CRISIS LUNATIONS 2019:

Crisis Lunation periods occurs when, at the time that the Moon is New or Full, the Moon is physically very close to the earth. This closeness-lunation parallel will amplify our emotional reactions, bringing matters to a crisis point. This Crisis Moon period usually begins about one week before the New/Full Moon and lasts several days afterward. I find that you are only affected by one of the Crisis Moon periods, usually one that falls close to a natal planet.

When a crisis arises, my advice is always to "stay calm, relax and make no impulsive decisions for at least a week." The most critical are eclipses. The most potent occurred on April 15, 1995, because it occurred at the time of a Lunar Eclipse. Of course, the event it portended was the Oklahoma City bombing as the Eclipse fell on the ASC/DESC axis over that city. The WTC/Pentagon attack occurred within a wide orb of a Crisis Lunation. The US invaded Iraq on a Crisis Full Moon in March 2003.
I remember one example - a father called about his daughter who had run away from home about 4 days before the CFM. I told him

what was occurring and that he should wait for about a week and she would likely return home....and she did. After the effects of the CFM were over, she became rational again. Hormones and a CFM are not a good mix!

During the year, there are generally 4 Crisis New Moons and 4 Crisis Full Moons. There is usually only ONE of these CFMs that hits you -- generally, not all of them ... and you cannot always tell which one it is going to be.

When it hits, you go crazy and your emotions are magnified. But, when the Moon begins to move away from the earth, we calm down. I am a Virgo so a rational explanation is very satisfying for me. If I know that I am feeling this way because of some astrological/astronomical configuration, it makes it seem OK and I feel much better.

Yet, there are times when events occur that are not transient. During a Crises Lunation in 2013, I had an automobile accident and, at another Crises Lunation in 2015, after getting out of jail this man with whom I had the accident tried to sue me for total disability, hoping that I would not show up in New Jersey for the deposition. In January 2019, at the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse Crises Lunation, I received a message that my dad had passed away while I was in Switzerland.

NEW: August 2019 had a Crisis New Moon at the beginning and at the end of the month. This is somewhat like a Blue Moon month. The Blue Moon (see a short article on my website) is a Full Moon at the beginning and end of the month. It is my experience that it is like an entire month of Full Moon crises and tension.

August being bracketed by a Crises New Moon is like a month of crises – at least for me. I have a dental crisis, my sweet cat was very ill, and the non-profit that runs my farm has taken all of the joy out of farming for me. Yes, I have a good lawyer. The positive – I will be free from worrying about the gardens.
The Crises New Moon occurs on my birthday, August 30. A lunation occurring on or within a day of one’s birthday will trigger a major change within the coming year. This works even if it is not a Crises Lunation.

GOOD DATES/PERIODS for DECEMBER 2019 – All times are ET.

NOVEMBER 27 after 9am ET through November 28 until 5:30am ET: The Moon is in the sign of Sagittarius where it is parallel the Sun-Saturn-Pluto and crosses Jupiter at 29 degrees. This period favors both practical and inspirational activities. Mercury trines Neptune so intuition is most powerful now. Rely upon this in making important decisions. This is a lucky period but it is also an Ending Cycle, a time to draw a matter to a successful conclusion.

NOVEMBER 28-early 30: The Moon is in the sign of Capricorn and it makes all favorable aspects, favoring both practical affairs and innovative approaches. The conjunction with Saturn denotes delays but these will work to your benefit. The conjunction with Pluto will urge you to streamline and cut out the extraneous and non-essentials. A group can be relevant to your success.

---------------------------------------------------

DECEMBER 4: The Moon is in the sign of Pisces and it is well aspected after 3pm EST. The Moon favors Saturn-Pluto and Mercury, ending with a parallel to Neptune. This is a propitious time to make practical decisions but decisions made using intuition. The Water sign and Neptune are visceral in projecting for future actions. The Moon is actually in Pisces starting on December 3^rd and there are almost all favorable aspects. However, as the day of the 4^th begins, the Moon squares the Sun and crosses Neptune. This can indicate a disappointment with one in authority. If you commence on the 3^rd, be prepared for this to occur. It will not affect the positive outcome when using intuition in decision-making.

