Everything You Need To Know About Moon Cycles and How They Affect You 


The moon influences all of us, even if we’re not aware of it. Artists, lovers, astrologists, and scientists, all agree that the moon has the power to affect our thoughts and behaviors. Please enjoy this post that includes some fascinating facts about our enchanting Moon and explains how she affects you. 


Spellbinding Facts About Our Beautiful Moon 

• Although from Earth the Moon and Sun seem to be identical in size, they’re not. The Moon is actually 400 times smaller than the Sun but is also 400 times closer to Earth -making them appear to be the same size. In my opinion, it is impossible to believe that is just simply a coincidence. 

• As we all know, the Moon changes shape every night depending on if she is waxing or waning. However, the lesser known fact is that the beautiful, glowing white light we see coming from the Moon is actually light from the Sun being projected from the Moon. 

• Relative to it’s position to the Sun, the Moon gives off a different amount of light. This different amount of light is represented in the 8 phases of our Moon and takes approximately 28 days to cycle through all 8 phases. 

• In astrology, the Moon represents our unconscious mind because she does not have a light of her own. The moon also rules our body, the flow of our blood, and our physiological processes. 

• The Moon is never in retrograde, so with the Moon you always know where you stand. 

• In astrology, events usually occur when the Moon activates particular parts of your chart. 

• Every month we reach our energy peak when there is a Full Moon. 

• The Moon affects all of us in different ways depending upon which Moon phase we were born under.
