LUNAR PHASES

The moon acts as a guiding light within the night sky and humans have used it to orient themselves within time and space since the dawn of our existence. However, our connection to the moon goes beyond practicality. Looking up at the moon evokes a sense of comfort, and its beauty is inspirational. As much as our planet has changed, for better or for worse, the moon remains consistent with its cycles. This sense of stability offers us wisdom, and each period of the lunar cycle represents a different stage of growth. I was inspired to write this post after reading a fascinating article that is titled, “Effects of different phases of the lunar month on humans.” The Author, Ujjwal Chakraborty, explored the ways in which the lunar cycle exerts influence upon human psychology and physiology. Chakraborty states, “The altered autonomic neural activity and cardiovascular activity during different lunar phases is probably one of the fundamental causes of the changes of human physiology.”(2014) The autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate, digestion, respiration, blood pressure, and sexual arousal. Any changes that occurs within the autonomic nervous system is going to affect human behavior. To see a spiritual phenomenon be explained through scientific research is incredibly thought provoking; this leads me to believe that the spiritual meanings attached to each lunar phase must hold a certain amount of truth to them. If anyone is interested, the article can be found here. Chakraborty has a few other articles dedicated to lunar research that are also quite compelling. If this information intrigues you, I’d recommend looking into “The Transylvania Effect.”

I. Lunar Phase Personalities

Click here to calculate the lunar phase you were born under.

✰ New Moon - Individuals born under this phase tend to be psychic and are gifted in their ability to acknowledge the unseen. They represent new beginnings and trust their inner instincts. This can make them rather impulsive at times. New moon babies seek out adventure and are dedicated to the process of learning. They want to experience all that life has to offer them and are not afraid to dream big. This is the only phase of the moon that is absent of light, and because of this new moon babies naturally stand out from the rest. They also make for efficient leaders because their emotions and ego are in alignment. However, they’re not the types to seek attention and would prefer to work behind the scenes. Their introverted qualities and reserved nature spark a lot of intrigue. People born under this phase can find potential within any endeavor and always have a fresh perspective to offer up. Learning how to embrace the unknown is a major life lesson for these types.

✰ Waxing Crescent - These types can appear timid, but once you get to know them they are incredibly lively individuals who are full of curiosity. They prefer to stick to the things that they know and might struggle with accepting change. People born under a waxing crescent moon might get stuck within the past at times. Being courageous is something they struggle with. However, they still feel a desire to go out and explore, but they will approach these adventures with a practical mindset. Waxing crescent babies are attached to their comfort zone and are good at maintaining this even when chasing after new experiences. They are also good at finding the right people to associate with. Security is everything to these types, and they prefer to build deep relationships with people who will be in their life for a very long time. I’ve noticed that these individuals might feel more awkward than they come across. They are perfectionist and struggle with self criticism, they might get stuck within their own head during social exchanges.

✰ First Quarter - There are not many individuals born under a first quarter moon, which makes these types out to be rather unique. These people are the “main characters,” and they know it. They are not afraid to take charge of their own lives and are highly ambitious. Individuals born under this phase are not dependent upon admiration or attention. The only person they’re looking to impress is themselves. First quarter babies embrace challenges. The more challenges a situation throws at them, the more likely they are to succeed. The type of person who never backs down, they love putting their skills and talents to the test. Someone looking for a solution is going to be drawn to an individual born under a first quarter moon. Their strong personalities invoke action within other people and they serve as a source of inspiration. These individuals become unstoppable once they develop patience and learn how to wait.

✰ Waxing Gibbous - A sense of maturity is immediately evident within these individuals. They are natural caretakers and people often seek them out to be nurtured. Waxing gibbous babies have a calm presence that elicits a sense of peace within others. These types maneuver social situations with grace and making friends comes easy to them. They inspire other people to be better, and some might try to emulate them. Other people notice their potential and can see what they’re capable of achieving, but individuals born under this phase struggle to see it within themselves. They might feel life they somehow always fall short or will tell themselves that they are not “enough.” This is the opposite of how people are perceiving them. They must learn how to care for themselves in the same way they care for other people. Developing a deep sense of self love is vital for waxing gibbous babies.

✰ Full Moon - Individuals born under this phase are filled to the brim with energy. They might come across as more aggressive than they intend to be. Learning how to gain control over their emotions is a major life lesson for these types. Full moon babies might feel as though they are being pulled in two opposite directions. Their ego and emotions are not in alignment, they feel stuck between passion and logic. Sometimes they will chase after their desires even if that's not what's actually best for them. They can see themselves going in many different directions and it can be hard for them to choose just one. This indecisive behavior frustrates other people, especially those who depend on them. These individuals will find more success once they develop a sense of consistency within their lives. Their sense of creativity is deserving of focus and should not be overlooked. As much as their spontaneous nature might frustrate people, they also bring with them a sense of excitement and this is greatly appreciated.

