Lunar phases and their effects
There are four main phases of the lunar cycle - the cycle begins with New Moon, then the Moon is waxing until it reaches the Full Moon phase and then it is wanning again.
When the Moon is waxing, everything in our life is growing. Things we do come to us multiplied. That can be positive and negative as well. For example, if you eat a lot during the waxing Moon phase, we may gain much more weight in a shorter time.

WAXING

The Full Moon has an incredibly strong energy. It has a significant effect on our psyche and emotions, which may be a bit unstable and more intense. Our organism may be a bit weak at this time and we can tend to ilnesses a bit more. Since the Full Moon is the end of the waxing phase, almost all the food we eat is turning into fat. Because of that, it's recommended to eat very light food or fast druing the Full Moon. Intense physical activity is not ideal, rather choose something slow and relaxing. FULL MOON
WANNING
After a dynamic phase of the waxing Moon and the instense Full Moon energy, there comes a time of exhale and relaxation. Wasted energy is coming back to us fast.
