11 Feminine Moon Centers
What Are Moon Centers?
Ancient kundalini yogic teachings say that a woman has 11 moon centers on specific parts of the body. As a woman moves through the month, energy concentrates in one moon center and shifts after 2.5 days, their emotions resembling the ebb and flow of the ocean's tides. Similarly to the chakras, every moon center influences your mood, decisions, feelings, values and how you process the world.
Understanding which moon center you are in can provide valuable insight into your fluctuating moods. It helps you make sense of your emotional states and offers clarity on why you might feel moody, sad, focused, in love, or insecure at different times. This self-awareness is a powerful tool for regaining your personal power.
Knowing your moon center can also guide your activities and decisions in life. It helps you plan and navigate your experiences more effectively, making you feel less overwhelmed by your emotions. The moon centers operate subtly, but once you identify which one is influencing your consciousness, you can tap into a profound level of intuition.
The women who know their 11 moon centers will rule the Age of Aquarius. - Yogi Bhajan
The 11 Moon Centers
Hairline - clarity and stability Cheeks – unpredictability Lips – communication Ear Lobes - intelligence and ethics Back of the Neck – romance Breasts – compassion Naval / Belly Button – insecure Inner Thighs – affirming Eyebrows – imaginative Clitoris – talkative Vagina – depth and sharing
This is what Yogi Bhajan said regarding the 11 Moon Centers:
There are eleven sites of the moon on a woman, through which the moon moves in a 28 day cycle, spending 2 1/2 days at each center. The sequence varies with each woman, and it does not coincide with her menstrual or zodiacal moon cycle. It is different with each woman but the sequence remains constant in any individual woman except in the case of an emotional shock which does change it. It can be predicted and known only by observation. A woman can always feel it if she just concentrates with sensitivity.
A man can also learn her cycles with sensitive observation. (The male’s moon center is in the chin, just as is the woman’s center, but because of his hair, there, he is more steady and not as changeable as a woman.) In terms of sensitivity, the most important is the hair line and then the cheeks, where they are pink. Third is the lips, then the sunspot on the ear lobes, the back of the neck, breasts, belly button area (or the corresponding area on the spine), the inner thigh, eyebrows, clitoris and the membrane in the vagina. To understand a woman’s emotional fluctuations, it is necessary to understand the moon center cycle; as her mood changes with her moon changes.
In the lower organs or in the thighs, she is very confirmative and wants to substantiate everything.
When it is in the clitoris or vagina, she is eager to socialize, is out-going, charming and talkative.
She is most insecure when it is in the navel or spine opposite it, but when it is in her breasts, she is compassionate and giving to the extent of foolishness.
At the back of the neck she is very romantic, and as such a time, one little flower or gesture can make her nuts.
When it is around the cheeks is a dangerous time and she is almost out of control.
About the eyebrows, she is imaginative, illusionary and all you have to do is trace the brow and she falls right over.
At the earlobes, she discusses values.
When it is in the hairline, she is intractable so that nothing can move her an inch. The hairline is close to the arcline, her halo, so a woman is most real when her moon is in the hairline.
Deeper Into The Moon Centers
Hairline
You will find the arcline center at a woman’s hairline. During the time when this moon center is active, women tend to find that they are close to their inner truth and power. They will feel confident, empowered, and self-assured within this period. A woman should take advantage of these gifts and use them in her everyday life.
Cheeks
Controlling the inner emotions, the cheeks are some of the most unpredictable moon centers kundalini yoga has to offer. When these phases are active, a woman will find that she is more emotional and erratic than usual. It’s important that women recognize this phase and avoid getting into arguments with the people that they love the most.
Lips
When it comes to moon centers kundalini yoga can often be taken literally. The lips signify speech and talking. If these centers are active, women will be more expressive and communicative than usual. That in itself can lead to both positive and negative outcomes, depending entirely on what is said during the period. For that reason, a woman should choose her words wisely while this phase is ruling over her.
Ear Lobes
When the ear lobes are active, a woman will feel inquisitive and analytical. This period may be a smart time in which to discuss important issues or make decisions that will affect many different things. A woman is at her wisest when these kundalini moon centers are running the show, which is why she should use that power to correct any issues in her life.
Back of the Neck
During the time when the back of the neck moon center is active women will naturally feel more romantic. It is likely that a woman will be more flirtatious and outgoing during this period. It is also a sensual time in which you may find that new love blossoms more quickly and easily than it otherwise would. It is not the time to make important choices and decisions.
Breasts
Intimacy and compassion are at their highest when the breasts are active. During these kundalini moon phases, women should steer clear from making tough choices or doing anything that may be life-changing. Instead, they should spend the time in the company of close companions and the people that they love.
Naval Center / Belly Button
Perhaps one of the most famous kundalini moon centers, the navel center is responsible for strength and security. When this particular phase is active, women tend to find that they are more insecure than usual and have a hard time maintaining their confidence. Taking the time to quietly meditate or even simply be alone could help here.
Inner Thighs
Thighs are one of the most important moon centers kundalini yoga has to offer. When the energy is within these centers, a woman will find herself productive and full of energy. This period is the ideal time to start a new project and work hard. Women have an extremely high level of focus at this point, which must not be overlooked. As this phase comes around, a woman can start something new and will ultimately succeed.
Eyebrows
As the most sensitive part of the body, the eyebrows also make for powerful kundalini moon centers. When these areas are active, a woman will find herself more creative and imaginative than she usually is. During this part of the cycle, a woman may want to take the chance to create something new. For example, she may write a poem or paint a picture. It could also be a time for a woman to plan a new business or project.
Clitoris
Of all the moon centers kundalini yoga has to offer, the clitoris is highly important. When this center is active, a woman will find that she is talkative and highly sociable. It is a smart time to get out there and meet new people. Women should try hard to be as inclusive as possible during these kundalini moon phases as it will serve her well.
Vagina
The vagina is another of the kundalini moon centers which makes women feel more sociable than usual. However, this is different from the clitoris as there is also a need for deeper intimacy too. That means that you should meet people in smaller groups and spend time with one or two friends at a time. It is also a great time to relax and take a break.
