Talk:Rising crescent moon

References? This sounds as if it were invented by the anonymous wikipedian who started the article. And besides, when the Sun is high in the sky, the horns of the crescent moon always point down, and when the Sun is below the horizon, the horns always point up, so this happens every month, not every 7 to 14 months.

I did some research on google, and found one bald assertion that did not give any further references, that explains what this phrase is supposed to mean. Apparently, it's supposed to mean the crescent moon with the horns pointing up and tilting neither to the left nor to the right, not even a little bit. However, it's still a poorly chosen phrase, since "rising crescent moon" already means any crescent moon at any given time when it happens to be rising! As far as I know, April Holladay invented this phrase, and even if she did not, I don't think it belongs in the Wikipedia. Eric Forste 00:12, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
