I’ve studied astrology for a long time, and I believe the moon is one planetary body that is underestimated in the effects it can have. 

How I got started was by hanging around with a friend who talked about nothing else.  Being friends with this guy was like visiting a foreign country. 

I felt compelled to speak the language.  In this case, I refer to the lingo of astrology and the influence of the planets.

Intriguing, but controversial information he bandied about seemed like a preference of reality.  I didn’t disbelieve, but I wasn’t going to accept this as a way of knowledge.  Yet how could it be proven?

Because there are always so many interests to pursue, I limited my own study of astrology and horoscopes to studying the moon.  Such a beautiful, intriguing planetary body, Luna is usually visible in the nighttime skies.  I found this to be an easy reality to deal with, insofar as an empirical study.

Some simple notions from age-old folklore correspond with contemporary times.

Werewolf always got strange during the full moon.  Current statistics reveal that more deaths happen during this time.  Police reports are more abundant when it’s the full moon.

We know that the moon can pull the ocean tides, so why wouldn’t it affect people?  

I remember one of my first gardens in a neighborhood surrounded by lakes.  Two of my neighbors were experienced gardeners always ready to give me advice.  That was the first year I had started following moonsigns for planting.

Upon more than one occasion I’d look out the window and see the two gardening friends by my garden.  They were veritably scratching their heads while inspecting how my crop was growing so well. 

I had planted later than they did, but everything was growing faster than their gardens.  I explained my methods to them, but they were skeptical.  “Beginner’s luck” was their explanation.

After this many years of empirical observation, I live my life by following the moon’s cycles.  As a matter of fact, I’m publishing monthly guides for others to reference.  This may seem like a small thing, but following moonsigns makes a nice flow in day-to-day life.
