The current MOON PHASE:  First Quarter Moon at 16° PISCES 24' on Thursday, December 8, 2005 at 4:36 a.m. EST. In the following table, there are the four related Moon phases that form a group called a “Moon Family.“ A Moon Family is special because each phase shares a lineage with this week's First Quarter Moon. A Moon family is a remarkable timing tool that links the dates of your story-line's past, present and future, in a pattern that develops over a two-and-a-quarter-year period. I have named the pattern the “Lunar Gestation Cycle“ and when thus grouped together, it forms a Moon Family. See if your current situation connects to the dates in the table:

New Moon	First Quarter Moon	Full Moon - Lunar Eclipse	Last Quarter Moon
03/10/05 19° Pisces 54´	12/08/05 16° Pisces 24´	09/07/06 15° Pisces 00´	06/08/07 19° Pisces 19´

Try making your own projections with the dates in this Moon Family. The surrounding events of this First Quarter Moon Family will be greater than most because a Lunar Eclipse occurs at the Full Moon phase of this Moon family. You may place increased importance on the matters that emerge resulting from the impact of the Solar Eclipse and show marked changes on the two 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 develop over 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 the pay-off or reward stage that brings matters to a close at the Last Quarter Moon. 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 of past or present. In this case the First Quarter Moon is in the sign of Pisces where a Lunar eclipse occurs next fall. Related topics either personal or public can be projected to resurface on the dates shown in the future. This week's First Quarter Moon has its roots at the New Moon nine months ago on March 10, 2005, 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. This First Quarter Moon continues to develop the current issues to the next high action time at the Lunar Eclipse on September 7, 2006, when all the issues will be clearly out in the open for a dramatic crescendo. The Last Quarter Moon brings a time of judgment, review, or consequence at a time to when you can collect what is owed to you or pay your debts around June 8, 2007. The sign Pisces 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.
