Have you ever noticed that your energy doesn’t move in a straight line? Some days you feel vibrant and ready to take on the world; other days, your body asks for quiet and retreat.

In the world of Integrative and Natural Medicine, we recognize that the body isn’t a static machine. It is a dynamic energetic system influenced by the frequencies of the world around us. One of the most powerful “conductors” of this energy is the Moon.

The Fastest Traveler in Your Chart

In astrology, the Moon is the fastest-moving luminary. While other planets take months or years to move through a sign, the Moon travels through all twelve signs of the zodiac every ~28 days.

Think of the Moon as an Energy Scanner. As it moves, it “plugs into” different areas of your unique birth chart, highlighting various aspects of your physical and emotional well-being.

Everything is Connected: The Manifestation of Stress

Everything in our lives is entangled. The stress from a high-pressure job, the grief of losing a family member, or the emotional weight of a breakup doesn’t just “go away.” If it isn’t processed, that energy can manifest in the physical body down the road.

When the Moon moves through a sensitive area of your chart, it often acts as a catalyst, bringing these “stored” energies to the surface. It isn’t causing the problem; it is simply showing you where the “static” in your biofield needs to be cleared.

Your Personal Energy Tracker: The Power of Journaling

The best way to understand your unique lunar rhythm is through the simple, powerful act of journaling. By tracking your daily experience, you begin to see the patterns that connect the energy to your cells.

Try tracking these three things for one full lunar cycle:

• Emotions: Are you feeling expansive and social, or reflective and withdrawn?
• Physical Health: Notice any “knots” in the gut, tension in the head, or shifts in sleep.
• External Stressors: Note what is happening in your life—at work or in relationships.

When you look back at your journal alongside a lunar calendar, you will see how these “energy shifts” in your life are influenced by the shifts happening around you.

Listening to Your Blueprint

Your birth chart is a unique energetic blueprint. Instead of seeing health as a series of symptoms to be fixed, I invite you to see it as a conversation between your body and the universe. When we journal and listen to the energy of the Moon, we stop fighting our nature and start flowing with it.
