What Moon Phase Were You Born Under?
What Moon Phase Were You Born Under?
Each of us has a certain personality trait depending on which phase
the moon was in at the time of birth. People born during certain
lunar phases tend to share certain attributes with others born during
this time. Knowing which phase you were born under can give you
valuable insight into your character, emotions, behavior and
motivation in life. It can make you aware of you deepest underlying
drives, the fundamental purpose that you feel you have in life, and
the contribution that you can make to society at large during the
course of your lifetime. Armed with this knowledge, you can begin to
understand your responses, and then attune yourself to a personal
cyclical pattern that you go through each and every month.
First, you need to find your lunar birth phase. This is the phase
that the moon was in at the time of your birth.

Just type in your birthdate, and it will give you a picture of the
moon on that day. You may have to do a little figuring to determine
which phase it is.....if you find it hard to determine from this
site, you may want to check with a chart to make sure.
Remember that the moon stays in each phase for three and one-half
days. Let's say that you find a chart that shows when the moon begins
each phase, but doesn't give the phase for a specific day. It's not
that hard to calculate which phase your birthday falls into. Find
the phase closest to your date of birth. The day given will be the
FIRST day of that lunar phase.
Count that as Day One. Then count two and one-half days after that.
If your birthday falls within that group, then that is your lunar
phase. If it falls BEFORE that lunar phase date, then you should
check the lunar phase right before that one....you should fall within
those three and one-half days. I know it sounds a little complicated,
but it's really pretty simple!
What about those whose birthday falls on a day when the moon is
moving out of one phase into the other? You may want to consult a
chart and use your time of birth to determine exactly what phase you
are in, but you may find you share characteristics of both
phases...sort of like those whose sun sign falls on the cusp of the
zodiac.
There are eight personality types to correspond with eight lunar
phases:
1) New Moon
2) First/Waxing Crescent
3) First Quarter (this is same as a half-moon in waxing phase)
4) Waxing Gibbous Moon (a three-fourths moon, final stage before full
moon arrives)
5) Full Moon
6) Disseminating Moon/Waning Gibbous (the three-fourths moon just
after the full moon)
7) Last Quarter (the half-moon in the waning phase)
8) Balsamic Moon/Waning Crescent
The Lunar Personality Types:
1) New Moon: If you were born during the New Moon phase, you have a
childlike wonder and excitment about life. Open and demonstrative,
you think and act spontaneously. With your bright, bubbly
personality, you launch yourself into your work with tremendous
enthusiasm. You are at your best when you are generating new ideas
and beginning fresh projects, ever-hopeful about their outcome. Your
eagerness leads you to work fast and furiously, but with the
attendant danger that you can all too often exhaust yourself before
reaching your goal. On the negative side, you have a habit of seeing
life from a purely subjective point of view. You are likely to make
your mark in life when you are comparatively young, and you will need
to learn how to sustain that impulse throughout the rest of your life.
2) First Crescent: As a First Crescent individual, you are assertive,
adventurous, and filled with joyous curiousity about life. Your
creative disposition means that you have a need to expand your
understanding, and it also helps you to look at problems from a fresh
perspective. Because of this, you may often feel torn between the
conventional approach and the desire to break new ground ~ a conflict
between established and unorthodox approaches. You may also come up
against restrictions to your plans and will need to find ways of
overcoming these obstacles in order to achieve your aims in life.
Your twenties and early thirties are likely to be especially
productive and successful.
3) First Quarter: First Quarter people are positive and strong-
willed. Physically and mentally active and expressive, you are
constantly on the go, taking a healthy interest in everything that
you come across. You were born with an actively questioning mind and
an impulse to change the status quo. On the negative side, this can
make you appear argumentative and demanding. Used constructively,
however, this also enables you to come up with new solutions to old
problems. Above all else you are a builder, and, if it appears you
have a compulsion to tear down existing structures, it is merely
because you have the ability to replace them with something that is
not only more up-to-date, but is unquestionably an improvement on the
past. You will produce some of your greatest endeavors in your
thirties and early forties.
4) Gibbous Moon: Gibbous Moon individuals have a calming influence, a
caring, constructive nature and a compulsion to help others. Your
hope is that, through your life and work, you will contribute to the
improvement of the world in some way. Whether consciously or
unconsciously, this can become a "mission" with you ~ take care not
to follow ideologies too blindly in your eagerness to accomplish your
ends. Persevering in the face of obstacles will lead to maturity and
will bring fulfilment and enlightenment. Look to your middle age for
the recognition of your endeavors.
5) Full Moon: Being born in the middle of the cycle means that your
talents lie in bringing matters to fruition. You are adept at
tempering logic with instinct and practicality with creativity.
Moreover, this period acts like a bridge, linking you to the past,
but also projecting your ideas into the future. The negative side is
that you may suffer guilt and irrational fears, especially when it
comes to personal relationships. Only when you learn to take control
of your own feelings, rather than taking your emotional cue from your
partner, will you find a way of sustaining a mutually rewarding
intimate relationship. Your best efforts will find their flowering
after middle age.
6) Disseminating Moon: Since "to disseminate" means to scatter seeds,
your impulse is to sow your ideas and knowledge so that others may
learn from your experiences ~ you are a communicator and a teacher.
Dedicated to your ideals, if there is a touch of the revolutionary in
your nature, then it is purely and simply an urge to reform the
world. In your zeal to improve other people's lives, however, you may
need to find a compromise and learn how to reconcile your own vision
with the needs of others. Your early fifties should bring a sense of
achievement and contentment to your life.
7) Last Quarter: Your understanding, sympathy, maturity, and poise
transcend your years and so you excel in a counseling or advisory
capacity. You help others to marshall their thoughts, expand their
awareness, resolve their problems, and organize their lives. Some
may interpret your idealism as inflexibility. Prone at times to
nostalgia or melancholia, you need to put aside the past and
concentrate on the future. Contentment and fulfilment will come in
your later fifties.
8) Balsamic Moon: This time is essentailly one of transition, a
chance to contemplate what has passed, tie up loose ends, journey
inwards, and prepare for new beginnings ahead. You have inherited
the meditative and introspective characteristics of this phase and
yours is a dreamy, contemplative personality. Intuitive and far-
sighted, you have innate wisdom and a mystical understanding of the
workings of Mother Nature and of the human condition. For you,
activity is spiritual and intellectual rather than physical. Your
experiences
involve endings and passings, so you are likely to live through many
changes. Later life, rather than the earlier years, holds the key to
your happiness and success.
