The Moon and its phases
The fastest star in our Solar System, the Moon takes about 28 days to make one complete revolution around the Earth. Because it is so close, it has a great influence on us and the planet. Its four phases can act as a GPS to guide us. No wonder the tides are directly affected by its phases, and we are all connected by this sea of energy.
Throughout its course it can appear in various forms, representing its phases: at one moment it is full and full, and at another moment it simply disappears from the sky without a trace.
The phases of the Moon last approximately seven days and, as it progresses in its cycle, its aspect also changes. This happens because of its position in relation to the Sun and the Earth. New, Crescent, Full, or Waning, each one symbolizes a different energy that influences our rhythm of life.
How does the New Moon affect us?
The New Moon happens when the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction, that is, when the two rise together in the east and the dark side of the Moon is facing the Earth. The first lunar phase, this is the time when the satellite is less visible in the sky and its energy favors beginnings, discoveries, new things.
It is a phase of action, the moment to plant new seeds. Although it is no guarantee of success, everything that is started during this period has great chances of generating good results, as long as we do our part.
At the New Moon we find the enthusiasm and creative force to set our projects in motion. We align our intentions, activate our desires, and undertake the necessary efforts to make them come true.
