The moon has fascinated humanity for centuries, not just as a celestial body but as a
powerful force influencing emotions and behaviors. For empaths, individuals who deeply feel and absorb the emotions of others, the moon’s cycles can have a profound impact on their emotional well-being. Understanding how these lunar phases affect empaths can help them navigate their feelings more effectively and maintain emotional balance.
The Unique Sensitivity of Empaths
Empaths are highly sensitive to the emotional energies around them. They often experience emotions more intensely than others and can absorb feelings from people, environments, or situations. This heightened sensitivity means that external factors, such as the moon’s phases, can significantly influence their mood and energy levels.
Empaths may find themselves overwhelmed during certain times, struggling to distinguish their own emotions from those they pick up from others. This makes understanding natural rhythms, like moon cycles, essential for emotional self-care.
Overview of Moon Cycles and Their Emotional Effects
The moon goes through several phases in a roughly 29.5-day cycle. Each phase carries distinct energies that can influence human emotions and behaviors:
For empaths, these phases can amplify their emotional experiences, making it crucial to recognize and work with these natural cycles.
How Each Moon Phase Affects Empaths
New Moon: A Time for Emotional Reset
During the new moon, the sky is dark, and the moon is not visible. This phase invites empaths to turn inward and reflect. It’s an ideal time to set emotional boundaries and intentions for the coming weeks.
Empaths might feel a quietness or emotional stillness, which can be both comforting and challenging. This phase encourages self-awareness and preparation for emotional growth.
Waxing Moon: Building Emotional Energy
As the moon grows from new to full, empaths often experience an increase in emotional energy. This phase supports motivation and the pursuit of personal goals.
However, empaths should be mindful of absorbing too much external energy during this time. Practicing grounding techniques, such as meditation or spending time in nature, can help maintain emotional clarity.
Full Moon: Heightened Emotional Sensitivity
The full moon is known for intensifying emotions. Empaths may feel everything more deeply, including joy, sadness, or anxiety. This heightened sensitivity can lead to emotional breakthroughs or overwhelm.
It’s common for empaths to experience vivid dreams or restlessness during the full moon. Using this time for emotional release, such as journaling or creative expression, can be beneficial.
Waning Moon: Releasing and Healing
As the moon shrinks back toward the new moon, empaths can focus on letting go of
emotional baggage. This phase supports healing and cleansing.
Empaths might find it easier to detach from negative emotions or situations during the
waning moon. Engaging in rituals like smudging or taking calming baths can enhance this process.
Practical Tips for Empaths to Work with Moon Cycles
Real-Life Example: Luna’s Journey with Moon Cycles
Luna, an empath, noticed her mood swings aligned with the moon phases. During the full moon, she felt overwhelmed by others’ emotions, leading to anxiety. By tracking the lunar cycle, Luna started setting clear boundaries during the new moon and practiced meditation during the waxing phase. She used the full moon to journal her feelings and the waning moon to rest and recharge. Over time, Luna gained better emotional balance and felt more in control of her sensitivity.
The Science Behind Moon Influence and Empathy
While scientific research on moon phases affecting emotions is limited, some studies suggest the lunar cycle can influence sleep patterns and mood. For empaths, who are already sensitive to emotional and environmental cues, these subtle changes may be more noticeable.
Understanding this connection encourages empaths to respect their natural rhythms and use the moon’s energy as a guide rather than a rule.
Embracing the Moon’s Wisdom
The moon serves as a gentle reminder of the cycles of life. Each phase holds its own lessons and opportunities for growth. By embracing these cycles, we can learn to navigate our emotions with grace and understanding.
As we connect with the moon, we can find strength in our sensitivity. The lunar energy can guide us in our journey of self-discovery and healing.
Final Thoughts on Navigating Emotions with the Moon
Empaths live in a world rich with emotional energy, and the moon’s cycles add another layer to their experience. By recognizing how each phase affects their feelings, empaths can develop strategies to protect and nurture their emotional health.
Tracking the moon, setting intentions, and practicing grounding are simple yet powerful tools. These practices help empaths embrace their sensitivity as a strength and find harmony within the natural flow of lunar energy.
Let’s honour our journey and the moon’s influence. Together, we can reclaim our power and live in harmony with the universe.
May the phases guide you home,

Hello ladies! To really step into your Empress energy, you need emotional freedom. This is the most important key that isn’t talked about enough.
Let’s talk about what that means.
Emotional freedom isn’t about burying your emotions. It’s not about avoiding them. It’s not about pretending you don’t feel them.
