What's the relationship between a New Moon & Full Moon? 1 by Yikkes! Hi Folks, 1/What's the relationship between a New Moon & Full Moon? Is the Full Moon a culmination of something that started in the New Moon? Can't "see" that. A Capricorn New Moon culminating in a Cancer Full? How do those tie themselves together? 2/ Also just noticed that Eclipses can be North or South Node located. I thought they had to be North Node conjunctions to be an Eclipse. Is that true ? and if so is there a fundemental difference? How's it going out there in Reality Land ? 3/ Anybody like to recommend "The Book" on Eclipses or failing that theory of New/ Full Moons?

2 by Papretis Hi Yikkes!, A Lunar eclipse happens when the Sun and the Moon are in opposition near the Nodal Axis. It can be both ways - either the Moon conjoining the North Node and the Sun conjoining the South Node, or vice versa. A Solar eclipse happens when then Sun and the Moon are conjoining near either of the Nodes. That's why eclipses happen in pairs: there's a few weeks between a Lunar eclipse and a Solar eclipse, then about a half year between, and then another pair of eclipses. The next "eclipse season" starts with a Solar eclipse in 7th February, followed by a Lunar eclipse in 21st February. Then there's another eclipse season in August. Eclipses are important, if they happen on a planet in a natal chart, the orb is about two degrees at most. They indicate change in the area signified by the natal planet.

3 by Yikkes! Thanks. My question is in what way does the Capricorn part of the last New Moon relate to the Cancer part of the Full Moon. I don't see how a Capricorn seed can grow into a Cancer Flower. H. Yikkes! Quote Tue Jan 22, 2008 8:20 am
