Your Moon Phase Mission: engaging your contribution to the collective

Moon Phases are Solar-driven opportunities

 to contribute to the whole of life. 

By identifying your lunar mission

 you can work with every New Moon

to strengthen that level of engagement

Renowned astrological figure Dane Rudhyar  (1895-1985 ) had a lot to say about phases of the Moon as a signifier of inherent potentials to live a meaningful life

Rudhyar considered that we are stamped at birth with the energy of the solar-lunar phase. He placed more emphasis on this than zodiac signs.

Though as explained the Moon alone has no independent phase - it is a phase relationship with the Sun.

From reading Rudhyar the significance of his insights can be expanded into the territory of spiritual meaning underlying these two major cosmic influences.

On that basis an extended context of interpretation and explanation has been added here in some respects to his fundamental work.

The Sun is King in our little cosmic zone and the Moon is responding in service to the impulses dispatched by the Sun. 

It is a Yin Yang dynamic interplay because the contributions enabled by the activity of the Moon are fed back into the collective realm of consciousness that the Sun can be seen to orchestrate. Therefore a feedback loop is in effect.

Rudyhar says the solar energy is being released into and through the Moon as a new life impulse.

The Moon itself has no true phases so it is a term of convenience. The Moon is a reflector of light and the light reflection shape and quality varies through the lunar month. The change in light reflection is 100% relevant to the type of solar impulse carried.

With there being 8 lunation types - related to the illumination state of the Moon varying from New Moon to New Moon.

New Moon

Waxing crescent

First Quarter

Gibbous

Full Moon

Disseminating

Last quarter

Waning Crescent

Each of us responds to a particular lunation type -and at each New Moon we have our distinct way of responding to the the type of life impulse generated by the Sun at New Moon.

Each period lasts around 3.5 days.

Because of the pulling power when the sun and moon align it is resonable to expect that someone born within around a day before New or Full Moon will manifest the impulse related to that period -so the boundary line in those contexts is likely to be more fluid than 100% fixed - example: a person in the last day of the waning crescent could show New Moon qualities in addition to those for the waning crescent

The sign energy at New Moon provides factors relevant to a natal chart [where and how]  the solar impulse wants to express. The timing of that expression may peak in the person’s natal moon phase period - but the qualities identified for the moon phase are likely to be engaged as the Moon strengthens -from the window opening 3 days before exact New Moon. Then the following polarity [Full Moon] energy is likely to integrate impulses developed at and during the New to Full moon period.

We each have a Lunation Birthday worth noting withing the period of around 3-4 days - when our birth phase repeats during each lunar month - and this can be calculated more precisely to match how many degrees of separation existed from the prior New Moon before the Solar birthday.

In this context of the solar-lunar dynamic the Moon is in charge of managing everyday world functioning in our physical material dimension.

On that basis the Moon is a regulator of tidal forces that permeate the physical and electrical/energetic/ethereal bodies affecting all of our ins and outs ups and downs in mental emotional hormonal nutritional overal body-chemical environments as well as the chakras and spiritual layers.

The lunar body is intended to serve the solar purpose.

The solar purpose is collective evolutionary and based on spiritual consciousness regarding our common source: our inherent connections to all beings, all of life.

The Moon functions to enable greater awareness of that underlying dimension of reality and therefore to behave and engage with the whole of life -people animals nature knowing we are connected. 

Each lunar type is therefore given a programme to follow to contribute to the Whole.

Some examples: 

New Moon: Queen Victoria of England

Waxing Gibbous: Joe Biden Hillary Clinton Queen Elizabeth Prince Charles

Full Moon: Donald Trump

Disseminating/Waning Gibbous: Diana (Princess) Hitler

Waning Crescent: Oprah Obama Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Waxing Crescent Lukashenko

(more may be added where found based on high quality data)

The phase types from New to Full Moon are primarily around the motivators of personal behaviour.

