Determining Your Personal Lunar Cycle: Step 1. Identify your Sun-Moon phase-angle degree within the 360° lunar cycle. Step 2. Determine which of the four Quarters (0° New, 90° First Quarter, 180° Full, 270° Last Quarter) of the Collective Lunar Cycle is nearest your Sun-Moon phase angle: Step 3. Subtract the difference in degrees between the natal phase-angle return and the nearest of the four Quarters in the Collective Cycle. 165° Sun-Moon phase angle 290° Sun-Moon phase angle Step 4. Multiply the difference in degrees (the number you obtained in Step 3) by 2, as the Moon travels 1° every 2 hours. Sun-Moon phase angle of 290° Step 5. Count back three days from the time of your Personal New Moon to determine your Personal Dark of the Moon phase. The Astrological Calendar AFA/Circle Books, (1) published each year, lists the Sun-Moon phase angles for each day at 12:00 p.m. EST. This data can be found in the lower left-hand corner of the block for each day. Find the date for the degree closest to your Sun-Moon phase angle. Count backward or forward by 1/2° per hour to determine your Personal New Moon. Convert to your time zone, if necessary. (1.) Michael, Margaret, and Stephen Erlewine, Matrix Software, Big Rapids, MI.
