The Moon


We are now in the New Moon Phase. Last moon on this pick that looks pitch black.

Back in the ancient times when people lived in accordance to the natural cycles of earth, the new moon was seen as a fresh start. Its the beginning of a new lunar cycle. Key words associated with this lunar phase are: beginning, birth, emergence, projection, clarity. A time to begin anew, to put new plans & goals into action. During this phase, plans & actions should be seeded by your inner and outer vision. Visualize your goals for this 29.6 day cycle ahead. Spend some time alone in introspection, engage in physical activity.

Everyone knows that the moon influences the tides as it rises. That's why we get the very high tides during full & new moons. Lunar gravity is acting on the earth and affecting the tides with its pull, but unless your a gardener you would not know that it also affects the underground water tables. So if you plant when it is rising towards the full status, the water table rises as well, and makes water more easily available to the new plant. During the new moon it is a good idea to plant leaf crops with the seeds on the outside of the plant, such as broccoli, lettuce, and grains.

It is remarkable to me how much information is out there about the nature of our planet and the forces that impact it and how irrelevant this information is to the general public. As I continue to learn these treasured nuggets of information I will make it a point to share it with you all.
