“Another weather guide connected with the moon is, that to see ‘the old moon in the arms of the new one’ is reckoned a sign of fine weather; and so is the turning up of the horns of the new moon. In this position, it is supposed to retain the water, which is imagined to be in it, and which would run out if the horns were turned down.” MoonMythologyWeatherFolkloreMoon Water Book:The Old Lore of the Moon: Lunar Folklore & Folk Wisdom Source: The Old Lore of the Moon: Lunar Folklore & Folk Wisdom
