Living by the Moon

Living in alignment with the moon phases and constellations has been a lifestyle for millenia and there are still quite a few people who follow lunar trends to decide when to best do what, regulate and maximize their health benefits, garden, and more. This can be seen as a type of electional astrology, but it is solely focused on the Moon, the phase it is in, the sign it resides in, and in some cases what aspects it makes to other planets. I will mostly focus on the former two in this post.

The basic idea is that the moon represents the body and influences it as such. The moon is mostly consulted for dietary decisions, beauty questions, general health related activities, and gardening. Apart from the gardening I will cover all of these things and a few additional ones. To simplify this I will (in regards to diet) talk about losing weight as more favorable than gaining weight most of the time however by no means is this trying to say that that’s better in general - many simply consult the lunar diet to lose weight more than they use it to gain it and it makes it easier for me to write the post. 

Always prioritize the word of a doctor. This post is not supposed to substitute proper medical care.

Tried to infuse a jar of honey with blueberries.

Yeah…that went well. I shoulda squashed them first, because now they’re just floating at the top and not doing anything.

Tried squishing them against the glass, but they’re refusing to pop.

Sad blueberry honey experiment is probs just gonna wind up on toast and will not be spoken of ever again.
