Do you know your birth moon phase?

The Moon orbits the Earth in a cycle lasting about 28 days. This cycle includes multiple phases known as the Lunar Phases. Each phase occurs in direct proportion to the illumination of the Moon as it reflects the light of the Sun. This cycle from dark to light and then back into darkness is what we can visibly see., but there is much more going on.

​During each phase, you experience certain energetic themes that influence not only your daily life but also can speak to your inherent personality characteristics and soul's purpose.

You can easily calculate your birth moon phase by looking for a moon phase calendar for the month/year you were born or using an online software like this one.
