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

A source of beliefs since the dawn of time, the Moon has a double face, benefic or worrying. This star very close to us also influences our loves and our emotions. Find out how!

Shakespeare said of the Moon that she is "the sovereign mistress of melancholy". Giving its name to Monday and governing the sign of Cancer (June 22 – July 22), this star fascinates. New Moon, Full Moon, quarters… If it takes 28 days to wax and wane to go from one New Moon to another, it also sets the rhythm for the 4 seasons and governs our moods like the growth of plants. Hence its connection to the Water element, the element of emotions. But no matter how much men explore and study it, it still contains many mysteries... Even if its influence on the Earth and earthlings is now scientifically proven.

Selene and Hecate: the meaning of the Moon in Greek mythology

If the Sun, with its blinding light, forces us to lower our eyes, the Moon captures our gaze until it plunges us into its dreamlike universe. Several studies have revealed that certain professional categories believe that the moon exerts an influence on our behavior. This influence can be more or less beneficial, with two critical periods: the New Moon and the Full Moon. Doctors, psychiatrists and police officers claim to be more often confronted with difficult cases on Full Moon evenings. Arguments to be taken conditionally, because nothing has really been demonstrated. The only certainty is that this nocturnal star ensures the stability of the earth's rotation. Moreover, in astrology, the Moon and the Sun oppose each other. The two stars have opposite meanings.

The effects of the Moon

But to truly understand the effects of the Moon, we must first distinguish its different faces. If we know its cycle punctuated by its four phases - rising quarter, descending quarter, New Moon or Full Moon, it keeps a part of secret. She is also nicknamed the Triple Goddess. These faces are found in mythology through two Greek goddesses: Selene and Hecate. These two women, with whom the Moon is associated, are total opposites. Thus, Selene is synonymous with benevolence and represents devotion, tenderness and motherhood. Conversely, Hecate is often portrayed as manipulative and seductive. This divide is at the heart of the Moon’s influence. This star, capable of dominating instincts and feelings, governs our emotions in many ways.

Soulmates: Their Role in Our Lives

There are an infinity of souls that we will meet during our lives. While some come to teach us something new, others come to share our joys. While some only last a few months or years, others last a lifetime.

Why do soulmates come into our lives

Soulmates come into our lives in three ways: for a reason, for a season and for a lifetime.

It's important to know this distinction because once you know why a soul mate came into your life, you can know what to expect from this connection. Too often we find couples, who are still clinging to the dead flower of a relationship that was once blooming, but has reached the end of its season. So, take a closer look at this:

For a reason

When you find a soul mate for a reason, it's usually to fill a need that has been expressed in your life. This can be indicative, assistance in difficult times, support, deep conversations or simply being there for you physically, emotionally or spiritually. This encounter can last a moment or a lifetime, depending on the type of soul relationship.

For a season

Then there is the soul mate for a season, the people who come into our lives only momentarily. These people can serve as catalysts for sharing, growing, and learning, or they can show up at a time when we need to overcome our fears of vulnerability, or when we need someone to challenge our belief system, or even when we need to discover a passion we didn't know we had. Whatever the reason, these kindred spirits are only seasonal and leave you once their gift has been passed on.

For all the life

Lifelong relationships are primarily twin flame connections. They teach us lessons that are so deep, so complex that they require a lifetime to deeply assimilate the teachings.

In lifelong connections, one person's strengths are used to strengthen the other, and the harmony between the two is so peaceful and flows so well that it often lasts a lifetime. These relationships are so rare and very precious, that we should feel immensely happy if we encounter them during our lives.
