Guided by the Moon: Living in Harmony with the Lunar Cycles [Paperback]

Johanna Paungger (Author), Thomas Poppe (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 31, 2002

For centuries humans have recognized that the moon's cycles influence our lives and the world around us—the ebb and flow of the tides, women's menstrual cycles, and the most beneficial times to plant and harvest. But this ancient body of knowledge—the impact of lunar rhythms on our lives and our surroundings—has become known to fewer and fewer of us, as we have migrated from agrarian to urban living. Now in Guided by the Moon, authors Johanna Paungger and Thomas Poppe recapture this wisdom, providing advice to help readers determine the timing most likely to bring them success in anything they do. Paungger and Poppe cover every area of daily life, from health, beauty, and housekeeping to nutrition, gardening, and family outings. Guided by the Moon is the most comprehensive, accessible guide to this native wisdom—and will be an invaluable resource for everyone seeking to harness the moon's power to live happier, more harmonious lives. Not simply is this a book on lunar astrology, but a comprehensive guide to the moon's influence on our lives and surroundings—and includes charts, illustrations, and a moon calendar through 2010.

I can highly recommend this book! If you believe in the power of the moon then you need to purchase this book!
This book describes how the moon influences everyday life, and gives practical advice which days are the best for health & beauty, gardening, household cleaning, etc.
For example, the lunar calendar states that you should only cut your hair on certain days of the month. I've actually practiced this for about 2 years, and had amazing, beautiful hair! I have naturally curly, long hair and it was never healthier, shinier and better when I used the advice from the lunar calendar.
This book is a major bestseller in Germany, where natural and organic living is highly regarded!

I was not absolutely sure this book was what I needed when I bought the book. I am a healer and use natural means for my work. This book has a lot of information that is helpful in that regard. It also has good information for daily living. I am still garnering the information and may have more to say as I read on...

For those who wish to LIVE naturally, within life's cycles...THIS is a book that should be read. Then, GO EXPERIENCE natural living!

Also has info on daily living with the moon including what herbs help with what ailment! I love this book! I loved buying this with the Llewelyn calendar it was a great combo! Highly Recommend!!
