The moon has been accompanying our planet since its inception. Civilizations changed, cities were destroyed and created, but this night luminary was still dispassionately watching everything that happened from heavenly heights. The moon changed at regular intervals every month, and the people in charge of observing it knew very well how it affects all life on Earth. From the new moon to the full moon, the moon is growing. What date does this period begin in May of the current 2019? Let's talk about it.
Lunar cycles
In 2019, on the weekend of May there is a new moon. And more precisely, it will be held on May 5, at 1 hour 45 minutes. And from this moment the next cycle of the lunar month will begin. So the fifth month of the year, and with it the famous Walpurgis Night, will begin with the waning moon - May 1 falls on the 25th day of the previous lunar month.
In nature and in human life, a lot depends on how long the growing moon begins to move. If you live in accordance with the cosmic cycles, then your body can tell you what is better for him (and therefore for you): what kind of food, how much liquid to drink, which herbs and medicines to take, and which ones are contraindicated. Especially women react to lunar rhythms - both emotionally and physiologically.
As for the flora, gardeners have long noticed the relationship of the phases of the moon and the growth rate of plants.
First lunar day
From what date the moon growing in May of this year, we found out. Now let's see what is the difference between this day and others. The beginning of the lunar month is considered a magical day. Symbolically, the first day is associated with degrees of the Aries sign from the 1st to the 12th, inclusive.
On May 5th, it’s better not to start any new business, but careful planning will be very helpful. The extent to which you do this will determine their further implementation. It can begin without your active participation.
By the way, if you think hard about something negative, it can also come true. So check back regularly in the astronomical calendar to find out from what date the waning moon is in the current month. And then be careful in shaping your thought forms and desires.
On this day, you should not abuse alcohol, but it is better to completely eliminate it. If you felt the first symptoms of malaise on the first lunar day, then get ready for a long recovery period. But it will certainly come.
On May 5, the moon will be in the sign of Taurus, which means that the ear-throat-nose system will be especially vulnerable. Do not plan tonsil removal for this day.
First phase of the moon
To calculate the duration of the first phase of the lunar month, one should add 7 days to the date from which the waning moon came into its own (May 5). In this case, it will be May 11th. Thus, during this period the Earth’s satellite will advance to the constellation Leo, passing the signs of Taurus, Gemini and Cancer.
The moon is a rather fast celestial body, and therefore does not linger in one constellation for more than 2 days.
The sign of Leo, which she will enter on the last day of the first phase, will push you to a vivid self-expression in some of the areas. However, it is on this day that you should be careful about what you say to whom. By the way, this is a good time to clean your vocabulary by removing the parasite words from it.
For health, asanas for strengthening hands will be very useful. One way or another, the first phase is a period of accumulation of energy, finances, acquaintances (both business and romantic). And at this time, cosmetic masks for the face and hair are perfectly absorbed, and the medication is more effective.
In the middle of this period, you can go on a trip, but not too far. If you know what date the growing moon begins, then it will not be difficult for you to calculate a favorable day for a haircut. In the near future it will come on May 7 and will last until May 8. On May 9, the moon enters the sign of Cancer, which does not contribute much to a successful trip to the hairdresser. By the way, in this and subsequent days, women can become unjustifiably resentful.
The beginning of the second phase
So, we found out from what date the growing moon will be in May and with what processes this is connected in the first 7 days of the cycle. In the second phase, energy storage continues, but some processes in the body occur differently. The eighth lunar day falls on May 12, when the night luminary will be in the sign of Leo. This means that you should pay special attention to the cardiovascular system and do not plan surgical intervention at this time. But positive emotions, for example, from going to the theater, will be very shown.
From this day and for the next seven days you can carry out cleaning procedures and fasting days (as well as fasting). It should be noted that such recreational activities can be planned both in the second and fourth (last) phases of the lunar month.
In addition, special attention should be paid to children who will be very active in the next two days.
If we know what date the waning moon is approaching, we can, adding 14 days, determine the completion of the second phase and the period as a whole.
In May, this cycle ends on the day of the full moon, which will come on the 19th day at 00 hours 11 minutes. The night luminary at this moment passes from the sign of Scorpio to the constellation Sagittarius.
Important transition
The full moon always had a kind of mystical halo. And this is not without reason.
On this day, the subconscious is activated, which means that everything hidden becomes manifest. This is especially true of the temptations of the flesh. And in this case, while the moon is in the sign of Scorpio, this is especially true.
What is useful on this day? Self-control in both the sexual and gastronomic realms. You should not abuse spicy foods, it is better to limit yourself to neutral tastes. If you make tea with viburnum, then this will come in handy.
Particularly dangerous on this day are bleeding, as they will be very difficult to stop. For the same reason, no surgical procedures (other than emergency) should be prescribed. As for cosmetic procedures, contrary to popular belief, the desirability of a haircut on this day is very doubtful. It should be rescheduled for the next two days.
In addition, pedicures and manicures should also not be done on the full moon. If you look into any guide to practical magic, you will understand why this is so.
Moon transit
A few more points that are important to pay attention to. In the second phase, the moon will go from the sign of Leo to Sagittarius. That is, its transit will be through the signs of Virgo, Libra, Scorpio. All these constellations are very favorable for planting. But it should be borne in mind that it is better to plant flowers in Libra, but Scorpio and Virgo are perfect for all that bears fruit. As you understand, many aspects of our life depend on the date the moon began to grow, so do not underestimate the night luminary.
