Hello Kayoko,
Here's your Personal Reading, it is finished and complete with all the information you need to completely enjoy your Lunar Transit and all the positive changes ahead for you. You'll have plenty to read you should pay attention to every detail and every information I've provided because they are all important.
The first thing we need to look at is the fact that over the next two years, the planetary configurations multiply at a crazy speed. For the past 15 years I've studied the planets, and to be honest I've never seen such an active astral sky ... this promises many changes, especially for you Kayoko.
Here's how this Reading is laid out. I worked with a very good friend of mine, Linda, who is a renowned astrologer and colleague with whom I work every day. We compare our research and predictions, to bring you sure and reliable results. I worked on fully detailed astral predictions for you, which will provide you with comprehensive and detailed advice, day by day for all the coming Transit. Your study also contains certain Ebooks that I have written myself and which are quite unique, you will not find these publications anywhere else as I prefer to give them only to certain clients. And last but not least, I have worked on a guide for you for the coming year which you'll find below and gives you precise information about all the most intense moments.
So let's start with the most important dates in the next coming period for you Kayoko. You must take careful note of these dates as you'll need to remember their significance through the coming year and make sure that you are well prepared to receive them. These are fundamentally important dates for you Kayoko. Although I have worked on an extended day-by-day horoscope for you (which you can read by clicking on the appropriate link above) I wanted to do something special by isolating the certain dates that will be very important for you and which deserve to be discussed in detail. This does not mean that nothing happens outside of these times, your daily horoscope shows you just how intense your year will be, but these dates are precise moments during the year when very particular transits will influence you very strongly.
- Thursday, July 07th 2016
- between Monday, July 18th 2016 and Thursday, July 28th 2016, more precisely the Wednesday, July 20th 2016, Thursday, July 21st 2016, Friday, July 22nd 2016 and Monday, July 25th 2016.
- Tuesday, August 09th 2016
- Saturday, August 13th 2016
- Saturday, August 20th 2016
- Friday, August 26th 2016
- Monday, August 29th 2016, Tuesday, August 30th 2016, Wednesday, August 31st 2016
- between Saturday, September 03rd 2016 and Thursday, September 08th 2016.
- Monday, September 19th 2016
The Thursday, July 07th 2016 is particularly important because it will mark a single astral event which will happen again for the next 12 years. This single date will see not only a powerful transit (which is a conjunction between two planets) between Uranus and Jupiter but also an eclipse of the Moon. The repercussions on your future will be considerable, Kayoko. To be a little more precise, these two powerful transits will take you in a new direction, a direction which will set you firmly on the road to certain chances and opportunities which you will need to make the most of over Lunar Transit. These transits will make you path a lot more clear. You will need to listen to your instincts over this day because they will lead you in just the right direction. You'll be as lucid as you've never been before and you must use this day to open the doors to the good directions for your future. You will be serene and lucid and you need to maintain this lucidity, you will need to relax and learn to listen to your mind because your natural instincts will lead you to just the place where you will need to be. So make an attempt to isolate yourself in a natural environment, in quiet areas with few other people around. This day will bring you a startling level of personal clairvoyance and you must take note of all the ideas which occur to you and the directions which seem right to take. I should warn you though that at the end of the day you will feel exhausted because all this concentration and sensibility will take a lot of energy. It is essential that you remain in a positive frame of mind and in a favorable environment which will be not in any way harmful to you. You need to make sure you are not in contact with anyone who could confuse or distract you and make you miss your step on this road which the Stars want to set you on. So remember, it is very important you make the effort to retain only positive ideas and your path will soon become clear. This is the day that will open the doors to your destiny so make sure that you pay very great attention to the messages the stars try to send you. Stay positive, stay far away from anything potentially negative, stay calm and lucid and your path will appear clearly to you. This day represents your first few steps in a new and very profitable direction Kayoko.
Let's move on to the next set of dates. During the period from Monday, July 18th 2016 to Thursday, July 28th 2016, you will be directly under the influence of Jupiter again but this time around the planet's influence will last a lot longer. You'll be in 'action' mode and you'll need to make the most of all the opportunities which will be offered to you. Your configuration shows very clearly that the Wednesday, July 20th 2016, Thursday, July 21st 2016 Friday, July 22nd 2016 an important opportunity will present to you at a professional level. You must seize this opportunity. You'll need to stay alert over this period, I'd be lying if I told you that astrology is a very precise science and all your stars indicate is that these particular 3 days will offer you a particularly important professional opportunity which you must seize because this opportunity will bring a great many changes but I cannot see exactly when or how this opportunity will present itself. So stay alert! Open your heart and mind, Thursday, July 07th 2016 will have shown you just how important it is to let your body guide you and by the end of this same month you will be confident enough to listen to your instincts. Your destiny lies in your own hands over these few days and you must be ready to jump on the professional opportunity as and when it presents itself. Trust yourself and listen to your heart, it will give you sufficient warning.
