๐ How to Make Time for Yourself with the Lunar Phases โ in Life, Self-Care, and Business - Moveology
Nov 29, 2025In today’s fast-paced world, where productivity often overshadows presence, finding time for yourself — truly, soulfully — can feel like a luxury. Yet, when you align your life with the lunar phases, you begin to rediscover what balance really means.
The moon moves through cycles of birth, growth, fullness, and release — and so do we. By syncing your self-care, movement, and even your business rhythms with her phases, you begin to work with your natural flow, not against it.
At Universal Movement, this principle is embodied through the Moveology Method created by Alexe Woods, U.M.'s Founder — is a practice that blends lunar wisdom, astrology, and movement to help you reconnect with your body’s intelligence. It’s about living, creating, and working in harmony with the natural cycles that govern both your energy and your creativity. All Classes are designed and led by Alexe Woods
Let’s explore how you can align your personal wellbeing and business success with the phases of the moon — creating space to thrive without burnout.

๐ Living Cyclically — The Moveology Way
When you begin to structure your life, self-care, and business in tune with the moon, everything starts to flow. You no longer burn out trying to keep a constant pace — instead, you honor your body’s rhythms, allowing creativity, productivity, and rest to coexist harmoniously.
The Moveology Method teaches that movement is more than exercise — it’s an act of alignment. Each moon phase invites you to move, create, and care for yourself differently. When your business follows that same rhythm, your work becomes sustainable, soulful, and successful.
๐ The secret isn’t about finding time. It’s about making space.
Space to rest. Space to grow. Space to listen.
Because when you live — and move — with the moon, you align your self-care, your body, and your business with the natural cycles of life itself.
