Lunar Phase at Birth
NEW MOON NATAL PHASE 0 deg - 45 deg
If you were born into the New Moon Phase of the Lunar Cycle...
You have been born to project yourself into humanity. Because you respond to life more instinctually, you are one who truly lives in the moment, the past having little to do with the decisions you make today. Your intuitive abilities will give you more direction as opposed to conscious, rational reasoning. Because you need total spontaneity, planning ahead is not your best method of operation and may meet with obstacles. Working best without pre-thinking or an elaborate, organized approach, you can totally plunge into new experiences as long as you have the freedom to explore. You may become confused in complex situations where a specific technique or action is expected of you.
Because you were born when there was no light emanating from the Moon, your lesson is to learn your identity, who you are, and how to project it into the world. You may feel that you need to make your mark somewhere this lifetime. Magnetic and shining with personality, many actors and actresses are New Moon people working to project themselves into the spotlight as a career, having the ability to act on impulse and meeting the challenge of the moment. Self centeredness is a necessity for self development. Although the New Moon person needs a certain amount of attention, as the actor needs the audience to project to, the danger that might occur is that this projection is merely the ego bringing itself into view by casting a shadow over everything or everyone else around it. This can cause the alienation of others. It is important to remember your associations are more than the drama or symbology in which that person is involved. In a more refined approach, this projection can take the form of a purpose, or goal, an involvement that is more far reaching than the personal ego.
CRESCENT NATAL PHASE, 45 deg - 90 deg
If you were born during the Crescent Moon Phase of the Lunar Cycle...
Having passed through the darkness of the new Moon, a sliver of light has just begun to illuminate the path as the Moon embarks on it's new cycle.
Your greatest challenge is to become independent of belief systems and concepts that are part of the past. This is necessary in order to fully realize selfhood and individuality. Be aware of comfortable ruts and habitual behavior. They represent the chains of the past. As you break free, opportunities will open up to you. The first is the hardest. It may feel as though you are going against the grain. In many ways you are. As you take the initiative to make changes you may find a lot of resistance in those who are used to relating to you in a certain way. They may feel threatened by your breaking from the status quo. By asserting your will and determination you will foster belief in yourself and develop creative new vision.
FIRST QUARTER NATAL PHASE 90 deg - 135 deg
If you were born during the First Quarter Phase of the Lunar Cycle...
This is the third phase of Instinctive Action. Action is the essence of this phase, whether it is to clear the way for the idea to manifest, or to bring the essence of the idea into actualized being. You are the one that can always be expected to do the unexpected. Able to arise to the occasion, your innate impulsivity and creative ability thrive in situations that require, simultaneously, quick thinking and action.
You may feel your life is characterized by crises that you either find yourself in, or that become crises by the way you handle situations. Constant mental and/or physical movement is a natural state for you to be in as it is necessary in your instinctual approach to tearing down the old to make way for the new. This energy can be applied to the physical world as well as to ideas and concepts i.e. antiquated ways of doing things. Getting the old out of the way is more important to you than the actual building of the new. You know that progress cannot continue by living in or holding onto the past. Because you push in order to keep things moving, you may invite crisis. You can handle it. Survival is something you learn early on. Managerial skills come naturally to you, because you handle crisis so well moment to moment, you can be trusted to manage the new into existence even if there is barely a vague outline of what the new actually is. Your lesson is to manage energy which has been released by crisis and then restructure it into new form in order to get on with business.
GIBBOUS NATAL PHASE 135 deg - 180 deg
If you were born during the Gibbous Moon Phase of the Lunar Cycle...
The Gibbous Phase is a transitional Phase, with the first three phases before it operating at a more instinctual, projective and experiential approach. During the Gibbous Phase, one is growing from instinctual, spontaneous movement, to conscious, deliberate action. This is why "Analysis" and "Growth" are key words describing this phase.
You have a continual urge to make your life something of "value". Your constant analysis of how you are growing, where you are going and what you are doing helps you to create meaning in your life promoting a sense of purpose, thus, value. Self growth is important for the purpose of having an efficient operating system with which to be able to contribute to something of a more universal nature. Self revelation is one of the results of your constant questioning and evaluation of your own growth.
As a personality, analyzing yourself helps to define yourself. This allows the perfecting and refining of techniques for projecting your identity into the world.
When you went into the "why" stage of childhood you felt right at home and decided to stay there. You are likely to stand out in any group as you will need to question and understand the structure of any operation you are a part of.
Functioning efficiently is of great importance to you, perfecting what has been created. By understanding the structure of how something works, you are able to identify its working elements and can then implement them into new working patterns, promoting growth for yourself and for others. This is how you perform best. Once you have decided on some plan or course of action, it is hard for you to understand why everyone else doesn't do the same.
