The Moon

In Astrology the Moon is an important part of your birth chart. The
phases of the Moon are shown as eight types.
New Moon type - the Moon less than 45º ahead of the Sun.
The position of the Moon in your chart shows that you respond to those around you in an
instinctive, subjective and often impulsive way, giving the impression that you are not
quite in touch with reality. You will need to find your true self to make the best use of
these abilities.

Crescent Moon type - the Moon from 45º to 90º ahead of the Sun.
The position of the Moon in your chart shows that you feel that the new should replace
the old and you are compelled to take action to ensure obstacles against this are
removed. By taking action you are able to believe in yourself and your abilities.

First Quarter type - the Moon 90º to 135º ahead of the Sun.
The position of the Moon in your chart shows that you feel you have the strength to
promote new ideals to those around you and even to become forceful in order to achieve
your aims. You will prefer constructive activity and see it as a way of laying foundations for
the future.

Gibbous Moon type - the Moon 135º to 180º ahead of the Sun.
The position of the Moon in your chart shows that you feel the need to give much
attention to your personal growth and development. You see this as a way for you to
contribute something of value to society which is in line with your understanding of the
bigger picture in life.

Full Moon type - the Moon 180º to 135º behind the Sun.
The position of the Moon in your chart shows that you have a clear view of reality and the
ability to (subconsciously) develop your own spiritual growth. You are most likely to
become aware of this and feel its positive effects when you have become able to break
away from the past.

Disseminating type - the Moon 135º to 90º behind the Sun.
The position of the Moon in your chart shows that you have a great desire to pass on the
knowledge you have gained to those around you. You may become involved in a cause
that you feel very strongly about, but you should take care not to become fanatical
otherwise your message to others may not get through.

Last Quarter type - the Moon 90º to 45º behind the Sun.
The position of the Moon in your chart shows that you have the ability to convert ideas
into something that will be of use to those around you. These ideas will most probably
come through some type of conflict you feel within yourself or with society as a whole.
Your appearance of inflexibility will be compensated for by your strong sense of humour.

Balsamic Moon type - the Moon less than 45º behind the Sun.
The position of the Moon in your chart shows that you are more inclined to look to the
future for better times and with a feeling that they most certainly result from your actions
in the present. Dwelling on the past will not be part of your nature as you look ahead in a
visionary way.

Fortuna  - This is not a phase of the Moon but a point that is calculated from the
positions of the Sun, Moon and Ascendant. It shows where you find your
treasure/happiness.
