You And The Moon

As the moon waxes and wanes, your body will react differently to many things, including beauty treatments and how you digest food. Find out the best times to lose weight, change your hairstyle or even guts those eyebrows!

Wise women have been combining their attractiveness treatments with the phases of the moon for hundreds of years. But recently, many more people have come to realize that the planetary movements rule the rhythms of all kinds of life cycles, from the tides to plant life, beauty treatments to digestion.

As there are four major phases of the moon - new, in crescent, full and old - it can be difficult for the beginner to best utilize the lunar pressure at any given time.

Astrologers believe that these phases have a deep effect on our lives, particularly as the moon enters a new zodiac sign approximately every two-and-a-half days. Your lunar high occurs when the moon is in the same sign as your sun sign, while you should avoid making decisions or may feel at your lowest when the moon is in the sign opposite your sun sign.

A book published recently, explains the moon's powerful influence in great feature. In Tune with the Moon 2008 contains comprehensive instructions on how to read the moon, with month-by-month plans, charts and reminders.

Many women find having their eyebrows plucked or their legs waxed too painful. But the skin is less responsive at the time of the new moon, which makes it the perfect time to have these procedures carried out. Thinking of changing your hair color? The full moon is the time to choose. Not only is it the right time to give yourself a new look, but your hair is also more likely to remain its color and shine longer.

Meal and the moon:

Even our diet is affected, because the moon influences our metabolism. If you are not lucky enough to have a cast-iron stomach, digestion and absorption will improve if you pay attention to the times when the moon is passing through the signs and constellations.

For example, when the moon is waxing, nutrients are absorbed more easily and digestion requires less energy. If you tend to set on weight, this is the time to do something about it.

At the time of the new moon, the renewal of physical energy is at a minimum and is a good time to start eliminating poisons or to undertake a bad habit.

And the waning moon is the phase to choose if you decide to follow a programmer. It promotes the elimination of toxins from the body.

There are even 'good' times to visit the dentist or undergo surgery, when to treat lumps or to cut your nails.
