Greetings PJ 626 The new moon takes place at 26 Gemini. I'm not sure where you got the 16 degrees Gemini.  Rose |

Dear pj626, The transiting moon moves pretty fast so on that day it will go through various degrees... when it hits the same degree and sign as the sun, that is when it is considered to be a New Moon... that is how we determine the lunation cycle: the relationship between the sun and moon... for example, when the moon transits to sag while the sun is in gemini, at the exact degree opposite, we get the Full Moon... in that sense, there is no "regular moon" - it's always something else ;D (New, Crescent, 1st quarter, gibbous, full, disseminating, last quarter, balsamic ) Dane Rudhyar's work on The Lunation Cycle is great but for an easier and more interactive read, try Demetra George's Finding Our Way through the Dark (Chapter 1 and 2)... for a detailed description of the Lunation Cycle and what it means natally and through progression... many years ago now  when Rose first introduced me to the wealth of information that the lunation cycle and phasal relationship between the sun and moon (and all the other planets for that matter) can give alone, it BLEW MY MIND! You can always go to www.mountainastrologer.com and click on "current lunation" to check out their take on what is going on at any given time... Blessings to you  |

Hello PJ 626 I am glad that Lion took the time to answer your question. I simply did not understand where you were going wrong... sometimes things are very simple... - Rose |
