I’ve been practicing astrology for almost two decades, and I’ve been writing my Moon Scope articles for a few years now, but it wasn’t until last week that the lunar cycle finally made sense to me!

Last week! 

Lol, I can’t even believe it.

So, I had this full vision of the Moon turning during its cycle, going from one phase to another.

What I didn’t realize, and believe me when I tell you that this is the key to the whole thing, the Moon cycles through the zodiac in order sign by sign.

You see, the lunar cycle seems confusing because the moon moves really fast through the zodiac. It’s in and out of a sign in only a few days, so it feels almost impossible to catch up with it.

Totally wrapping your brain around the lunar cycle requires two things. You need to know the lunar phases and you need to simplify things.

If you know the phases like the back of your hand, then you can simplify things if you have the key, and I just gave you the key. The key is that the Moon cycles through the zodiac in order sign by sign.

I’m going to explain, and what magically happens at the end of this is that you catch up with the lunar cycle. Suddenly, everything slows down, it makes sense, and you can wrap your brain around it.

As an example, let’s say we have a brand-new moon in Aries.

There’s a new moon in Aries on the night of January 1st. On the second night, the door opens and a little bit of light shines in. On the second night, the new moon is in its waxing crescent phase, and it’s illuminated 1%. The cycle begins.

The moon will continue turning, it will continue to get brighter, and it will move in and out of the preceding zodiac signs (Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, and Virgo) in two or two and a half days.

This is where things always get confusing and the moon gets aways from us, but not this time. We have the key, and we can simplify things.

We know the new moon was in Aries, and therefore, when the moon culminates, becomes full, and is 100% illuminated, it will be in opposition to where it was when it was new.

It’s like clockwork; every time without fail.

So, if the new moon was in Aries, then you know it’s going to be in Libra when it’s full.

No matter what happens between the waxing crescent and the full moon, and no matter how confusing things seem to get, you’ll always be one step ahead because you know the full moon will be in opposition to where it was when it was new. One step ahead; that’s how you have to rationalize this.

This will get confusing again between the full moon phase and the last night of the waning crescent, but don’t worry. You have the key!

No matter what happens between the full moon and the last night of the waning crescent, no matter how confusing things seem or how far behind you feel, you know that without fail the door on this current lunar cycle will close exactly where it opened!

The lunar cycle will come complete and make one full circle. It will close out exactly where it opened and began before turning new again.

And, when the moon turns new again, you know it’s going to be a new moon in Taurus because our key tells us the moon cycles through the zodiac in order sign by sign.

There it is! I hope this makes sense to you, and if it doesn’t immediately, then it will at some point.

You have to understand the lunar cycle to be like a revolving door.

The cycle itself is a highly organized self-sufficient filing system. It’s a story structure with a beginning, a middle, and an end. It opens, and it closes creating, destroying, and preserving a portion of time.

Once you’re capable of totally wrapping your brain around the lunar cycle, the real fun begins. You can really get into flow and in sync, manipulate, and create.

The law of three (trinity)

The law of three is one of the primary laws of mysticism. Three forces are present when an event begins, and three forces are necessary for creation.

Creation, destruction, preservation.

It’s very simple.

If the new moon is in Cancer, the waxing crescent will be in Cancer, the full moon will be in Capricorn, the waning crescent will be in Cancer, and the next new moon will be in Leo.
