Can someone clear this one up once and for all!!!

 

I¹ve been getting inconsistent advice on which day to take off during a full

or new moon.

 

For example, here in the UK we will get a New Moon at 3:10am on the 26th

Sept. This is presuming the day begins at 12 midnight. So in this sense

you would take the 26th day off and not practice. Or would you?

 

Guruji apparently assumes the day to begin at sunrise and so this 3:10am New

Moon would actually technically fall upon the 25th of Sept. So would you in

this case take off the 25th and NOT the 26th?

 

Confused ­ prima!

I have always thought the New/Full Moon Days prohibition was to give men 2 days

off a month for their bodies to rest and recover. Otherwise, they are

practicing 365 days/year with no break. Women can't practice when they

menstruate, so they have a few days off per month but men otherwise wouldn't

have any days off. Using the moon is a convenience, I always thought. I have

never heard anything about it being related to the lunar gravitational effects

on water but, that could have entered into the decision. I don't suppose there

is any way to find out for sure. As a woman, I ignore moon days because I

already have period days when I can't practice.