At Full Moon the results of that behaviour are ready for assessment - have the results been fruitful or detrimental?

Full Moon qualities begin to emerge at the Gibbous period which activates outreach which Full Moon expands even further into relationship building (or termination if appropriate)

The Full to New Moon range is much more strongly involved in behaviours that impact the larger collective.

The sequence from Full Moon based on Rudhyar's ideas is :

relationships, then the spreading of ideas, the building and structuring of societal networks and systems and the elements of service to groups.

Eclipses serve to place stronger exclamation marks around your personal contribution:what you can do and how.

There is much material online and in hard copy from Rudhyar. Hopefully this interpretation and expansion of his contribution can illuminate for readers a deeper level dynamic we can easily overlook.

Every New Moon we can look at the personalised impact of the sign and house placement in our chart -but we can utilise this knowledge on a deeper level to  know what our phase energy is and how our behaviour in the world can bring a contribution to the whole.

Author's note

The June 10  2021 19 Gemini 47 solar eclipse New Moon falls within my first house and engages my Jupiter-Mars opposition from 1st to 7th as well as the vertical axis in Pisces-Virgo.

My natal lunar type is Gibbous.

What A Full Moon Means for Relationships

 

The Full Moon is an outcome of stages of growth that emerge from the New Moon.

The Sun and Moon are in a relationship - a cosmic dance. 

At the New Moon they are together unified blended One.

At the Full Moon they experience the effects of taking space separation or distance upon that relationship. 

It is the Moon moving away from the Sun

The Inner reality and Feeling state are given sanctuary behind Earth in order to be uncovered without the obscurations or domination exuded by the Sun

A different perspective is on offer: still connected but with clearly different identities.

This solar-Lunar cycle has implications for how we as humans manage our close relating contexts.

First it is worthwhile to look at the two key elements in the cycle.

We understand the New energy as a beginning and the Full energy as a completion but it is useful to explore the integration of these two energies - and not see them as distinct or separate.

As astrologers we are dealing with an inherently wholistic cosmic environment in which humans are embraced. Any non-wholistic approach is inherently flawed and incomplete. The Phases of the Moon - in particular the 2 major phases discussed here provide an insight into the relationship between these two luminaries as well as the implications for our human interactions.

As with all astrological factors a range of keywords is essential to provide a variety of refinements and potentials that are on offer for different people at different stages of growth or development - and in respect of different contexts.

                          around 5 hrs before exact in New Zealand

New Moon keyword-phrases:

Beginning. Conceiving & setting intentions. Preparation. Initiating focussed goal-oriented actions, gradual supportive development.

Full Moon Keyword-phrases:

Conclusion. Ending, settlement, agreement, termination, the end result, the product or outcome, the harvest, resolution, finish, completion.

The Full Moon potentials clearly resonate in the context of how we relate -  how we function in close human to human dynamics - whether privately or in professional roles and what dynamics accumulate over time between people. 

Where does the balance lie? How strong is the imbalance?

Considering input, contributions, power sharing. 

Is the issue control? Or emotional contribution or labour sharing or the communication channel? Is it time? or distance? or space?

Too much? Too little?

Honesty? Integrity? Greed? Selfishness? Too independent? Too clingy?

The list is long. This is an introduction. A worthwhile starting point checklist to clarify the State of the Relationship with X.

Don’t feel too disheartened. Imbalance is the inherent factor in relationships. You just need to identify name and discuss it and work on it if you want a happier result of being in a close dynamic.

The life span of a relationship or partnership varies so it is totally realistic to accept endings as well as to to apply rescuscitation.

This identification of what Full Moons are basically about for humans reflects back on the keywords and phrases that get activated by the Solar-Lunar standoff when in opposition phase.

With clarity already arising at the New Moon phase regarding Self in relationship to Other the Full Moon is primed to work in ways that offer an end product - that end product could be the establishment of the relationship on a stronger footing - or the end product of being resolved to terminate the relationship.

