The current MOON PHASE:  First Quarter Moon at 16° ARIES 19' on Friday, January 6, 2006 at 1:56 p.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:

Solar Eclipse	First Quarter Moon	Full Moon	Last Quarter Moon
04/08/05 19° Aries 16´	01/06/06 16° Aries 19´	10/07/06 13° Aries 43´	07/07/07 15° Aries 12´

This Moon Family is special because each phase shares a lineage with a Solar Eclipse that occurred nine months ago, on April 8, 2005. You will notice all four Moon phases occur near the same zodiacal location and are separated by nine-month intervals. A Moon family is a remarkable timing tool that links the dates of your story-lines in a pattern that develops 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. Try making your own projections with the dates in this Moon Family. Think about your life currently in themes relate to the dates found in this super Moon Family giving your story a bigger picture perspective that connects to this predictable timetable. Each phase carries your storyline back to past dates and into the future along a path with a logical evolution. The surrounding events of the current Lunar Eclipse Family showed a pivotal change at the Moon Family dates. Expect related topics, either personal or to resurface on the dates shown in the future. You may recall the news from last April when the solar eclipse occurred. The funeral of Pope John Paul II caused England's Prince Charles to postpone his wedding to Camilla Parker Bowles. Both of these stories may emerge with developing events. More may be revealed from Prince Charles' family and the new pope or the Vatican may appear in the news over the next week. The stories in our lives are also developing to the next action phase. 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 Aries with roots to a Solar Eclipse nine months ago on April 8, 2005, when events from that time seeded the current scenario in your life. You may be concerned with these subjects from last April as they indicate signs 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 might grab your attention and entice 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 Full Moon on October 7, 2006, when all the issues will be clearly out in the open. 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 July 7, 2007. The sign Aries 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.
