As the moon marches through the sky waning and waxing through its phases, pushing and pulling on the oceans of the earth. Gliding through the sky, endlessly circling us coming into view and out of sight as a comforting nighttime friend. Our very being is influenced by the push-pull of the moons gyrations within us. So also the ebb and flow of our interstitial fluids push and pull against the cells within our bodies in the same way as the gravitational pull against the earth. All forces pulling toward one of the six directions (N-S-E-W-UP-DOWN). When we turn around the effect is reversed. This is the effect of the macrocosm on our bodies. The macrocosm can be loosly defined as the larger picture.

A more subtle movement is also at play within the rotation of the moon on our bodies. This is known by the ancients as milk of the moon. This movement controls the flow of life-force within our bodies. As the New moon comes into view the life force in our bodies is most prominent in one of our feet and slowly rises up one side of our body, until it reaches the head at the full moon. This is when some people start to howl at the moon or when lunacy is most prominent.

As the full moon wanes, the life force also drops down the other side of our body to the other foot where it is ready to begin the cycle again. Creating the microcosm of the galaxy within us. Influencing our feelings and emotions as the elements of life within us revolves through our being.