Processes at the waxing crescents and first Quarter Moon are critical in determining the nature of the end product.

If there is no growth, if the interim phases introduce further dis-ease or dysfunctional qualities into the relationship the harvest will be a rotten apple.

Conversely if there is supportive work done to regenerate the relationship - protect and nurture it  -the end product at Full Moon is a more fruitful harvest.

Not only is a dynamic that is set to pass away likely to decline at the Full Moon phase - the Full moon also carries the seed of the renewal or replacement energy - born from that death.

The energy is able to be transmuted into the antidote cure or new hope - if the old outlived energy that was implicated in the failed dynamic is recognised and released consciously.

So when the Full Moon delivers the ending of an unhealthy relating dynamic the only pathway to growth is to harvest awareness from that event -awareness that there is an end product to carry onwards into future relating - it is the recognition of being energetically released from a pattern of relating that has no further place in your life. It’s like carrying an emotional antidote or vaccine.

But it has to be done with full consciousness or the opportunity for protection is missed.

The old relating energy has to die and be recognised as dead before there is space and an energetic capacity for the new to manifest.

A full moon that is also in position to enable a lunar eclipse [ the proximity of the lunar nodes is relevant ] is at its strongest when closest to the nodes and when a Total Eclipse.

Connections to that event in time can arise weeks before as well as months after the official exact event. 

Look for other planets pre-activating - especially if there is a link between the issues set to arise from the eclipse and a relevant planet such as Venus or something in Libra reaching the eclipse degree some weeks earlier.

Effects afterwards - in the wake of the elipse are similarly able to be triggered by planets angled to the eclipses degree in the period up to the next eclipse season

Real Estate by Numbers

Number 2 would suit a loving couple

Everything in existence has a vibration that relates to movement and numbers get their movement by virtue of the sound waves or vibration produced when the number is spoken or thought. So this information relates to numbers as they are known in the English speaking world. Other cultures are very likely to have their own knowledge system regarding the meaning of individual numbers - and the numbers they prefer to avoid.

How does this relate to real estate or simply choosing which address to live at?
By virtue of your own personal vibration, you will attract certain locations or addresses unconsciously, but there are conscious ways of choosing too.  It helps if you have some idea of the sort of package deal you get with each number. Just as the number energy of your names are very important - and the first letter's number is extra important - the first number of your address is very important.

Firstly, browse these notes on the basic or leading numbers:

1. Best suited to single people or those couples who "do their own thing" a lot. Can be selfish neighbours.

2. The couples number - partners, people who want to be with a partner, enjoy getting on well with others

3. A writer's address or great for those who have lots of books, love to read,  for those who love pottering about at home or always in and out, lots of little local trips, walks, bike rides

4. Problematic. A burden in any form - e.g. a financial drain due to repairs, faulty renovations, hard to sell, suffers from damp or dark or cold. Not a good vibe here. Looks or easily becomes run-down. Hidden or obvious faults.  Avoid like the plague if you can. Scrooge or The Grinch would suit this address

5. A good vibe. Happiness derived from an interesting, free-wheeling, variable life

6. A domestic and family feel is easier to achieve here than under other number vibrations. A good dose of creativity here too.

7. The spiritual side of life is part of the fabric of this place

8. Suited to people in high managerial, executive career roles especially in the realm of business

9. The humanitarian household. People who care about others

Now look at combining because the final digit, from adding all numbers, is important too
So 69 =  a humanitarian family home - especially when all numbers added to reach a single digit:  6+9=15=6 

13 = a solitary writer's home -  but the reduction to 4 might involve repair or financial problems

Long numbers have more complex stories - each number tells part of the story, but give extra emphasis to the first or leading number and the final digit after adding.

A double number is a double emphasis in addition to the final digit
e.g. 44 = 4,4 =8  Problems with the dwelling but hard work and serious responsibilities could pay off career-wise.