DECEMBER 9: The Moon is in the sign of Taurus from 5am to 8pm on the 9^th. The Moon, in an Earth sign, trines the alignment of Venus-Saturn-Pluto in Capricorn, another Earth sign. This is an excellent time for practical decisions and activities, especially those that impact finances and require cooperation in relationships. This is a good time to talk with your financial adviser, for example.

DECEMBER 16: The Moon is in the sign of Leo but, in order to miss the difficult aspect of Moon square Mars, do not initiate until the period from 7am to 5 pm EST. The Moon in a Fire sign trines the Sun in Sagittarius, another Fire sign. This is an excellent time for travel, inspirational communications and all consciousness-expanding activities.

DECEMBER 18 (VERY QUESTIONABLE): The Moon is in the sign of Virgo but, just before it leaves the sign and trines Venus in Capricorn, it squares the Sun in a strong Fire sign. There can be a conflict with one in authority. The trine to Venus marks an ending cycle by which you may have to negotiate a favorable ending.

DECEMBER 20-21: The Moon is in the sign of Libra and it makes a series of very difficult aspects BUT, from 7pm on the 20^th to 6:30am on the 21^st, the Moon trines the Sun at 29 Sagittarius. Libra is a natural Fixer (regardless of whether the other person wants it fixed or not) so a person in authority can mediate a favorable ending through inspired thinking/action.

DECEMBER 22: The Moon is in the sign of Scorpio and, from 9am to 10pm EST, the Moon makes a series of favorable aspects. Practical, well thought out thinking and action will produce positive results. The Moon crosses Mars in Scorpio at 10:27pm ET. Considering that this is part of a series of favorable aspects, rather than a conflict and poor cooperation, it can mark a time when you assert yourself, and fight for what you believe in. You win because you have won the fight.

DECEMBER 24: The Moon is in the sign of Sagittarius and it only makes one troublesome aspect, a square to Neptune. There can be some disappointment due to a misunderstanding or someone not being there when you expect them. The Ending aspect is a conjunction with Mercury in Sagittarius so it is an excellent time for travel, education and inspired communications. There are parallel to Saturn and Pluto so inspiration is grounded by practical concerns.

DECEMBER 26: The Moon is in the sign of Capricorn on the 25^th and 26^th. Avoid commencing on the 25^th. There is an eclipse so something may “eclipse” the matter. Wait until the 26^th through 4pm ET when the Moon crosses 4 planets in Capricorn, the Sun crosses Jupiter in Capricorn, ending with a sextile to Mars and a parallel to Pluto. This is an excellent time for all practical, organizational and administrative activities. The Moon does cross Saturn and this will cause delays that work to your benefit.

DECEMBER 30-31-JANUARY 1: The Moon is in the sign of Pisces and it makes ALL FAVORABLE aspects while in this sign. The is an excellent time for all creative, recreative, and intuitive activities. NOTE: I have picked this time to travel to Orlando to Harry Potter World to try that new Hagrid ride. I am treating myself to the most expensive hotel there but I am only staying there 3 nights.

NOTE TO READER: These dates are based upon electional techniques. All of the Moon sign dates apply to everyone. Do not simply read your own Moon sign – read all of the signs for what I say about the specific dates. The Moon sign information will NOT describe the day, only the outcome if you initiate something important on that day..

* ARIES (March 19-April 19): This month there will be a type of spiritual awakening for you – talents and insights may prove transformational. There will be a shift in consciousness towards more spiritual, non-materialistic goals. Look to astrological indicators – in your chart or the Lunations.
The Moon is in the sign of Aries on December 6-7 and it makes ALL bad aspects, with the exception of a trine to the Sun indicating some help from one in authority – if you want to initiate at this very unfortunate period. The outcome will produce serious complications and delays.

Index

* TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In making changes, carelessness can cause you to forget something important. Go over details. This is not a month to be alone. It can affect you badly – socializing and Vitamin D3 will help. Do not sweat the small stuff in your life. Focusing upon petty annoyances is a waste of time.

DECEMBER 9: The Moon is in the sign of Taurus from 5am to 8pm on the 9th. The Moon, in an Earth sign, trines the alignment of Venus-Saturn-Pluto in Capricorn, another Earth sign.

This is a good time to talk with your financial adviser, for example.

