The current MOON PHASE:  Last Quarter Moon at 20° CANCER 31' on Friday, October 13, 2006 at 8:26 p.m. EDT. 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 weeks' Cancer Last Quarter Moon. This Moon Family began at a New Moon/Solar Eclipse two and a quarter years 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 form a Moon Family. See if your current situation connects to the dates in the table:

New Moon Solar Eclipse  First Quarter Moon  Full Moon  Last Quarter Moon 07/17/2004 25° Cancer 13´ 04/16/2005 26° Cancer 42´ 01/14/2006 24° Cancer 05´ 10/03/2006 20° Cancer 31´

The sign Cancer of this Last Quarter Moon offers clues of the nature of the matters at hand. Cancer is a sign of family, babies and insiders. Our needs are stronger as our appetites for comfort and safety are a priority. Taking care of those in need and supplying safe housing are issues at this time. Matters of land and real estate are topics. On a personal level you can expect a return for your efforts or closure regarding these matters. This is also a time for assessment that includes a review, re-enforcement, re-counts, and the like in regard to family and marriage partners and how business partnerships affect the family. 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, but the Cancer Moon causes decisions made in private circles. Only those very close to the administration will have all the information. Strategies and appointments based on "favorite son" principals are scrutinized. At home the Cancer Moon phase is closed to the public and looks to be surrounded by family or insiders. 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 also in public events how the themes return and are matured matters placed on the table for decisions, business closings, or long awaited judicial rulings. Please refer to How to use the Moon phase table. The new Lunar Shadows II will be available here, and thru Amazon.com, soon!
