According to Daoists, how do the celestial bodies affect the body?

[Phoenix3]

I was reading some interesting posts about Chinese astrology here. I can’t remember who said it, but someone said that most people are only partly conscious, and that planetary influences can influence the behaviour of the average person.

 

I also noticed that Daoist festivals occur according to the phases of the moon. Daoists say that the moon is very Yin, so what effect does a full moon and a new moon have on us?

 

I would like to know more about this. Thank you

Good reference list here.

My personal advice is:

 

Follow a long standing lineage method and practice until you realise what you really are.

 

Even the Sufi school knows about it (love this quote too):

 

You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop. (Rumi)

 

Talking about it won’t help. You need to realise yourself through hard and consistent practice.

 

Good luck!