This rest of this period up to Thursday, July 28th 2016 will be marked by the powerful influence of a fabulous Jupiter transit. The period that you will be dealing will be a positive period and you must approach it as such, because Jupiter is a source of great happiness. I must insist on the fact that, according to the writings, the ancient astrologers thought Jupiter brought only good and positive events in life and they therefore named the planet The Greater Benefic (which means the greatest fortune). But nothing in this world is entirely good nor bad. You know that the positivity or negativity of a planetary force depends largely on it's position in native Mizosn (one of the planet's native aspects), the current ruling House and the exact degree of it's position but mostly it depends on your past karmic actions and your attitude, your frame of mind and your ability to adjust to the planet's energy. Just bear in mind Kayoko that if any little upset occurs over this period, and little upsets are sure to crop up because they are an inevitable part of daily life as we both know, then you need to brush them aside and not worry yourself unduly. These upsets are just the little worries of life and are not particularly important . Jupiter will teach you how to adopt a positive attitude and you'll take these little upsets in your stride.
I've mentioned your karma Kayoko and you'll soon see why. During the period from Monday, July 18th 2016 to Thursday, July 28th 2016 you'll need to work the hardest on your personal karma and Jupiter is going to help you a lot. The planet will help you to understand many things in your life and remove old stumbling blocks which you have accumulated in the past. Karma is quite simply the payment for the conscious choices we make in life and these decisions determine our future situation. Your natal chart Kayoko shows very clearly that certain choices you made a few years ago have led you to the place you now find yourself in and that you are reaping a somewhat meager harvest. Your Karma seems to be somewhat negative and the disruptive events which you've been through recently attest to this. But don't worry Kayoko! You must remember that the Future is not yet written in stone, you can forge your own future and this period from Monday, July 18th 2016 to Thursday, July 28th 2016 will help you to rebalance your positive karma, under the beneficial influence of Jupiter. You'll be able to redress your karmic balance and clear the stumbling blocks which trip you up at the moment, you'll be able to bathe in the radiantly positive energy of Jupiter over these coming months and you must make an effort to evacuate all negative thoughts, fears and worries. I know that this will be a difficult thing for you to accomplish and that is why I wrote this guide for you, it is essential that you come back often to this reading because it will give you the strength to combat any negativity and the confidence to move ahead with strength and power. Jupiter is going to help and support you too, all you need to remember is that your destiny is between your own two hands and that you have the force and the right to forge your own future and to make the most of all the chances your life will bring you. The positive influences of this period will act directly upon your main Chakras, the physical points of energy in your body. You will feel fresh and re-energized as the Jupiter transit extends it's influence over you and recharges your personal store of energy. I will be with you during this period, I will be thinking of you and sending you all the positive energy that I can and I hope to give you the strength you need to overcome any negative elements in your life which could prevent you from making the most of this transit. You will be able to reconstitute your personal energy, your Chakra will boil with power and you will certainly feel reborn, you'll feel strength and confidence infuse you and you'll be able to firmly grasp all of the opportunities which will be offered to you. Your personal energy will be recharged and your Karma rebalanced, what more could you ask for?!
This period runs from Monday, July 18th 2016 to Thursday, July 28th 2016 because Jupiter will shift position from Pisces to Aries before entering Taurus, a startling movement which means that it's influence will extend over almost all the different aspects of your life. This is a rare movement as Jupiter is used to spending much longer in a single Zodiac sign. Jupiter is changing it's habits and you must change yours. The first lesson you must learn is to open yourself up to new emotions and new experiences, this is the only way you will be able to reinvigorate yourself and drink in all of the positivity which this great planet will send your way. You must learn to look at the world with curiosity and enthusiasm and above all to go about your day with energy and positivism otherwise you will put up barriers and you will not be able to feel the full influence of Jupiter over this period. Jupiter's transits, be they direct or trine transits, correspond to moments of fulfillment; financial, professional, and familial satisfaction and all sorts of distinctions, success, promotions as well as extreme emotional well-being.
This leads us straight to the next period, Monday, July 25th 2016 and Tuesday, July 26th 2016 , which will bring further developments as far as your emotional well-being is concerned. These dates are important for your love life because not only will you be under the positive influence of Jupiter but you will also be bask in the glow of a Venus and Jupiter conjunction. The effects of Venus, the mythical planet of love, will be magnified by the Jupiter transit over these two days. You can expect some good news, entirely unexpected good news. You may not realize the full potential of these two days straight away but over the longer term you will understand that these dates represented a major turning point in your love life. And the best thing of all is that you have nothing to do! For once the planetary configuration smiles on you and good fortune will simply rain down on you, these two days will bring you unexpected developments in your love life without you having to lift a finger to provoke them!
Tuesday, August 09th 2016 is another date that you must aware of, because this is the day when Uranus will shift into a very interesting transit. Interesting and slightly worrying to be honest with you. It seems clear that you will make an unusual encounter in a usual place on this day. It also seems clear that you will be seduced by this encounter and you may let yourself get closer to this person than you really should. This person is sure to affect your life in a fairly negative way, much further down the line. You won't notice this straight away of course as this person will be particularly seducing. So I advise you to avoid all encounters on this particular day, don't travel anywhere and don't visit any of your usual haunts. Take this as a personal day and spend some time by yourself, you may feel a little lonely but trust me, this is far preferable to meeting someone who is sure to be very disruptive in your life. My advice only applies to this particular day of course, as soon as the sun rises on the Wednesday, August 10th 2016, get up and go about your life as normal.
