The Eight-Phase Lunar Cycle

Submitted by ciuboda on 6 November, 2008 - 22:00.

"Thousands of years of observation have shown that lunar rhythms affect us all, collectively and personally, instinctually and unconsciously.
From the earliest simple etchings of moon phases on sticks, humanity has found ways to identify measure and predict the timing of events based on the cycles of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Modern calendars, the tools we use for synchronizing our activities with the rest of the world, continue to be calculated using a soli-lunar formula.
Although lunar phases are known to dictate the movement of tides; the growth of plants; and the breeding habits of domesticated animals, fish, and game; we have become so out of touch with nature that few of us even notice the moon unless it’s dramatically full. Much less are we able to recognize its cycle or phase by its appearance and location in the sky."

    "The astrological version of the Sacred Dance is, of course, the twirling of the planets in their interwoven cycles across the sky. When two heavenly bodies interact in their orbits, we have the making of a combined cycle that becomes greater than the sum of its celestial parts. The most visible of these is the Sun and Moon—or “The Lights,” as they’re called by astrologers.

  • Moon in Aquarius -

    'With Moon in Aquarius you need to be free of negative emotions such as greed, fear, anger and Jealousy. Emotions which might be deemed selfish and demanding are usually controlled or unacknowledged. Aquarian principles are concerned with social issues, ethical standards and equality. This means that you are far more concerned about matters that pertain to mankind rather than one individual. Emotionally you are tinged with futuristic qualities and instinctively know about social trends before they appear. You are nourished by ideas and patterns at work.'

    Long before the emergence of the solar zodiac, during the 2nd millennium BC a Babylonian magician-priest was interpreting heavenly omens daily, based only upon the impression the heavenly phenomena  left on him. Not bound by an imperative of any kind of mathematical or astronomical calculations, he could draw his conclusions based upon the feeling stirred up in him after he had observed the sky. The only thing he wrote down were the phenomena of the colours surrounding the discs of the Sun, Moon and the five planets in the moment of their heliacal stations.

    "A reader asked me what it meant that the recent New Moon in Libra fell conjunct their Pluto. That got me to thinking, and you know what that means....

    While forming the answer to the query, I realized that at certain points in the year, a series of New Moons and Full Moons in fact do stimulate many of the "generational planets" in our charts. Whether Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto, there are a sequence of Lunations that trigger these outer, invisible, "transpersonal" energies, allowing us to face spiritual lessons that evolve us in major ways."
