Haircuts According to Lunar Rhythms

Cutting hair and nails in accordance with lunar rhythms helps direct astral flows in a positive direction, makes it easier to use one’s own resources to the fullest, and supports achieving maximum results in any undertaking. Therefore, before going to the hairdresser or doing beauty care for the hair at home, it is recommended to check the Lunar Haircut Calendar.

Every lunar month, or rhythm, is similar to the human life cycle. It contains all the stages of development inherent in any living organism: birth, growth, flourishing, and decline.

New Moon

These days are also commonly called “dark” days or “Hecate days,” in honor of the ancient Greek queen of the dark Moon. They last for a couple of days before and after the New Moon. During this time, most people tend to experience changes in both psychological and physiological well-being. In addition, people born on a New Moon often have inner contradictions and are prone to recurring periods of depression. Hecate days are a time when vital energy is running low, activity decreases, and people become as vulnerable and exhausted as possible. During the New Moon period, the human body prepares for a new renewal. For this reason, cutting hair and nails is not recommended, as it may disturb the energy balance and attract negativity.

First Waxing Quarter of the Moon

The element of the first quarter of the waxing Moon phase is Earth. Its patroness is Artemis, the ancient Greek goddess of war.

During this phase, the body begins to accumulate energy. This explains a slight decrease in immunity and poor well-being in weaker organisms. At this time, a person should not exhaust themselves with excessive physical or emotional strain; otherwise, this may provoke a complete loss of strength. For cutting hair, this period is considered neutral and does not have any additional influence.

Second Waxing Quarter of the Moon

Water is the element of the second Moon phase. Its patroness is Thetis, the eldest daughter of the sea deity Nereus and Queen of the Moon Selene.

The second waxing phase is characterized by an increase in the body’s energy, strengthening of the physical and emotional state, and greater activity. Those who want their hair to grow quickly should have it cut during this lunar cycle.

In addition, the hair becomes highly receptive to nourishing and vitamin-rich products. Therefore, during this Moon phase it is recommended to use various vitamin masks to strengthen the hair, as it easily absorbs all the valuable components contained in different masks.

Full Moon

This period is characterized by a change of rhythms. The body moves from concentrating its strength to using it. Accumulated energy, both psychological and physiological, reaches its peak and transforms into increased excitability and nervousness. Nervous system disturbances may often make themselves known, and sharp mood swings may be observed.

A positive emotional state during this Moon phase helps make a visit to the hairdresser and home cosmetic hair-care rituals beneficial. A haircut done during this period activates further hair growth and fills the hair with vitality.

Third Waning Quarter of the Moon

Air is the element of the third Moon phase. The patroness of this cycle is said to be the goddess Diana, the ancient Roman warrior goddess.

During this time, the body is characterized by maturity. Therefore, concentrated energy begins to be actively spent. Despite this, strength still remains at its peak. During this period of the lunar cycle, any strain or pain is endured with ease.

For this reason, it is recommended to perform various manipulations with the hair and nails during this period, including medical procedures such as removing purulent formations or an ingrown nail.

A visit to a beauty salon during the waning phase is recommended for strengthening the hair. After salon procedures performed specifically during this period, even a change in hair structure is possible. A haircut at this time, on the other hand, will slow down hair growth, but will make the hair stronger, which will have a positive effect on the shape of the hairstyle.

Fourth Waning Quarter of the Moon

Fire is the element of this Moon phase. It is associated with Eris, an ancient Greek goddess. Vital forces are actively being spent at this time.

Visiting the hairdresser too often during this period of the lunar cycle is not recommended, as it may accelerate the loss of energy. However, if the lunar day and sign are favorable, then such a haircut will absorb their positive energy.  ✓
