Moon + Menopause Rhythms

🌓 The Waxing Moon – August 1–9

We’re currently in the waxing phase of the moon—moving from New Moon toward Full. According to health visionary Barbara Wren, this is the Building Phase. It’s a time when your body is most receptive to nourishment, strength-building, and cellular repair.

🗓 Dates: August 1–9
🌙 Moon signs: Scorpio → Sagittarius → Capricorn → Aquarius
🌊 Theme: Absorb, rebuild, strengthen

This is your green light to charge your mitochondria, build strength, and remineralize your tissues.

✅ Movement:

• Prioritize gentle resistance training and Pilates.

• Barefoot walking connects you to the Earth’s grounding energy—especially supportive when the moon is in Scorpio or Capricorn.

• Add small breath-hold practices or balance challenges—these stimulate lung and circulatory systems (great for Aquarius themes!).

✅ Nutrition:

• This is the time to go deep with mineral-rich foods: bone broth, seaweed, root vegetables, and fermented foods like beet kvass or sauerkraut.

• Hydrate with herbal infusions or lemon water—this improves your cellular voltage and supports detox.

✅ Mindset:

This phase is ideal for journaling and intention-setting.

Try prompts like:
🖋 “What am I building in my life right now?”
🖋 “Where do I need structure?”
🖋 “Where can I invite more light?”

As the moon grows, ask yourself: Am I growing too?

🌞 Full Moon in Aquarius – August 9

On August 9, we reach the Full Moon in Aquarius. This is the most expansive, illuminating time of the month. Think of it like a cosmic spotlight—shining on whatever’s ready to be seen, released, or celebrated.

Aquarius is all about vision, community, innovation, and freedom. So you might find yourself craving connection, dreaming of new futures, or wanting to break out of old patterns—especially social ones.

✅ Movement:

• Dance under the moonlight—literally or metaphorically!

• Practice long holds in yoga or stretch with intention. Breathe deeply.

• Join a group class or circle—Aquarius loves community healing.

✅ Nutrition:

• Eat lighter. Full moons are stimulating—so soothing soups, hydrating fruits (melon, cucumber, berries), and warm herbal teas are best.

• Skip the extra sugar and alcohol—these overstimulate an already full energetic cup.

✅ Mindset:

• Release what no longer serves you. Especially old social roles or identities.

• Try a full moon forgiveness ritual or meditation.

• Reflect on this:
  🖋 “What can I release to feel more free?”
  🖋 “Where can I see myself more clearly?”
  🖋 “What old identity can I let go of to step into who I’m becoming?”
