	Lunar phase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In astronomy, a lunar phase is any of the aspects or appearances presented by the Moon as seen from Earth, determined by the portion of the Moon that is visibly illuminated by the Sun.
		The lunar phases vary cyclically as the Moon orbits the Earth, according to the relative positions of the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun.
		As the Moon orbits Earth, the Moon wanes, as the amount of illuminated lunar surface reduces, until the Moon effectively disappears at the New Moon, when the Moon is between Earth and the Sun and thus the illuminated half cannot be seen at all.

	Saros cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Therefore the circumstances of an eclipse are also very similar to an eclipse one Saros earlier, and an eclipse (which happens when a conjunction or opposition of the Sun and Moon occurs in one of the nodes, that is, crossing the plane of the orbit) occurs again one Saros later.
		Lunar eclipses slowly migrate from the southern edge of the earth's shadow towards the northern edges during sequential eclipses.
		The first total lunar eclipse in the series began in 1950 when the moon crossed fully into the southern edge of the earth's shadow.

	Cycles Research Institute - Lunar Cycles
		Lunar cycles are varied and extremely complex and yet the moon has more effect on the earth than any other body except the Sun.
		This 2.72 year cycle brings lunar phases back to the same time of the year, but because 2.72 is not near an integer it only does so approximately and more similar lunar phases at the same time of year occur after 8, 11 or 19 years.
		Because two 8.85 year anomaly cycles makes 17.7 years and this is a bit less than the 18.6 year nodal cycles, there is a gradual drift between these two interacting which only repeats after 180 years or 90 years if the two nodes are regarded as equivalent.

	Menstruation: Your Menstrual Cyle and the Lunar Phase Fertility
		As a result, some believe that it is possible for a woman to have two fertile times during her menstrual cycle: the first occurring when she ovulates and the second according to her lunar phase fertility period.
		The lunar fertility cycle works on the premise that you can be fertile during your menstrual cycle when the moon is in the same phase it was when you were born.
		Because the lunar fertility cycle works on a 28-day cycle and your menstrual cycle (most likely) does not, this means that it is possible for you to be fertile twice during the same menstrual cycle.

	Dr. Cutler's 1980 published paper, Lunar and Menstrual Phase Locking
		Then each cycle onset was recorded in relation to its phase of the lunar cycle, in an attempt to determine whether certain phases of the moon were associated with a disproportionately high incidence of menses onsets.
		Since menstrual and lunar cycles are repetitive, a circular chart (the lunar clock) for recording data was devised to tabulate the repeating cyclic phenomena in the natural form of a clock.
		Finally, it is asked whether women with irregular menstrual cycles (an irregular cycler was defined either as one whose standard deviation about her mean cycle exceeded 8 days or as one with an obviously long cycle of >30 days) would also show a convergence of menses onsets during the light phase of the moon.

	The Lunar Gestation Cycle by Dietrech J. Pessin
		The timing of events with the Lunar Gestation Cycle supports an understanding of the long-range impact of Solar and Lunar Eclipses as the related matters of an event develops along a predictable pattern.
		Eclipses are at the root of the Lunar Gestation Cycle.
		"Lunar Gestation Cycle" is a trademark of Dietrech J. Pessin.

	Lunar Cycle
		The purpose of this paper is to derive a cycle relating the lunar cycle to an equity average.
		The lunar cycle is defined by astrono- mers by the period beginning and ending with the conjunction of the sun and the moon.
		If the cycle is indeed operative, then the highs would tend to cluster around the cycle high, the crescent, 1st quarter, and gibbous phases.

	THE LUNAR PERIGEE-SYZYGY CYCLE FOR 1998: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The motion of the lunar apse through the various lunar phases establishes the perigee-syzygy cycle, which is the coincidence of a syzygy phase with a perigee position.
		In this paper, I review some of the lunar cycles that affect the amplitudes of the astronomic tides, give the details of the 1998 perigee-syzygy situation, present the lunar setting of the great coastal storm of 05-08 March 1962, and close with a few speculations about the possible importance of lunar cycles.
		Whether the lunar perigee-syzygy cycles exert any other effects on the Earth apart from those related to the amplitudes of the astronomic tides on the surface of the ocean remains to be determined.