Saturday, August 13th 2016 is another important date and I should mention at this point that the number 4 will play an important role over the whole of this Transit both as a date and a number in other situations. Pay special attention to this number whenever it crops up. Anyway, as I was saying, Saturday, August 13th 2016 is the day when Neptune completes its 169 year cycle through the 12 Signs of the Zodiac and this will have an impact on your configuration Kayoko. Neptune's transit will have important consequences for your financial projects, projects which you take on over this periodbut also over the following few years. Now this day is not the only financially important day over the Lunar Transit but it is significant which is why I talk about it here. It seems that Saturday, August 13th 2016 will bring you a number of online opportunities, virtual chances in the financial sector, so I urge you to be active on the Internet during this day. You'll need to surf around and explore a lot of different directions. Unfortunately the indications are not clear enough in your astral configuration to pinpoint the exact nature of this opportunity (astrology does has it's limits!) but I can see that you'll come across something exciting on the internet on this day and that the opportunity involves a large sum of money. Jupiter's influence will still be very active at this time, balancing your Karma and charging your physical Chakra, and so you won't be wasting any time online. Any direction will be a good direction. Jupiter will help you to avoid pitfalls so be curious and explore any number of websites and spend time talking and clicking online. However this is not the only financially important date of the year, as I have said. There will be others which I will speak about later.
Saturday, August 20th 2016, Sunday, August 21st 2016, Monday, August 22nd 2016 and Tuesday, August 23rd 2016 your astral sky will be particularly sensitive. A Solar Eclipse will take place on the Saturday, August 20th 2016 and this will influence the next few days, Sunday, August 21st 2016, Monday, August 22nd 2016 and Tuesday, August 23rd 2016. This partial eclipse will be reinforced by a Mars Transit and a favorable Moon, a double whammy which will directly influence your chances of making two important encounters. As you now know, this is the time of important encounters in your life. Encounters you should avoid and other encounters, like these two, which you must run towards with open arms. Over these few days in September you can expect to make a new and exciting encounter and you can also expect to see someone from your past come back into your life, in a very positive and exciting way. Now, this first encounter should take place through mutual friends and the introduction will be made by someone you already know well or who is part of your circle of friends. So my advice to you over this period is to be as active as possible; go out and meet your friends, go on dates, take part in events and meetings and get yourself out on the social scene. You'll need to be as dynamic as possible and you should surround yourself with people you you feel comfortable with. The person you'll meet will play a very important role in your life, in a number of different ways and for a number of years to come. As far as the 'comeback' is concerned, this person is sure to be someone who means or meant a great deal to you, someone who you were close to you but who you have since lost close contact with. And once again Kayoko, you are in luck! You have nothing to do to provoke this encounter. This person will simply jump into your life of his or her own accord. Just make sure that you have a welcoming smile.
And so we come to Friday, August 26th 2016 and Monday, September 19th 2016. If you do not mind I will deal with these two dates a little later on because I will need to discuss a couple of Lunar Eclipses with you. The Moon plays a large role in your life over the Lunar Transit and later on in this text I will discuss it's influence in a little more detail. I would like you to understand how the Moon works in astrology and how this planet (because yes it is a planet in astrological terms) will influence you.
Monday, August 29th 2016, Tuesday, August 30th 2016, Wednesday, August 31st 2016 you will find yourself under the influence of Venus. I will even go so far as to say that Venus will be at the pinnacle of it's strength in your configuration at this time and that it's love and warmth will shine over you; Venus' zeal and cosmic radiation will have rarely been so powerful in your life. What does this mean? Well this means that you can expect a very positive and influential event to occur in your love life which will take you in a new and exciting direction. It seems that these 3 days will be soothing, beneficial and favorable for you because the influence of Venus will allow you to repair your love life and by this I mean that you will be able to shift your vision of your love life and to change your goals, goals which often seem idealistic and overly sentimental. You'll be able to relativize certain aspects of your love life and dispose of some of your doubts and fears about this aspect of your life. You'll come out of these 3 days shining with happiness and joy because your heart will overflow with the pleasure and satisfaction that this excellent news will bring you.
I know you want me to be more precise about the events over these 3 days, but we run bang into the limitations of astrology. Some directions appear clearer than others however it is difficult determine more precisely the nature of the joy and happiness in your love life because this particular Transit concerns a Venus rotation, a rapidly changing and dynamic transit which is affected by a number of external factors including your own implication. As I have said before your fate is in your own hands and every one of your positive actions during this time is certain to adapt Venus' influence. Kayoko, in order to make the most of this particularly beneficial opportunity in your love life you are going to need to act decisively and make sure and intelligent choices. So even if the details are rather murky what is sure is that this particular Transit will bring you some very good news which will have a considerable impact on your love life for many years to come. I am also sure that it is important that you change your habits during these 3 days (Monday, August 29th 2016, Tuesday, August 30th 2016,Wednesday, August 31st 2016) and I think you should look into the possibility of travel, you don't need to go very far however travel does seem to be the key to this Venus' transit.
