The Moon continuously influences the Earth and its inhabitants: from seas, to plants, to us, humans. Not many of us know that the Moon, in a specific phase, favours certain practices regarding our bodies and disfavours others. Celeste concerns exactly this topic.

Celeste is a mirror which tells the current Moon phase. Together with the homonymous application, it provides the user with the knowledge and the tools to take care of their body following the benefits of the various phases.

Celeste is thought for those who have little or no past experience with the Moon and the benefits related to its phases. It is a simple and practical way to learn, thought to make this often considered abstract topic more tangible and less scary for beginners.

The application serves as an interactive introduction to a life in harmony with the Moon. After some time, when the information provided by the application becomes an assimilated routine, the role of the mirror becomes more important. In fact, since it tells the current Moon phase, it becomes the tool for an autonomous and active continuation of taking care of own’s body following the cycle of the Moon.
