The full moon that occurs when the Sun is in your birth sign is the most powerful. However, if you are sensitive to the environment, then the New Moon is felt strongly as well. (If you have Neptune in the 3H for example. I have this.) This is all presuming of course that you had enough sleep, don't have a hang over, aren't ill for some reason, etc. In other words, something that will deter your sensing the effects.
If I am not paying attention to the Moon cycle very closely when the Sun is in Libra (my Sun sign), I sense the change. I then go look at the calendar, then say to myself afterwards, "No wonder I feel ..." (fill in the blank). This full Moon is called astrologically, your 'Personal Full Moon'. Today is mine.
Your birthday (meaning the actual Solar Return day/time) is in my opinion, the best choice. You are more in tune with your true being at that time than any other time of the year. It begins about 5 days before & last until 5 days after, but the waning is less powerful. Also if during the last 5 days (afterwards), the Sun enters into another sign (applies to me), it loses some of the effect. So if you are born in the last 5 degrees of a Sun sign, you will notice the change into the next sign more significantly than otherwise.

Subject: [JoS_Astrology] Dedication date
I am trying to decide what date would be best to preform my dedication. My first option is my birthday (Dec 3rd), when a new moon will be in my zodiac, and my second option is New Year's Day, when a waning moon will be in my zodiac. Which one should I do? (Limited options, I am living wth X-ians.)
