The Moon and her phases: what to do in which
Four phases set the tempo: new moon — conceive, waxing — build up, full moon — peak and emotions, waning — finish and release. Viki computes planetary positions from the ephemerides, so the current phase can be asked any moment — along with what it means for your chart.
The four phases
- New moon — quiet and conception. A bad time to launch, a good one to decide what to launch.
- Waxing — build-up, advancement, first steps. Everything that should grow.
- Full moon — maximum visibility and emotion. Not the time for sharp decisions, but what was hidden shows beautifully.
- Waning — completion, clearing, repaying debts, letting go.
How to ask
- «What’s today’s Moon phase?»
- «Is today a good day to start something new?»
- «What sign is the Moon in now and what does that change?»
- «How does the Moon phase combine with my daily card?»
The Moon through the signs
Besides the phase there’s the sign: the Moon crosses one in about two and a half days. Moon in Aries — fast and sharp, in Taurus — slow and solid, in Gemini — talk and bustle. For planning small things this is sometimes more useful than the phase.
A study trick
For a week, ask the phase and sign each morning, and each evening note how the day turned out. In a month you’ll start recognising the «lunar handwriting» unprompted — the best way to learn the topic.
Without fanaticism
The Moon is a background, not a schedule. Planning your whole life by her means never starting anything: the right phase is always not now.
