Self-care according to the lunar calendar: a famous astrologer made a plan for us

Many are skeptical of the lunar calendar, although if the ebb, flow and mass of other natural processes depend on the moon, it would be strange to consider the influence of the Earth's satellite on people as some kind of nonsense. The famous astrologer from India Narayana Montufar is sure that it is worth taking into account the lunar phases to draw up a personal care program. At least it’s very interesting to read about it!

New moon

This period is good for beginnings. A new haircut, a new hair color, a new fitness program or a new diet plan - according to Mantufar, the likelihood that your intentions will bring results, and you do not quit training or fall for chocolate and cakes, is higher, since the body at this time programmed for an entire lunar cycle. It is especially effective on the new moon to give up bad habits and start useful ones.

Growing month

This is the time for energetic activities. More sport, movement, and weight loss in this phase is easier! If you wanted to make some effort on yourself, master some skills, make acquaintances, finally go dancing or learn to swim, the growing month opens up bright prospects in every sense. During the same period, it is worth planning a pregnancy, if, of course, this is one of your priorities. Mantufar claims that the baby will grow well, and the mother will feel better.

Moon in the first quarter

The turning point and the most dangerous period for poorly motivated people. It is in this phase that many refuse to continue what they started, not seeing the result or feeling too tired. In this phase, Mantufar does not recommend taking any radical actions, be it a haircut or plastic surgery. It is best to take a wait-and-see attitude and not change anything in life and appearance. But for meditation, relaxation and routine activities, this period is well suited.

Moon in the second quarter

Once you get past the first quarter, the moon will enter the final stage before reaching fullness. Montufar advises to take advantage of the boost of energy and continue the wellness activities that you have outlined during the new moon. Go for broke! Right now, the lunar energy is growing rapidly, and during this period it is worth taking care of yourself, planning serious procedures - both cosmetic and medical, strengthening your workouts if you go in for sports.

Full moon phase

At this stage, the Moon shines in all its glory. Montufar says that at this stage it is good to complete the long-started, but abandoned business, to listen to yourself and to accumulate strength. During this period, insomnia often occurs, the level of stress rises, so it is better to postpone everything that requires tension and try to take care of yourself as much as possible. Massages, spa treatments, pleasant self-care procedures, wraps, masks - right now they will bring maximum benefit.

Moon in the third quarter

On the waning moon, she loses weight well, haircuts are better, and in general everything that is associated with decreasing, decreasing. If you gradually cut calories in your diet, right now you will feel less hungry and less tempted to break your diet. The period is good for leisurely walks, yoga, stretching, swimming.

Moon in the last quarter

The period is suitable for doing what you always wanted to do, but for some reason you put it off until later. In the quietest lunar phase, all risky decisions will pass with minimal consequences, especially when it comes to health. It is better to sign up for an examination, get tested or start a long-delayed course of therapy right now.

Vanishing Moon

A period of debriefing, evaluating results and rewarding yourself. Even if you have not accomplished feats in this lunar month, note any progress made in the slightest degree, any good undertaking or attempt. Gather your strength - and forward: soon the moon will begin to grow.
