New Moon



(when the first sliver of the moon shows in the sky)
Divine the future (this is when the priestesses at Delphi prophesied)
Move to a new house

Trim hair or nails in order to make them grow faster
Sign contracts
Auspicious for:
Consecrations and initiations
Marriages and new partnerships
Major purchases
New enterprises, new investments, starting a business
When you see a new moon for the first time, salute Her by kissing your hand and saying, "New Moon, leave me as well as you found me."
(According to folk tradition, you are supposed to kneel on a rock while you do this, but in my neighborhood it is hard to find rocks large enough to kneel on.)
