The current MOON PHASE:  Last Quarter Moon is at 8° VIRGO 56' on Saturday, at 7:44 a.m. EDT. In the following table, there is a group of Moon phases called a "Moon Family". A Moon Family is special because each phase shares a lineage with this week's Virgo Last Quarter Moon%>. began with a New Moon twenty-seven months ago. Notice all four Moon phases occur near the same zodiacal location and are separated by nine-month intervals. A Moon family is a remarkable timing tool that links the dates of your story-lines in a pattern that develops over a two-and-a-quarter-year period. I have named the pattern the "Lunar Gestation Cycle" and when grouped form a Moon Family. See if your current situation connects to the dates in the table

New Moon  First Quarter Moon  Full Moon  Last Quarter Moon 09/03/2006 11° Virgo 21´ 06/03/2006 13° Virgo 13´ 03/03/2007 13° Virgo 00´ 12/01/2007 08° Virgo 56´

Try making your own projections with the dates in this Moon Family. Think about your current situation and project into the future with the dates found in this table. Once you realize your story is part of the "bigger picture" you may relate to each phase in the Moon Family as it carries your storyline along a path of a logical evolution. Expect related topics, either personal or public to resurface on the dates shown in the future. By following the symbolism of the four Moon phases/stages, you develop greater insights to timing and meaning of the events in your life. As the phases form at nine month intervals, watch your storyline emerge as a new beginning at the New Moon stage; nine months later there is a progressive and enthusiastic growth stage at the First Quarter Moon; watch your story come to completion or some other Full Moon platform like deadlines, full disclosure, case presentations, weddings and the like; to finally, pay-off or reward at the stage that brings matters to a close by the time the Last Quarter Moon. The Virgo Last Quarter Moon is the perfect time for assessment that includes a review, re-enforcement, re-counts, and the like. At work, this is a time for evaluations, recommendations, hiring and firing personnel as well as promotions and other administrative decisions. This Virgo Moon increases a need to make changes with employees and schedules. With the Moon's conjunction to Saturn the consequences are greater and stakes are higher for good or not. At home the Virgo Moon phase is highly motivated to clean up and reorganize the house or routines. Food preparation is a primary concern. During this Moon phase, it is time to reap the rewards of your efforts or pay the debts accumulated over the past 27 months or related to current events. Look beneath the surface of older topics seasoned issues that are in the closing stage. A personal matter may require a decision to gather what you value from the surrounding situation to seed the future and discard what you can. Notice in public events how returned themes are matured and ready for decisions, business closings, or long awaited judicial rulings.
