Did you know that the Moon can affect your mood? The idea that the lunar cycle can influence our behavior dates back thousands of years.
It has been largely dismissed by modern science though.
However, some experts do agree that the moon’s energy can amplify our emotions, just like the changing tides! This beautiful moon mood tracker will help you find out if you’re one of those people.
You can draw it yourself or, if you’re not so skillful, find a printable template online.
