Cycle of the Moon: how does it influence us? (II)

 this is a follow-up of a previous post

The Moon, mistress of our emotions

Synonymous with duality, the Moon thrives on contradictions. Without doubt, this is the reason why it affects our temperament. After all, isn't human nature constructed according to its paradoxes? Synonymous with transformation and renewal, the Moon induces a notion of movement, like our changes in mood. A symbol of energy and demand, it strengthens memory or, on the contrary, causes a lack of concentration. This star has a particular virtue: that of addressing our total subjectivity, through inspiration, languor, romanticism or nervousness.

Bonus: discover the effects of the Moon on the body, emotions and state of mind of women based on their menstrual cycle thanks to our slideshow.

Love: the Moon at the heart of beliefs

According to the adage, it would be easier to start a conversation with a stranger when night falls, as soon as the Moon appears!
