Lunar Birthday and Moon Phase

In our natal chart, the Moon and the Sun are especially significant fundamental energies. The Sun expresses the Yang energy within the native, making one an individual striving toward goals, while the Moon expresses the Yin energy, making the person sensitive and receptive by nature.

These days, it is hard to find a person who does not know their Solar Zodiac Sign at the time of birth. But there is also a Lunar Zodiac Sign—this is the position of the Moon in a particular zodiac sign at the moment the person was born. Just as there is no day without night, an astrological portrait based only on the Solar Sign will be quite incomplete, especially for women, since the Moon symbolizes      the feminine principle and governs the personal qualities of all women.

The phase of the Moon in the natal chart determines the characteristics of the person’s personality. The entire lunar cycle is connected with the circle of reincarnation, reception of astral information, and the accumulation of karma from previous lives. In this regard, the further one’s birth date is from the New Moon, the more experienced the native is in manifesting the astral world.

A person born during the Waxing Moon—the life task is to master the outer world and to realize one’s knowledge, skills, and abilities. Such a native is oriented toward active pursuits from birth, striving for success and a high social position. Other people and external events are of little interest to them.

A person born during the Waning Moon—the period of gaining experience and outward activity is coming to an end; it is a time of drawing conclusions. Such a person is most absorbed in the search for eternal philosophical answers: “Who am I in this world?”, “What is the meaning of life?”, “How was the Universe created?” The outer environment and social achievements are not a priority. Their main concern is to have an interesting occupation and a small circle of friends. Self-esteem and self-respect are more important than the opinions of others. The focus is turned inward.

A person born in the First Phase (Quarter) of the Moon

Individuals born in the First Phase (Quarter) of the Moon are assertive and active. They possess many different abilities, which often makes it difficult for them to focus on just one thing. There is a tendency to stand out, which can bring challenges, since they may lack the skills to interact with various social groups. When analyzing events, they are guided more by their feelings than by facts. Highly subjective, they often experience setbacks due to an inability to realistically assess their own strengths. The most active period of life is after the age of 30. At this time, they become more realistic, settle on a favorite professional path, and by around age 45, easily achieve success.

A person born in the Second Phase (Quarter) of the Moon

Individuals born during the Second Phase of the Moon are adapted to the surrounding world from childhood. Such natives are considered the most successful in social relationships. They achieve success easily, are practical and concrete, see beneficial opportunities, and know how to realize them. They quickly unlock their potential and achieve success with ease. By the age of 30, they often have a stable income and a solid footing in life.

A person born in the Third Phase (Quarter) of the Moon

Individuals born in the Third Phase (Quarter) of the Moon have greater potential than what is actually realized. In the first half of life, they are quite successful and, like all natives of the Waning Moon, quickly find their favorite occupation. But over time, social success becomes less interesting. After age 40, or sometimes later, they discover new goals, turn toward self-exploration, and gradually lose interest in social activity. Such natives are drawn to philosophy or are often very religious. If the Moon was under stressful aspects or opposition at birth, this shift in goals can be dramatic, possibly following a personal crisis, career collapse, or disillusionment with former ideals.

A person born in the Fourth Phase (Quarter) of the Moon

Individuals born in the Fourth Phase of the Moon at first may appear withdrawn. As children, they are often sickly. In life, they are not assertive because they lack the necessary energy for self-affirmation. They may be forced to work at jobs that do not appeal to them, but after age 30, they can abandon everything and pursue what they love, even if their family disapproves. Many natives born in the Fourth Phase of the Moon become recluses or monks.

Full Moon

Individuals born at the Full Moon often grow up in dysfunctional families or have conflicts with their parents. In childhood, they reveal many talents and are highly valued by others, but by age 30, their resources tend to run out, causing much distress. In search of inspiration, they may change jobs and places of residence frequently, never settling down. Only around age 55 do they begin to achieve results that bring true satisfaction and fulfillment.

New Moon

The New Moon is the first day of the lunar month. It is a time for summing up the results of the cycle of reincarnations; the first lunar day is considered the first incarnation for the native.

A person born on such a day cannot fully express themselves—they are just beginning to get acquainted with the world around them. These individuals often appear withdrawn, and those around them find it difficult to understand them.

A crisis usually occurs at the very moment of birth. On the day of the New Moon, infant mortality is at its highest. Such children are often sickly, may have digestive and immunity problems. Those born on the first lunar day accumulate vital energy throughout their lives, and things gradually improve over time. ✓
