REPORT ON LUNAR INFLUENCE
UPON AGRICULTURE.
RUM:hed by a resolution adopted at the last meeting of
- the Huntingdon county Agricultural Society:]
yo Ow President and Members of the Agricuttarai Society
of Lruntingdon County:
'The undersigned Committee, to whom was referred the
subject of lunar Influences on Agriculture, Respectfully
Reports That, deeming the subject one of great importance
to the firming commtinity, your committee have endeav
ored to give it that degree of attention which its import
ance merits.
When it is remembered that at least two thirds of all
the persons engaged in Agriculture and Horticulture, as
well as many of those who pursue mechanical avocations,
reenlete ail their operations by the "signs" or position of
the mien in the zodiacal constellations, or its place in re
gard sto its own and the earth' orbit, it will at once be ap
parent that it is a matter of great importance whether
'there is any philosophy or science in this system of Moon
elegy or whether it is but superstition and lolly.
When you ask. the believers in lunar influences ttpon
vegetation, in the sense above indicated, for the reason for
the faith that is in them, they refer you to the almanac,
e
and there you may contemplate thfigure of a man with
outstretched limbs, surrounded by the ram, the bull, the
twins, the crab and other animals of various degrees of
ferocity, but the rationale they cannot give, for the alma
nac gives it not; but their ancestors from time Immemo
rial looked to the " signs" and regulated their operations
by them, and therefore, they, their sons and daughters go
on in the same beaten track, in "blissful ignorance"
whither it leads or why they go therein.
Your Committee believe that aside from the effects pro
duced by the solar light which is reflected upon the earth
by the moon elle has no influence whatever upon vegeta
tion. That light, as well as heat and moisture are indis
pensable to healthful vegetable growth, is a fact too plain
to be denied or successfully controverted. And that the
increased (and perhaps the quality of) light reflected from
the moon when her whole disk or a considerable part of it
which is horned towards the earth is enlightened by the
sun, has the effect of accelerating vegetable growth and
the rimming of crops, are well attested by experience and
in perfect accordance with natural philosophy. But this
has nothing to do with the signs. - '-
The moon being nearer to the earth than any other ce
lestial body, and surpassed in splendor only by the great
orb of clay, she has excited the attention of astronomers
in alt ages. While her magnitude, motions and distance
from the earth have been nicely calculated and made known
to us by astronomers and mathematicians, they have told
us nothing concerning her influence upon vegetation; and
this simply, because they, in all their close observations and
nice calculations, have never discovered any such influence.
The moon. likeother satellites and the planets, is an opaque
body, and shines entirely by the light received from the
sun. She revolves round her axis front the sun to the sun
again in 29 days. 12 hours, 41 minutes and 3 seconds, and
she takes exactly the same time to go around her orbit
from new moon to new moon, and therefore constantly
has the same side turned towards the earth, with a small
variation called the libration of the moon. '
Vie moon's phases. The sun illuminates ono half of the
Moon at all times; and the amount of light which is re
fleeted depends upon the relative position of the observer
and the enlightened part of the moon. Thus, at the time
of conjunction or new moon, the moon is between the
earth and the sun, and that part of her face - which is never
seen from the earth is fully enlightened by time sun, and
that part which is turned towards the earth is in darkness.
