2018 Moon Cycles

(December 2017 – June 2018)

Description:

The Moon’s 28/29 day cycle is one of nature’s shorter passages to observe. She is known not only to be alluring and mysterious but also to affect i.e. life forms, our emotions and the tides of the sea. Living by the Moon’s phases brings richness to our lives and we are consequently more attuned to nature. Witness these cycles’ and your own rhythm…

Her passage – New Moon, Full Moon to New Moon:

New Moon: (beginning of an extroverted phase) new beginnings, setting intentions or projects and beginnings. She then waxes for approximately 14 days. During this period we work towards a point of  Full Moon: completion of initiating phase, fulfillment, highlight, peak of this energy and a point from where to reflect and observe momentarily. She then starts waning (beginning of an introverted expression of the energy). Rounding up, completing and finishing off towards the point of the next New Moon which is in essence the end of the previous and the beginning of a new cycle.
