🌙 A Story to Begin With
Long ago, sailors guided their ships by the phases of the Moon. They knew the tides rose and fell in rhythm with her light. What they didn’t always speak of was how their own moods shifted with the same rhythm — joy and sorrow, energy and fatigue, all ebbing and flowing like the sea.
✨ The Moon and Our Emotions
The Moon is more than a celestial body; she is the keeper of our inner waters. Just as the tides respond to her pull, so too do our emotions, intuition, and subconscious.
New Moon — a time of beginnings, stillness, planting seeds.
Waxing Moon — growth, energy rising, focus sharpening.
Full Moon — emotions peak, truths come to light.
Waning Moon — release, rest, reflection.
When we align with her rhythm, we learn to move with life instead of against it.
🌌 Why It Matters
So often we judge ourselves for “feeling too much.” Yet the Moon reminds us that emotions are not flaws — they are cycles. Understanding her phases helps us meet ourselves with compassion.
Feeling tired during the waning Moon? Rest.
Overflowing with energy at the waxing Moon? Create.
Feeling sensitive at the Full Moon? Reflect and release.
🌠 A Simple Practice
This week, notice the Moon each night.
Write one sentence about how you feel.
At the end of the cycle, look back. See how her light reflected your inner tides.
💫 Closing Thought
The Moon whispers not with words, but with light. When we listen, we learn that our emotions are not random storms — they are sacred waves, guiding us back to ourselves.
