The Moon is a great mystery, the Queen of Mystery. On earth, we watch her changing phases as she moves through her cycle, and by knowing these cycles, we get to know ourselve better and begin to recognize our own patterns, for better or worse. Following the moon cycles can bring us deeper in touch with the intuitive knowledge that we all hold within our ancient and all-knowing selves.
