(*) In 2008 the dates for British Summer Time are 25th March to 28th October. When and where British Summer Time is in use, add one hour to the above times.
(**) The astrological sign shown in this column is the sign relating to the sun rather than the moon.

All times are taken from the Simplified Scientific Ephemeris 2000-2009 published by the Rosicrucian Fellowship.In all meditation it is of value for the student to remember that, from the standpoint of permanent benefit, it is easier to meditate effectively during the period from the new moon to the full moon, than from the full moon to the new moon. The first half of the lunar cycle is one of intensification, absorption and accretion; the second half is one of assimilation and distribution. More real progress over a long period can be made by observing this cyclic law.

Wisely utilising newly acquired energies keeps inflowing and outflowing channels open and prevents emotional, mental and psychical congestions, which may otherwise be experienced with their accompanying physical consequences.
