Ok... I totally understand the whole let's cleanse during the waning moon because that is the best time for cleansing, getting rid of negativity and the like. I have done 4 flushes recently right around the new moon and have researched myself silly.

My question is...

For optimal timing, should the oil flush drink be drunk the night before the new moon so that the stones are eliminated during the new moon day?

Or regardless of what time the new moon occurs, should the oil flush drink be drunk on the new moon evening so the stones will be flushed out the following day?

Or does it depend on what time it is when the moon becomes new and begins to increase again?

The reason why I am getting caught up in the technicalities is because the moon is waning to its most significant degree right before the new moon and after that it starts waxing again. So doesn't it make sense to make sure to drink the oil concoction before the new moon hits?

For example, this next new moon on August 9 in the EST zone occurs at precisely 11:08pm. I agree in this case that it totally makes sense to take the oil drink on the new moon day because the oil will have already been ingested before the new moon hits.

But then in September the new moon occurs at 6:30 am EST. In this case wouldn't it make sense to take the oil drink the evening before and perhaps take a smaller "echo" oil drink in the morning?

I am coming to the conclusion that the answer depends on the time of day when the new moon occurs. And/But then when should on drink the oil concoction when the new moon occurs in the middle of the day? Should one flush before or after? During the waning or waxing influence of the new moon?

Are there any astrologers among us? Are there any aspects to look for to help decide?
