Lunar calendar gives instructions for everyday life

For one hocus-pocus, for another guide to daily and nocturnal life: the lunar calendar. Properly applied, he promises to be an assistant for gardening, hair cutting, cleaning, slimming, giving up vices, flirting and much more. In addition to the activities for which, according to the calendar, there is the right, promising moment, entire product worlds have been created in recent years, which are produced at full moon and which are therefore intended to provide a special energy. I too wanted to lose some of that energy and lose weight along the way? and am with my research to the right? Lunar calendar first got stuck at the different alignments of the lunar calendar and the fascination moon in general.

Are there different lunar calendars?

Yes! First of all, I was surprised, because some tips differ depending on the calendar. There is a reason for this: when astrological lunar calendar The division of the starry sky is made in twelve equally large zodiac signs, starting with the ram at the beginning of spring. At the astronomical lunar calendar stands at this time the fish. This calendar is based on the constellation, one speaks of the sidereal lunar cycle (Latin sidus = constellation). Since the constellations have different sizes, the moon stands different lengths in each constellation. Identical information makes the two variants in the moon phase, so with increasing or decreasing moon. For example, when gardening, the sowing or harvest days do not differ, but the leaf, flower, fruit and root days.

The moon runs through many areas

Beyond the design of the lifestyle via lunar calendar, the moon also meets us on public holidays. So Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday following the full moon after the beginning of spring (21st March). Easter as a moving holiday turns out differently every year and yet remains about the same time each year, comparing the religious festival with the month of fasting Ramadan. It falls on the ninth month in the Islamic lunar calendar and premature in the Gregorian calendar thus every year for ten or eleven days. Without any religious background, the moon and the sun in combination with the earth's rotation regulate the tides, ie the alternation of ebb and flow. And the moon is also crucial for our sleep. For example, a study by Swiss scientists from 2013 shows that when the moon rises, the quality of sleep falls, sleep is 20 minutes shorter, and the inner clock gets out of sync.

Lose weight with the lunar calendar

Even if it is not scientifically proven, I was curious and decided to go for a diet to lose weight with the astrological lunar calendar. At the same time I have been told by moonstones and zodiac signs, which foods are favorable for my project. It started after the full moon, so with waning moon. Here the body should detoxify, detoxify and drain very quickly. Depending on the sign of the zodiac, for example, there was more eggplant than potato and so I moved along the guidelines. That went pretty well, as there was always a lot to choose from. Arrived at the new moon, I took only light things to me and drank tea and juice. According to the lunar calendar, food is quickly turned into fat (as in the full moon) on that day. I wanted to avoid that. Now I had arrived in the phase in which the moon increases (while I am decreasing) and steers again towards the full moon. My diet changed now a bit, in which I renounced my small rewards, because this phase supposedly with sweet and greasy ways does not deal well with me and as a pölsterchen creates. Now, with my daily tips, I approached the full moon and was curious about what my balance was indicating. A success, 1.5 kilograms in a month. For me, the donkey bridge, because I like to repeat that: When the moon is going down, I start into a lighter life too.