✰ Waning Gibbous - People born under this phase are often sought after for their wisdom and ability to teach. These old souls are great at communicating their thoughts and learning comes easy to them. It is unlikely that they will have to be taught the same lesson twice, they are not the types to make the same mistakes over and over again. However, being judgmental of others may be a struggle. These individuals need to understand that not everyone is going to learn as quickly as they do. They might become frustrated watching their friends running into the same issues over and over again and will offer up unsolicited advice. It would be best to let people come to them, people will ask for help if they need it. These types tend to place themselves within positions of authority and might struggle with their listening skills. They’re often caught lecturing people when really they should be listening.

✰ Third Quarter - These types are sentimental individuals who are capable of finding deep meaning within everyday life. They hold an appreciation for the little things and show gratitude for what they have. Third quarter babies become easily attached, it can be hard for them to move on from the past. They take things slowly and aren’t likely to be caught up within a rush. Their loyalty is often taken for granted, as well as their kindness. They are commonly found within their own little world. Nostalgia maintains a strong hold upon these types. However, this connection to the past can create unpleasantries within their present life. They may be quick to forgive, but that doesn't mean they’re over it. Sometimes this can be unfair, third quarter babies need to learn how to let go of the past when it's for the best.

✰ Waning Crescent - The ultimate day dreamers. Waning crescent babies have an extremely active imagination and are highly creative. They often have visions of what's to come and very little takes them by surprise. People are drawn to their deep insight and are attracted to their unconventional personalities. These types have a mystical presence, it seems as if they are from another world. Their opinions are uniquely theirs, which can sometimes lead to them being outcasted. However, they thrive when alone and oftentimes complete their best creative work during these moments. Throughout life, they remain true to themselves and are not afraid to embrace their eccentric qualities. They have lots of unconventional wisdom to offer. Many of these types are psychic and are in touch with the spiritual realm, but don’t quite realize this. Learning to embrace and trust their intuition is a big lesson for these types.

II. Living in Alignment with the Lunar Cycle

✰ New Moon - Plant your seeds. This is a time to set new intentions and begin new projects. Take it easy by planning a relaxing night in so you can get in touch with yourself. Forget about the past so you can focus on what's best for the present moment. Journal about your hopes and dreams and think about the steps you can take within the next week to get closer to your desires. Burn a white candle, and incorporate the smell of tangerine, lemon, and jasmine into your routine.

✰ Waxing Crescent Moon - This is the time to be productive. Make sure to partake in healthy habits, give yourself an extra hour of sleep by going to bed early. Continue to build upon the goals you set for yourself during the new moon. Practice meditation to remain focused within daily life. Eat a meal that would be beneficial for your health. Burn a green candle and incorporate the smell of bergamot, cedarwood, and ginger into your routine.

✰ First Quarter Moon - Take time to focus on what's working for you and what isn’t. What tweeks need to be made within your daily routines and habits? Try to complete any tasks you’ve been putting off under this lunar phase. Go for a walk and listen to music that energizes you. Burn a red candle and incorporate the smell of patchouli, lemon and ylang ylang into your routine.

✰ Waxing Gibbous Moon - Practice patience and journal about the times in your life in which you persevered. Focus on the progress you’ve made thus far and show gratitude for what you have. Try to complete whatever preparations are needed for the next few days so they will run more smoothly. Burn a yellow candle and incorporate the smell of rose or juniper into your routine.

✰ Full Moon - Celebrate all the work you’ve completed by doing activities that bring you happiness. Have a fun night out with friends, take yourself out to your favorite restaurant. This would be a good time to focus on socialization. Make an effort to show your friends and family some love. Burn a pink candle and incorporate the smell of sandalwood, cardamom and cinnamon into your routine.

✰ Waning Gibbous Moon - Take time to reflect on the lessons you’ve learned within the past couple weeks. This would be a great time to declutter your space. Make an effort to let go of any disappointment or minor inconveniences that have been bothering you. Be kind to yourself and journal about the opportunities certain failures have brought you. Burn a light blue candle and incorporate the smell of lavender and tea tree into your routine.

