The Moon through the Houses: The 27 1/2 year passage of the
Moon through the houses is important. This is almost a Moon Phase
Cycle in itself. If you see the Moon on the AC as another New
Moon you will see what I mean. Since this process is a more
personal link it is more conscious than the Moon Phase. Due to
differences in sizes of houses the cycle is uneven. You could use
this to test out the different house systems. The life area
represented by the house the Moon is moving through becomes
emphasised. Look at the dual cycles of the Moon Phase and Moon
Houses together. For instance, if the New Moon Phase starts in
the first house, then the energies are compatible. However should
this happen in the twelfth, it would be far harder to work with.
A new Moon in the seventh when we are deeply involved with our
relationship with others would not be easily expressed. A
balsamic Moon in the tenth when we are concerned with our
ambition and achievement would not be easy either, whereas a Full
Moon would be ideal. As in all astrology work blending the themes
is of paramount importance.
