I took this out of my BoS.... enjoy! :) Oh, by the way, before you get confused.... the number (1, 2, 3, etc.) represents the number of days AFTER the new moon.

THE MOON'S AGE.

From the Zingara Fortune Teller, by A Gipsy Queen
Copyright 1901, David McKay, Publisher, Philadelphia

1. A child born within twenty-one hours after the new moon will be fortunate and live to a good old age; whatever is dreamt on this day will be fortunate and pleasant to the dreamer; various undertakings will succeed on this day.

2. This is a very lucky day for discovering things lost or hidden; the child born on this day will thrive, but the dreams are not to be depended upon.

3. A child born on this day will be fortunate through persons in power, and all dreams will prove true.

4. This day is bad; persons failing on this day rarely recover; the dreams will have no effect.

5. This day is favorable to begin a good work, and the dreams will be tolerably successful; the child born on this day will be vain and deceitful.

6. The dreams of this day will not immediately come to pass; and the child born will not live long.

7. Do not tell your dreams on this day; if sickness befall you on this day you will soon recover; the child born will live long, but have many troubles.

8. Dreams of this day will come to pass; business begun on this day will prosper, and anything lost will be found.

9. This day differs from the former, the child born on this day will acquire great riches and honor.

10. This day is likely to be fatal; those who fall sick will rarely recover; the child born on this day will be devoted to religion, and of an engaging form and manner; if a female, she will possess an uncommon share of wisdom and learning; this day is good to begin a journey, to marry, or to engage in business.

11. Dreams on this day are fortunate; and the child born will live long, and be very sensible; but a person who falls sick on this day rarely recovers.

12. Dreams on this day will quickly prove true.

13. If you ask a favor on this day, it will be granted.

14. The sickness that befalls a person on this day is likely to prove mortal; what was lost yesterday may be found today.

15. The child born on this day will be of ill manners and unfortunate; it is a good day for dealing in merchandise.

16. The child born on this day will be foolish; it is an unlucky day to marry, or to begin any kind of business on.

17. The child born on this day will be very valiant, but will suffer hardships; if a female, she will be chaste and industrious, and live respected to a great age.

18. This day is dangerous; the child born will be dishonest.

19. Dreams on this day will be vain and untrue; the child born will grow up healthy and strong, but be of a selfish and ungentle turn of mind.

20. The child born will be fortunate, and of a cheerful countenance, religious, and much beloved; any kind of business begun on this day will be unfortunate.

21. The child born on this day will be of an ungovernable temper, forsake his friends, wander in a foreign land, and he unhappy through life; it is a happy day to marry on; and all business begun on this day will be successful.

22. The child born on this day will be wicked, meet with many dangers, and come to an untimely end; it is a very unfortunate day, and threatens everything with disappointment and crosses; whoever falls sick on this day seldom recovers.

23. Dreams on this day are certain; and the child born on this day will be rich and greatly esteemed.

24. This day is favorable for dreams; and the child born will be of a sweet and amiable disposition.

25. This day is bad for dreams, and those who fall sick on it are in great danger; the child born on this day will be its parents' delight, but will not live to any great age.

26. This day is good for dreams, but children born on it will experience many hardships, though, in the end, they may turn out happily.

27. This is a very unfortunate day to look for anything that is lost, but a child born on this day will make a great stir in the world, either as a statesman, soldier, physician or clergyman.

28. A child born upon this day will live to be a rich and truly good man, if born before noon; but, if born after that hour, it is to be feared that he will be dissipated or worthless.

29. Dreams on this day are not worth a moment's attention, for, rest assured, they will never be fulfilled. Never buy a lottery ticket on this day.

For those interested, here (http://www.worldspaceflight.com/addendum/moon/moon_phases.htm) is a reference for moon phases going back to 1760. Just click on the date range at the top.

Oh, and I was born on the ninth day. Can I have my riches now? ;)