	A Significant Jubilee Cycle
		It is also significant that a calendar of lunar weeks--as previously detailed--inherently requires 12 jubilee cycles (or 600 years) to complete all possible combinations of quarter phases and to return (the same Moon phase) in conjunction with the annual circle.
		The adherence to a jubilee cycle of 49 years (as was probably taught by more than a single of the rabbis) tends to further indicate that a 50th year was not officially approved under the late Second Temple.
		This duel adherence--both to a lunar cycle of 50 years and also to a solar cycle of 70 years--can seemingly be recognized from the annals of certain neighbors to ancient Israel.

	Lunar Menstrual Phase Locking
		For example, if the lunar cycle were drawn as a clock that had 30 (rounded up from 29.5) "pie sectors", and a particular woman who did not have a 29.5 day cycle was charting her data, certain phenomena would emerge.
		If she plotted 6 cycles of her own on the 30 day clock, and the first cycle appeared at the full moon, then the next cycle would appear 5 days after the full moon and the third cycle would be 5 days later than, and so on.
		It is not surprising to learn of a coordinated phase relationship between the reproductive cycles of women and the repeating cycle of lunar periods because even a cursory review of the literature shows that many different animals show a reproductive system reaction to external stimuli.

	Dietrech Pessin's Lunar Shadows II - the Book
		This book describes the Lunar Gestation Cycle, a term I coined and which most closely describes the nature of a sub-cycle of Moon Phases I discovered in the late 80's and began writing about in 1994.
		This cycle is the first Lunar cycle that most closely correlates with the human gestation cycle as it occurs at nine-month intervals.
		The Lunar Gestation Cycle is also discussed in a free on-line and Radio Weekly Report, to give an overall view of the current astrological activity, and as it may relate to the news headlines of the time.

	Personal Lunar Cycles
		It is in the transition period between lunar cycles, however, that the Moon teaches us how to transcend duality.
		The vibration of the Personal Lunar Cycle can be perceived as subtler than the Collective Cycle because the potency of the Personal Cycle relates to the fulfillment of individual destiny.
		Just as in the Collective Lunar Cycle's Dark of the Moon, the Personal Dark of the Moon is a time for observing the void, in absolute stillness, as one cycle dissolves and the next begins.

	A Lunar Cycle \| polysyllabic
		Lunar cycles were the most common basis for early calendars.
		These calendars were often not based on any mathematical determination of the synodic month at all, but relied, particularly in their earliest formulations, upon direct observation to determine the new month.
		The historical development of lunar and lunisolar calendars is largely a matter of replacing direct observation by mathematical formulas and tables that allow the prediction of the month’s start without the need for observation.

	Lunar Calculations at Knowth
		The Lunar Stone presents a format that can be used to track the synodic month, and from it we can obtain very important calculations of large subunits of the Lunar, or "Metonic", Cycle.
		A tropical lunar month is defined by the amount of time it takes the Moon to reach the same background stars again – it is equal to 27.322 days.
		Another 'Lunar Stone' at Knowth can also be used to calculate the exact length of the year, as well as both the siderial and synodic lunar months.

	The Lunar Planner: Sidereal Astrology
		You can use the lunar calendar as a daily planner as well as a way to note your experiences and feelings as the changing lunar phase occur--a process which can help you to become consciously aware of the lunar rhythm in your life and how to participate with it in empowerment.
		Living in attunement to the Lunar Cycles cultivates a body-mind awareness where our attention shifts to the intuitive feeling side of self, where we learn to participate in harmony with the natural rhythm that governs our experiential world--in the power of the present.
		As we move through this cycle, Earth's polar axis geometrically reorients in its evolutionary system--Earth's solar gravomagnetic field reorients in the unified field of galactic awareness.

