New Moon type - the Moon less than 45º ahead of the Sun.
The position of the Moon in your chart shows that you respond to those around you in an instinctive, subjective and often impulsive way, giving the impression that you are not quite in touch with reality. You will need to find your true self to make the best use of these abilities.

Crescent Moon type - the Moon from 45º to 90º ahead of the Sun.
The position of the Moon in your chart shows that you feel that the new should replace the old and you are compelled to take action to ensure obstacles against this are removed. By taking action you are able to believe in yourself and your abilities.

First Quarter type - the Moon 90º to 135º ahead of the Sun.
The position of the Moon in your chart shows that you feel you have the strength to promote new ideals to those around you and even to become forceful in order to achieve your aims. You will prefer constructive activity and see it as a way of laying foundations for the future.

Gibbous Moon type - the Moon 135º to 180º ahead of the Sun.
The position of the Moon in your chart shows that you feel the need to give much attention to your personal growth and development. You see this as a way for you to contribute something of value to society which is in line with your understanding of the bigger picture in life.

Full Moon type - the Moon 180º to 135º behind the Sun.
The position of the Moon in your chart shows that you have a clear view of reality and the ability to (subconsciously) develop your own spiritual growth. You are most likely to become aware of this and feel its positive effects when you have become able to break away from the past.

Disseminating type - the Moon 135º to 90º behind the Sun.
The position of the Moon in your chart shows that you have a great desire to pass on the knowledge you have gained to those around you. You may become involved in a cause that you feel very strongly about, but you should take care not to become fanatical otherwise your message to others may not get through.

Last Quarter type - the Moon 90º to 45º behind the Sun.
The position of the Moon in your chart shows that you have the ability to convert ideas into something that will be of use to those around you. These ideas will most probably come through some type of conflict you feel within yourself or with society as a whole. Your appearance of inflexibility will be compensated for by your strong sense of humour.

Balsamic Moon type - the Moon less than 45º behind the Sun.
The position of the Moon in your chart shows that you are more inclined to look to the future for better times and with a feeling that they most certainly result from your actions in the present. Dwelling on the past will not be part of your nature as you look ahead in a visionary way.

posted October 25, 2007 12:42 AM              

NEW MOON PHASE — Dark Dawning:

(Up to three and a half days after the new moon) In the absence of light, the vision is felt, not seen. The symbolic seed germinates underground. The flow of solar-lunar energy emerges, initiates and projects in an instinctive, subjective manner. Lunar receptivity to others is overshadowed by the burning solar need to realize the self. Nothing and no one gets in the way of a New Moon type.

Keywords: Incarnate, Emerge, Project
Notables: Muhammad Ali, Elvis Presley, the Dalai Lama; Prince William

CRESCENT MOON — Light Quickening:

(Three and a half to seven days after the New Moon.) As the light is stirring, the first glimpses of the vision may be perceived. The symbolic seed breaks out of its seed casing and pushes its first shoots above ground. The life impulse encounters a challenge, as it must mobilize its energy and resources and move forward. Crescent people need to make contact with the physicality of their environment and discover the resources available to them.

Keywords: Overcome, Focus, Move Forward
Notables: Martin Luther King Jr, Simon de Beauvoir, Indira Gandhi, JFK

FIRST QUARTER MOON — And Dark in Balance, Light Ascending:

(Seven to ten and a half days after the New Moon) The symbolic seed establishes its root and stem structure. Like pioneers settling new lands, these individuals must forcibly clear the way so they can actively build new structures to contain their purpose. Because of their experience in meeting crisis after crisis, many have an instinctive sense of how to take control of energy, manage and redirect it so problems can be solved and business can resume as usual.

Keywords: Decide, Act, Build
Notables: Liza Minelli, Neil Armstrong, Queen Elizabeth II, Shirley MacLaine; Timothy Leary

GIBBOUS MOON — Light Dominant:

(Ten and a half to fourteen days after New Moon) This phase analyzes whatever was developed in the previous phase and perfects the form so it can operate efficiently and effectively. As the light becomes dominant, the symbolic seed buds. The Gibbous desire is to become as skillful an artisan and technician as possible in its chosen field of vocation or expression. These are the apprentices of the moon phases. Their capacity to continually adjust and refine the structures demands perseverance and flexibility.

Keywords: Evaluate, Analyze, Perfect
Notables: Hillary Clinton, FDR, Prince Charles, Barbara Walters

FULL MOON — Light Peaks:

(Fifteen to eighteen days after the New Moon) This is the flowering of the cycle, the peak of the light and total illumination of the vision is the promise. The symbolic seed flowers. Through relationships with others, full moon people develop objectivity and clear sightedness about the larger meaning of their life purpose. The inner drama between the sun and moon polarity manifests in outer relationships.

Keywords: Culminate, Illumine, Fulfill
Notables: William Blake, Judy Garland, Princess Diana, Krishnamurti

DISSEMINATING MOON — The First Stirring of the Dark:

(Three and a half to seven days after the full Moon. This is the fruition of the cycle. The symbolic seed bears its fruit. Having become aware that life can be lived with meaning in the full phase, Disseminating people want to live out this purpose and spread the meaning. This is often a life of teaching and sharing wisdom.

Keywords: Distribute, Disseminate, Convey
Notables: Bill Clinton, Winston Churchill, Ram Dass, Helen Keller

LAST QUARTER MOON — Light and Dark in Balance, Light Gaining:

(Seven to ten and a half days after the Full Moon.) The life impulse has completed its mission and now begins to reorient to a dimly intuited future. The symbolic seed withers on the vine and decomposes. Rebellion against old patterns characterizes the inner revolt and crisis in consciousness. Often their lives are marked by a continual turning away from what they have accomplished. They must sever and let go of the conditioning into which they were born.

Keywords: Reevaluate, Turn Away, Revise
Notables: Amelia Earhart, Mohandes Ghandi, Carl Jung, Anaïs Nin, Mick Jagger

BALSAMIC MOON — Depth of Dark:

(Ten and a half days after the full moon to the New Moon.) The symbolic seed once again turns back into itself. The final phase of the cyclic process bridges the death of the old and rebirth of the new. These complex types straddle both the past and the future — and they often find themselves involved in intense, but short-term encounters. These visionaries often feel a sense of destiny and urgency — that there is something they must do.

Keywords: Distill, Transform, Envision
Notables: Bob Dylan, Elizabeth Kübler–Ross, Dane Rudhyar, Abraham Lincoln

*As we can see from the eight phases described above, there is a continuous interaction between a changing, receptive principle (the Moon) and a constant, radiant principle (the Sun). The solar inner self depends on the Moon for experience. Without the Moon there would be no connection with life or other people, for the Sun is not a relating principle. The Moon in turn depends on the Sun, because, without it, the Moon is utterly at the mercy of the body and of nature. Knowing our specific lunar phase can therefore give us valuable insight into our own soli-lunar nature.

The Birthday Calculator got it completely wrong (if the opening assertions are correct), because it gave me a waning Gibbous Moon, though my Moon is 96 degrees away from my Sun (Gibbous is 125 to 180 degrees from the Sun).

Do we have any practicing Wiccans present?

I'm thinking these guys may have more experience with these moon phase titles and such?
