Why you should def be working with the lunar cycle

There are cycles literally everywhere. In our bodies, in our planet, and in the stars. We know and can feel this on a deep inner level, but the capitalist structures that exist in society teach us to tune them out, so we can make an attempt at being productive and “on” 100% of the time.

Spoiler alert, it’s not fucking possible. It’s major burnout, adrenal fatigue, exhaustion, anxiety, depression, and/or hopelessness (and possibly many other outcomes) waiting to happen.

We’re not designed to be on all the time. We’re meant to have go periods. We’re meant to have quiet periods. We’re meant to have social time and alone time. We’re meant to feel lit up and excited sometimes, but sleepy and relaxed others.

And even if you recognize this, it’s easy to get caught up in the feeling that all of those cycles happen in a day or a week and that’s it. Like, oh i’m supposed to get tired at night, but then I should be fucking ON all day. Or, I should be ON Monday to Friday and only rest on the weekends (I call bullshit on this one for so many of us, and I’m actually working towards setting up the structures and support I need to only work 3 days a week, but more on that later).

But actually, the astrology shows us we can have months that are quieter. Months that are more social and engaged. The Wheel of the Year shows us we have seasonal shifts in our energy. And the moon teaches us that week to week, or bodies will feel different, and that’s totally ok.

I fucking love working with the moon in particular, because she gives us an incredible and easy visual cue to check in with ourselves and how we're feeling, so we can make better informed decisions about how we plan our days, our self-care, and our business tasks.

Because real talk, when you learn how to use the moon and her magic, you’ll know when to schedule things like your client calls, social time, workshops, extra self-care, (or if you’re like me, scheduled cry time) planning time, and more.

The moon was 10000% my intro to astrology and magic, and having a constant reminder in the sky to let me know how I should be focusing and how I should be caring for myself is an absolute magical game-changer.

Wanna learn how to use the lunar cycle to work with the flow of astrological energy, instead of against it? AKA, work and live with more ease?
