How does the Moon Affect Us?

The moon’s beauty has been a muse to every artist no matter which art form they belonged to. From a spiritual seeker to a sage, everyone has or wants to study the moon and its implications on us. Hence, many religions in the world worship the Moon as one of the Gods.

All these make one wonder, why is a satellite revolving around the earth so important? I mean something which is revolving around us, can’t be that important to us right? Wrong. The moon while being Earth’s satellite and influencing the tides in the ocean, also has a direct effect on all of our lives.

From our body cycles to our moods, the moon affects most aspects of our lives and a little more than we know. In this blog, we discuss how the moon affects us and how we can use it to our advantage. 

Moon Affect On Our Bodies –

Most women experience that their monthly cycles are in sync with the new moon cycle, with a 4-5 day difference, except women with hormonal imbalance. In fact in ancient times, all women who slept in big groups ended up ovulating during the full moon and menstruating during the new moon.

Besides the monthly cycle, a lot of men and women experience either bloating during the Waxing Gibbous (new moon to full moon) and the same would get normalized during the Waning Gibbous (full moon to new moon)

Besides these, a lot of people feel like they are high on energy during the Waxing Gibbous and feel low or demotivated during the rest of 15 days.

Moon Affect On Our Minds

Several people experience mood swings (men and women alike), aggressive behavior, sudden urge to remain quiet, a sudden rush of happiness, etc during the full moon or new moon, and while there has been no evidential backing of modern science to it. However, the fact that the moon can affect the tides in our oceans despite being so far away, says a little since all of our bodies are 70% water.

Another interesting thing is the human emotions are symbolized by the water symbol considering how fluid and free-flowing they are. Hence, here, the correlation makes sense.

Now the Advantage Bit –

So how do we use the Moon’s cycle of Waxing and Waning to our advantage? Simple, get rid of the things you don’t like during the Waning, and acquire the things you want during Waxing. For instance, if you want to earn more money, set the intention of being financially successful during the new moon, and see your finances getting better during the next 15 days.

On the other hand, if you want to get rid of a particular quality, like over-thinking, set an intention to let it go during the full moon and see it disappear in the next 15 days.

We hope this article helped you in understanding the moon’s effects on us and how we can use the situation to our benefit.
