What’s the point of worshiping the moon on August 15th?
If you worship the moon on August 15th, you can make a marriage promise and move house on this day. Do not worship the moon alone. Men are not allowed to worship the moon, and fruit cakes are not round.
1. Make a promise of marriage
In terms of Feng Shui, you can pray to the Moon Goddess on the Mid-Autumn Festival to pray for marriage. This day is regarded as the day when the Moon Goddess is closest to us, and it also promotes marriage. If single or lovelorn people make good wishes on this day, they will have a greater chance of finding a good match and lovers will eventually get married. Lovers who have been separated can also pray to Yue Lao for reunion. The moon is particularly bright and round on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival every year.
2. Moving
Friends who have just moved to a new home or who usually have a small family can invite friends or family to have dinner at home on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and move around more and get together more. Gathering popularity is beneficial to the prosperity of the family.
3. Don’t worship the moon alone
“Raise your glass to the bright moon and make three people in the shadow.” During the Mid-Autumn Festival, some people will enjoy the moon alone for various reasons. A person is reminded to try not to enjoy the moon in sparsely populated places such as open spaces or wild places, nor to go to rivers or seasides. Because the moon's yin energy is heavier, the sun is yang and the moon is yin; the moon is the ancestor of the yin meridian, and the full moon is actually the time when yin is strong. In these places, the yin energy is relatively concentrated at night, which will have a negative impact on people's emotions and bodies.
4. Avoid boys worshiping the moon
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, we all have the custom of admiring the moon and worshiping the moon, and it is popular throughout the country. However, it is not suitable for men to participate in the moon worship process. There is an ancient saying: "Men do not worship the moon, and women do not worship the stove." Men are masculine and do not match the yin moon. Moreover, the goddess in charge of the moon is Chang'e, so the custom of worshiping the moon is only suitable for female friends to participate.
5. Avoid fruit cakes that are not round
Mooncakes, as the protagonist of the Mid-Autumn Festival, symbolize family reunion, harmony and happiness. When choosing mooncakes, be sure to look for round ones, so that the whole family can sit together and feel reunited.
