Which Diary should you choose?
The Moon Diary is compact, reasonable durable and contains some handy info - it would fit in your handbag and is useful for contact info and appointments. It contains moon phases, signs, void of course and some other planetary transits.
The Moontime Diary would also fit in a larger handbag and is probably more durable than the Moon Diary due to its construction. This diary contains a wealth of lunar and planetary information. If you garden or need to know what the planets are doing then this is the diary for you. I really love the moon phase images that sit in the background o the pages that provide a lovely big picture of which moon phase is happening. The school and public holiday chart is handy too.
The Gratitude Diary is probably too big and heavy for your handbag but it would be ok as a bedside or desk diary. This diary is can be used as a journal.