Emotions get a bad rep. People say emotions are weak, that someone is “too emotional.” How often have you heard some sort of statement from your parents as a child about your emotions, but the truth is, emotions are powerful. They are your friend.
A lot of people bury their emotions, thinking it makes them stronger. Sometimes they don’t even realize they’re doing it because it’s subconscious. They’ll even criticize others for being “too emotional.”
But here’s the thing: if you bury emotions, they WILL show up. They’ll show up in your words, your actions, and sometimes you’ll explode. If you bury them long enough, they will show up in physical illnesses. Think of the word “dis-ease.” Holding them in always finds a way out, even if it’s in physical form.
Most of us weren’t taught to feel our emotions. We were told, “Why are you feeling like that?” or “You don’t need to feel this way.” Sure, logic has its place. But in the moment, your emotions need to be felt.
Emotional freedom is allowing yourself to be with your emotions. To feel them instead of running from them. To treat them like your best friend.
BUT - They don’t run the show!! The key piece here.
Emotions speak to you. They show you what’s happening under the surface. They point to beliefs that aren’t true. They reveal subconscious patterns and traumas that need healing.
Sometimes a present-day situation triggers emotions that really come from childhood. Maybe something happens, and suddenly you’re all up in your feelings. You don’t even know why. That’s because your body is reacting like it did when you were five years old.
This is why emotions are such powerful communicators. They give you the chance to heal. You don’t always need to know the exact childhood memory. You can heal in the now. Sometimes, as you do the inner work, old memories surface anyway. Things you thought weren’t a big deal, or that you didn’t even remember, start to show up. And the energy behind them starts to release.
Emotional freedom is important because it impacts every area of life.
Resilience. Instead of being knocked down by challenges, you can process and move through them. Life happens. Things will come up. Emotional freedom helps you stand back up. One of my favorite quotes is, “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.” Emotional freedom gives you that ability.
Peace. When you’re resilient, you feel safer and calmer. You feel aligned.
Confidence. The more resilient you become, the more confident you feel. You trust yourself. You know you can handle whatever comes your way.
Healthy relationships. Instead of blaming or lashing out at your partner, you can regulate yourself.
Business growth. Emotional blocks often stop you from taking steps that would move your business forward. Releasing those blocks opens the door.
Better decision-making. Emotional freedom gets you out of fight-or-flight and brings you back to center. From there, you make clearer, stronger choices, even in small things like food.
Personal power and Empress energy. This is where it all leads. Emotional freedom keeps you grounded in your center. Even if you wobble, you know how to bring yourself back. And every time you come back, you stay in your power longer.
Embodying Emotional Freedom
I see emotional work happening in three stages, depending on how strong the emotional hook is.
At this level, a quick reframe can shift everything. Think of an apple in the middle of two mirrors. One side shows it as red, the other side shows it as green. Same apple. Different angle. That’s how fast a reframe can work at the surface.
This is for an emotion that is on the surface. It may have a slight ting of emotion. Like a 1 out 10, maybe even a 2 out of 10.
Here the emotion has more intensity. There’s a bit of a hook. This may have like a 3-4 in intensity of emotion in your body. This is where awareness helps.
Sit with the feeling. Acknowledge it. Breathe into it.
I often imagine my inner child, the little girl inside me. She holds both the wounds and the playfulness. I picture her as the one needing to feel the emotion. I sit with her without judgment. That’s when the release comes.
At this point, you don’t need to force a reframe. Once the emotion releases, the reframe happens naturally.
When the emotion is very strong and won’t release easily, you need somatic work. 95% of your memories are actually held in your body.
For me, it’s EFT/Tapping. For others, it may be breathwork. Both work with the body to release the charge.
With Tapping, you calm the amygdala and release energy stored in the body. Once that charge is gone, you naturally see things differently. You don’t have to force yourself to “think positive.” The shift just happens naturally.
Over time, the more you clear the deep stuff, the easier it becomes to reframe and release at the surface or middle levels.
Here’s the beauty of this work:
Triggers lose their grip. Situations and/or people are far less likely to rock you.
Past emotional charges from “small t” and “big T” traumas dissolve.
You bounce back faster.
Each time you return to center, you stay there longer.
That is emotional freedom.
If you want to stop burying your emotions, if you’re ready to release the trauma that’s been running the show, and if you want to come fully back into your body and your Empress energy—reach out HERE.
This is where healing happens. This is where power lives. And this is where you truly come home to yourself.
