The current MOON PHASE:  Last Quarter Moon at 2° SCORPIO 37' on Sunday, January 22, 2006 at 10:13 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 Last Quarter Moon. This Moon Family began at a New Moon twenty-seven months ago. 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 it forms a “Moon Family“. See if your current situation connects to the dates in the table:

New Moon	First Quarter Moon	Full Moon	Last Quarter Moon
10/25/03 01° Scorpio 41´	07/25/04 02° Scorpio 32´	04/24/05 04° Scorpio 19´	01/22/06 02° Scorpio 37´

Try making your own projections with the dates in this Moon Family. Think about your life currently in themes related 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 these Moon Family dates. Expect related topics, either personal or to resurface on the dates shown in the future. The surrounding events of this Moon Family will be greater than most Last Quarter Moons because a Lunar Eclipse is found in this family. Increased importance is placed on the matters that emerge resulting from the impact of the Lunar Eclipse from May 24, 2005 and show marked changes on the three dates that follow in the above table. 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; Full Moons bring deadlines, full disclosure, case presentations, weddings and the like; to finally, pay-off or reward at the stage that brings matters to a close by the time the Last Quarter Moon occurs. The Scorpio Last Quarter Moon is the perfect time for assessment that includes a review, re-enforcement, re-counts, and the like with matters involving money tied to institutions such as banks, insurance companies, estates and your partners. At work, this is a time for evaluations and recommendations; a time for hiring and firing personnel as well as promotions and other administrative decisions. Labor topics arise, some will cut retirement funds or other benefits and injure the trust of employees. Scorpio Moons bring stories of pregnancy birth and death. Matters of abandonment may be related to the issues that come to a close during this week. Old patterns and sexual issues are back up for discussion in personal relationships. If you feel you have been violated, ripped off in a deep manor than this Moon phase may help you to process some of the issues, making this the perfect time to hire a counselor to guide you through the other side. Any of the alternative healing methods are the best choices for treatment. The Sun in Aquarius supports alternative and practices such as acupuncture, plant sprit medicine, deep tissue massage, herbs and homeopathic medicine. Scorpio is also a time to address issues involving trust and forgiveness as old wounds rise to the surface. During this Moon phase, it is time to reap the rewards of your efforts or pay the debts accumulated over the past 27 months related to current events. Look beneath the surface of older topics seasoned issues that are in the closing stage. A personal matter may require a decision to gather what you value from the surrounding situation to seed the future and discard what you can. Notice in public events how returned themes are matured and ready for decisions, business closings, or long awaited judicial rulings. The sign Scorpio 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.
