In this following table there is a group of Moon phases called a “Moon Family” which all relate to this weeks' Last 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 Last Quarter Moon at 3° GEMINIS 29' on Friday, August 26, 2005 is a member of the following :

New Moon	First Quarter Moon	Full Moon	Last Quarter Moon
05/31/03 09° Gemini 20´	02/28/04 08° Gemini 53´	11/26/04 04° Gemini 55´	08/26/05 03° Gemini 29´

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. Expect a return for your efforts or closure in your current affairs as the lineage of this Last Quarter Moon was seeded at the New Moon Solar Eclipse at 9°Gemini, two-and-a-quarter years ago, on May 31, 2003. At that time, many topics would have become charged issues that moved to the next high action time at the First Quarter Moon near February 28, 2004, nine months later. The next major development period emerged at the Full Moon, nine months ago on November 26, 2004, when a major shift allowed a culmination of your current activities. You may have had an opportunity to address the issues in an open and clear manner. This Last Quarter Moon on Friday is a time of judgment, review or consequence where it may be time to pay up or get paid for your efforts. The Gemini Last Quarter Moon is the perfect time for assessment that includes a review, re-enforcement, re-counts more specifically regarding basic facts and raw data, events and issues concerning siblings and vehicles and all forms of communication and office equipment. It is a good time to set travel plans or take a short trip that has special relevance. Stories told and heard require discrimination regardless of source as Gemini does not filter information for credibility, but acts as a transmitter and receiver of information in general. Begin writing about your history or wrap up older writing projects. Added significance surrounds the multiple activities that cluster around this last quarter because it is related to a solar eclipse. The surrounding matters have the capacity to seed the future in nine months. If a reward or recognition is applicable for your work over the past couple of years, then this is your time. At work, it's a time for evaluations and recommendations for a hire, fire, promotion or decision from higher authorities. During this Moon phase, you can expect to reap the rewards of your efforts or pay the debts accumulated over the past 27 months related to the current events. Look beneath the surface of older topics to spot how a seasoned issue reveals its final details. If at this time you've experienced in full, a personal matter, gather what you value from the surrounding situation to seed the future and discard what you can. Notice also in public events how the themes return from matured matters are now placed on the table for decisions, business closings, or long awaited judicial rulings. The sign Gemini of this Last Quarter Moon offers clues of the nature of the matters at hand. Please refer to How to use the Moon phase table.