Now, as the motion of the moon in her orbit exceeds the
apparent motion of the sun by a little over twelve degrees
in twenty-four hours, it follows that about four days after
the new moon she will be seen a little cast of the sun after
he has sunk below the horizon. The convex part of the
moon will be towards the place of the eun, and the horns
towards the left hand. As she continues her course east
ward a greatet portion of herface towards the earth will
become enlightened; and when she has removed ninety
degrees eastward of the sun she will present the appear
ance of a semi-circle or half moon. And passing still to
wards the east, at the end 0114% days, she will be diamet
rically opposite to the sun and will rise above them eastern
horizon as the sun sinks behind the western, a complete
circle or full moon. The earth is now between the sun and
the moon, and that half of her ens-thee which is constantly
turned towards the earth is wholly enlightened by the di
rect rays of the sun, and that half which is never seen
from the earth is in dankness. Then. progressing still to
the eastward, the moon becomes deficient on her western
edge, and when again ninety degrees from the sun, she ap
pears a semicircle with the convex side turned towards the
bun; still continuing her coarse emtward, the deficiency
on her western edge becomes greater, and she appears a
ereseent with the convex side towards the east: and in
about 14;4 days snore she has made a complete lunation
and again overtaken the sun. This shows all the phases of
the moon, and the manner in which they sue produced;
and to our minds it is very apparent that these changes or
appearances which are constantly and gradually taking
place, can have no other effects than those produced by in
creased or diminished light.
Nodes of the moon. or the " up" and the "down" signs.—
The nodes are the two opposite points where the orbit of
the moon seems to intersect the ecliptic or tho apparent
path of the earth. But this intersection it merely imagi-
Naru.the meth moviare around the sun at a distance of 95;
MM,OOO of mites, any ate moon around the earth at a itti
.Mnce of 240,000 miles. or less than a quarter of a million
of miles. The orbit of the moon is inclined to that of the
-earth at a variable angle, the medium of which is 5° M.—
The nodes make a complete retrograde revolution from
any point of the ecliptic to the same again in 19 years.—
This is called the cycle of the moon, after which the new
and the full moons ise. fall upon the same days of the
month that they did at the beginning of the period. If
the weather depended upon the changes of the moon, every
nineteenth year would have the same sort of weather at
all corresponding seasons. An almanac nineteen years
old would suit for this year and inform us of all the changes
of the moon and the consequent changes of the weather.
But this is a slight digression.
The node where the moon seems to ascend from the
southto the north side of the ecliptic is called the ascend
ing node, and the almanacs make it the "up sign ;" and
the opposite point where the moon appears to descend
from the north to the south is called the descending node
—the down sign. In astronomy these nodes arts some
times called the north node and the south node, and some
times the dragon's head and the dragon's tail.
If we take 'two large rings of nearly equal size and place
the one within the other so that the one half of the ono
will be above and the other half below the other ring, at
an angle of about live degrees, the one ring will represent
the orbit of the earth and the other that of the moon.—
The two points of intersection are the nodes. The earth
revolves around one of these rings or orbits annually and
the moon around the other monthly. When the moon,
passing around her orbit, crosses the point of intersection,
(or an imaginary line drawn front the one point of inter
section to the other) from the south to the north side of
the ecliptic, she is in the ascending node—in the "up
sign,"—and when she reaches the opposite point she is in
the descending node—the "down sees" Tim moon is
therefore continually alternating from the one node to the
other, b e i ng about one half thetime above and the other
half below the orbit of the earth; but in reality all the
time millions of miles from the one sidle or the other of the
eartlie orbit.
Now, it' any one cart suppose that the attraction of the
moon can draw up or press down objects upon the earth,
such as roofs of buildings, fences, flax or manure spread,
.Iw.,
that effect must be apparent in about two weeks, for
that is the length of time that the moon continues in each
of these signs. After that time, the attraction still exist
ing, there would be an alternate drawing up and pressing
down as long as the moon shall was; and wane. The be
lievers in the signs have never yet discovered how soon the
effects of the moon upon objects affected become visible;
but they do not generally look for those effects as soon as
the moult has passed front the one sign into the other.
The zodiacal signs. The zodiac is a broad circle in the
heaVens, extending in breadth from the tropic of capricorn
to the tropic of cancer. It is about sixteen degrees in
width. The ecliptic is situated it the middle of the zodiac.
The zodiac contains the twelve constellations or signs
through which the sun. passes in his apparent annual
course. This circle is supposed to be divided into 360 equal
parts, called degrees, and these again into minutes and
seconds.
