Due to the fact that the Moon is in constant motion in its orbit, it is not equally illuminated by the Sun, from time to time moving from one phase to another. With a change in the relative position of the Earth, the Moon and the Sun, the terminator (the boundary between the illuminated and unilluminated parts of the Moon's disk) moves, which causes a change in the outlines of the visible part of the Moon.
Since the Moon is a spherical body, when it is partially illuminated from the side, a “sickle” appears. The illuminated side of the Moon always points towards the Sun, even if it is hidden behind the horizon.
Duration of a full moon phase change(the so-called synodic month) is variable due to the ellipticity of the lunar orbit, and varies from 29.25 to 29.83 Earth solar days. The average synodic month is 29.5305882 days (29 days 12 hours 44 minutes 2.82 seconds).
In phases of the moon close to the new moon(at the beginning of the first quarter and at the end of the last quarter), with a very narrow crescent, the unlit part forms the so-called ashen light of the Moon - the visible glow of a surface not illuminated by direct sunlight of a characteristic ashen color.

The Moon, on its way around the Earth, is illuminated by the Sun; it itself does not glow.

The moon goes through the following phases of illumination:
1. New Moon - a state when the Moon is not visible.
2. A new moon is the first appearance of the Moon in the sky after the new moon in the form of a narrow crescent.
3. The first quarter is the state when half of the Moon is illuminated.
4. Waxing moon.
5. Full moon - a state when the entire Moon is illuminated.
6. Waning moon.
7. The last quarter is the state when half of the Moon is illuminated again.