Index

* GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may find yourself associating with people from “Old Money.” It is socializing with people of substance and this will benefit you in some way. In your work or activities, you work hard but you are definitely on top of things so do not fear feeling over-whelmed. You may deal with a female lawyer this month or you will have to make some very decisive decisions.
            The Moon is in the sign of Gemini on December 11 but this is NOT a time to make any important decision or changes. This period ends with a Full Moon squared by Neptune. Poor communications and deception are themes for this day.

Index

* CANCER (June 21-July 22): Obviously, this is going to be a very social month for you but socializing with a small group of women will suit best for the female Cancerian. Do exercise moderation as Cancer is very sensitive in the area of the stomach. If an inner voice tells you not to eat something, DON’T! By month’s end, you will be embarking upon a new enterprise.
The Moon is in the sign of Cancer on December 13-14. There are many opposition aspects at this time indicating, of course, many oppositions and disagreements. These oppositions will cause delays, hurt feelings and a break off in a relationship that proves costly. Pick another period to initiate.

Index

* LEO (July 23-August 22): In early December, finish up your work projects so that you will have the money to do as you wish. There will be periods of indecision – choices may be difficult at this time. By month’s end, if you delayed getting your projects finished, you will feel fatigued. It will be much harder if you procrastinate.
            DECEMBER 16: The Moon is in the sign of Leo but, in order to miss the difficult aspect of Moon square Mars, do not initiate until the period from 7am to 5 pm EST.

          * VIRGO (August 23-September 22):   New beginnings and new concepts present themselves in December. There is a Spirit Guide bringing new people into your life. There is a strong spiritual energy embracing you this month. Meditate and allow yourself to be guided by intuition and, most important, your Higher Self.

DECEMBER 18 (VERY QUESTIONABLE): The Moon is in the sign of Virgo but, just before it leaves the sign and trines Venus in Capricorn, it squares the Sun in a strong Fire sign. There can be a conflict with one in authority. The trine to Venus marks an ending cycle by which you may have to negotiate a favorable ending.

Index

* LIBRA (September 23-October 22): There will be an important awakening regarding possibilities and talents which you possess. Do not over-react to what you perceive as unjust or unfair – you are likely to regret such action. By month’s end, it is a time to walk away from a negative emotional attachment. Always take the moral high road – and leave the negative behind.

DECEMBER 20-21: The Moon is in the sign of Libra and it makes a series of very difficult aspects BUT, from 7pm on the 20th to 6:30am on the 21st, the Moon trines the Sun at 29 Sagittarius. Libra is a natural Fixer (regardless of whether the other person wants it fixed or not) so a person in authority can mediate a favorable ending through inspired thinking/action.

Index

* SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): Be around people who treat you with love, respect and appreciation. Avoid those who inspire negative emotions. You will receive an important message this month.

* CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19): December is an action month for you – a time to work on projects and professional activities. You will feel victorious in one area of your life but another project, recently completed, will have taken a lot out of you – but it is OVER now. Once completed, a new opportunity will present itself.

NOVEMBER 28-early 30: The Moon is in the sign of Capricorn and it makes all favorable aspects, favoring both practical affairs and innovative approaches.

* AQUARIUS (January 20-February 17): There may be a Scorpio woman around you. She has a lot of pain inside. You cannot control a Scorpio do just be sympathetic. You will find spiritual solace and inspiration in December. Work with your Spirit Guide at the time. A new support will be offered. Know that you have all of the Power and Resources to master anything that you attempt.
The Moon is in Aquarius on December 1-2 but it is a time fraught with conflict and disagreements if you initiate now. Someone is a strong position (who may have supported you) leaves for something much more debilitating.
The Moon returns to Aquarius on December 28-29. There are a lot of Parallels with Mars so, if commencing now, you will run into a lot of Arians or Scorpios or Mars rising folks – so it all ends with an argument and they win! Let’s face it – who wants to get into a fight with a Scorpio!

Index

* PISCES (February 18-March 19): Remember, Pisceans, the day of the doormat is over. When you feel bound to the stresses of others, take off the blinders and walk away. This is actually a month for you to take a risk, travel, do something unpredictable. In your work, you will be on top of everything so you will have some free time.
