For those who have read Food for the Moon, you may now download the 2006 moon chart. This chart differs from the previous ones in a couple ways.
First, perigee and apogee have been incorporated into the shape of each new or full moon window by placing a peak at the midpoint between the new or full moon and the closest apogee or perigee. In my observation, the highest probability for “lunacy” occurs near this average. In other words, if the perigee or apogee happens at the very end of a moon window, then the peak would be three-fourths into the window.
Second, I have put a minor bump at quarter moon. That is when the moon is half full, when in astrological terms the sun and moon are square. Square aspects are antagonistic, and as I have found, minor disruptions sometimes crop up on those days.
Now, further narrowing down the peak probability within a moon window requires the use of personal biorhythm charts. In my experience, the more waves cross on any given day, the more likely that day will see improbable manifestations of “negativity.” Personal reality unlocks, becomes more easily reshuffled.
Some might ask why any of this is necessary if one should strive to be aware all the time. My reply is that it’s not about when to be aware and when not to be aware, but rather when one should be more aware than usual. Trying to maintain peak awareness all the time would tax your system and create unnecessary stress. But by knowing the cyclical factors behind turbulent flavors of experience, you can economize your energies by maintaining peak awareness when it counts most.
The moon cycles affect some people more than others. You will know through observation whether this is valid for you and those you interact with. I have received many emails from people who have independently discovered this themselves, that things tend to get rougher around the new and full moon than other days of the month.
