Nico raised his hand, "False; New moon is the first two weeks and Full moon is the last. This division is the same with all Celtic Tree Signs."

He paused and added, "It makes sense- being a lunar-based calendar- that the moon phases provide further divisions and insight; The new moon occurs when the sun and moon are in conjunction and occupy the same part of the sky from our perspective on Earth. The moon's unilluminated side is facing the Earth. It represents new beginnings and return to life. The full moon occurs around 14 and 15 days after the new moon, and is shaped like a complete disc. The moon's illuminated side is facing the Earth. The full moon reflects the maximum light from the sun and in general represents abundance and completion. If the moon has such a powerful pull on the tides it makes sense that the Celtic druids would see it having a powerful pull on the psyche."