The prevalent opinion among learned men is, that the
figures in the signs or constellations of the zodiac, are des
criptive of the seasons of the year, and that they arc hiero
gliphics- to , represent some remarkable event or occur
rence in each month. Thus, no productions being more
useful to the Chaldean, than lambs, calves and kids, and
they generally being brought forth in the spring of the
year, these distinguished that season. Their Rocks were
increased, and the ram was considered a fit representation
of the month in which this occurred. Their herds were
increased and the bull became emblematical of this. And
the goats being the most prolific, they were represented
by the figure of the twins. Thus we have Aries, the ram,
Taurus, the bull, and Gemini, the twins, as the represen
tatives of the spring of the year—the figures of the spring
signs. 'When the sun enters the constellation of Cancer,
he discontinues his progress towards the north pole, and
begins to move back towards the south pole, and this ret
rograde motion is represented by the crab, which travels
backwards. The heat which usually follows in the next
month; (July,) is represented by the Lion, an animal re
markable for its fierceness, and which, at this season of
the year, was frequently impelled by thirst, to leave the
sandy desert, and melee its appearance on the banks of the
In the next month, harvest commences in that coun
try, and as damsels are generally set to glean in the fields,
like Ruth in the field of Boaz, this season is represented
by a Virgin holding a sheaf of wheat in her hand. The
sun next enters Libra, at which time the days and nights
are equal, and observe an equilibrium, like a Balance. So
we have the Lion, the Virgin, and the Balance for the
summer signs. Autumn, in ancient times, produced an
abundance of fruit, (perhaps of inferior quality,) and
brought with it a - variety of diseases. This season is there
fore represented by the Scorpion, which wounds with a
sting in his tail as he recedes. The' sun enters the next
constellation at the fall of the leaf, when the fields are
cleared of, the crops, and the season for hunting commen
ces. The,stars which-marlc the sun's track in this month,
are represented by the huntsman or Archer, with his bow
and arrows and other weapons of destruction. The sun,
passing into the next constellation, reaches the winter sol
stice, and commences ascending towards the north. This
season is therefore represented by the wild Goat, which
delights in climbing and ascending the mountain in search
of his food, which was considered emblematical of the as
cent of the sun. The next sign, Aquarius, the water-bear
er, pouring water out ' of an urn, is emblematical of the
wet, dreary,
and uncomfortable season of winter. The
last of the zodiacal signs is a couple of Fishes, represent
ing the fishing season.
In the time of the oldest astronomers, the equinoctial
points were in Aries and Libra; but the signs which were
then in conjunction with the sun, when ho was in the
equinox, - are now 30 degrees, or a whole sign eastward of
it ; so that Arier is now in Taurus, Taurus in Gemini„ dze.
The sigh's aro the invention of the ancients, and like
that system of fables *led mythology, they had their
origin in superstitious and idolatrous notions. The Chal
deans probably, are entitled to the credit, such as it is, of
imagining that certain groups of stsfra resembled certain
animals, such as the bear, the dog, the serpent, S:c., and
the Egyptians worshipped the host of heaven under the
most of these imaginary figures, particularly the signs of
the zodiac. , They also worshipped the sun under the name
of Osiris. imagining it a proper representative of the Del
tY, shedding light and heat over the universe, And as the
Moon received her light from the sun, she was esteemed a
female divinity, and honors were paid her, as such, under
the name of Isis. The overflowing of the Nile, which oc
curred periodically, was particularly beneficial to the land
of Egypt, and as that rivet alwriya began to swell at the
rising of Sirius, the most brilliant of the fixed stars, they
had a special veneration for the dog star, as if its influence
had brought about the overflow of the Nile, and the con-
Sequent fertility of the
The Greeks displaced sonic of the figures of the Chalde

had reference to their on n history. The sonic thing was
doha by the „Romans; and hence, some of the accounts

are contradictory and. invotted its fable.
