Influences of each Moon phase

To better understand the indications present in the Lunar Calendar 2024, it is essential to comprehend the influences of each phase of the Moon.

The Moon takes about 29.53 days to complete its cycle, starting in the New phase and ending in the Last Quarter phase. Throughout this journey, we can observe emotional fluctuations and periods conducive to more specific actions. Thus, the lunar phases indicate tendencies for the dynamics of our day-to-day life. Understand what each one means!

New Moon: the first lunar phase, indicating energy focused on beginnings, restarts, changes, and spontaneity. Here, we face an excellent moment to start a new project, have new ideas, and create something from scratch. For pregnancies, the New Moon can influence a faster and more tranquil natural birth.

First Quarter Moon: in this phase, we nurture what was planted in the New Moon. There's a certain agitation and a sudden desire to do something, making it a great moment to indeed act towards our goals. This change in the 2024 Moon for pregnancy favors planned births.

Full Moon: here, the Moon is at its peak. With this, we can feel more intense emotions. The Full Moon is when we understand and reap what we planted at the beginning of the cycle. Sharpened awareness and intuition aid us in this process. If you're trying to get pregnant in 2024, the Full Moon can bring good opportunities, as it is considered a highly fertile period.

Last Quarter Moon: is an invitation to dive into our interior, which is a good period for analysis, to understand what's happening and what needs to be waned. That is, here, we end and abandon what no longer fits us to embark on a new cycle.
