I noted the sign the moon was in for the longest time via my Sun Sign book, "God Herself" by Enid Thornton I think? It's this utterly fascinating read on the signs from a personality viewpoint and then a historical viewpoint that re-injects all the female power back into the history and meaning of the signs. :)
She related how you're likely to feel in each phase of the moon and I found it to be wonderfully accurate. But her calendar only went up to the year 2000 so I got out of the habit. I'd like to get back into it, it's nice to be forewarned about those times I really just prefer caving and those times I really prefer getting out and about. :)
