CRISIS LUNATIONS: (Super Moon)
Crisis Lunation periods occurs when, at the time that the Moon is New or Full, the Moon is physically very close to the earth. This closeness-lunation parallel will amplify our emotional reactions, bringing matters to a crisis point. This Crisis Moon period usually begins about one week before the New/Full Moon and lasts several days afterward. There is nothing SUPER about it – it is a Crises Lunation.
I find that you are only affected by one of the Crisis Moon periods, usually one that falls close to a natal planet. When a crisis arises, my advice is always to “stay calm, relax and make no impulsive decisions for at least a week.” The most critical are eclipses.
A most potent occurred on April 15, 1995, because it occurred at the time of a Lunar Eclipse. Of course, the event it portended was the Oklahoma City bombing as the Eclipse fell on the ASC/DESC axis over that city. The WTC/Pentagon attack occurred within a wide orb of a Crisis Lunation.
The US invaded Iraq on a Crisis Full Moon in March 2003. I remember one example – a father called about his daughter who had run away from home about 4 days before the CFM. I told him what was occurring and that he should wait for about a week and she would likely return home….and she did. After the effects of the CFM were over, she became rational again. Hormones and a CFM are not a good mix!
During the year, there are generally 4 Crisis New Moons and 4 Crisis Full Moons. There is usually only ONE of these CFMs that hits you — generally, not all of them — and you cannot always tell which one it is going to be. When it hits, you go crazy and your emotions are magnified. But, when the Moon begins to move away from the earth, we calm down.
I am a Virgo so a rational explanation is very satisfying for me. If I know that I am feeling this way because of some astrological/astronomical configuration, it makes it seem OK and I feel much better. Yet, there are times when events occur that are not transient.
Crises Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse: On April 25 2013, the Perigee Moon occurred at the time of the lunar eclipse. This had been a terrible time with fires, explosions and political crises. Around May 25, another eclipse, bridges collapsed and earthquakes brought destruction.
During a Personal Crises Lunation in 2013, I had an automobile accident and, at another Crises Lunation in 2015, after getting out of jail, this man with whom I had the accident tried to sue me for total disability, hoping that I would not show up in New Jersey for the deposition. I have this discussed under the list of personal experiences.
In January 2019, at the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse Crises Lunation, I received a message that my dad had passed away while I was in Switzerland.
The month of August 2019 had a Crisis New Moon at the beginning and at the end of the month. This is somewhat like a Blue Moon month. The Blue Moon (see a short article on my website) is a Full Moon at the beginning and end of the month. It is my experience that it is like an entire month of Full Moon crises and tension. August being bracketed by a Crises New Moon is like a month of crises – at least for me. I had a dental crisis, my cat became very ill, and the non-profit that runs my farm had taken all of the joy out of farming for me. Yes, I have a good lawyer.
The Crises New Moon occurred on my birthday, August 30, 2019. A lunation occurring on or within a day of one’s birthday will trigger a major change within the coming year. This works even if it is not a Crises Lunation. The major change was in my home – major renovations and Bill moved in with me.
At the March 2020 CFM, I had a terrible panic attack at night – I thought I was going to have a heart attack. In August and September, with the CNMs, there were so many plumbing problems. My pipes are mostly from the 1930s so they are in bad shape. During the November CNM, my old desktop started to grind and make a lot of noise. Just as I was about to take it to Ellicott City to a repair shop, my lawyer came by and told me about a mutual friend a couple of blocks away and he fixed it for $20!!! It just needed cleaning and oiling.
The Crises Full Moon for August 19 2024 has Saturn square Jupiter at 17 degrees (Pisces/Gemini). This hits my natal Uranus at 17 Gemini. I have felt very depressed and over-whelmed. I did have a crisis as the energy moved towards this period – I ran over some decorated rocks left in the high grass by some volunteers and they broke the blades on my tractor (and I have an acre to mow). The good news is that I purchased my Cub Cadet at Zimmermans in Burtonsville MD. They immediately came down, picked up the tractor and returned it in 2 days! It was more of a crisis since using a push mow is difficult since I tore the ligaments in the back of my left knee – while doing stretching exercises in the bed.
