"The Moon is the closest planetary body to The Earth. As such, its effects on Mankind are quite evident as It passes through the various Zodiac Signs on its circuit of the heavens. The Moon represents that which is instinctive, intuitive, and unconscious in Man. As such, it tends to stir these deeper realms of the human psyche whenever It comes to an important angle with respect to The Sun and whenever It passes over a sensitive location in an individual's birth chart."
"The most important Sun/Moon angles are the syzgies, meaning The New Moon and The Full Moon. The conjunction of The Moon and Sun (New Moon) tends to bring together the conscious designation of The Sun with the unconscious designation of The Moon. Hence, The New Moon is generally a time when individuals can expect to receive, from their own subconscious levels, somewhat greater input than is usually the case. The business man will recognize this as a 'business hunch', the housewife as 'intuition', and so on. Those who consistently meditate will often find their meditations more fruitful if done around the time of The New Moon due to the interchange of energy on a broad basis."
"As to The Full Moon, occurring as The Moon and Sun oppose each other in the sky, the symbolism should be self-evident to the seeker. It is that something in the nature of the subconscious is opposing or running contrary to some facet of the conscious mind. It is from this dichotomy that the negative emotions arise in those whose conscious and unconscious components contain much that is in conflict or turmoil. And here is a crucial point to understand, for not everyone is adversely affected by The Full Moon by any means. Those who do experience the negative emotional states will generally by those whose sub- or unconscious minds contain factors which are out of harmony with the contents of the conscious mind."
"Policemen and hospital workers all know that the rate of violence increases dramatically right around the time of The Full Moon. Those who are troubled by the Full Moon Period are advised to look into themselves to discover the nature of the conflicts which they harbor at deeper levels, for it is these conflicts which are being prodded and agitated by the energies which The Moon produces when It opposes The Sun. Indeed, this form of difficult energy was given to Man as a gift, one precisely calculated to allow Him to see the nature of His internal conflicts, so that He could do something about improving and alleviating them. Thus, the gift of The Full Moon is a part of The Grand Scheme for Mankind upon this planet, for It allows Man to see parts of Himself more clearly than would otherwise be the case."