Saturday, September 03rd 2016 to Thursday, September 08th 2016 will be very intense Kayoko. This period demands that you work on your hopes, wishes and dreams and on certain aspects of your personality. You will be liberated from your Past and you will free yourself from previous constraints. This type of transit is one of the reasons that this period is so important for you Kayoko because in addition to the number of beneficial chances and opportunities in the professional and financial spheres of your life, you will also have the chance to work on your personality. The year will mark a renewal and deep change in yourself. In order to understand why you can expect such renewal you will need to understand the workings of Pluto's conjunction with the Galactic Center, it's a little complex but it is important to discuss Pluto in detail at this point.
So what is this conjunction and what exactly does this mean for you Kayoko?
Our solar system spirals and pinwheels its way about the powerful center of the galaxy and to put it in literal terms, the Sun maintains the same relationship to the Galactic Center as the Earth does to the Sun. The Sun revolves about the Galactic Core taking roughly 240 million years to accomplish the task. Some 30,000 light years from center and slightly south of the Galactic equator, our Sun resides in between the two arms of the galaxy, the Perseus Arm and the Sagittarius Arm. To view the Galactic Center, we must look through the Sagittarius Arm, also known as the Southern Stream. This stream contains a proliferation of galactic players such as stars and pulsars, justifying the greater amount of stars and energy underwriting the signs of Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn and many others of our Zodiac.
On a purely technical level (this is common knowledge to all professional Astrologers and I thought it would be useful to share this with you at this point) the Pluto/Galactic Center conjunction can be found at the following astrological position:
- Longitude (tropical): 26 Sagittarius 51 14 (all positions epoch 2000.0)
- Latitude: 05 S 36
- Longitude Sidereal: 02 Sagittarius 07 03
- Right Ascension 265 39 17
- Declination: 29 S 00
The Galactic Center is so active that Astrologers could think of it in planetary terms, since that is what most Astrologers seem most comfortable with. I look at the Galactic Center by house position in every chart, and the Sagittarius theme works well. Solar arcs and transits to this spot in every chart bring up travel, educational, spiritual and philosophical themes and a profound encounter of faith and belief occurs almost every time the Center appears strongly in a person's natal chart!
What is so very interesting about the Galactic Center Kayoko is that it recently received verification that it contains a black hole as its center. The resulting energy of this intense point in space pressures the subconscious mind, providing the release of learned behavior and memories, both negative and positive, all in the interest of moving forward.
Space is cleared to allow you to open yourself up for new information to enter both your conscious and subconscious minds. Often the information released does not follow a particular pattern, some gaps are left in your knowledge and to you need time to access this information, to rearrange the data and re-pack it.
The Galactic Center's powerful jolt to the energy field naturally induces the release of past memories that preclude you from making progress in life and you will finally be able to move forward. I know that sometimes progress is terrifying and letting go of old concepts, regardless of their flaws, does not come easily. This is why you need to be ready for the Lunar Transit and, again, this is why I have chosen to produce your Full Forecast for the next three months, simply because you are going to have to learn to have more confidence in yourself and to stop under-estimating your skills. This is one of the keys to your success and it is something we all need, greater understanding of ourselves for greater confidence in our actions and greater success in achieving our goals.
Astrology is an extra-ordinary means of determining the trends of a particular period and the influences of particularly favorable moments and the choices which are available (as you will see in your Forecast, which you can access by clicking the 'Your Full Three-Months Forecast Report' link above) but each one of us remains the master of our own destinies. As a matter of fact this is what makes life so very interesting, nothing is yet written in stone and through Astrology and other esoteric sciences we are able to correctly identify the particularly influential periods, the direction in which our choices can lead us and the strategy which we should adopt when meeting people and dealing with events. Bear in mind that Astrology is a superb forecasting tool but it is you that remains the unique master of your own destiny.
This is precisely what makes Pluto's conjunction with the Galactic Center so important for you over the transit Kayoko, the energy of this configuration will help you to cleanse your mind and free yourself from the events of your past.
I know that you are currently living in a situation which the events of your past have forced you into living, this is shown very clearly in your Astrological Configuration. I know that you still have certain elements of your past firmly in mind and this is not a problem but you are going to have to make an effort to free yourself from certain elements of your past so that you are free to live new experiences and make new encounters. By liberating yourself you will also avoid making the same errors which you have made before and I can illustrate what I mean with a very simple example.
A short while ago Kayoko I was visiting an aquarium with my family and my attention was drawn by a tortoise which was swimming gracefully in a large basin. What surprised me was that each time the tortoise passed in front of a particular point in the basin it banged its head and front feet against the glass. This never seem to hurt it particularly but it always seemed a little surprised at the impact. As a matter of fact the tortoise endlessly repeated exactly the same actions at each new tour of the basin without really realizing what it was doing.
So you can see why it is so important for you to detach yourself from your past experiences, which have been enriching but the person who you will meet during these favorable periods (and I will go on to tell you more about this in just a minute) is so different from the people you have met in the past and is so different from the type of person your currently have in mind that you are going to have to react in a very different manner. I know what you are thinking now and let me reassure you... you are going to be very pleasantly surprised!
