Lunar astrology

The immutable journey of the Moon across the sky is a source of energy and a force that always influences us. Some aspects of the Moon’s influence are constant, fairly predictable, and can be considered a constant factor, while others are constantly changing. Each New Moon occurs under a certain astrological sign and falls on the same solar month every year. The same applies to the Full Moon. The Full Moon in Taurus shines every year when the Sun is in the sign of Scorpio, opposite Taurus. And the New Moon in Taurus coincides with the Sun’s presence in the same sign. This regularity doesn’t prevent the New Moons and Full Moons from falling on different days of the same month each year.

The energetic influence of the Moon on our body, mind, and soul is both constant and variable at the same time, just like its physical presence in our lives. The constancy is based on the cyclical movement of the Moon along the same well-established path. The variability lies in the different influences of astrological signs and lunar phases. The Moon transitions from sign to sign, from one phase to another, and its influence on us changes both in content and intensity.

In addition to these variable factors, there are countless combinations of specific astrological signs and lunar phases in which the Moon can be during one lunar-solar cycle, and we experience their influence as well. The lunar-solar cycle is a regularly repeated nineteen-year cycle of the Moon’s movement. It was discovered by an Athenian astronomer named Meton. Approximately every nine years, the New Moon falls on the same day of the year. And this fact alone makes the Moon simultaneously predictable from a mathematical point of view and extremely unpredictable.

The information presented can be considered one of the possible variants of lunar influence. Comparing this information with our own experience will help us understand ourselves and serve as a basis for understanding the changes that occur to us as the Moon travels its celestial path.
