Your Dark Moon in Depth

What that companion book sets out to teach is finding your own dark moon periods in the birth chart. The report Your Dark Moon in Depth does this in your chart. Following the positions and periods listed in that note to Chapter 1, it looks for them one by one, telling you which lunar phase you were born in and where your twelfth house and Black Moon Lilith fall. Among the periods, it begins with the progressed balsamic phase. Each day after birth corresponds to a year of life, and the progressed Moon circles the progressed Sun in about thirty years, spending a little over three of them in the balsamic phase. The report covers whichever of these stretches apply at your age. For those already past, it gives the ages from and to, and asks you to think back on yourself at that time. For one under way or still ahead, it gives the year and month it begins, and discusses where your energy is best placed in those years.

The three steps of Chapter 9 are also placed in specific years. If in these years Uranus, Neptune or Pluto touches a personal planet such as your Sun or Moon, or your Ascendant or Midheaven, the report says which point is touched, from what year and month, and whether this is a step of breaking apart, dissolving or growing back.

This report reads only the positions and periods in your chart that belong to the dark moon, explaining where a low point comes from and when it passes; for the full picture of character, career and love, you need a reading of the whole chart. The month before each birthday is calculated precisely by software, and the report gives the date the next one begins, so that when it comes you can leave those weeks a little looser.