The Galactic Center will bring you great personal changes and also carries strong influence in technological breakthroughs, the energy which it brings does not have a great impact on the natural processes of our planet but rather on the minds of the people who live on it, changing held ideas and prompting growth and progression and then we, as citizens of the Planet Earth, make the changes that will shape our lives in the future.
For example, when the Wright Brothers successfully flew their mechanized aircraft on the beaches of North Carolina in December 1903, the Galactic Center constituted the midpoint of the Sun/Uranus conjunction in late Sagittarius. So, the Galactic Center perpetually plays a part in aviation, especially where existing technology fails and new engineering must result. And when Uranus crossed these degrees in the late 1980's commercial aircraft manufacturers toyed with new ways of engine propulsion, using both traditional propellers and new propulsion engines. When Neptune finally slipped by these critical aviation degrees, two things occurred. First, new engines did arrive for the state of the art aircraft. Notably, these engines produced relatively little noise, minimizing the problems of noise pollution, a Neptune factor. Secondly, these engines implemented previously unknown levels of fuel efficiency, another Neptune push.
When Pluto arrives at these degrees of the Galactic Center maybe we will find out if high altitude flight is possible, or another form of advanced travel, to make our world even smaller, contact between peoples even more intense and to offer us all an expanded view of our planet.
Pluto transforms everything it connects with, and as it resonates with the black hole at the Galactic Center, it's likely to be a huge and massive purging on a global scale of all that is old, dark, deep and fearful within us, of all that needs to be reworked and changed. It is worth noting that Pluto's last connection with the Galactic Center (which takes place roughly every 248 years) actually took place in 1745. This connection preceded the War for American Independence; started the Industrial Revolution, eventually dissolved the Slave Trade (1807) and initiated many reforms. The purging of our darkest places leads to positive and powerful reforms! Pluto can utterly change governments and the way we do business and indeed, our entire structure may completely transform.
To sum up, Pluto's transit to our Galactic Center is a purge. The Lunar Transit will bring you a multitude of very positive changes but in order to get the best out of these changes you must evacuate certain doubts and fears which you have deep within you. Don't worry too much, each of us has our own personal fears and this is of course entirely normal but it is often important to learn how to free ourselves from our fears, most particularly in your case as I can see that your doubts are unfounded and simply represent barriers which you have set up in your own mind and which are pretexts for not going ahead with your ideas. A number of these fears are unconscious and I mention this aspect of your personality now because once these fears resurface into your conscious mind it will be a lot easier to deal with them and evacuate them properly.
Now, let's get back to the list of dates I have found for you and discuss Friday, August 26th 2016 and Monday, September 19th 2016. These are two important dates during which two total eclipses of the Moon will affect your path towards the Future. The Moon will play a great role for you and at this point I would like you to understand the mechanisms of this important planet (because yes, the Moon is considered as another planet in astrology) because throughout the Lunar Transit you will be influenced by many lunar transits. The Moon will have a decisive impact on your life Kayoko, not only on these particularly intense days (Friday, August 26th 2016 and Monday, September 19th 2016 but also at other moments during your year and it is important that you understand why. So hang on to your seat, I'm about to inundate you with Lunar information! The Moon's power extends over all aspects of our lives and it influences us all, it's energy can be found somewhere in your horoscope every day.
I am now going to go over some examples, just to show you how extensive the Lunar Influence actually is. The Moon is associated with the Mother and with Feminine energy in general and it is both our inner child and our inner mother. It is responsive, receptive, and reflective. The Moon in our chart shows how we protect ourselves, as well as make ourselves feel secure, comfortable, and safe. We can also think of the Moon as that which gives us animation. It rules rhythmic ebb and flow of activity and energy all around us, I will go into this in much greater detail later on. The Moon is a mediator between the inner world and the outer world and whereas the Sun is rational, the Moon is irrational. Habitual behaviors and prejudices are ruled by the Moon.
The Moon touches us all in many different ways. There are so many stories about the Moon; magical tales, fairy tales, myths, folklore, not to mention the legends and beliefs, old and new. The Moon has attracted both saints and devils; saints for spiritual powers and devils for dark powers. Mysterious creatures like werewolves and shape shifters are connected with the Moon. The ancient civilizations regarded the Moon as a deity. They marked the passage of time and predicted the weather based on the Moon. Esoteric sciences maintain that the Moon is much more than just a natural satellite of earth; it is the force that rules our mind and binds us to other life forms. Scientists confirm the effect of Moon on earth's atmosphere and human body, whether it's the forming of ocean tides or biological tides. Though there are many things we know about the Moon, myths and unfathomable phenomena still surround it.
Today, 47 years after man set foot on the Moon on July 20, 1969, how much more do we know about the Moon, except for its physical aspects? Astrology acknowledges and substantiates the various enigmas related to the Moon; and lately, scientists have started acknowledging some of these theories.
Being the nearest celestial body to earth, the Moon plays an important role in our life because of its influence on our mind, body, emotions, energy levels, dreams, and even, path of evolution. Besides human beings, animals, birds, insects and plants are also sensitive to the Moon and its phases.