New Moon and Full Moon- these are the two main critical points lunar cycle. According to statistics, these days lunar month– time of accidents and exacerbation of diseases. At this time, internal processes in human body and mental instability. Any undertaking these days is experiencing a temporary crisis. Folk wisdom warns against taking important decisions in lunar critical days.
New moon- the phase of the Moon at which its ecliptic longitude is the same as that of the Sun. Thus, at this time the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun approximately on the same straight line with them. If they are exactly on the same straight line, then solar eclipse.
The moon is not visible in the night sky during a new moon, since at this time it is very close to the Sun on the celestial sphere and at the same time turned to us on the night side. But sometimes it can be seen against the background of the solar disk (solar eclipse). In addition, some time (usually about two days) after or before the new moon, with a very clear atmosphere, you can still notice the disk of the Moon, illuminated by the reflection from the Earth with weak light (the ashen light of the Moon).
The interval between new moons is on average 29.530589 days (synodic month).
New Moon or conjunction of the Sun and Moon - the beginning of the lunar month. It should not be confused with the beginning of the calendar month. At the beginning of the cycle, the Sun gives the Moon the seeds of the new. These are the days of the symbolic “conception” of the cycle. The moon “gets pregnant” and grows, comes in light. But in the first two and two last days lunar month The moon is not visible, it does not shine. These days are called the days of Hecate, the goddess of darkness, fatality and mystery.
It is believed that there will be strange, inexplicable events in the fate of a person born at this time. Emotionally, these dark days without the Moon are manifested by a person’s deep self-absorption and secret fears. The subconscious awakens and dictates its will. People need psychological support at this time. Possible feelings of loneliness and pessimism. The second day of the lunar month is dangerous because any word is taken on faith and there is a danger of suggestion.
The influence of the new moon on humans.
The New Moon has a hidden or subconscious influence. Children and women become especially capricious, but at the same time they easily obey strict leadership. Drivers' reaction speed decreases. Symptoms of diseases appear weaker, but at the same time vitality weakens.
During this period, everything that the Moon controls is minimally expressed. Emotions, mood, ability to remember, atmosphere in the team, blood pressure - all this goes through a low point on the new moon. Hence arises practical use knowledge about the lunar cycle: if one or another area ruled by the Moon is already in a weakened state, during the new moon there may be a critical decline in activity due to a decrease in the energy content of “lunar” functions throughout earthly nature.
Because the during the new moon, fluid pressure in the body decreases, it can become a difficult period for hypotensive people, people whose blood pressure is already low. Emotional decline can adversely affect people prone to depression.
It is unlikely that during this period one can expect high performance and inspiration from the work team, academic success from the school class, Get well soon sick. During this period, the ability to assimilate information decreases significantly, and inhibition in actions occurs. Errors in calculations and calculations appear more often.
It is during this phase of the Moon, or rather two days before and two days after the New Moon, people notice a serious deviation from their usual character traits and habitual behavior. But not only the psyche is influenced, physical health is also at risk. But still, the emotional side of every person’s life suffers more. Usually this happens in the form of isolation, the person “withdraws into himself.”
It is precisely during the new moon that the so-called impoverishment of the senses occurs, which often leads to divorces and separations. After this, people often regret what they did. Apathy is often observed, the person becomes as indifferent as possible. It even happens that an individual becomes completely insensitive.
Loneliness is especially acute at this time, even if a person in reality is always surrounded by friends, relatives and colleagues. He begins to understand little the world, the ability to adapt to circumstances is greatly reduced.
WITH special attention you have to be driving At the same time, representatives of the fair half of humanity should refrain from driving a car during the new moon, especially during the first few days of the new moon.
The new moon by its nature has a very strong emotional background, and quite negative. These days are difficult for people prone to depression and various mental disorders.
It is also worth abandoning for a while active actions to implement already conceived plans, since they will most likely fail. It is best to engage in planning, or continue a previously started action. Collecting and analyzing the information received will be more beneficial.
