What do the phases of the moon have to do with our sexual desire?
We all know that the moon influences the tides and our emotions and behaviors, but did you know it also has a relationship with our sexual desire?
There are four phases of the moon: new, waxing, full, and waning. Each phase of the moon sends out a special energy, and this can also affect our sexual desires or relationships. Here we'll explain how.
The first phase is the New Moon , and the archetype we have as women is The Crone. This is the time when there is no light on the moon and is a space of calm, slowness, and wisdom. Here, it's important to pause in our lives, breathe deeply, and analyze our surroundings. If you have a partner, it's advisable to use this phase to discuss and resolve situations that may be affecting or disrupting the tranquility of your relationship on a sexual level. It's also a good time to talk about new sexual experiences you might want to experience along the way.
As for masturbation, this is the perfect time to slowly explore your entire body and find what you like and what gives you pleasure.
The second phase is the Waxing Crescent , and the archetype that governs women is The Little Girl. Here, women may feel a little more restless, playful, and even flirtatious. The moon's energy begins to flow through our chakras, and this can cause us to be unsure of what we want, as we are guided by the emotion of the moment. It's a good time to experiment sexually, try out new fantasies, and become more creative with our sexuality.
The third phase is the Full Moon , where we fulfill the archetype of The Mother. At this time, women are governed by yin and yang (masculine and feminine energy) and we are receiving all that light and energy in the crown, heart, and sex chakras. It is a powerful phase on a sexual level; sexual relations and orgasms during this phase help further activate the sex chakra. If you don't want to have sex, masturbation can become your best friend during this moon. Remember that the satisfaction you receive at this time will be multiplied by the circulating sexual energy.
And finally, the Waning Moon, where you experience the archetype of The Enchantress. During this phase, the moon is losing its light and our feminine side rules us, so we may feel more defiant, active, and irritable. As for sexual desire, it's normal if we want to be more selfish and dominant with our partners, seek our own pleasure, and be more controlling.
While the moon can influence our sexual desires and behavior, it will always be important to explore our bodies with love, self-care, and responsibility. This is how we can flow more healthily with our sexuality and our being.