Moon's effect on us; our lives, our environment and natural cycles
How can the Moon influence human lives - our mind, body and emotions? This is indeed a very complex question. Astrology has maintained throughout history and continues to confirm the significance of Moon on human life and earth's atmosphere. Scientists had, initially, dismissed these theories as 'mere superstitions'. Now, studies and researches have come up with interesting findings, which prove that the Moon influences our body and the probabilities of its effect on our mind and intellect cannot be ruled out.
It is an established fact that the Moon dominates tides on earth. The Earth's tides are created by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun and the force of the earth's revolution. However, the Moon's influence plays the major role. The most powerful tides occur during new Moon and full Moon, as during these periods, the focus of all three bodies' gravitational forces is strong. The Moon's gravitational force could be minimal on the earth; still, no-one can rule out that this minimal force affects the earth.
There are strong evidences that suggest that it is not only the tides of the ocean that are affected by the Moon, but also other water bodies of the earth. 72% of our body is composed of water and 8%, of chemical compounds. Therefore, there is a strong probability that the Moon affects our body's water levels.
Why should some change in our body's water levels effect us Kayoko? Until recently, scientists assumed that the 20% of our body, which is solid, was more important than the other, which consisted of water. But, now it is proved that the liquid in our body plays a major role in deciding our well-being.
- Our blood is more than 83% water and flows throughout our body carrying and supplying nutrients, oxygen and antibodies, wherever needed. Changes in our water levels or any effect on the water system can thus, cause changes in the properties of our blood.
- Our brain is 80+% water and it controls our body though our nervous system, which again is an elaborate system of tiny waterways. The fluid in our nerves is also made up of water and minerals. Thus, any effect on its purity or levels, affects us both mentally and physically.
- Our water levels have a major effect on our energy levels.
- Good flow of pure water is needed for proper metabolism.
- The continuous beating of our heart is a water consuming process. Even tiny body movements cause some decrease in water levels.
- This proves that any changes in our water levels affect us. Therefore, Moon affects us by influencing our water levels.
Research also proves that with changes in Moon's phases, rhythms of physical cycles (for example, the menstrual cycle in women, its average length of 28-29 days matches that of the lunar cycle) are affected. Astrologers point out the connection between Moon cycles and menstrual cycles more clearly, based on a person's lunar chart.
It is said that the Moon is attracted to the earth and tries to pull matters of this planet towards itself, but the latter holds back everything except water. Consequently, the Moon influences every water body on earth. The tides of the oceans caused by the Moon are a very good demonstration of this effect. As per astrological sciences, Moon is the ruler of (the element) water on earth. Therefore, the power and potential of water also comes under Moon's governance. Here, a point to bear in mind is that there is difference between governing and causing. Moon does not cause or change the properties of water, but its influence on water includes its power over the latters' properties as well. The changes in the quality and quantity of our water level affect our memory, mental energies and emotional levels. How? Study the effect of decreased water consumption on humans. If we decrease the quantity of water consumption beyond a certain limit, our stress levels increase and mental energies decrease. Another hidden property of water is its relationship with memory. For clearer memory (in normal circumstance), it is advised to drink generous quantity of pure water. It is also seen that decrease in water consumption beyond a certain level negatively affects the ability to recollect thoughts. Thus, increase and decrease in water levels beyond a certain point cause a corresponding effect (the level maybe minimal) on memory. A similar effect is found on mental energies and a reverse effect on stress levels. Stress levels indicate our emotional status. It can be inferred from the above-mentioned observations that if water affects our mind (emotions, memory and mental energies indicate our mind), then the force ruling it, the Moon, also has influence on our mind.
The Lunar phases create a play of energy forces, a power play we can sense, only from within. During a new Moon, the Sun and the Moon are in the same side of the earth, creating an augmented focus on gravitational forces acting on the earth. Ancient sciences state that the earth's primal energy is released as a result of the increase in forces. During a full Moon, the Sun and the Moon oppose each other's gravitational forces with the earth in the center, creating powerful energy conflicts between their forces.
We are composed of energy. The changing energy focus, the increase and decrease in energies caused by the changes in Moon's phases are apt to affect the energy levels within us.
The increased warmth in the atmosphere makes us feel warm. We acknowledge this because they are above certain levels. It is scientifically established that though we are not conscious of hearing certain low frequency sounds, our body feels them. It is because they are below certain levels.
The Moon's influence on our water levels can also affect our energy levels. In the modern world, living inside our electrically lit cocoons, we are hardly concerned how much amount of Moonlight is there outside. But, if we camp out in the open for 3-4 months, without electricity, we may sense the effects. Our body composition is similar to that of the earth; it is not illogical that the actions of decreasing and increasing energy levels, caused by the Moon, has some effect on our body's energy levels.
The Moon produces variations in the earth's electromagnetic field, created by the lunar transit. The Moon's movements around the earth constantly intersect and generate variations in the flow of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun. Humans as well as animals can be considered as a melding of electromagnetic forces, separated only by their skin from the electromagnetic forces of the atmosphere. The skin of all animal organisms, which include us, is a semipermeable membrane that permits the movement of electromagnetic forces both in and out of an organism. Excessive gravitational force caused by the changing positions of the Moon is in turn mediated by the electromagnetic field and results in excessive body tides or biological tides. Studies have shown increased amounts of serotonin in the blood, immediately after new and full Moons, which can cause mood swings. Thus Kayoko, the Moon's effect on our emotions cannot be ignored.