So next time you scan the real estate with a view to buy, or you hunt for a different rental - check the numbers first

Also:
Numbers 11 and 22 are termed Master Numbers and so are not reduced to a single digit.
They both involve a strong requirement to live a life involving a higher than usual level of responsibility -or risk big problems. Both numbers show strong leadership potential but the 11 vibration is about responsibility to provide to others, using mystical or spiritual talents. So address numbers 11, 47, 74, 56, 65 are examples resulting in an 11 vibration and thus the home of a meditator, healer
The 22 is firmly grounded in civic and community responsibilities of a more managerial kind often related to government or organisations.  A highly ethical  judge, magistrate or Prime Minister or political party leader could suitably live at a number 22

DAVID... what it means to be called

• All words and sounds have a vibration and the ancient study of numerology assigns a number energy to each letter. DAVID has a number total of 22 - called a master number -indicating the capacity for high achievement and significant karmic responsibility to humanity - so many Davids become well known -David Beckham, David Bowie  - but there is the potential for fame or infamy  - several high profile murderers or accused in New Zealand are called David.

latest:

• David Seymour
• The Donald uses David as an alias

[scroll to end]

David Turpin imprisoned his children

David Bain denied killing his whole family; he was first convicted, then later acquitted in a second trial.  ( trial evidence included a rape fantasy Bain wrote about). Another, David Tamihere denies killing two Swedish tourists. He served a lengthy time in prison. 
Where does this problematic energy come from? The energy of the letters D and V which feature at the beginning, middle and end of  D A V I D . 
These letters all have a number 4 vibration which connects to the energy of the planet Saturn.
Saturn both gives high achievement potential but also difficulties, struggles. The letters D and V (along with M) all bring a tendency to worry. 
DAVID as a name contains a triple whammy here with D-V-D.


The song Psycho Killer was written by David Byrne

David Birnie was an Australian serial killer
David Berkowitz, David Maust  David J Carpenter, David Leonard Wood, David Ray Parker, David Bullock, David Allen Lucas are American serial killers

David Fincher has directed several serial killer genre movies - Zodiac, 7, Mindhunter
David Tua is a NZ boxer who aspired to but struggled to make the big time
David Chapman shot John Lennon



Ultimately David is a vibration that seeks power or authority so many with this name seek the power of political life -David Cameron, David Cunliffe, David Carter, David Lange, ministers, prime ministers, senators are found with this name but the potential for infamy is also there - as seen when you google "david scandal" - and sex comes up as the vice in question when linked to Beckham, Letterman, Arquette, Copperfield (magician), Smail (golfer) and many, many more.

So if it is power craved, but power denied, frustrated, the inclination of the DAVID vibration is to turn to seeking power over others - whether in general controlling behaviours or at worst through sex or violence: rape, torture, murder and serial killing then enter the picture.

Artists or creators called David may channel these urges through their creative imagination - films, painting etc.-eg David Jacobson writer/director of a film about serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer

So not all David's kill or become infamous, and not all killers are called David - the potentials can be either suppressed or expressed.
More factors can come into play that provide checks & balances. Urges can be restrained, sublimated, projected onto others or simply visited in terms of fantasy, but there is an intriguing association with this name and the striving for power, by any means, literally or by proxy.

Writer Jim Marrs says in the ancient world of Mesopotamia  the name David = Davidum was a title not a personal name.

The Davidum was the equivalent of a Caesar or Emperor.

Next time you meet a David, keep this in mind....

April 2018

NZ power-seeking politician David Seymour is regularly in the media. He belongs to a political party of one called ACT and is still breathing having been given resuscitation by the previous governing party. In real terms he is powerless now that an opposing coalition is in government. But this is no impediment when it comes to bold claims and attacks on alternate viewpoints
This recent hyperbolic tweet is indicative of a man dominating his own private universe:
