On ‘Moon Day’ I thought we might explore an ancient myth that makes modern day romantic unions its magical result. Many Eastern cultures talk of activating Moon yin for marriage luck. The Chinese have long believed that the god of marriage lives on the moon, leading to a charming tradition engaged in by girls of marrying age on the first full moon that follows the lunar New Year, and during the month of July as well. On the fifteenth day after the lunar New Moon when the moon shines bright and the yin Chi is at its most powerful, single ladies looking to find the perfect partner should throw ripe oranges into any body of moving water. This is considered the most auspicious offering to the God of Marriage and the belief is that the winds and waters will carry this intention across the oceans and carry back the mate who will bring marital bliss!
