To see the new moon the first time over your right shoulder is lucky, but if over the left shoulder it is unlucky.
The first new moon in the year is stronger in its influence than the others.
If the new moon does not appear until the fourth day, it foretells a troubled time for the whole month.
When the moon appears on the fourth day very clear and sharp and rather on the slant, it promises mostly fair weather for the month.
An erect moon is said to threaten wind.
Near full moon a misty sunrise,
Bodes fair weather and cloudless skies.
When the clouds of the moon to the West fly away,
You may safely rely on a settled fair day.
When mountains and cliffs in the clouds appear,
Some sudden or violent showers are near.
Sun rising red and fiery foretells wind and rain. If cloudy and the clouds decrease it is a sign of fair weather.
If after rising the sun goes to bed again (that is going behind clouds) it is a sure sign of rain.
