In this following table there is a group of Moon phases called a “Moon Family” which all relate to this weeks' Solar Eclipse. 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 Solar Eclipse at 10° LIBRA 19' on Monday, October 3, 2005 at 6:28 a.m. is a member of the following moon family:

Solar Eclipse	First Quarter Moon	Full Moon	Last Quarter Moon
10/03/05 10° Libra 19´	07/03/06 11° Cancer 37´	04/02/07 12° Cancer 35´	12/31/07 09° Cancer 14´

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 surrounding events of this New Moon Family will be greater than most New Moons because a Solar Eclipse heads the family. Increased importance is placed on matters that emerge resulting from the impact of the Solar Eclipse and show marked changes on the three dates that follow in the above table. As the Moon family develops to its next phase it carries your storyline along to the future family members in a logical evolution. 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, you will see your events emerge as new beginnings at the New Moon stage; to the progressive and enthusiastic growth stage at the First Quarter Moon; to the deadlines, full disclosure, case presentations, weddings and the like at the Full Moon stage; to finally, pay-off or reward at the stage that brings matters to a close. The topics, personal or public resurface on this cosmic timetable found at the dates shown in the future. Here is how the Lunar Gestation Cycle develops along these dates: The current New Moon seeds the events and develops over the next nine months with a pivotal change in a notable way when the First Quarter Moon occurs on July 3, 2006. Personal or public scenarios continue to develop at the next open book phase which is the Full Moon on April 4, 2007. Look for a major shift showing a culmination of activities that develop over the eighteen months. At that time, an opportunity to address the issues in an open and clear manner is presented with all the facts. At the Last Quarter Moon on December 21, 2007, you reap the rewards of your efforts, receive payment and performance reviews. Pay off debts related to the matters seeded at this Solar Eclipse and plan for the future based on the history of the events that occurred during this Lunar Gestation Cycle. After which time thoughts and a need for new beginnings are were set at the planning stage and build over the following nine months after the Last Quarter Moon in this phase. The sign Libra of this Solar Eclipse offers clues of the nature of the matters at hand. Please refer to How to use the Moon phase table.
