In this following table there is a group of Moon phases called a “Moon Family” which all relate to this weeks' First Quarter Moon. Each “Moon Family” begins at a New Moon or Solar Eclipse and contains all four Moon phases connected by their zodiacal location and separated by nine-month intervals. A Moon family is a remarkable tool that links the dates your story lines in a pattern, developing 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: The current First Quarter Moon at 22° LIBRA 16' on Tuesday, July 14, 2005 is a member of the following :

New Moon	First Quarter Moon	Full Moon	Last Quarter Moon
10/14/04 21° Libra 06´	07/14/05 22° Libra 16´	04/13/06 23° Libra 37´	10/03/07 20° Libra 54´

Try making your own projections with the dates in this Moon Family. Think about your life currently in themes that occur over time along the dates found in this Moon Family. Notice how your story is woven into the bigger picture within this predictable timetable. Each phase carries your storyline into the future along a path of logical evolution. Related topics either personal or public can be projected to resurface on the dates shown in the future. The First Quarter Moon period is a time for action. Things happen, often on the very day of a First Quarter Moon. A clue to what happens is found in the symbolism of the zodiac sign, and at times the degree can be a hot number if it is related to the degree of an eclipse in the past or present as with this First Quarter. The New Moon, nine months ago was a solar eclipse, indicating some big changes are likely to develop with this Libra First Quarter Moon. This week's First Quarter Moon has its roots at the New Moon nine months ago on October 14, 2004, when an event seeded the current scenario in your life. You may or may not be aware of the onset of the current events, rather you are concerned with the matters now beginning to shape as these subjects show strong indications of growth. This high-energy time is perfect for nurturing the development of an important project, a private or public event, or a relationship. You are now ready for change and equipped with the enthusiasm to move forward with your selected activity. If the issues are not be directly related to your story an awareness of a highly publicized matter could grab your attention and entices you to change your mind or become committed to an ideal in some way. The sign Libra of this First Quarter Moon offers clues of the nature of the matters at hand. Please refer to How to use the Moon phase table.