Moon and Biorhythms
Biorhythms or Biological rhythms are rhythms of life. These rhythms are created due to the cyclical movements of the earth, the Moon and the Sun. For example, the earth spins on its axis and completes one rotation in 24 hours. This cycle is continuous and we respond to it when night falls, many body functions, blood pressure, heart rate, hormone levels, etc. slow down and when dawn breaks or day begins, they speed up. The 24-hour cycle is called the circadian cycle. There are monthly rhythms, which usually follow a 28.5 days cycle. These cycles are biorhythms influenced by the Moon.
The menstrual cycle of women are connected with the Moon as they follow the 28.5/29 days lunar cycle. Aristotle observed that the ovaries of sea urchins follow a lunar cycle, swelling, generally, during the full Moon.
Our emotional cycle is based on the Moon. This cycle dominates our nervous system. We follow a regular cycle of feeling low and high in spirits. This leaves us feeling on edge at times and elated at other times. Many artists feel the effects of this emotional cycle more vividly; bursts of creative urges and period of dry spells as they describe it. During the positive period of our emotional cycle, we feel naturally warm and more open to people. Existence of an emotional cycle in humans is also supported by scientific facts. A professor of psychology at the University of Vienna, Hermanna Swoboda, observed regular rhythms when analyzing dreams and creative impulses. His books, The Period of Human Life, Studies on the Basis of Psychology and The Critical Days of Man are based on his studies in this area. Wilhelm Fliess, a physician and friend of Sigmund Freud, found that both men and women have physical and emotional cycles. His book, The Course of Life is based on his studies related to these cycles.
Knowing our biorhythms Kayoko will allow us to predict what days would be best to make important decisions and when to be cautious of errors and disturbances.
Some other theories related to Moon's influence on our biorhythms:
It is believed that sexual cycles in women are based on the lunar phases. Knowledge about sexual cycles can help a woman determine her most fertile days, favorable time for conception and (when she is pregnant) information on whether it is a boy or girl that she will have. A research paper presented by Kathy Yuan, Lu Zheng and Qiaoqiao Zhu who are at the University of Michigan Business School was based on the lunar effect on investors' trading behavior. They found evidence that stock returns were lower on days around a full Moon than new Moon. The lunar effect was independent of other calendar-related anomalies such as the January effect, the day-of-week effect, the calendar month effect, etc. It was based on the premises that as lunar phases effect moods, by extension they may affect investor behavior, and consequently, stock prices. The researchers studied stock market returns in 48 countries before coming to their conclusion
What is the Moon's effect on the earth's atmosphere?
With the Moon's influence causing changes in water bodies, gravitational forces and electromagnetic forces on the earth, its atmosphere can hardly remain unaffected.
The Moon's power on the earth's waters affects rainfall cycles. Studies conducted, involving 1544 weather stations in America (for the period 1900-1949), show that occurrences of heavy rain are most frequent on the days immediately following new Moons and full Moons.
The changes in the earth's electromagnetic field caused by the Moon create changes in the atmospheric pressure which also brings changes in the environment.
Moon's effect on birds and animals
The lunar cycles have an important influence on many plants and animals both on the land and in the sea Kayoko.
- Some animals are known to reproduce, following a lunar cycle:
- Marine biologists on the Australian Barrier Reef report that the corals mate during the full Moon
- It is found that many herbivorous animals ovulate during the full Moon. It is observed that the peak of deer rutting season occurs during full Moons
- The breeding habits of Malaysian Black Rice Bugs are harmonized with the Moon
- The reproductive cycle of Clunio marinus is synchronized with the lunar cycle
- The reproductive activities of shellfish follow the lunar tidal cycle
These are some examples that reveal the effect of Moon on animal reproductive cycle. However, there are many other aspects of animal life that are influenced by the Moon.
As per astrology, the subtle impact of the Moon on life on Earth is significant. A number of research studies have been conducted on tidal rhythms in aquatic animals.
- In crustaceans (freshwater and salt-water animals having no backbone, jointed legs and a hard shell, for example, crabs), renewal of shells, reproductive activities, and regeneration of lost limbs, follow lunar tidal rhythms
- Observations of some migratory birds indicate that they follow the patterns of the Moon for timing and finding directions
- In a research conducted by University of Waterloo, it was established that lunar cycles have a strong effect on the Galapagos fur seals
- Many sea creatures are found to display strong lunar sensitivity. Shrimps are caught in large number during a full Moon. Oysters respond to tidal rhythms. The reproductive cycles of a variety of fish follow lunar rhythms<
Marine animals and migratory birds are not the only ones affected by the Moon. Studies conducted showed that a variety of birds respond to Moonlight.
Research proves that Caprimulgus vociferus (locally, known as whip-poor-wills) are highly active during twilight and bright Moonlight than under Moon-less periods. Their reproductive cycle is synchronized with the lunar cycle. Hatching tends to occur during waxing Moon periods. Another study on Lapwings, Vanellus vanellus, conducted over two winters shows that a large proportion of these birds tend to feed on colder days and around the new Moon phase. Night feeding was frequent during full-Moon period.
