WHAT IS THE LUNAR METHOD?
When we look at the sky at nights we see the appearances of a full moon, a new moon or a crescent moon. These different slices of a circle are special lunar phases or appearances of the moon. The stages of the moon's waxing or waning are called lunar phases.
Some pregnant women believe that the type of moon predicts the days of a menstruation cycle, the day of birth for a boy or girl, the best time to successfully conceive, the best days to plant and reap and the way people behave specifically; CRAZY PEOPLE.
"According to the Lunar Phase Method a woman will most probably (85% probability) become pregnant if the actual lunar phase is identical to the lunar phase at the time of her own birth. So if for example a woman is born at new moon she has a 85% probability of becoming pregnant at any new moon! A woman's menstrual cycle and several other factors determine the remaining 15% probability of conception.
The newly discovered lunar cycle is regular and constant for the whole life and is not subject to any changes, which is quite different in the case of the menstrual cycle. Because with nearly every woman both cycles, the lunar and the menstrual, have different lengths, they shift against each other. This leads to the interesting phenomenon that the most fertile days of a woman (according to her lunar cycle) sometimes are during her menses! This also explains why many women have conceived immediately before, during or after their menses, which are days that are traditionally considered as relatively safe"

When I was young, the old women in my neighbourhood would say, "if the moon is big or full, mad people would behave badly". In my teenage years, a few UK trained nursed confirmed to me that the old people from my neighbourhood were RIGHT about their sayings.

TODAY,
I plant flowers and seasoning in my garden using the lunar method. Since the invention of canned foods, over the counter medicine and the ability to have a family doctor, some people are straying from traditional belief systems which includes the Lunar Method.

ReplyDeleteI've always believed that there are similarities in fertility with certain persons. Interesting that it is linked to the moon; I think you have reignited my spark to do research on this :)
