THE WAY OF MOON
The moon is rightly believed to be the star of the spirit,
that saturates the earth and fills bodies by its approach,
and empties them by its departure.
The blood even of humans increases and diminishes with its light,
and leaves and herbage are sensitive to it,
the same force penetrating into all things.
Plinio il Vecchio
The way of Moon is a path to get back in connection with natural law.
In the West especially the program is in force that freedom and professional fulfillment count more than taking care of oneself, of others and of the natural environment in which we live.
Farming, housekeeping, gardening, body care, medicine have been transformed with a powerful spell into mechanical, boring and unloving actions.
The moon guides us in finding harmony with simple but profound actions. The cleaning of one’s environment, if connected with the lunar rhythms of the waning moon, becomes simpler and lighter actions.
Pulling weeds with the waning moon in Capricorn will be easier.
Taking care of a sick tree, which no longer grows, by cutting its top in the new moon, will help it throw out new sap and grow.
Everything has its rhythm, if we observe we will be able to feel it again.
The wind will speak to us, the colors of the sky will whisper their secrets to us, the moon will sing us its melodies.
Ancient astrologers linked the time of a woman’s gestation to the wandering stars. The first month was devoted to Saturn, the last to the Moon. By balancing analogy, the first month of a newborn’s life was dedicated to the Moon.
All the Moon goddesses control fate or weave fate and regulates the energies on the earth. Their attributes are the spindle and the distaff.
THE SIMPLE OBSERVATION ABOUT THE MOON can help us remembering the ancient common sense & deep knowledge of ancient civilitazions about the natural rythm of life. 🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑
– 4 MAIN LUNAR PHASES:
NEW MOON 🌑
CRESCENT MOON 🌒🌓🌔
FULL MOON 🌕
WANING MOON 🌖🌗🌘
These are the 4 main states, but there are other kind of moon states tht can be studied:
– MOON IN CONSTELLATIONS OF ZODIAC:
♈♉♊♋♌♍♎♏♐♑♒♓
it describes and consider the position of the moon inside one of the 12 contellation of the Zodiac,
– ASCENDAND MOON: it is not a lunar phase, but it describes a status of the moon with ascendant force,
– DESCENDANT MOON: it is not a lunar phase, but it describes a status of the moon with descendant force.
Our reality is fractal, so the lunar month is a micro-year.
In 28 days the moon is describing a 4-season cycle (spring-summer-autumn-winter) through all the zodiac signs.
DESCENDANT MOON – the force of decreasing
The expressions “ascending” and “descending” have nothing to do with the phases of the Moon, whether it is waxing or waning.
These definitions depend on the position of the Moon in the Zodiac.
All the constellations of the zodiac which are crossed by the sun during the year starting from the summer solstice (21 JUN) to the winter solstice (21 DEC) > therefore from Gemini to Sagittarius > have all a DESCENDING FORCE that brings downward, creating the process of folding, withering, and resting.
This is the force which releases the maturation, the fruits and then the harvest, decay, folding and rest. 🍃🍂🍁🥀
The Gemini-Sagittarius signs are intermediate signs, being solstitial or turning points between ascending and descending forces.
The ascending/descending properties are released in the 28-day journey of the lunar month, therefore, according to the fractal nature of the cosmos, the energy journey of the macrocosm of the entire year is already contained in the microcosm of the lunar month.
These forces help, depending on the MOON PHASE, to release further specific energies for agriculture, body care, energy alignment.
ASCENDANT MOON – the force of growing
The expressions “ascending” and “descending” have nothing to do with the phases of the Moon, whether it is waxing or waning.
These definitions depend on the position of the Moon in the Zodiac.
All the constellations of the zodiac which are crossed by the sun during the year starting from the winter solstice to the summer solstice (therefore from Sagittarius to Gemini) have an ASCENDING FORCE: the force which releases the gradual increase, the progression , growth, blossoming, flowering.
All the constellations of the zodiac which are crossed by the sun during the year starting from the summer solstice to the winter solstice (therefore from Gemini to Sagittarius) have a DESCENDING FORCE: the force which releases the maturation, the fruits and then the harvest, decay, folding and rest. 🍃🍂🍁🥀

MOON AND 12 ZODIAC CONSTELLATIONS
♈♉♊♋♌♍♎♏♐♑♒♓
Along its 28-day cycle (lunar month), the moon passes through the celestial space occupied by the 12 constellations, used by the ancients as references to define specific portions of the sky, connected with different types of energy, of which the moon is the channel and expression.
