Collect the water in the morning, before sunlight touches it.
The period when the Moon has made its last aspect with another planet before moving into the next zodiac sign. This time is like a “pause” in the Universe.
The rule: “Begin nothing new, do nothing important.”
Use the time for rest, meditation or routine work. Check when the Moon is void of course in our Lunar calendar.
Each of the 4 main phases lasts about 7 days. The full lunar cycle is 29.5 days. The influence is strongest on the day of the exact phase (new moon / full moon) and the 1-2 days around it.
Many people notice mood shifts around the full moon -- more intense dreams, heightened sensitivity. Scientific research is mixed, but millennia of practice show a correlation between the lunar cycles and our emotional state.
The period when the Moon has made its last aspect before changing signs. The rule is: "Begin nothing new" -- do not sign contracts, do not start a business, do not go on a first date.
The new moon is the ideal time for new beginnings. The waxing moon (from new moon to full moon) supports growth and attraction. Avoid starting on a waning moon.
The Moon spends about 2.5 days in each zodiac sign, affecting emotions and energy. For example, the Moon in Cancer heightens sensitivity, while the Moon in Aries heightens action. Check our lunar calendar.