The New Moon phase is important because it is then that the formation of mental attitudes, the basic principles of action and existence in the world, in general, occurs.
Men are especially susceptible to the effects of the new moon. It is during this period that they become more aggressive, tense, and nervous. During this phase of the moon, it is better not to contact them with requests or demands. Most likely, your request will not be granted. Doctors say that during the new moon the most a large number of patients with strokes, heart attacks strong half humanity. During this period, men should have minimal physical activity; it is better for them to engage in mental and logical work.
What to do on the New Moon and what not to do.
Do not start new projects, this may cause large unforeseen failures;
- beware of making promises;
- do not make important decisions;
- do not make a final choice and do not accept final obligations;
- do not hire new people, this may cause problems later;
- Avoid the desire to rush into new relationships if you meet new people during the new moon. There is an element of mystery associated with the new moon; later you will learn a lot about this person;
- use the new moon to go with the flow and don't initiate anything new. This is a great time for meditation and yoga, personal “inventory” and working on your image;
- come up with new ideas, create a wish list, write down your dreams and thoughts. Do something inspiring;
- it’s good to fast on this day or arrange a fasting day, in this case you will prevent many diseases, since the body’s readiness for cleansing (releasing toxins) on this day is greatest. Eating can slow down or interrupt this process;
- the first days after the new moon are very favorable for getting rid of bad habits.
New Moon rituals.
To fulfill your wishes
You will need: three bay leaves, a piece of paper and a pen with red ink. On the new moon, write your wish on a piece of paper and say it out loud three times. Fold the leaf in three and put the laurel leaves inside, say the wish again three times. Fold the sheet three more times. Hide the folded sheet of leaves in a dark place. Say your wish three times every morning until it comes true.
When your wish comes true, take out the leaf and burn it without unfolding it, along with the enclosed leaves, and thank the Universe.
To increase profits
Oil nutmeg or olive oil(a drop is enough) lubricate the fingers of your dominant hand and count all the bills that are available.
Second way. Pour water into a glass and leave it on the windowsill overnight. In the morning, wash yourself with moon water and say: “Just as you, month, were thin, so that you become full, so I have every good thing, so that you will be full.” After some time, you will notice that your business is going uphill.
Third way. Take a small round stone and read a new moon spell on it: “The moon is growing, and my income is growing. The moon - pull the water behind you, and send your income to me.” Put this pebble in your wallet. On the next new moon, repeat the spell. No one should see or touch this stone - it will be your personal talisman for money. And the longer you use it, the more often you begin to recite the new moon spell on it (every month, without skipping), the stronger the stone will become as an amulet.
Fourth way. On the new moon, place green and white candles on the table 20cm apart. Associate yourself with a white candle; the green one should represent money and prosperity for you. Light the candles with one match, first white, then green. After some time, extinguish the candles and put them in a secret place. You need to repeat this for 10 days in a row, bringing the candles closer to each other by 2 cm each day. When the candles touch each other, tie them with gold ribbon and store them as a money talisman.
Ritual for money
This ritual can be performed both on the full moon and on the waxing moon (on the New Moon). Take a green silk ribbon about 30cm long. Tie 9 knots on it, sequentially saying to each knot:
The first node begins the magic.
The second node is done.
With the third node, the money comes to me.
With the fourth node, new opportunities are knocking on my door.
With the fifth node, my business is thriving.
The sixth node secures witchcraft.
With the seventh node I was given success.
With the eighth node the income is multiplied.
With the ninth knot, it's all mine now!
Keep the ribbon with you as a talisman.
To bring something new into life
Throw away your old slippers, old underwear and old clothes with the words: “The old goes away, the new comes.” New things in life will not be slow to appear.
Rite of love
You need to visualize a little and imagine yourself with the person you want to be with. Visualize yourself and that person inside the bubble you are blowing and send that bubble out into the Universe. Imagine him flying to the moon to ask the God of Marriage for a blessing. If you can't send a big soap bubble into the sky, then it's not your time, but if you manage to send a lot of big bubbles, be prepared for a pleasant surprise.