Such is the history of the signs of the zodiac in a con
doused form. These constellations and signs were clus
ters of stars which marked the position of the sun in the
heavens, and were called the "station houses" of the sun.—
They are twelve in number, containing each 30 degrees.
and the sun was about a month in passing through each of
them. When we consider that iu the days of their origin,
chronometers and almanacs hail nu existence, and astrono
my was in its infancy, we cannot but admire the beauty
, of the system as well as appreciate its utility. It made a
magnificent time piece of the star spangled canopy, and
the hosts of heaven pointed out the length of days,
months
and years. What a perversion it is, then, to make these
signs or constellations the "station houses" of the moon as
she passes around the -earth. It converts them into food
for superstition and ignorance, and they carry with them
a train of inconveniences. The moon's transit through
the signs is rapid, occupying but a little over two days in
each, and the almanac makers place her in one sign two
days or three days as best suits their convenience, without
regard to fractions of days.
For example: the sign is in the Crab for two or three
days, according to the almanac, and although the weather
may be fine, and the field in excellent order, the farmer
who consults the moon will not sow or plant in that inaus
picious sign. Or the sign is in Virgo, sometimes called the
Posey Girl," and everything then sown or planted, will
expend all its energy in blossoms, on account of that girl's
propensity for flowers. And equally good logic is employ
ed in behalf of all the other signs. What folly!
The believer in moonology will no doubt be gratified to
learn that when the inoon's position is between the earth
and any of the zodiacal signs. the stars composing that
sign are so immensely far front both the earth and the
moon, that they cannot possibly have any influeShce what
ever, upon the earth or any of the operations of the in
habitants of the earth! The fixed stars nearest the earth
are at an inconceivable distance. It may be stated to he
more than twenty billions of miles; but the common mind
can form no adequate conception of such distance. We
may acquire smite faint idea of the immense distance of the
nearest of the fixed stars from the earth, by considering
that the sun is 95.000,000 of miles from the earth, and that
the nearest of the fixed stars is 212,000 times farther dis
tant. A cannon ball flying with a uniform velocity, 500
miles every hour, would require four millions and five
hundred and ninety-five thousand years before it could
move from one of those stars to the earth ; and the differ
ent stars of the same constellations may be at still greater
distances from each other. Such immensity of space is
bewildering to the ordinary mind; but these considerations
show plainly that the moon's position in regard to any of
the constellations, can have no influence upon the earth,
which is but as an atom in the universe.
In conclusion, your committee would state that the fads
embodied in this report. are such as are agreed upon by as
tronomers and mathamatiehms—such as are found in the
lessons intended for the schools; but your committee do
not expect this report to meet with much buyer from a
large portion of the community. Indeed, truth is never
more unpalatable, than when she brushes aye ay from the
mind, a long cherished fallacy. and exposes error in all its
naked deformity. Many will not believe that they have all
their lives been in error. They cannot make up their
minds to surrender their whole stock of "knoudedge."—
They v ill hold on to their blind faith, and continue to reg
ulate their labors and their lives by the signs. But we
trust there are others in whom the presentation of well
established truth—matters-of-fact and of calculation and
observation, will awa/en reflection—that they will see the
folly - and superstition of the signs, and be ready to follow
the teachings of reason. The scriptures speak of hnsband
ry—of plowing, digging, manuring—of planting and sow
ing—and of the early and the latter rain—but not a word
of any signs to regulate the husbandman in any of his la
bors And Solomon, who was esteemed a wise man in his
day, AVM entirely ignorant of the signs which sonic of our
modern Solomons understand so well, for he is profoundly
silent on the subject, although ho says, "In the morning
sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand,
for thou knowest not which will prosper. either this or
that, tv.c." Is it not time that the agriculturist should
emerge from the superstition which has so long enveloped
him, and follow the advice of Solomon, instead of the de
vices of the Egyptians and Chableans?
Facts and arguments might he adduced to show that all
the effects attributed to the influence of the moon, could
he accounted for, on truly philosophical and scientific prin
ciples. but they would swell this report, which is already
sufficiently extended, beyond endurable bounds : and we
therefore forbear.
All which is respectfully s Emitted.
