New Year Preparations

New Year Preparations.

I don’t actually *do* New Year’s resolutions as such.

However, I do get diaries for the year to come. One for work, and one for home.  Then I sit and transpose things like the phases of the Moon and the 8 major Festivals.

To find the dates and times appropriate to where I am, accounting for things like daylight savings, I use the following websites:

SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE

I have mentioned before that I am in the Southern Hemisphere, and that I celebrate according to the astrological or ‘cosmic’ dates as opposed to the traditional calendar dates.

I have written posts around the various festivals over the last 6 months since I launched this  blog, and I will continue to do so.

Questions for other Southern Hemisphere peeps:  

• Do you name the various Moons?
• Do you consider that name to be only for the full moon or for the whole moon phase?
