observation
It's almost the new moon. I think over the last several cycles of the moon, I have been really affected by the new moon more strongly than in the past. I've always been able to connect both my mood and hormonal changes with her cycles, but generally the full moon has a markedly more noticeable influence than the new. Not necessarily so more recently though and right now I can feel myself sort of closing up and becoming more introspective as I have, I realize now, with the last few new moons. I need to think about what this means for me and how to honor this apparent need to focus inward.
