The moon has always brought a sense of mystery and power with it, in various traditions. It’s considered Yin in Chinese Medicine, and in Hawaii, there is a goddess called Hina, that derives from the power of the moon, as well as Selene in the Greek myths. I, myself, was born on a Sunday under a full moon, so it has naturally intrigued me. Add therethrough Astrology and folklore.

To use the moon as a measure for your life, is to create more harmony and balance with nature, by using its natural phases of waxing and waning to enable more flow for you. If you’re a woman without contraception, you can compare your own cycle with the moon’s. And, for both men and women, the moon phases can serve as inspiration and an extra boost to working with projects.

For example, right now we have a New moon. This time, is considered a good time for new beginnings, whether relationships or projects, or simply to set your seeds in the ground. The growing into half moon, is when you put in your work, and then controlling and correcting it, when it’s growing into full, when it should be completed.

Start by comparing your projects to the moon’s phases, and see if there is any difference in how it feels working with them. Use it to your advantage!