The Moon and our Dreams
By dreams, I am not referring to daydreaming (a part of conscious mind process) Kayoko, rather the one that we have during our sleep (not a part of conscious mind process), which we may or may not recollect clearly when we wake up.
As per astrology, the Moon rules our mind. Mind includes thoughts, feelings, emotions, intuitions, and imagination. Dreams are not part of the physical body rather they are related to the mental part of our being. Therefore, astrologically there is no dispute over Moon's effect on our dreams.
The biological tides theory places the possibility of the Moon's effect on the intracellular fluid in a part of the hypothalamus. The extent of the effect could be minimal, and in many cases, negligible, but the possibility cannot be ruled out. The hypothalamus also regulates sleep and body behavior. Thus, the possibility of our sleep being affected (even at a minimal level) by the Moon also cannot be ignored. As dreams are a state attained during sleep, the force effecting sleep patterns are apt to influence dream patterns (even at a minimal level).
Another way of reasoning can also be adopted. It is scientifically proved that memory is in the form of electromagnetic particles (eMs). Memory includes audio and video forms. This means thoughts are also electromagnetic particles. That is why they can be easily stored, retrieved, and combined/recombined with different thoughts. Without going into many details (which would divert me from the point I'm trying to make), it will suffice to say that the play of electromagnetic participles in our brain is very complex, because of which we can replay and alter our thoughts, combine them to create new forms of thoughts, create new forms of images and concepts, etc. But there is difference between thoughts that we rationally form and our emotions and feelings, which are spontaneous. The former belongs to the conscious part of the mind and the latter to the subconscious part.
Dreams, like emotions and inner feelings are part of the subconscious Kayoko. On the basis of the well-proven scientific base that all actions are ultimately the result of force, we can say that our rational thoughts and inner emotions are some kind of actions, effected by different forces. As per the esoteric sciences, Moon has influence over the subconscious thoughts/actions. Therefore, dreams--part of the subconscious mind-are also influenced by the Moon.
Esoteric sciences maintain that many things can only be experienced or felt and not accounted for on the premises of precise sciences. How many of us love the full Moon, feel mood swings during certain lunar phases? Why is the full Moon given romantic importance in so many literatures? And the feelings associated are definitely not part of our conscious thoughts. And if it is because of our subconscious mind, there could be some correlation between the Moon and the subconscious, and therefore our dreams.
So Kayoko, here's a summary on astrological theories related to Moon's cycles and dreams.
A number of phenomena on the earth follow a cycle; seasons, rainfall, ecosystem, various physical body systems, etc. Accordingly, as per astrology, dreams also follow a cycle, the lunar cycle. As the Moon, waxes, becomes full, wanes and disappears, we find a change in the nature of our sleep and dreams. This is also correlated to our physical body and life experiences. The more you are in control of your life and emotions, the less you are acted by outside forces, and your dreams near full Moon are clearer and stronger (compared to first quarter and last quarter Moon phases), sometimes, conveying important messages. If you are less in control of your life, your dreams near full Moon may be strange, even depressing or you may suffer from insomnia as you are more affected by the conflicting energy forces. If you want to experiment on yourself Kayoko, maintain a dream diary and list your observations for 4-6 months. And, do not fail to check out how powerful the Moon's role is in your astrological chart.
Kayoko, I must apologize at this point, I've probably got a little overexcited with my explanation of the Moon! I hope I haven't bored you in any way! But as I'm sure you now realize, the Moon but is an astrological planet that I particularly appreciate. With such a long and detailed explanation I hope to share a little of my love of this planet and to stimulate your own interest in the Moon. The Moon will play an important role for all of us throughout our lives.
To return to your dates, Friday, August 26th 2016 and Monday, September 19th 2016 will be important because the Moon's influence over you will be powerful at this time and you will be able to finally start work on a project which you've had in mind for a long time now. On Friday, August 26th 2016 a total eclipse of the Moon will mean that this day and the days either side of the eclipse will be particularly intense for you Kayoko, your projects will become clearer and you will finally have the chance to get them settled. I have to mention astrology's limits again at this point, I can't see exactly how your projects will be affected but I can see that around this date, Friday, August 26th 2016, with it's lunar eclipse you will find out how you will be able to finance your project. What appears very clearly is the possibility of acquiring the means to fund your project and drive it forward, you can expect an exciting financial opportunity.
You will then need to wait several months for things to settle and for the organization of the project to become clear. This is where the second date comes into play, Monday, September 19th 2016, and once again let me say that although the details are not too clear your configuration is explicit, it is around this date that your project will really start to fall into place.
So there you have it Kayoko, this is everything I have managed to work on for you. Everything you need to make the most of your Lunar Transit is laid out in this personal reading. I advise you to read and re-read all this information and keep it to hand throughout your transit. Your forecast will help you to work on a day-to-day basis.
This coming year is YOUR year Kayoko, make the most of it!
I wish you all the best for your Future,
your friend and professional astrologer Jenna.