✰ Last Quarter Moon - Remove yourself from your burdens by engaging your mind with relaxing activities. This would be a good time to sit within nature. Read a book, watch one of your favorite tv shows or movies. Journal about recent frustrations so you can get them off your chest. Practice forgiveness for yourself and for others. Burn an indigo candle and incorporate the smell of peppermint and eucalyptus into your routine.

✰ Waning Crescent Moon - Prepare yourself a comfort meal and draw a hot bath. Stretch your body and practice breathing exercises. Give yourself a massage or ask someone else to give you one. Focus on what you are drawn to as well as the desires that are developed while in a state of relaxation, try to write them down. Burn a purple candle and incorporate the smell of frankincense, sage, and lavender.

Moon phases & personality

Photo creds: @minimalist_acount ~ Pinterest; me; @jackiedibs ~ Pinterest

There’s a total of 7 main phases the moon goes through before starting a new cycle to repeat it all over again.

Each phase has it’s own characteristics that can be relevant to the person being born under the phase.

New Moon

Soul searching throughout whole life, misunderstood/ hard to understand, awareness for surroundings and strong mental psyche.

That can also mean they are creative and spontaneous.

Child- like behavior in a way in other’s eyes. Everything new.

To reach your full potential you need to balance out your bursts of energy for it to last evenly and for it to not run out so fast so it can result in being tired overall and unmotivated.

Waxing Crescent

Positivity, adventure, taking action and working towards goals, motivated & curious.

Leaning towards on the ‘self- care’ personality and outlook.

To develop it you need to step out of your comfort zone and make yourself uncomfortable from time- to time in order to grow as a person.

First Quarter

Mental strength, competent, restless, can be work oriented - restless.

Impatience, takes on risks, passionate, inquisitive and communicative.

The protagonist of your own life.

If you can develop the art of patience to complement your strong personality, you will reach your full potential.

Waxing Gibbous

Caretaker, perfectionist philosophical, successful relationships, motivated & calming.

You need to surround yourself with people who truly care for and love you. There’s a need to develop a sense of intuition/ knowledge to spot people trying to overly dominate or use you.

Can be an amazing mentor/ guide for others.

Full Moon

Extremes, aggression, thinking with head instead of heart, desires

(Astrological natal sun and moon are in a conflict.)

To reach your full potential you need to realize you have even control over your actions and thoughts. Working out your power and abilities will lead you to success.

Waning Crescent

Posessions, talents, knowledge, imagination, psyche, dreams.

Since the phase is the one that’s gone through all it has gathered a lot of wisdom and learned & gathered a lot.

There can be a connection with the spiritual side even if it’s not realized.

There can be isolation involved due to connection with spirituality and intuition even observing so in order to reach your highest potential you need to share your thoughts and even maybe mentor those in need. Trying to get out there and reducing isolation can be beneficial.

Waning Gibbous

Wise, communication, spirituality, reflections, endings, seeking for higher knowledge and understanding. The mentor.

To become the best version of yourself you need to learn to be as understanding of others. Let others add their ideas and opinions too.

Third Quarter

Holding onto the past, attachment, kindness, loyalty, absentmindedness.

People may describe you as too in the clouds or inside your own world.

In order to grow obviously you need to learn to let go of the past and let yourself create the new memories instead of repeating the same ones like a broken record.

!! The phases are not forcefully trying to put you in a box or label. There can be aspects of it that can be relevant, but not for someone to base their whole personality or existence off of it or follow it at all cost.

Please do not copy, rewrite, repost, steal and etc any of my work. If wanted to use parts of it then contact the author and always give credits.

Love, Tsunami

🌑 New Moon - Cosmic Beginnings 🌑

Ah, the mysterious new moon, when the sky is cloaked in darkness. This phase symbolizes new beginnings and fresh starts. Just as the moon begins its waxing journey, we too can embark on new ventures, set intentions, and manifest our dreams. Use this time to reflect, meditate, and set clear intentions for the lunar cycle ahead. Allow the energy of the new moon to ignite your inner potential and guide you towards cosmic beginnings.

🌓 Waxing Moon - Growth and Progress 🌓

As the moon transitions from new to full, it begins its waxing phase, symbolizing growth and progress. This is the time to take action, pursue your goals, and make strides towards personal development. Harness the energy of the waxing moon to fuel your ambitions and watch your dreams blossom. Let its gentle glow inspire you to step out of your comfort zone and embrace the exciting journey of self-growth.

🌕 Full Moon - Illuminating Intensity 🌕

When the moon reaches its full glory, it illuminates the night sky and stirs our emotions. Full moons are known to heighten our sensitivity, magnify our desires, and intensify our energy levels. This is the time when our emotions can reach their peak, leading to vivid dreams, restlessness, and a sense of heightened intuition. Embrace the illuminating intensity of the full moon and let it guide you through your innermost desires.

