Progressed New Moon & Lunation Cycle

http://www.astro.com/astrology/in_progmoon_e.htm

The progressed Sun and Moon perform the same dance every thirty years, its timing entirely dependent on our personal birth chart [2]. When the progressed Moon (moving at approximately 13 degrees a year) joins the progressed Sun (travelling at 1 degree a year) we, individually, experience a progressed New Moon for a period of three and a half years. For people born during a Last Quarter or Balsamic phase, that is towards the end of the monthly cycle, this could happen very early in life; for those born at a New Moon or Crescent phase on the other hand, it could be in their mid- to late twenties. The progressed lunation cycle thus beats a slow but deeply meaningful rhythm to our lives, one that we may easily overlook but that can actually put even slow moving Pluto transits into a larger context. It is worthwhile, therefore, to pay attention to whatever progressed Moon phase we are currently at so we can attune ourselves to it.
