NEW! The Galactic Guide Lunations Calendar

The Galactic Guide Lunations Calendar 

     At the suggestion of the Galactic Guide readers, we introduce a calendar of the major lunar phases, which are the most critical times during the lunar month. The trends indicated  are valid for about a week, until the next phase starts, and describe the general atmosphere on which other astrological events   indicated in Galactic Guide occur. The Moon is the closest celestial body to us and whose cycle is faster, representing the flow of everyday life. Now, with this calendar, it is possible to see the connections of daily life with deep space objects like galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, supernovae and other. I hope you enjoy it and that it will be helpful to understand the flow and timing of events that are related to deep space objects. Each trend is in effect for approximately 7 days.

Moon Phases July / August 2012

First Quarter-occurs at 3° 46' of the zodiacal sign of Scorpio, on July 26, 2012 at 8 h 56 am UT - The First Quarter is conjunct galaxy M83, also known as the Southern Pinwheel and is one of the galaxies with the highest rate of stellar production known. This implies a time (one week) of great creativity, in which new ideas, new projects arise, and there is a tendency to restructure, to reassess, to reorganize. Avoid an excessive load of responsibilities by getting involved in too many activities.


Full Moon - it happens at 10° 15' of the zodiacal sign Aquarius, on August 2, 2012 at 3h27 AM UT - This Full Moon occurs in parallel to star cluster M107. This cluster is quite disperse and is obscured by interstellar dust in several parts. This is a time when there is a clear awareness of the problems caused by dispersion, negligence or lack of resources or attention.  Some hidden problems will come to light, showing also the path for overcoming obstacles, as the problems come with solutions as well. It is a moment of communion with people that broaden our horizon, giving us hope. This Full Moon favors the union of the masses as well, so it is a week of large-scale ideological communion...

Last Quarter - It occurs at 17°34 'of the zodiacal sign of Taurus on August 9, 2012 at 6h54 pm UT - The Last Quarter is in opposition to globular cluster M5, a large, ancient cluster with many variable stars which suggests instability and prejudices ...  Since the Last Quarter implies a break with the past, it is a time of renewal of ideas and viewpoints that no longer work. It is a week to refresh opinionated concepts, to do updates, to implement changes in strategies. On the other hand, the tendency to be rejected by this renewing attitude is great, but the important thing is to follow your own path with confidence, instead of stagnating in your too familiar routine.

New Moon - It happens at 25° 08' of the zodiacal sign of Leo, on August 17, 2012 at 3h54 PM UT. The start of the Lunar cycle is in opposition to M2, a cluster with an orbit which is highly inclined to the galactic equator, representing an individual way, an original path. It is a moment of creativity and harmonious plans, good to design and carry out strategies with different people. It is recommended to work and act in groups. It also represents an increased productivity, due to the integration of people and aspects formerly not taken into account. It is favorable to integrate original formulas and put them to work for the benefit of all.