Let's say that all your nervous outbursts are caused precisely by the fact that you believe too much in the power of the night star and inspire yourself with inspiration, insomnia, and malaise. But why then do small children, who still know nothing about the movement of all sorts of stars (and especially about the influence of the phases of the moon on earthly events), wake up more often on moonlit nights and cry more than usual on a new moon?
In this light
The phases of the moon especially strongly influence people with a subtle psyche. “The relatives of patients complain,” says psychiatrist Nadezhda Gudkova, “that strictly on the eve of the full moon, my patients deteriorate. That’s why family members keep extra doses of medicine on hand.”
It is possible that medieval legends about werewolves going berserk under the full moon are rooted in completely medical history. Maniacs become aggravated and go hunting. It’s just that the concept of “maniac” did not yet exist, and the strange aggression of seemingly normal (in daylight) people needed to be explained somehow.
In more ancient times, during the era of paganism, not only ominous properties were attributed to the pale luminary, but also quite positive ones: for example, it was believed that the new moon is a time of male activity, and the full moon is most favorable for women. This is probably where the idea originates that fortune telling “for love” is best during this period. Moreover, many still believe that nourishing masks and aromatic oils have the greatest effect during the full moon.
Hair removal and cosmetic cleansing are best done when the moon is waning. If you pluck your hair while new month, then the effect will be short-lived: new villi will increase in growth along with the night luminary. AND sebaceous glands will work more actively, and the pores will clog faster.
You need to cut your hair like this: if you want your hairstyle to retain its shape longer, cut your hair after the full moon. And if you need your hair to grow back faster, then on the waxing moon. If you have planned to radically change your image, then it is best to go to the stylist during the full moon: it’s not so much about your hair, but about the creative abilities of the stylist - they are activated during the full moon phase.
Stylist Irina Baranova admits: “I don’t have a scientific explanation, but, indeed, many clients of the salon make appointments with hairdressers only during the full moon. I didn’t notice how effective it was. I believe that each master has his own biofield: if you cut your hair with one, the hair grows slowly, and with another, it grows quickly.”
Specialists in healthy eating treat the mysterious luminary rationally: “There is a belief that you need to lose weight on the waning moon,” says nutritionist Marina Trifonova. — If this is an additional incentive for you, good. You need to change your lifestyle and diet with firm confidence in success. Just don’t use the lunar phases as an excuse: “I’ll wait until the waning moon, then vacation, then Monday... Oh, the moon is already waxing again.” Try to eat less, exercise and drive healthy image life regardless of the moon, sun and other celestial bodies.”
And the Buddhist monk Konchok Chinla, a specialist at the Naran Tibetan medicine clinic, told us that it is best to go on a diet three days before the full moon or new moon: “You will easily endure dietary restrictions, and the cleansing and weight loss effect will be greater.” However, we were not talking about long-term weight loss programs, but specifically about express diets and cleansing fasting.
Force of gravity
Summer residents still prefer to plant, weed and collect in accordance with lunar cycles. These prejudices (or scientific and practical research) help achieve good harvests. Previously, in the village economy, almost any business was associated with a certain lunar phase.
For example, it was believed that it was better to ferment cabbage during the new month. There is a logic to this: all microorganisms (that is, lactic acid bacteria in in this case) multiply at double the speed, resulting in cabbage fermenting faster. But if it was necessary to “roll up” the product for long-term storage (for the winter), then, on the contrary, they salted it on the waning moon. Then it slowly soured and remained crisp until spring. Yeast dough It rises faster when the moon is waxing - I personally checked it. At the full moon any homework It was categorically not recommended: the result could be unpredictable.
In Russian villages it was not forbidden to go to the bathhouse even every day. But they told fortunes and treated people there only during the full moon.
The swimming season was also opened under the full moon: it was believed that in its cleansing light no fever would stick to the body, even if the water was not warm enough.
Bradford Royal Infirmary found that dogs are more likely to bite people during a full moon. And the police in the British city of Brighton decided to increase patrols on the days of full moons and paydays - this is when the largest number of incidents occur.
“Among all the planets, the Moon has the most noticeable impact on human life and health,” she confirmed to us chief physician Federation of Cosmonautics, wife of the famous cosmonaut Lyudmila Grechko. — Since the time of Ptolemy, writings have documented the dependence of fluids in the body (lymph, blood, etc.) on lunar phases. In its orbit around the Earth, its satellite causes a tidal wave of several meters. Such a powerful attraction has a strong effect on a person, on all living things - both on the physical and energetic levels. If you learn to listen to your body and make your own plans in accordance with the lunar cycle, you can prevent many problems. The growth period is a time of increased biological activity; on a waning luminary, our vitality noticeably decreases. Peak points are the days of the new moon and full moon. The authors of various studies believe that the closer to the full moon, the more feelings, strength and energy in the body turn into excitement and nervousness. This is the time of transition from accumulating strength to actively spending it. At this turning point, unspent energy tears us apart, emotions become uncontrollable. Some people experience insomnia. Be careful during the full moon. Don't let it affect you negatively. Perhaps they will help you the following techniques:
- try to speak slowly, without raising your voice (for self-control, try pausing for 2 seconds every two words);
- go on a diet or just give yourself a fasting day on the eve of the full moon;
- Do a quiet, monotonous activity, such as knitting or embroidery.
These simple exercises will prevent an explosion of emotions and will prevent you from making a mess.”
Cult item
Homeopathic doctor Irina Demidova advises not to look at the moon for too long, as some people experience increased sensitivity to its light: feelings of sadness and even depression may arise. However, the doctor was stingy with recommendations, saying that the full moon is too serious a topic to give general advice to everyone: “Each person must be approached individually, taking into account his personal biorhythms. We can only recommend everyone to be more attentive to themselves during full moons. This is especially important for those who have endocrine problems: it is this area that the luminary affects most.”
Religious people take the moon seriously. Most rituals and practices are in one way or another connected with the lunar phases: Christians link the celebration of their main holiday, Easter, with the full moon after the spring equinox, the Orthodox fasts - Petrov and Great - are also calculated in accordance with the lunar calendar. Buddhist Ekadadasa fasts are counted strictly from new and full moons.
“The full moon certainly affects physical and mental health,” confirmed Konchok Chinla. “It’s not for nothing that in all the faiths of the world all important events took place on the full moon. The resurrection of Jesus Christ, the birth, enlightenment and passage into nirvana of Buddha, the birth and death of the prophet Muhammad. Everything you do on a full moon is multiplied many times over: the orgasm will be the most voluptuous, and smoking and alcohol will cause much more harm than on other days.”
Representatives traditional medicine Usually they are quite unanimous and agree that:
- on the eve of the full moon it is good to start a course of treatment: the result will appear faster and stronger, but remember that side effects drugs will be more pronounced;
- It's better to do it on the waning moon preventive vaccinations: their effect will be delayed in time, but with by-products vaccines will be easier for the body to cope with;
- tests taken during the full moon will be as reliable as possible;
- but it is better to postpone the operations to another day: the surgeon is also a person, in the light of the full moon it is more difficult for him to show composure and concentration;
- The most important health procedures on a full moon are sea bathing or at least salt baths: they relieve lunar nervousness and nourish the skin with minerals more intensely than on any other day. Logically, mud wraps should have the same beneficial effect.

