Living in Tune with the Sun & Moon This is an excellent workshop for both beginner students of Astrology as well as those of you who are more advanced. For beginners in addition to learning to identify the symbols for the planets, sign and aspects, you learn to apply your knowledge right away in your own life. For more advanced students it tunes you in to the immediate and accessible realities of the lunar influences that you may well have overlooked while delving into all the deeper and more complex background, lore and science of Astrology. The only tool that you need to follow the Moon and planetary cycles is a Pocket Astrologer. This handy information booklet easily designates both the phase of the Moon on any given day as well as the aspects it makes to the other planets. Watching the phases and the aspects of the Moon is fun, fascinating and practically useful. However, even this simple and accessible booklet can be intimidating at first glance and it can be very helpful for someone, especially a professional Astrologer, to introduce it as a user friendly tool. Persons who might be especially interested in this course are those who are particularly sensitive to the Moon. In Astrology such a person is recognized as a “Lunar Type” as opposed to a Solar type of person. It is safe to say that our society is very solar type oriented and perhaps unbalanced as a consequence of this excess. Solar types are generally very outcome oriented and linear as opposed to process oriented and intuitive and tend to assert more personality than soul. Lunar types are generally very sensitive, quite introverted, quiet, shy, moody, reactive, poetic, artistic, reflective, nurturing, imaginative, impressionable and meditative etcetera. While females may generally be more susceptible to Moon cycles and currents, so too are many males. In fact, everyone is sensitive to the Moon to some degree, yet usually unaware how and to what degree and that by knowing more about it they could create more balance and health. There are many rich subtleties present in any given moment that come from being more in tune and receptive to other people and life in general by way of being in tune with the moon. As we are living in a very solar world where outcomes are often more important than processes and where personalities are more evident than souls, lunar influences are often overlooked. The result is that lunar types both misunderstand their own nature and are often misunderstood by others. Consequently, these people often suffer from confusion, depression, isolation, mood swings, insecurity, reactivity, defensiveness and self-doubt etcetera. Fortunately, we are re-awakening to and can now learn to use tools that do help, as in a Pocket Astrologer The following list provides several other good reasons to attend this 1-day workshop: - Learning to Live in Tune with the Moon is an excellent way to actually experience the influences of the Moon and other planets. This helps to be more self aware and sensitive to the mood shifts and patterns of your family and friends. - - - - - -
A Revealing Moon Mystery As I write this reflection, a clear and dark night sky is host once again to a perfect Half Moon. As a professional Astrologer, I study the inner meaning behind the nature of the Moon for people every day. This one aspect within a whole chart truly offers a powerful key for self-understanding and destiny. A principle factor that I assess in a client’s birth chart is the Moon’s Phase. This tells whether the Moon is New or Full, Waxing or Waning. It is a marvelous fact that with this basic amount of information, a person’s basic character and values are revealed. Further, the phase outlines three other phases – one phase for each day in a 28 day Lunar Cycle – and each amounts to 21 years indicating major life shifts at the ages of 21, 42, 63 and 84. Think about this cycle in your own life. Do you know the phase and shape of the Moon when you were born? This model is accurate and is not determined by the fact that some people will live longer than 84 years while others will live fewer years. Beyond timing, these turning points indicate strong themes that people are destined to live out, whether they know it, or believe it, or not. To the modern mind, the significance of the Moon may seem romantic and arbitrary. Yet, without it the human race would probably not survive, at least not in a recognizable and healthy manner. The reasons for this are many and the most significant one is that the Moon has a very psychic influence upon us. The root meaning of the word “psychic” is soul. In Astrology, the Moon plays a vital role in giving form and shape to the physical aspect of life. The Moon is understood in esoteric lore to correspond most closely to the “Etheric Body”. This body is the one that is the closest non-physical “Auric Layer” that surrounds the physical body. This subtle body acts like a web that receives information from what is known as the “Causal and the Astral Planes”. The Causal Plane is the home of all archetypes while the Astral Plane is, to put is succinctly, a vast dimension of emotion and imagination. Thus, the Moon as receiver is significant within this vast system, especially to life here on Earth. All transmissions require reception to be heard. By analogy, there is a great deal of hidden or ‘esoteric’ knowledge, imagination and ingenuity behind what appears on a computer screen. Without the Moon, there would be no connection to source or, as with the computer, there would be no hook-up to the World Wide Web. How nature works remains largely a grand mystery. We have certainly learned and gained some of Nature’s Secrets. Astrology as a working system is testimony to the fact that the intelligence of nature is such that the creation includes the ability to interpret its intention. An immediate and obvious means of interpretation is observing the Moon as at it waxes and wanes. The Moon truly is a key to life.
