The Meaning of the Lunar Phases
In order
to understand the different phases of the lunation cycle we should
realise that the period around the New Moon is very subjective in
nature, whereas the period around the Full Moon is very objective
in nature.
As the
Sun and Moon conjunct at the New Moon, it can be said that the Soul
and Mind come together deeply to commune. Then as the Sun and Moon
oppose each other at the Full Moon, it can be said that the Mind and
Brain approximate, and the Brain seek to be receptive to be able to
fully understand and articulate what the Mind in its turn received
from the Soul at the New Moon. Thus the subjective impressions at
the New Moon are becoming objectified at the Full Moon and then implemented
and worked out practically during the waning cycle of the Moon. The
seed sown at the New Moon comes to fruition at the Full Moon. The
understanding of the lunation cycle in terms of the interaction between
the Soul, Mind and Brain is very practical and worthwhile of consideration.
It has
been said that "the Moon is the Mind, and the Sun is the Understanding".
Thus as the Moon becomes fully lit, the Mind is able to endow the
Brain with the understanding of what was communicated at the New Moon.
The seedthought has fully impressed the brain, and the brain can now
begin to formulate the impressions. These formulations will then serve
as instructions for action taken during the remainder of the waning
cycle.
Astrology
of the New Moons and Full Moons
The aspiring
disciple should make note of the synastry formed between the New Moon
and Full Moon charts and his own charts. Especially important is the
degree where a New Moon Falls or the axis where the Full Moon falls.
If these degrees happen to make synastry to your own charts (including
the progressed chart), they may well precipitate events or counteract
events held as potential in your charts.
Also
check the rulers and angles for your natal or relocated coordinates.
These too are of import, and so is of course any stellium found in
the chart. It is also suggested that the closest applying aspect will
set the tone of the particular lunar cycle in general, and the closest
applying aspect in synastry will do so for you personally.