	Fertility Calendar: Lunar Fertility Calendar - Your Lunar Fertility Cycle & Conception Times. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The Lunar Fertility Cycle is as unique to each woman as her menstrual cycle is. The Lunar Fertility Cycle reveals that certain months are especially favorable for pregnancy success; pregnancy success usually occurs when the Lunar Fertility Cycle is peaking.
		If you have menstrual cycles that are much longer than the average 28 day cycle… your Lunar Fertility Cycle, like that of the woman who has very short cycles, will peak 2-6 times a year and those months are especially favorable for pregnancy success.
		And again, we have noticed that when the Lunar Return begins to fall near her menstruation, a woman often experiences a change in menstrual cycle length, that is, she ovulates sooner or later than she had expected.

	The Lunar Planner: Synodic Cycles & Planetary Retrogrades
		Planetary Synodic Cycles are cycles that occur between one planet and another.
		Because the Earth and each planet orbits the sun at different rates of speed, the duration of the synodic cycle between the Earth and each planet is unique as is the location in the ecliptic where each alignment occurs.
		The second trine in the cycle (240°)--one planet approaching another planet--creates a magnetic release, an opportunistic time of giving forth, of sharing in demonstrable manifestation, marking the birth point in the cycle.

	Zodiac Arts - Articles - The 8 Phase Lunar Cycle
		Observation of solar and lunar cycles is the basis of astrology.
		Although most commonly associated with the lunation cycle, this eight-phase division is used in many spiritual teachings and can be applied to any of life's cycles.
		The function of each stage in a cycle is to support the next stage, on through to the end so that the cycle can begin again and continue moving forward.

	Lunar Creation Cycle
		This is the beginning of the lunar cycle, and during this time we feel pulled to concentrate on a new direction, focus and theme.
		You've gotten a little clearer on who you are during this lunar cycle, and its time to release whatever is holding you back from a more joyous life.
		This is the last phase of the lunar cycle, a time for letting go of the past and looking ahead to the future.

	Lunar Cycles
		The following is one idea for how you can use the tarot along with the energies of the natural lunar cycle to reach a goal, complete a task, or simply live more in tune with the energies of the moon.
		The overall concept is to choose one area to focus on for the coming lunar month, and use the energies of the moon to help you bring it to fruition during the month.
		Before the lunar cycle starts, look up the dates and times when the moon enters each phase, making sure to adjust them for your time zone.

	The Lunar Cycle
		The Lunar or Lunation cycle refers to the journey that the Moon makes each month as it travels through its phases - from new moon to full moon and back to new moon again.
		This cycle exerts a major influence upon women and their menstrual cycles.
		The average length of a menstrual cycle is 29 days, which is exactly the time it takes for the Moon to travel through her phases.

		The synodic cycle of the Moon is usually broken down into phases, or quarters.
		it is the seed of the beginning lunar cycle.
		If rejection of the shackles from the past is not clear or complete, and if growth is lethargic, then the illumination and growth offered during this cycle cannot be fully integrated.

	Saros cycle of Moon; lunar Saros cycle
		Saros cycle of the Moon: the lunar Saros cycle
		Because of the actual size of the Earth and the Moon relative to their distance apart, the Moon's shadow is only long enough to reach the Earth (solar eclipse) when it is closest to the Earth.
		And during the reign of king Nabu-Nasir, the Babylonian astronomers discovered that 235 lunar months are almost equal to 19 solar years, the difference being only about two hours—very helpful in creating a repeating lunar calendar.

	Major Lunar Standstill -- Moon Teachings for the Masses
		With the culmination of the 18.6 year cycle of the Moon in 2006, also called the Major Lunar Standstill, we are afforded the unique opportunity to teach the public about the monthly, annual, and 18.6-year wanderings of the Moon.
		The 18.6 year cycle is caused by the precession of the plane of the lunar orbit, while this orbit maintains a 5° tilt relative to the ecliptic.
		And, from month to month within the 18.6-year cycle, the Moon spends more time with the monthly range of rising and setting at the outer extremes (major standstill) and at the inner extremes (minor standstill) than at the middle extremes.

	LUNAR CYCLE ACTIVITY
		Eclipses are named for the body that is hidden; in a lunar eclipse the moon is obscured, and in a solar eclipse, the sun is covered.
		Is this a solar or a lunar eclipse?
		During solar and lunar eclipses the sun, earth, and moon lie in a straight line, but they are not arranged in the same order.
