Related to the other thread on the Moon....

Most books on alchemy give advice on taking any given product in the time following any given planetary hour system on its given day yet also give detail on the well known image/glyph of the Macrocosmic man depicting the astrological signs and their relation to various organs. In reading into moon astrology and herbalism the same glyph is given but in this case one is advised to follow the passage of the moon in attending to ailments and issues regarding specific body parts.... as far as practicality and method goes this approach is sound, in that it can be proven, cutting your hair in tune with the relevant sign of the moon in its waning period does well to keep it healthy etc and yet many authors on Practical Alchemy seem to follow the Planetary Hours approach... another idea given to me by a P.Alchemist is to balance the taking of a product with its opposing energy using Astrology and the passing signs. Perhaps the idea in many books is to simply attune the Neophyte to various energies but anyway.... just wanted to throw this one out there.... in my opinion it makes more sense to follow the passing of Lunar tides in taking Alchemical Products.

[Plz excuse the fact that I'm new to Alchemy and refuse to return to the other thread which no doubt states the same but in a more confused/embarrassing way]
