Plan Your Business By The Moon
July 17, 2010
We women are biologically clued into the moon phases through our menstrual cycle, our disposition to nurture and by holding the space we call home. Immersed in cycles (hormonal, emotional, financial, ……. ) and at the same time in work, societies and one’s own demands, we sometimes find ourselves struggling against the flow and maybe even panicking!
The moon has a gravitational pull on water and therefore affects every thing /cell which contains water. Fishermen go out with the tide instead of struggling against it and gardeners and herbalists plant and harvest by the moon for better yields. Once we become more aware of this relationship between the moon and us, we can begin to consciously experiment with the moons’ cycles and experience firsthand what it means to go with the flow.
So why would something like book keeping be affected by the moon?
The moon phases (new, waxing, full and waning) and position (12 zodiac signs) set a particular mood or atmosphere which flavors the day and your experience of it.
We all know how tedious and boring book keeping can be, true? But, we also had times, when everything summed up nicely and we felt good and wholesome about our work when we finished. May I dare say that there is a good chance the moon was in Virgo at the time when it went easy. Maybe even in the waning phase.
When the moon moves through Virgo, we think and behave more analytical and practical, have an eye for detail, a good feeling for numbers and we don’t mind structure. We naturally focus on details and this lends itself to book keeping and other things that need attention to detail, like financial planning and communicating. This is how Virgo energy can be used to its advantage.
If you would do book keeping at a waxing Aries Moon, you would be frustrated and edgy, most certainly not finishing the job, basically wasting time you surely could use better.
There is a lot to be gained to know about moon void of course. These void of course times are used best to consolidate, clean up or reenergize, because anything started in that time has nowhere to go. Most likely you will need to resuscitate the project.
Tuning into natural cycles helps you to use your creativity more consciously. There is a time for everything and working on projects or doing routine chores on days that lend themselves to that activity just makes life so much easier.
New Moon
Every New Moon marks the beginning of a lunar cycle. Pondering business challenges, strategies and visions at the beginning of the lunar cycle leads to ideas and plans that have the best start and all chances of success. Therefore we can use each New Moon as an opportunity to think about and plan for our business.
Waxing Moon (First and second quarter).
For the next 14 days your awareness and project will gather momentum, expand and culminate at the next Full Moon. In those 2 weeks everything you do to build up and strengthen will help to put a positive spin on its development. Gathering information, quotes, putting together campaigns, buying, selling materials…..
A positive attitude towards overcoming obstacles causes expansive and constructive growth. A negative attitude to challenges results in negative growth.
Full Moon
This is a short but very intense time with by then high internal pressure; you can feel fullness and ripeness and this can sometimes be a crisis point. As the impulse changes from waxing to waning, moisture, energy and emotions are released, the pressure decreases.
Waning Moon (Third and fourth quarter)
The time after the Full Moon (when the moon is waning for two weeks) is the best time to put everything together, consolidate and finish the projects, or stages of projects.
Use the 4th quarter to prepare for the upcoming new moon, where you can set new intentions for the next cycle.
Position of the Moon
To further fine tune your planning around the moon, consider the zodiac sign the moon is moving through. This helps you to turn your attention towards issues relating to that sign and allows you ponder their relevance to your own business needs.
This little monthly ritual helps you to become more aware of how you use your creative energies. You will achieve better results and experience less stress when you fine tune your daily routines and activities to the moon.

Set healthy intentions and create your life by the moon phases
September 17, 2009
Set healthy intentions and create your life by the moon phases.
The Moontime Diary is a moon calendar diary which tells you the moon phase and position for every day of the year.
In your Moontime Diary you find the next New Moon is in Virgo 25° on Saturday 19.9.09 at 4:44 am
Virgo is associated with:
health, daily routines, work, affinity to nature, pets,
colleagues and employees
Every New Moon is the beginning of a new moon cycle which is suited to eliminate unwanted habits and to start new projects. New Moon in Virgo relates particularly to health and work related matters. At that time we have a good sense for reality and we even enjoy doing things that create order and structure, sort out things and give them a place.
By re setting our auto pilot, or GPS system, we give our subconscious or higher mind a new direction and it will take us there. It is like planning a round the world trip. You go to the travel agent, tell them where you want to go, they tell you which plain or train to get on and the pilot/driver will take you there. It is ok to change your mind but make sure you tell them! Otherwise you will end up where you are heading to.
A positive attitude towards overcoming obstacles will put into effect an expansive and constructive period of growth. Positive and negative patterns that have been established by the first quarter moon which is in 7 days/ or 3 months continue to develop!
Have something handy to write and take a few deep breaths. Release tension and get to a state of openness and receptivity. The more relaxed you are the easier it is for you to reprogram your auto pilot.
Once you feel relaxed ask yourself how you can improve those situations and issues associated with Virgo, take some time to ponder in peace and quiet and focus your thoughts and ideas on positive change.
“What is it I need to know, so I can improve the situations and issues related to Virgo? Self talk from a loving space in your heart and focus your thoughts and ideas on positive change.
How can I
? live a more healthier, relaxed and purposeful life?
? become and stay more organized at home and at work?
? initiate a greater sense of cooperation between my colleagues and myself?
? I find and get that job which encompasses my talents and expertise
Now take a moment and formulate your answers into a positive affirmation in present tense. The timeframe should be 4 weeks or 12 months.
E.g.
- I am finding and putting things in their appropriate places
- I will create files for my work and private emails
- I spend some time ( 30 min a week) to sort out my emails, letters, communications
- I set time aside ( weekly/ monthly) to keep up with my book keeping
- I am finishing my book keeping in 4 weeks time
- I start every day with a glass of warm water with lemon juice to gently start my digestive system every day
- In 4 weeks I have worked out exactly what job I want and how to get it
- A musician might want to remind himself on moon in virgo days that finger practice is more effective now
Listen to yourself and write down the questions and answers that come to your mind.
The next full moon in two weeks (and also the Full Moon in Virgo in six months, February) sees your awareness/project culminating.
After the Full Moon the moon is in the waning phase for two weeks. Use this time to minimise, consolidate, clear out and finish this project, issue, idea or this stage of it.
Self talk from a loving space in your heart:
‘I believe that everything I need to know will be revealed to me, so I need to keep my eyes and ears open.
I love you …. and so be it’
You can burn your notes to set your intentions free or keep them in a safe place for future viewing; you will be surprised by the process and the outcome.
The Moontime Diary tells you the phase and position of the moon for every day of the year. Every day of the year has 3 suggestions regarding health, home and garden and makes it easy for everyone to follow the moon cycle.
Cheerful moon blessings