🌕
The celestial energy of the constellations appears at its maximum expression during the full moon and can be followed to operate better in life according to harmony.
🌕
For example, the celestial portion corresponding to the Virgo ♍ is connected in the vegetable world with the roots, and the ancients observed that it is more useful to devote oneself to promoting the growth of the roots on that days, since the same lunar influence already direct the energy towards the roots.
In medicine, Hippocrates emphasized that he never operated on the part of the body corresponding to the constellation crossed by the moon in those days, as it was already particularly stressed.
The study of the influences of the sky (zodiac) on lunar energy allows one to harmonize with natural energies, avoiding insisting or stubbornly carrying out actions at the wrong time, wasting effort and time.
ANCIENT INDIA
CHANDRA
NAKSHATRA
The ancients carefully followed the lunar calendar, in India it was said that the Moon (in Sanskrit called Chandra 🌜 – he was a male) was married to 12 wives (the 12 constellations) and that he passed through 27 portions of the sky called Nakshatra.
If you would split the sky into 12 different parts, you shall call these 12 divisions as Zodiac signs. If you divide instead into 27 equal divisions, the term would be Nakshatra, which means “map of the stars”. During the division, each zodiac sign covers a zone of 30° from the circle of 360°.
NEW MOON 🌑
Moon conjunct Sun forms a sun-moon-observer line.
The new moon in March is in the sign of Pisces: the new moon is found for 2-3 days with the same stars in the background, in the same zodiacal constellation as the Sun.
New Moon is the beginning of Earth inspiration
FASTING: This is the moment for doing fasting: the detoxification capacity is at the maximum
RELEASE: this is the time to detox from old habits and old patterns and programs to start a new cycle of awareness
WAXING MOON 🌒🌓🌔
Already a few hours after the new moon, on the lunar surface, moving from left to right, a small crescent appears on the side of the moon exposed to the sun: the crescent moon.
The crescent moon brings strengthening, boosting, growth.
During these days it is great to provide the body with cures or exercises to strengthen and improve it.
The more the moon grows, the more difficult it is to heal from wounds and operations.
The tension of the water is stressed and increases: it is difficult to remove the stains on days with a waxing moon due to the resistance of the matter.
FULL MOON 🌕
With the full moon, bubbling energies move on the earth, which all living beings perceive: water is the element that transforms and consequently all the beings that contain it. 🌕 🌊
Researcher Viktor Schauberger’s studies showed that during a full moon his water slides for transporting logs were able to work at their best, while on other days the logs got stuck, because floating was more difficult. 🪵 🌕 🌊
He also observed that small regular stones within the stream seem to tremble and repel each other, moving towards the surface, as if lifted.
Medicinal herbs harvested on a full moon have the greatest healing potential. 🌕 🌿
How many things are still to be discovered, what effects of the full moon did the ancients know that we have forgotten?
Observing, without prejudice and with objective curiosity, nature and full moon guide us towards knowledge and awakening.
WANING MOON 🌖🌗🌘
During the waning moon the energies begin to slow down and turn inward. The motion and action of liquids (blood and lymph) slow down imperceptibly, because water is less electromagnetically active.
For this reason it is recommended to perform surgical operations in this period.
PRUNING
It is essential to prune the branches in the waning moon, because the tree will lose less sap. The wood harvested on a waxing moon is saturated with sap and therefore, in addition to getting moldy rather quickly, it produces a considerable amount of smoke and soot during combustion. The master beams, in order to offer maximum duration, must be cut with the waning moon in December. Even the wood destined to be transformed into coal must be brayed on a waning moon.
SOWING
It is necessary to plant “what grows underground” (carrots, turnips, onions and potatoes) with the waning moon and “what grows above the earth” (lettuce, tomatoes, herbs), with the waxing moon.
GRAFTING
With regard to grafts on fruit trees, the suitable moon is the waning one. The best day for grafting is the third, calculated from the day on which the moon begins to wane: if it is grafted on the third day of the waning moon, the first fruits can be harvested after three years; if it is engaged, beyond that day, you have to wait another year for each of the days of delay.
