EXERCISES
- With a printed notations sheet in hand, select three family members or relations whose birthdate and year you know. Using one of the websites above, determine their moon’s-age day and, consulting the chart ‘Judgements Drawn from the Moon’s Age’, write down what it says about that day. If there’s left-over space, add any relevant observations of your own which support or counter it. Then look at the list you’ve created. Going by what you know about person and their life, how accurately or inaccurately does the moon’s age prediction fit them? If that particular moon’s age day gives a character description, does it fit the person?
- With another observations sheet in hand, select either people you know/knew in school, friends, neighbors, or co-workers whose birthdate and probable year of birth you know. Look up their predictions based on the day of the moon’s age they were born and write them down. Add any relevant additional observations if there’s room. Then look at the list you’ve created. Based on what you’ve observed about these people, how accurately or poorly does the moon’s age prediction fit them?
- Take up a third observations sheet. Choose three historical figures whose birthdates you know or can track down. Consult the chart for their predictions and write them down in the spaces provided, adding personal observations where possible. Given what you know about these historical figures’ lives, how well or poorly does their day of the moon’s age prediction fit their lives?
- For this exercise, you’re going to be choosing from among marriages, schools, businesses, institutions, non-profit organizations, whole countries, or any other such incorporated entity whose start-date you know or can easily track-down. Write down their name and their start date in the ‘date of birth’ blank. Consult the chart for the prediction assigned to that day of the moon’s age and write it down, along with relevant observations of your own. Look at this list. How well or poorly does the prediction reflect the fate and/or character of this incorporated entity?
- EXTRA CREDIT: Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were born the same day, February 12, 1809. If they weren’t two of the historical figures you researched in exercise 3, look up the day of the moon’s age for that date, then check the chart for the relevant prediction. Given what you know about these two historical figures, how well or poorly did the prediction for both pan-out?
- Given all these exercises, answer these questions: How accurate a divination tool is the ‘Judgements Drawn from the Moon’s Age’? Did you find it a useful tool, or is it more of an idle-curiosity-satisfier? Did you find any of the predictions to be frankly laughable when applied to the subject? Did you find the character delineations at yourmoonphase.com to be more accurate about these subjects, or were they more complementary to the ‘Judgements Drawn from the Moon’s Age’?
