4) English folklore saying: No moon, no man.
= The boy never comes to anything that's born at new moon.

(In Cornwall, when a child is born in the interval between an old moon and the first appearance of a new one, it is said that it will never live to reach the age of puberty.)


Futari,

1. What is an old moon? Here is the moon phases :http://www.moonconnection.com/moon_phases.phtml

2. Does that mean the child is born in the period of "dark of the moon"?


Thanks.