Does the moon affect a person? Some are skeptical about this, others subordinate their lives to the lunar calendar. Who is right?
Remember your school geography lessons, where you were taught that the ebb and flow of the seas and oceans directly depend on the phase of the moon. And a person, as we know, is 80% water, and this means that whether we like it or not, the phases of the moon really have a certain influence on us. It manifests itself most acutely when the Earth's satellite is in the full moon phase.
People have long noticed that during this period emotions are heightened, bursts of joy or despair can surge suddenly, and inexorable statistics show that the highest percentage of suicides occurs at this time, as well as the exacerbation of various chronic diseases and primarily mental. It is not without reason that human fantasy attributes increased activity during the time when the moon is full to all sorts of evil spirits: ghouls, ghouls, werewolves and witches.

Lunar mathematics
The lunar month consists of four phases: new moon, full moon, waxing and waning moon. The first lunar day marks the beginning of the new moon. At 7-8 lunar day falls in the first quarter of the lunar month, the full moon is from the 14th to the 17th lunar day. Third quarter - 22 and 23 lunar days. The fourth quarter is the end of the lunar month.
If you decide to analyze your condition from the point of view of the lunar phases, it is better to purchase a lunar calendar in which all the days are clearly marked.
What to expect on a full moon?
It is unlikely that a vampire will knock on your window on a full moon night asking to be let in. Don't expect this. In addition, not everyone is “given” to feel the influence of the luminary in principle, and for those who have such good fortune, this happens in different ways. But there is still something in common.
First of all, it “suffers” nervous system, especially in people with a delicate psyche. For many, reflexes become aggravated or change, and there is a surge of both positive and negative emotions: fatal doom, desperate joy, inexplicable phobias. Even the most healthy people These days they complain of insomnia.
During the 2018 lunar eclipse, there was almost 100% alignment of the center of the Moon and the center of the Earth's shadow. At the time of the eclipse, the Moon, Earth and Sun were on the same line, while the planet was located between the Sun and the Moon and obscured its natural satellite from sunlight. Photo: IPA RAS
But not only on mental processes And emotional condition may be influenced by the moon. Numerous experiments (known since the time of Hippocrates) prove that during the full moon the metabolic rate in the body decreases sharply. body, it negatively affects the state of the blood, which is explained by the acceleration of biochemical processes. The conclusion is simple: it is better not to schedule operations on these days. Firstly, bleeding occurs more often, which is difficult to stop, and secondly, the healing process will take longer long time. But cleansing the body these days will be as effective as possible.
It is difficult for people with heart disease and hypertension to experience the full moon: the stable functioning of the heart is disrupted, and the amount of fluid in the tissues increases.
The risk of gastrointestinal diseases and poisoning also increases, which is explained by the increased activity of various viruses and microbes. In addition, experts note, medications at this time they are less effective and the risk of side effects increases.

