Like many people, especial women, I feel a special bond with the moon. Though they do not match exactly, I find her endless cycles a perfect metaphor for my own changing moods.
The conventional wisdom is that a new venture is best started under a full moon. The logic here is that you are bestowing the work with all the properties of ripeness and fertility the full moon represents. True, the new creation may not yet be ripe or full but by birthing it under a full moon you insure it will be.
Recently I've come to question that. If something is born under a full moon, then it does it's growing under a waning moon, a time traditionally associated with withering and contraction. Is that really what you want a new adventure absorbing?
Under a new moon, now that's different. Then your new creation grows as the moon grows, filling it with the light of that growth.
And the first new moon of a new year? What magic does that give the birth of a new beginning?
It's going to be fun finding out.
