Maleja - the new Moon approaching is usually the ending part of a decision process. For example, in the scenario posted about, a new Moon might show the point where someone is not only deciding to leave but is leaving. The full Moon is often like a build up of pressure and feeling things and experiencing things that help one to decide; and then after the full Moon completes, the decision process is sorted through to finish up the initial decision. The approaching waxing Moon to a full Moon is an increase in energy of something, or building up while the waning Moon after a full Moon completes into an approaching new Moon is a decrease or winding down. A new Moon completed would show the beginning of something new and shedding things of the past.

I normally view the waxing full Moon almost like a champagne bottle that has been shaken and is about to blow. Or like someone poking a bear until they no longer can take it and are ready to roar. It can also be a major milestone, like a birth or an important goal being met or a battle or important meeting like a court date. It is the peak of something. A waning full Moon can be the settling down process... making plans and decisions after the peak, tending to your wounds, energies being tired and needing to be recharged, the beginning process of an ending. It's sort of like when in a film you watch a major battle complete and everyone is tending to their wounds and need to plan to rebuild their cities and restore their government from tyranny and complete the process of their end goal.

An approaching new Moon waning can be an ending, saying your goodbyes to those living or dead, journeys completed and hopefully making peace and moving on. If not there may be a forced change that is painful. The new Moon completed and then waxing is like the beginning of a new day or journey, when the Sun is about to rise and the world is full of possibilities or options. The city is maybe rebuilt and the new government can begin to do good again. It's like starting from scratch, as long as you don't drag the past with you. Energies are just starting to build towards an end goal.

Tanit, it’s always amazing reading you, thank you so much for your feedback and great class about new and full moons. Have you tought about teaching Horary astrology? I would def pay the whole course haha..

It’s a slightly different perspective from modern astrology but not really…for example new moons are the first conversation between the Moon (emotion) and the Sun (essence), that is: emotion and essence come together and agree to work on something. This is the time in the cycle where we “seed our intentions??? because we are aligned with what we want, always keeping in mind that the manifestation of what you initiate now will be seen in six months when it is the full moon of the sign, then we have half moon, it is the second conversation that the Sun and the Moon have, it happens a week after the new moon. It is the first review point of the plan that they scheduled to execute. What catches your attention at this time is the subject that will be seen or dealt with in full light at the next full moon.

Then we have full moon: it is the third conversation between the moon and the sun, now they are face to face and there are no secrets left. It is the climax of the cycle and also the emotional climax. It represents a closure: we see a situation in full light and we cannot be indifferent. This is the moment where you see the manifestation of what you sown and worked with the new moon of the sign (six months before). In relationships in general for example just as the Moon and the Sun see each other face to face, we are seeing the other, in the sense that there are conversations and encounters... Intense. But the Moon reflects the light of the Sun and so one may be reflecting what the other exposes. We have to be as honest as possible and don't start "you/me" games.

And then we have last quarter, it is the fourth encounter between the Moon and the Sun, here a square is created between them. This phase is to draw conclusions, finish the project, see what worked and what didn't. we find the Blackmooning, it is part of the last quarter, it is the two or three days before the new moon when the satellite loses its light via the beginning of a new cycle. We take advantage of it as the moment of cleaning and reflection before the beginning of a new stage…


Thank you again Tanit