Moon-moon, love-love...
There's another one interesting feature full moon: at this time, the passage of a mature egg through the fallopian tubes and its entry into the uterus accelerates, that is, in those few days when the moon is full, the possibility of conception increases many times over. This state of the body is reinforced by an increased attraction to opposite sex, so be on your guard, those who protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy, and seize these days for those who strive to conceive.
Is it possible to protect yourself from the full moon?
Do not rely on chance and do not be a fatalist, attributing all problems to the luminary; a lot depends on you, your behavior during this period.
It’s better not to drink alcohol at this time: the psyche reacts sharply to everything, and defense mechanisms bodies are falling. Even if you are invited to an important event and cannot help but sip, limit yourself to, for example, a glass of wine.
Spare your psyche and do not additionally burden it with watching horror films, crime news, and for some especially sensitive and emotional natures, even ordinary ones are enough to get stressed. Temporarily give up such dubious pleasure - take care of yourself.
The same can be said about communicating with people you don’t like: if you can’t give it up completely, try to reduce stressful communication to a minimum.

And there is happiness in the full moon
The situation with the 13th 15th is interesting lunar days . The first of them is considered one of the most unfavorable and even life-threatening, but at the same time it is the best day of the month in order to resolve or somehow smooth out family conflicts.
And the 15th, which is said to be the most conflict-ridden and deceptive, promises a speedy recovery to all those who fell ill on this day.
Keep the situation under control and you will be able to benefit from this month's condition. It has been noticed, for example, that these days the best way Those things that require a “special” approach to people succeed. When you need to ask for something, demand something - ask, demand - find the right tone and you will not be refused.
This planet controls both the atmosphere in the team and the mood of the crowd, the subconscious and emotions, habits and reflexes, training and protection.
But the main thing is that she is considered the personification of maternal and feminine. It is believed that using the Moon you can calculate your “dangerous” and “safe” days, plan conception and correct menstrual irregularities.
Women's lunar calendar
Although experts consider a normal menstrual cycle to last from 24 to 36 days, ideally it coincides with the lunar cycle and is 28 days, that is, a lunar month.
Moreover, each phase of the female cycle is in harmony with a certain lunar exposure.
New moon
This time corresponds to the first phase of the menstrual cycle (from the 1st to the 4th day). According to experts, it is during this period that seven out of ten patients in maternity hospitals undergo menstruation.
No wonder!, according to popular belief, it is on new moon you should get rid of everything old, get a haircut and make new acquisitions. Apparently, he also does “spring cleaning” during the new moon.
Waxing Moon and Full Moon
This is the second phase of the cycle: from the 5th to the 14th day. At this time, the egg cell matures. On the full moon, it leaves the follicle, and the moment of ovulation occurs. At this time, the level of the sex hormone estrogen in the female body increases (it is called the beauty hormone), which adds energy, attractiveness, and improves mood.
During ovulation (two days a month), estrogen levels approach their maximum, and the woman becomes especially energetic and sexy. Full moon acts in the same direction - it activates all processes in the body, awakens sexual desire. This is the ideal moment to conceive.
By the way, long before the invention of the condom, women protected themselves by orienting themselves by the moon. It was noticed that in those days when waning moon, the probability of getting pregnant is practically equal to zero, but during the full moon and the period of the waxing moon, the chances of becoming a mother in the near future are very high.
Can you imagine how easy it would be to control birth rates if it were that simple? However, modern scientists confirm the observations of past years. Thus, according to the University of Illinois, fertilization directly depends on the phase of the moon: conception most often occurs on the days of the full moon, and there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of on the new moon.
It was noticed that on those days when the Moon is waning, the probability of getting pregnant is almost zero.
In addition, in ancient times, a connection was discovered between the phase of the Moon at the moment when a woman is born and her ability to conceive. The lunar day on which the woman was born (it can be determined by lunar calendars), indicates the time most favorable for conception (plus or minus two days).
This is the day when the night luminary is in the same phase as at its birth - such a coincidence occurs once a month. The method of Dr. Jonas, a Czech gynecologist, is based on this simple principle, confirmed by many years of research and statistics. It is argued that even conventionally called “infertile women” are capable of conception on a lunar day which coincides with their birthday.
Waning moon
This is the final phase of the menstrual cycle, lasting from the 15th to the 28th day. The time of violent “blooming” (fortunately, not for everyone), premenstrual syndrome. These days, estrogen levels drop, but the amount of other hormones increases female hormone- progesterone, which leads to some apathy, lethargy and drowsiness.
A sharp hormonal surge often causes the notorious PMS, when fatigue suddenly sets in, loss of strength, irritability and tearfulness are observed. Psychologists say that during a waning Moon, unlike a waxing Moon, pressure drops and almost all processes in the body slow down.
The melting Moon has a depressing effect on people, at least statistics show that it is during this period that visits to specialists regarding depression and worsening mental problems become more frequent. If premenstrual syndrome falls on the waning Moon, it has a much more pronounced shape than in any other lunar phase.
Even if a woman has no idea what PMS is, she has every chance to become familiar with its symptoms. Irritability, nervousness, tearfulness and headaches most often visit us at this time.

