Last month I revealed how to use the moon signs for planting and maintaining your garden. You can also use the moon signs to plan your everyday activities. Simply look for the moon sign that corresponds to the type of activity under consideration.

For instance, if you wanted to purchase health or dietary products you would choose a day when the moon is in Virgo since this sign rules health, medicine and food.

The following is a lunar activity guide that provides suggestions of what activities to pursue when the moon is in the sign indicated. You can purchase an astrological calendar, an almanac or search the web to find out what sign the moon is in on any given day. Make sure that the chosen calendar or almanac is geocentrically calculated.