FULL MOON NATAL PHASE 180 deg - 225 deg
If you were born during the Full Moon Phase of the Lunar Cycle...
It is possible that in the development of your personality there may have been a pull between the mother and father functions in your life and that until you came to a "conscious realization" of what you were projecting as an individual, your identity could have been somewhat unstable. It is apparent in your direct and concise manner of speech that you communicate clearly and openly with others. Your interest in astrology goes deeper than most people and this shows your need for meaning in your life.
"Anything in the Full Moon phase implies an inherent instability in that function UNTIL the person integrates the opposing pulls of the "parts" of his personality that make up that total function. He may be torn between two ways of handling things in that part of himself. This happens so that he can come to SOME NEW AWARENESS. The phase also implies that the function is, of itself, perfected as a function. It merely needs a purpose, a meaning, a CONTENT, outside of itself, that the ILLUMINATION the opposing pulls can bring could provide. Instability is the result of NOT integrating two polar forces. When one DOES integrate opposites he has reached a culmination of perfecting complimentary forces, ability to operate for a common goal".
DISSEMINATING NATAL PHASE, 225 deg - 270 deg
If you were born during the Disseminating Phase of the Lunar Cycle...
You are a person who will leave a lasting mental impression on those you make contact with. Spreading ideas and information will be successful for you as long as you think before you act. Being born in the second stage of "conscious operation" you possess an innate objectivity with an ability to keep your eye on the big picture. It is easy for you to bypass your own ego when communicating with others so that the true essence behind the subject is able to come through. You may have a tendency to get caught up in causes. You may also tend to feel responsible to those you are attempting to enlighten. Remember , you can lead a horse to water, be careful you don't end up drinking it for them also. Once you have given the message, let go and know that you have planted the seed and passed the torch. It is now up to the receiver to take the responsibility for the gift of knowledge that has been imparted to them.
LAST QUARTER NATAL PHASE 270 deg - 315 deg
If you were born during the Third, or the Last Quarter Phase of the Lunar Cycle...
Just as it sounds, this is a time of endings, when the energy of the Moon is winding down towards the Balsamic Phase. This Phase has been characterized as a "crisis in consciousness." As the First Quarter Phase is described as a "crisis in action," the external organization of energy, creating a strong foundation to build upon, the "crisis in consciousness" is an internalized re-organization of energy.
It is a time of turning away from what has been, reflecting feelings of discontent towards those passions characteristic of the times you found it hard to relate to the status quo as a child. Perhaps you found yourself responding to the enthusiasm of the status quo with a not enthusiastic "this is it?" attitude. Always standing a little apart from your peers, you had your own internal processes at work guiding and directing you in life. You may have needed a lot of alone time. Perhaps you needed more rest as a child. Your way of processing is through the unconscious state. Naps as a child would have helped you sort life out, and meditation as an adult will give you the internal clarity needed to separate from the day to day hectic-ness so prevalent in the physical world.
You can be a master of the game, wearing the appropriate mask of participation. But what others may see isn't necessarily what they get. All the time, you are undergoing ideological transformation. As the butterfly suddenly appears from its chrysalis, you to will emerge entirely new, much to the amazement of all who thought they new you quite well.
Dreams are a vehicle for understand your internal process. Keeping a dream journal and reading your story as it unfolds can bring what is unconscious, to the light of understanding.
BALSAMIC NATAL PHASE, 315 deg - 360 deg.
If you were born during the Lunar Cycle of the Balsamic Phase...
This is a very karmic lifetime in which you are meeting all those with which you have unfinished business from the previous seven lifetimes before this one. Therefore, you may encounter many brief, but intense relationships. There is a need for completion, a sense of closure to occur concerning these individuals. This can be confusing at times. It may be helpful to ask the question either to the person or to yourself, "Is there anything I've ever needed to say, do or give to you, let me do it now. If there is anything you've needed to say, do or give to me let's not put it off any longer, let us complete it now." If you cannot finish something in person, you need to ask in meditation to be released, possibly to forgive or to be forgiven. Having a full past of prior lifetimes to reflect upon, you are a born visionary, a natural psychic with a bridge to the future.
You realized at an early age that you were different and may have pretended to be like everyone else to fend off alienation from peers. You may have been described as an unusual child, and may have even been regarded as the black sheep of the family. Others will recognize your special-ness. One of your unique qualities is to be able to take the key meaning of all situations and distill it into its wisdom essence. You can then transfer this awareness and consciousness in others to live beyond this physical life. Your commitment is to the future. By reckoning with the past, you can consciously make a break with it. You sense that something larger than yourself can manifest through you if you make the commitment to allow it to do so. For one to understand you at all one needs to look at what is happening THROUGH you. The transmission of essential knowledge is your purpose.
