If you compare the seasonal cycle with the moon cycle, you can see the similarities.
New Moon – Winter (beginning and end, a time for reflection and reset)
Waxing Moon – Spring  (new energy, discoveries, plans, new routines)
Full Moon – Summer (enjoy, celebrate, present)
Waning Moon – Autumn (put plans into action, consolidate, reap the reward)

The yearly circle is the aspect we are all familiar with; the lunar component is less so. But together they work much better, a concept that many early cultures embraced. Please read  How the Babylonians and Sumerians Created the  Lunisolar Calendar

 Here are a few examples of symbols you find on the  LWTM Holistic Lifestyle Calendar

Waxing Moon: The time for creating new projects 

  Nourishing and Anti-ageing skincare:  Skin sheds roughly in the same period as the lunar cycle. It is important to have a basic daily routine and add varying procedures. When you see this symbol on the LWTM Lifestyle Calendar, make sure you add a nourishing/anti-aging face mask or serum to your routine. Please check out the article Biodynamic Skincare for more information.

Repotting of house and patio plants:  Potted houseplants outgrow their pots regularly and need repotting.  Whenever you see this symbol is a great day for this activity.  Ideally, use soil for your new pot from your compost heap. Only choose a plant pot that is one or a maximum of two sizes up on the current container. Gradually you can grow this plant into different pot sizes, reusing the outgrown pots for other smaller plants.

Full Moon: connect with others and party. In business it is time to represent, hold talks, or launch a product. 

Celebrations & Weddings:  Historically this time is always connected to social events and celebrations. Most likely because the Full Moon provided the much-needed light during the nocturnal sky. Before reliable calendars were used, it was easy to recognize when to meet up.  We tend to be more active and restless during this time, so might as well celebrate the night away.

Waning Moon: work hard and turn your dreams into reality. 

The treaded To-do List: We all have them, but if it is tacked regularly, it is much to keep on top of your life.  This symbol is a quick reminder to take your list out and clear it. You can find a print-out version in the Freebies section.

Detox and Cleanse your body and mind: Once in a while our body and mind need a good clear out and reset. The later stages of the Waning Moon are ideal to leave the outside world behind and rest. This is the time to clean up your digestion and schedule a  Liquid Fast Day. These days are vital to clear up your digestion and help to keep your body and mind healthy.

New Moon: Similar to the later stages of the Waning Moon a time to declutter, detox, and restart the cycle by filling in your LWTM LifeGoalPlanner. 

Lifegoal Planning: You can’t start a journey without a destination. Spend some time to get crystal clear about what you are here for and what you want to do with your precious life. Fill in the pages of the LWTM Holistic Lifegoal Planner and follow through. Over time these simple steps can make a huge difference.  You can find the LWTM Goal Planner as part of your Freebies package.

There are of course many more symbols available. Look up the  LWTM Holistic Lifestyle Calendar, click on the symbol descriptions for more information, and start living in a new, holistic way!
