Have you ever stopped and wondered whether or not the moon phases affect us? After all it does affect the tides, the changing of the seasons and is important in stabilizing the axis of the earth’s rotation.
How Do Moon Phases Affect Us?
This new series has been on my mind for awhile now and I am very excited to share it with you! It will help shed some light on the moon’s phases and how it affects us physically and emotionally. I have been studying the moon phases for a couple of years now and love harnessing the power of the different phases for personal growth. This will be the first of an 8 series post going over a new phase of the moon and how these moon phases affect us.
How the New Moon Phase affects us
When the sun and the moon are on the same side of earth the moon is in the “New Moon” phase. During this phase the moon is invisible because the side of the moon we are seeing is not being illuminated by the sun. The New Moon is also called the Seed Moon. It is a time of sprouting and new beginnings. The moon phases can affect our mind, body and emotions in the following ways:
- Body– We tend to sleep less during the new moon phase and rise early. Our appetite tends to increase and we tend to experience spurts of energy.
- Mind– This is a time we usually experience sudden insights and develop new ideas. It is a great time to be creative and participate in writing, painting or anything else that allows the mind to be inspired.
- Emotions– During this time it is common to feel shy and experience sensitive feelings. It is a good time to stay away from crowds and to keep the focus on the ourselves.
The new moon brings about a time of calmness and balance, while also bringing energy and acceptance that anything can be accomplished. I use this time to set seeds of intentions for the following moon cycle and love watching what manifests throughout the month. I enjoy sharing the knowledge I have learned with others so they can have a better understanding of how the moon phases affect us and how to take advantage of it’s power!
