The Blood
-
I've moved this to Magick, for lack of a better place... because in General Discussion it would disappear after a month or two. (Your question may require more than a month or two.)

Catchy thread name. I was really expecting something else.
I don't feel like going into all it, but you may be interested in something called the "lunation cycle," which I've found has a marked relation to one's "flow." (Not that I experience things, but I've known a lusty [censored] wench or three and I always seem to walk in the bathroom right when they're taking care of things and hence I've had to come to grips with something I really hate, and that is the BLOOD. It used to bother me how something so disgusting can come out of something so beautiful, but now I just subject it to the same Astrological analysis that I do everything else, and like love, hate, and psychic anomalies, a woman's monthly flow is just another quantifiable circumstance in this parabolic graph we call Life.)
That being said, with a Moon in Pisces (silent "c"), one might say that you are particularly sensitive to Lunar cycles, Mme. Alrah. I could work up a chart showing how your various planetary aspects are affected, as the Moon goes full a little earlier throughout the year, but that's a great deal of work and I don't feel like it. But now you know.
Oh, what the hell: Viola!

"But did you know that the lunar cycle also has an effect on sperm production? The topic is far less researched but still interesting..."
I indirectly addressed this in 776 1/2, in the chapter on timing of magical undertakings. Speaking of monthly lunar rhythms, I wrote:
@776.5 said
"The most important consideration is that both instinctual and magical energies increase (as if swelling) in the two weeks from New Moon to Full Moon, and drop off quickly in the two weeks from Full Moon to New Moon... During the present writer’s season of performance of the Sacred Magick of Abramelin the Mage, the days immediately surrounding the Full Moon always brought the most splendid successes, the deepest inner communions, the most powerful magical consequences. Similarly, times of the greatest (and most rapidly renewing) sexual energies generally have been at or near the Full Moon as well. The instinctual seems inseparable from the highest spiritual expressions of magick with respect to this tide: In either case, the simplest metaphor is that the greatest amount of pure Light is reflected into the soul, even as the Moon then reflects the greatest amount of sunlight."
