The Edge Magazine published an article that I wrote for their April 2020 issue. The featured topic for this month's issue is You, Unplugged, and the assignment was to share reasons to disconnect from technology and ways to return to our natural state without relying on apps or games or news feeds to get us through the day. You can read about my serendipitous encounter with a monarch butterfly here.

Birth Moon Phase

One of the first things I learned about my astrological makeup was what the phase of the Moon was at the moment of my birth. It was cool to see what the Moon looked like on the day I was born, and it was later interesting to learn how the phase of the Moon reflected my personality. Using the Moon Phases calculator, you can see what the phase of the Moon was at the moment of your birth. Simply select the month and year you were born, and then click on the day you were born on the calendar. Following are descriptions for the eight phases of the Moon from Douglas Bloch's and Demetra George's fantastic workbook, Astrology for Yourself (this is a great introductory book for learning about your astrology). Let me know, if you resonate with your Moon phase and sign!

Note: Moonstone is the talisman of the Moon, and it is beneficial for inner growth and strength, calmness and relaxation. It also enhances intuition and promotes success and good fortune in love and business. Buddha Groove sells beautiful moonstone jewelry, as well as other gorgeous gifts. Check out their Moonstone items, below.

Phase 1: New Moon -- Emergence
Initiating a new cycle. Projection of personality and plunging into new experiences in spontaneous and instinctive ways.

Phase 2: Waxing Crescent Moon -- Struggle
Struggling away from the inertia and dependence of past conditions and mobilizing resources to assert self in a forward direction.

Phase 3: First Quarter Moon -- Action
Taking direct action and managing energy released from crisis situations. Tearing down old structures, building new ones.

Phase 4: Waxing Gibbous Moon -- Perfection
Analyzing self-expression, perfecting techniques and forms. Introspection and questing for revelation.

Phase 5: Full Moon -- Illumination
Infusing meaning and content into life structures. Searching for the ideal, fulfillment through relationship.

Phase 6: Disseminating/Waning Gibbous Moon -- Distribution
The synthesis and dissemination of ideas. Sharing and communicating what you have learned from experiences so they may be of value.

Phase 7: Last/Third Quarter Moon -- Reorientation
Crisis in consciousness. Turning away from old accomplishments and following new inspirations. Difficulty in externalizing until complete change occurs.

Phase 8: Balsamic/Waning Crescent Moon -- Distillation
Distilling wisdom essence from entire cycle as legacy for others. The completion of karma. Transformation. Commitment to the future.
