The moon has a huge influence on our daily life, more than most people realize. You can see it in the tides of the ocean and sea, but also in human life. The moon’s energy is the strongest during the new moon and full moon phase, that’s why there are a lot of people who sleep restless during the full moon phase. Her explosive energy results in brought up emotions and because of that, it can be hard to fall asleep, you can feel restless or have intense dreams. If you would like to sleep better during the full moon phase, then try to use your energy during the day and don’t go to bed too late. It seems that the full moon also affects other things in nature, seeds grow more easily, in plants the sap flow seems to accelerate and animals can become restless.
The energy of the moon can be divided between Yin and Yang, Yin stands for relaxation, intuition, self-examination and withdrawal. Strength, expression and action / activity belong to the Yang energy.
Especially for women the moon has extra influence, namely on the menstrual cycle. The Latin word mēnsis is the foundation of the word menstrual cycle, month and moon, there is a cohesion between the moon cycle and the menstrual cycle. Depending on the duration of the menstrual cycle of a woman, it can be that ovulation always is around the full moon and the period starts with the new moon. This is possible with a menstrual cycle of 28 days which is the same length as the moon cycle. As far as I know there is no scientific prove but sometimes a peak is seen in births around the full moon and new moon phase.
