Know Yourself, Know the Universe
If you have been following Astrogardens for any amount of time, you know that one of the central aspects I follow are the phases of the moon. To me, this is one of the most basic astrological cycles that we can follow. First, it interacts with us throughout each 24 hour cycle. We can see this interaction in the tides. The Moon also moves faster than any other celestial body in our galaxy in relation to the Earth. We see this in the sky each day and night as the changing lunar phases.
But do you know how this affects you? It starts with knowing the lunar phase at the time of your birth. The energy of this phase was imprinted on you at birth. You feel an affinity to it. Knowing it can help you to be aware of how and when you should be paying attention.
