Moon Power

     The Moon has a subtle yet powerful influence on each of us. It affects our moods and sways our temperament. For example, we will be happy for a few days when the Moon is in the sign of Sagittarius. We'll be energetic when it is in Aries and extremely creative when it is in Leo.

     On other days, we might find ourselves being clumsy or short-tempered or fatigued during the Piscean Moon.

     The Moon is our emotional self or the way we cry, lots of tears or just a few, and the way we anger, slow boiling or a volcano.

     The Moon rules the ebbs and tides of the ocean, when some animals eat, and how things grow. Some Farmers and Gardeners plant their crops when the Moon is new, full, and also in a specific zodiacal sign depending upon the results they want. For example, up-top veggies should be started or planted during a Full Moon cycle and root vegetables should be started or planted during the New Moon cycle. For faster development seeds are planted under the sign of Aries and for a later harvest, seeds are planted under an Earth sign.

     Centuries ago, a Full Moon was blamed for people going mad or acting crazed. And when the Moon is full, we are more sensitive or feel our raw nerves and our emotions seem to be full blown or some will cry at the drop of a hat.

     In order to watch the Moon's movements through the twelve signs, you will need either an astrological calendar or an ephemeris, which is a book that lists the placement of the Moon, Sun, and all the planets on any given day.

     On April 28, 2010, the Full Moon was in the sign of Scorpio, a water sign. This was a fantastic day to plant all the up-top veggies for your garden but in particular the water veggies or lettuce, spinach, and watercress.

     And on May 13, 2010, the New Moon was in Taurus, an earth sign. This was a great day to plant the root veggies or beets, carrots, and potatoes. It was also a great day to reorganize anything or just lay back and relax.

     For the successful fruition of any project, you will need to keep in mind the ingredient or the basic element of the project you want to undertake. For example, lettuce and spinach take more water to grow than roses do. Plant these two vegetables when the Moon is in one of the water signs or Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.

     Rearranging furniture takes energy and stamina so move the furniture when the Moon is in one of the fire signs or Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, but arrange the room in your mind or on paper when the Moon is in one of the earth signs or Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn.

     The fire signs, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, are courageous, creative, energetic, enthusiastic, and project starters. Start a new exercise program when the Moon is in one of the fire signs and you will feel energetic during and after each session. Fire energy is also a great time  to get something over with because you are working with quick energy.

     When the Moon is in one of the water signs or Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, daydreaming is easy and as we know, many things are created in daydreams. The water element is artistic, empathetic, intuitive, nurturing, and sensitive. It is a great time to sleep in, go fishing, paint or write. It's also a good time to start a meditation routine.

     And the air signs or Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, are fluent with ideas and words, are objective, and are sociable. It is a great time to catch up on correspondence, host a party or enjoy a lengthy visit with someone. It's also a good time to politely discuss a difference of opinion.

     Use the moon's energy to your advantage to finish up projects, plan and plant your garden to reap a large harvest, speed the sale of your property, purchase a vehicle or effectively get your idea across to someone.

     Listed is just a small sampling of activities, elements or ingredients. Remember to consider the main ingredient of that which you want to accomplish then match it to the appropriate sign in order to acquire what you desire.
