Think of all the Science Fiction and Fantasy that was inspired by the
Moon. What a beautiful Moon THIS morning, a tiny waning crescent
rising in the east around 5:00 a.m.! That means the New Moon is
coming in just a day or two, eh? Why? Because the Moonrise preceded
the Sunrise, that's why! In another day or two they'll be "together"
and the power of their gravity, and whatever else is going on up
there, will affect us more powerfully. Don't forget to plant those
alfalfa sprouts or moon-maddened mushrooms or whatever else you're
planting! Don't forget about the cycles of nature, lest nature forget
about you! Come to think of it, maybe that wouldn't be so bad...
living OUTSIDE of nature... actually, that's what we've been TRYING to
do, as a species, for thousands of years... BUT... even so... it
may be good to know what the Moon is up to, no? What if the Moon was
up to something and nobody clued you in about it? Did you know that I
have the
C U R R E N T M O O N I M A G E r i g h
t o n m y s i t e ?
YES!! If you ever want a quick answer to the Moon's daily
disposition, go to the ASTRO-BIO page of my website, By special
arrangement with the Cow that Jumped over the Moon, and (I think) the
Federal Moon Observatory of Maui, which is perched precariously at the
moon-most edge of the dormant volcano Haleakala, I have the
astronomical information about the current moon! Actually, all I
have is the MOST RUDIMENTARY lunar info, mostly just a VISUAL of the
CURRENT MOON! It isn't astrological but at least it's astronomical!
Visiting my site to see it FOR FREE saves you a $16.95 download from
the capitalistic purveyors of this item, (if you 'click' on the moon-
image that's what you get -- a sales promotion!). But now that you
know that, you don't have to 'click' on it at all, just gaze on that
tiny little crescent!
And at my site you GET IT FREE, EVERY TIME, ANY TIME... Just visit:
http://www.edaugusts.com
which lands you on the BOOKS page, so then,
go to the right hand margin and 'click' onto the "ASTRO-BIO" page...
it's right on top! Looking rather DARK right now because there's
just a tiny little crescent, it looks terrific when it is nearly Full
and you can see the craters and "seas!" Use it to "time" your crop
plantings, any hopeful, at times pathetically silly RITUALS, possible
fertility of livestock and lovers, best times to go fishing, the
incoming tide on the Bay of Fundy, (which is a good thing to know if
your toddlers are wading out in the mud, or you're clamming or
building a boat), and so forth!
