Moon Chart 1998

"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 utilizing 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.
