moon’s cycles may subtly influence our own biological rhythms. Click the book Link to the left for purchase options
Studies show that sleep patterns, fertility cycles, and even certain animal behaviors follow lunar rhythms. For example, many species use the full moon to trigger mating or migration. Humans may not notice such strong effects, but shifts in energy, focus, and mood are often reported around the full and new moons.
While mainstream science acknowledges the Moon’s tidal pull, it debates whether lunar phases directly affect human emotions and actions. However, across cultures and centuries, the Moon has been a symbol of renewal, mystery, and transformation. Whether scientifically measurable or not, aligning with lunar cycles can provide a sense of order, mindfulness, and intentional living.
The dark sky of the new moon symbolizes beginnings. It’s the best time to set intentions, start new projects, and plant the seeds of change.
As the Moon grows, so does your momentum. Use this phase for brainstorming, organizing, and laying foundations.
This is the “decision-making” phase. Challenges may appear, but they’re opportunities to push through obstacles with courage.

Fine-tune projects, adjust strategies, and prepare for upcoming breakthroughs.
The Moon is at its brightest — symbolizing illumination and completion. It’s a powerful time for celebrations, social gatherings, and evaluating progress.
After the peak, energy shifts toward gratitude. Reflect, share wisdom, and express appreciation.
A phase for letting go of what no longer serves you. Perfect for decluttering, breaking bad habits, or ending toxic cycles.
The cycle nears completion. Rest, recover, and prepare your mind and body for the next new moon.
