The Lunar Cycle
The eight phases of the Moon
The moon phase you were born under holds significant meaning: it can influence your personality and relationships and indicate predominant life themes. Like how the moon affects the tides (and our sleeping patterns) the moon is intertwined with our energy. Understanding your natal moon phase and your moon phase birthday can be a powerful gateway to deeper self-acceptance. Your moon sign in astrology reveals detailed insights into how you process emotions and instincts. Likewise, the moon phase in the sky the moment you were born also plays a part in your self-expression. Knowing your lunar personality type can deepen your self-awareness, encourage you to lean into your strengths, and release unhealthy patterns that aren't serving you. The eight phases are:
- New Moon - new beginnings
- Waxing Crescent - the call to action
- First Quarter - overcoming obstacles and challenges
- Waxing Gibbous - overcoming obstacles and challenges
- Full Moon - manifestation and complete illumination
- Waning Gibbous - gratitude and giving back
- Last Quarter - releasing and letting go
- Waning Crescent - completion, rest, and solitude