It turns out that the Moon not only moves “in step” with the menstrual cycle, but is also capable of disrupting it. Basically, danger awaits women with increased intracranial pressure. What does this have to do with monthly cycle and the moon? The most direct thing.
On the full moon intracranial pressure increases because the Moon activates the circulation of fluids in the body (by the way, during the full moon from changes blood pressure hypertensive patients suffer, and on a new moon it’s quite discomfort appear in hypotensive patients). This affects the hypothalamus and, which are the main managers of hormonal processes in the body.
Under the influence of the Moon, the functioning of the ovaries may be disrupted, and menstruation will begin earlier or later than expected, and may be more abundant or painful. It is important to note that the night luminary has such a radical effect only on a weakened organism: chronic infections and accumulated fatigue make a woman vulnerable to cosmic forces. A healthy and happy lady does not care about lunar manipulations.
But it turns out that the Moon can also restore the female cycle. For example, to have your period start on the same day, chronotherapists(biorhythm specialists) - advise carrying out the following experiment.
For a month, you need to sleep in absolute darkness, and in the last 3 days of the menstrual cycle, artificially create the effect of a full moon - to do this, turn on a weak night light next to the bed or a dim light in the hallway, leaving the door to the bedroom ajar. In a few months, critical days will fall at the same time - on the days of the artificial full moon.
Another way to establish a cycle is to be “irradiated” by the Moon. Scientists conducted an experiment: women with different durations menstrual cycles slept under the open sky and direct rays of the night light. And, imagine, after two months their cycles began to equal the lunar cycle.

Everyone knows the term “new moon,” but let’s define for ourselves what kind of condition this is and what it can give to us, people. We all know that a large number of processes on Earth depend on the moon. And the new moon stage also has its own characteristics. A new moon is a specific phase of the dark side of the moon. The new moon occurs when the moon is between the sun and the earth and we see the dark side. Note that the Moon may not be visible at all during the first period.
Its outlines begin to appear only a few days after the first day of the new moon. If we consider this situation from the point of view of how astrologers evaluate it, then this phase occurs only during the period when the Moon and the Sun are connected in a certain zodiac sign. Each time the moon passes a new sign of the zodiac, and only once in eighteen years does the new moon fall on the same sign, in the same degree. Astrologers call this repetition the Saros cycle.
Many people notice that during certain periods of the month their mood changes, regardless of what is happening. And it is worth noting that it is precisely these two days after the New Moon that cause changes in character and mood. However, it should be noted that not only the psychological state is at a critical level during this period, but the Moon can also influence well-being.

People perceive little of everything that happens around them and increasingly try to withdraw into themselves. Also during this period, a person’s level of communication skills decreases, and he cannot adapt to circumstances.

This is very difficult period, when everything seems to fall out of hand, performance decreases, and the assimilation of information is reduced to zero. There is also a large percentage of errors made simply due to inattention.

This period is especially difficult for people who suffer from depression or other mental disorders. It is also difficult for anyone who has cardiovascular disease. Well, men especially need to pay attention to their condition. They are influenced by the Moon to a greater extent than women and during this period they become aggressive, tense and nervous.
