Your Natal Lunar Phase Return and Conception

Often ladies come to me and they discover that the due date of their baby does not align with when they ovulated. This includes myself !!! This is because, many ancient cultures believed women’s menstrual cycles were synced with the Moon, especially the New Moon or Full Moon. During your Natal Lunar Phase Return, you have an increased chance of spontaneously ovulating a second time in your cycle, if the moon is in the same phase as it was on the day you were born !

Moon Phases

Understanding the Mind-Body Connection

The four "main" phases of the moon are;

Full Moon - when the moon is shining in all her glory.

Waning Moon - The surface of the moon is decreasing.

Dark/New Moon - . This marks the end of one moon cycle and the start of a new moon cycle.

Waning Moon - The surface area of the moon starts to get more luminous again.

Ancient wisdom has shown that on the date, time and location of where you were born, you were not only born under a particular Zodiac sign, you were also born in a particular Moon Phase such as Full Moon, Dark Moon, Waning Moon and Waxing Moon, and many degrees in between. Your Natal Lunar Phase Return is when the Moon and Sun recreate the same angular relationship they had at your birth making this a second potential time in your cycle to get pregnant.

How to Find Out Your Natal Lunar Phase Return

Finding out your Natal Lunar Phase Return

To find out when your Natal Lunar Phase Return is, you need to turn to Astrology. One online website you can use is Astro-Seek’s Lunar Return Calculator. What I personally use is the Spinning Wheels app by Jane Hardwicke Collings. This app not only tracks your Menstrual Cycle, it also alerts you to your Natal Lunar Phase Return. Once identified, notice any subtle changes in your body at this time, such as cervical mucus or increased libido or increased energy levels.

How does Natal Lunar Phase Return Affect your Menstrual Cycle

In the 1950s, Dr. Eugen Jonas developed the Natal Lunar Fertile Phase suggesting that a woman has the potential to Ovulate a second time during her monthly menstrual cycle. The first ovulation is the mid-cycle ovulation and the second is a spontaneous ovulation when the moon returns to the same phase as it was at the time of her birth. This can happen even during the time of her bleed. There may be no signs or symptoms of this happening.

Tracking Your Fertile Time

Tracking your fertile time

Tracking your fertile time is not only good for identifying the best time is for conception, it is also good for contraception too. Start tracking your mid-cycle ovulation, the moon phases your natal lunar phase return. Also chart your cervical mucus, libido, energy levels and your emotions to see a pattern. Time intimacy for 4 days prior to ovulation/natal lunar phase return and 1 day after. Or have sex every 2-3 days to ensure that there is sperm ready and waiting when ovulation occurs.
