The current MOON PHASE:  Last Quarter Moon at 23° TAURUS 5' on Tuesday, August 15, 2006 at 9:51 p.m. EDT. Expect increased importance for all current matters because of the relationship that this Last Quarter Moon has to two eclipses. 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 with 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 this 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 05/18/2004 28° Taurus 33´ 02/16/2005 27° Taurus 26´ 11/16/2005 23° Taurus 46´ 08/16/2006 23° Taurus 05´

Try making your own projections with the dates in this Moon Family. Think about your life currently in themes relating to the dates found in this Moon Family giving your story a bigger-picture perspective that connects to this predictable timetable. You are able to step back and gain a bigger picture perspective that connects to this predictable timetable. Each phase carries your storyline back to past dates which mark the path of a logical evolution. Expect related topics, either personal or public to resurface on the dates shown in the future. 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. This last quarter Moon phase takes place at the 23rd degree of Taurus that reactivates what was suppressed during last year's Mars retrograde period from October 1, 2005 through December 10. This is the "take care of business" Moon phase. It is a time when the seed is collected and stored for the future to generate a new cycle in nine months. Chose this time to assess your progress and make decisions about your future plans. Close deals and set your long-term goals. It might be a time to sign a well-researched contract or close a deal, but only on the closest good day available. Set up a business plan. This is especially the case with the Last Quarter Moon in Taurus. The sign Taurus of this Last Quarter Moon offers clues of the nature of the matters at hand.
