Moonwave

Our Lunar birthday
The Moon has always guided our path
Since the beginning of time, throughout our evolution, the Moon has guided our path. Both its splendor and the absence of it have led our steps in the darkness of the night.
We have expressed throughout stories our knowledge and relationship with the Moon. These have become legends, myths, and tales that we share about our walk alongside her.
 
In my path, trying to understand the Cosmos to flow in my life, I learned that every 19 years, the Moon returns on your birthday to a similar position to the day you were born. The cycle commonly known as the Metonic Cycle, I call it the moonwave; our lunar birthday.
This cycle has served in ancient times since the Babylonians to calibrate the lunisolar calendars; that is, calendars that tried to follow both the annual cycle of the Sun and the lunar cycle.

We can find another two similar astronomic cycles of 8 and 11 years where the Moon returns to analogs positions; however, these do not have the closest approximation as the 19-year cycle.
In life's cycles, sometimes to find sense, we need to have a broader perspective, get out of our present, and go beyond.
In life's cycles, sometimes to find sense, we need to have a broader perspective, get out of our present, and go beyond, both in time and space, to generate thorough vision; We can achieve this when we lift our gaze to the Cosmos and place ourselves on a higher plane.

The moonwave can be one of the cycles that we use for social organization purposes, as we have done in the past; It can also serve as a reference for the different phases of our life journey.

Using time cycles larger than one year makes our vision transcend to a collective dimension. The broader periods allow us to think about situations in which we will probably not be physically present in the world, leaving behind with this the individualism that generates the illusion of continuous repetition in the short term as happens with the one-year cycle.

Safe travels,
