See the bold text at the bottom of the post.
I've set up a discussion board for people born under the Balsamic Moon (the waning crescent phase) at Tribe.net. The address is http://tribes.tribe.net/balsamicmoon.
What's this all about? Well, to quote myself: "The balsamic phase is fundamentally connected to spiritual development and discernment -- to the exclusion of all else, some might say."
Moses Siregar III, the creator of the Astrology for the Soul site, wrote this about the balsamic phase: "The purpose of the last two (of eight) lunar phases is to prepare for death, like the last fourth of a life. The intention is (1) fundamentally spiritual, not material, and (2) to leave behind the seeds of one's life for others. When someone is born under these phases, their life takes on these qualities, but the balsamic is stronger than the third quarter in both of these respects. If worth is measured by what produces spiritual awakening, then these phases are gold. They're extremely difficult at times, but spiritually they are probably the most powerful houses for creating transformation.
"Since the intention of these phases are spiritual, these phases are largely about the transformation of the ego, and so they are somewhat inimical to the normal flow of (material) life. However, if one is prepared to burn up one's karma in the fire of life, and set aside one's karma through selfless service, then these lunar phases can become the most enlightened. By giving up the false addictions of this world, dedicating oneself to awakening, and making oneself available to the Universe, these phases can become the most wonderful of all. But that's a Herculean task. Luckily, we've all got a little Hercules inside..."
Want to know the phase of the Moon when you were born? Plug in your birth info and location at Astrodienst, AstroGraph or Astrolabe...
But keep in mind that those sites default to the Western/tropical zodiac. I highly recommend that you learn your sidereal chart, since that will show where the Sun, Moon and planets actually were in space when you were born. Western astrology assumes that the Earth's rotation and tilt (and thus the position of planetary bodies relative to the Earth) haven't changed in 2000 years, which simply ain't the case.
