thedarlingone: black cat in front of full moon in dark blue sky (blue cat moon)
I knew the Sun went the other way because Dorothy Sayers mentioned it in the notes to her translation of Dante's Divine Comedy, but I had not extended this knowledge to realize that the Moon would of course be reversed not only in path but also in phase. So the mnemonic of the young moon being shaped like "b" for baby and the old moon being shaped like "d" for dying doesn't work there! FASCINATING.