🌗 Waning Moon - Release and Let Go 🌗

As the moon transitions from full to new, it enters its waning phase, which encourages us to release and let go. Just as the moon diminishes in size, we too can shed what no longer serves us. Use this phase to declutter your mind, body, and soul. Release negative emotions, bad habits, and any stagnant energy holding you back. Allow the waning moon to guide you towards healing, rejuvenation, and the freedom to start anew.

🌙 Lunar Eclipses - Cosmic Transformations 🌙

Lunar eclipses are powerful celestial events that bring about profound transformations in our lives. They act as portals of change, encouraging us to release old patterns and embrace new possibilities. The energy during a lunar eclipse can be intense, bringing buried emotions to the surface. Embrace this cosmic energy and let it guide you towards self-discovery, empowerment, and profound personal growth.

Rerun

DWC Feb 2024 Day 1: Casualty/Flirt

A year ago, if anyone had asked Terry Lias-Ambroce if he'd ever set foot on a battlefield again, he'd have burst out laughing, and then thrown them out of his house. If they'd asked him to do it willingly, he'd have given them a five-second head start before he turned the rooftop turrets back on. In both instances, he'd also have considered throwing them into the moose pen after spritzing them with doe-in-heat urine.*

He was not expecting anyone to do it at all, let alone the Grand Army of The Alliance. After everything, they had taken the wisest course of action and left him and his family the fuck alone. Outside of the monthly pension payments, they didn't even exist to him anymore. The only military groups he spoke with for the last handful of years, he did so through Dolraan, and that was only ever to discuss the progress on the war-moose breeding program.

Until it was time to move on Gilneas.

That was, possibly, the only thing that could've gotten Terry to put down his rifle after he'd spotted blue and gold on his doorstep. He was fully prepared to go to prison rather than start the shitshow all over again for a third time, but thankfully, he didn't have to. The messenger was smart, and had held up the scroll bearing the Gilnean seal so it was the first thing he saw, and he'd been willing to give him at least a few seconds to explain.

It took almost an hour to convince him that it wasn't another ploy to trap him in service for the rest of his life this time. Or to separate him from his family so somebody could shank him somewhere remote. Or anything else. There were a lot of possibilities. Even with Diggs and Smits firmly behind bars--for all intents and purposes, the two of them also didn't exist, but it wasn't just to Terry in their case--he knew he'd still had plenty of enemies. Just because you won didn't mean the losers went away.

It was a voluntary reactivation, to be ended whenever he chose, and with the freedoms afforded every other standard soldier of his rank. He was a sergeant now, not a conscript, and he had standing he still didn't know what to do with some days. Running the dregs of the Scarlet Crusade out of his birthplace? Taking back the country he'd spent over a decade telling people wasn't dead?

That, he could gladly do.

The campaign was fairly short, and fairly brutal, but Terry expected that. He was far from the only one in the company who had zero patience or tolerance left for those who would keep him from his home, and he was giving the orders to a lot of them. That part was surreal, but it seemed to work out well enough. There were casualties under his command, but no fatalities. In more than one instance, he saw to it personally that no one died under his watch. A couple guys were going to come home a few pounds lighter, but at least they were coming home.

He was coming home.

After the fighting had largely died down and all that remained were various skirmishes and prods at the borders from other interested enemies--other kingdoms, mostly, but he did encounter more than one cluster of enterprising Forsaken that deeply regretted making that choice once he found them--Terry was given pause.

When he thought of the word 'home,' for the longest time, he thought of a farmhouse overlooking the rocky headland cliffs; the fenceline of the ranch around it; dodging cow shit every time he went out for a walk. Now, when he thought of the word 'home'...there was a second image. The house that had started as a cabin and he'd personally expanded well beyond the confines of the term, surrounded by the gloomy, spindly trees of Duskwood; his veritable herd of children and his smirking wife standing in the middle of the chaos, eyes on him; the orchard and distillery that they'd set up largely as an excuse to give Darnassian refugees a place to stay.

He was coming home. But home had gotten a touch complicated, of a sudden.

And then there was the small matter of a letter bearing the seal of the newly-crowned Queen Greymane.

God dammit. I haven't even done anything yet.

( @daily-writing-challenge @shedwyn @sirdolraan )

*yes I know a female moose is a cow not a doe but it seemed easier to follow if I used 'doe' in this instance
