Full Moons or New Moons Spaced 3 Months Apart Narrate a Chapter in the Same Story

Full moons and new moons occur ALMOST at the same degree of successive signs month after month, shifting position backwards by a degree on average throughout the year. For example let us take full moon degrees of 2017.

January 2017 – 22.28 Cancer

February 2017 – 22.28 Leo

March 2017 – 22.13 Virgo

April 2017 – 21.33 Libra

May 2017 – 20.25 Scorpio

June 2017 – 18.53 Sagittarius

July 2017 – 17.09 Capricorn

August 2017 – 15.25 Aquarius

September 2017 – 13.53 Pisces

October 2017- 12.43 Aries

November 2017 – 11.59 Taurus

December 2017 – 11.41 Gemini

02 January 2018 – 11.36 Cancer

31 January 2018 (January blue moon in lieu of February moon) – 11.36 Leo

March 2018 – 11.23 Virgo

The degrees slip back by a few minutes around the end/beginning of the year while they slip back by about 1.5 degrees around the middle of the year.  We also see that January and February moons are almost at the same degree every year. This is the reason why modern calendar setters have chosen the second month of the year (February) to be the shortest month. This anomaly is caused by the wobbly orbit of the moon which is not uniform through the year.

Firstly, we know what triggers events are transits to the natal/progressed chart including moon’s transits. We also know that hard transits (conjunctions, oppositions and squares) have more impact than soft transits (Trines, Sextiles).

Secondly, we know from experience, that significant life events never occur in isolation in a vacuum.  They occur in the form of a story unfolding over a period of time. So how do transits tie up with ‘stories’?

Let us take a situation when you have a mega moon transit (New moon, Full moon or especially Eclipse) coming up upon any of your key planets, shortly. You could always look to the moon occurring 3 months prior to the targeted transit to find clues to what might take place. It is because, the 3 month prior moon will be hard aspecting the same planet since it will be occurring almost at the same degree as the targeted moon; particularly when the 2 moons are happening close to the end/beginning of a year.

If the targeted transit is a full moon CONJUNCTION to a natal planet then the 3 month prior full moon will be a SQUARE to the same planet. For example, the February 2018 full moon, which is a lunar eclipse, will be at 11.36 Leo, conjuncting whatever planet placed there natally. Now take the November 2017 full moon which will be at 11.59 Taurus.  Surely this will square the same natal planet in Leo.

So we know that the November 2017 full moon will shed light on an important page in the story which is set to climax at the time of the February 2018 eclipse.  It will be two pages or chapters in the same story. How do we then differentiate between run-up and climax chapters of the story? In other words how do we know whether our story is gathering traction or fading out? 

We will know that the climax will be in February and the run up will be in November, due to two reasons.

a)      A lunar eclipse is always more powerful than a regular full moon.

b)      A conjunction aspect is always more powerful than a square aspect.

In case the ‘eclipse conjunction’ happened first and the ‘regular moon square’ happened 3 months LATER, then it would be a case of the story winding down; climax happens first and the milder after-effects or closure happens later.
