MISCELLANY—Cut timber in the old of the moon. It will dry better and not become worm-eaten. Set fence posts in the old of the moon to prevent loosening. The part of your body governed by a particular sign is more sensitive when the moon is in that sign. People with heart trouble, for example, will have more trouble in Leo’s sign, and lovers are more successful at this time. In Taurus (throat) an operation on this part of the body will be unsuccessful. Conversely, if tonsils are removed and teeth are pulled when the signs are in the knees or feet, there is less soreness, loss of blood, and danger of infection. You can easily figure others out for yourself. Paint houses or cars in a dry sign like Leo or Aries. Wean a child or animal when the moon is in a sign that does not rule the vital parts of the body (Capricorn, Pisces, Sagittarius). Set eggs to hatch in a fruitful sign like Cancer. The chicks will mature faster and be better layers. Quit habits on the second day that the moon is in Sagittarius, or on the new moon, or in Pisces. If you cut your hair in Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius, or Pisces, it will grow stronger, thicker, and more beautiful. Purge with pills in Pisces and with liquids in Sagittarius. Bake and cook in Aries. Hunt in Taurus. Lay foundations in Capricorn. Don’t nail shingles or boards on the growing side of the moon, or the ends will draw up and curl and go crooked. Destroy weeds, kill trees, turn sod in the barren signs Gemini, Leo, or Virgo (especially if the moon is in the last quarter). Slaughter while the signs are in the knees or feet, and in the last quarter of the moon. ~ Foxfire book, Volume 1, page 219
