The Moon is your inner world’s compass, and your birth Moon phase shapes everything from how you attach, rest, and recharge to how you process change over a lifetime. Steven Forrest weaves astronomy, myth, Celtic wisdom, and evolutionary astrology into accessible chapters on phases, signs, houses, void-of-course, out-of-bounds Moons, and progressed lunations, turning a often-overlooked point in the chart into a living, daily guide. It reads like a poetic field manual for your emotional body, making lunar cycles feel intimate, magical, and deeply practical for real life.​

What you can get from reading it

• Learn your natal Moon phase and what it says about your basic life script: are you a New Moon initiator, a Full Moon amplifier, or a waning sage, and how that colors your way of loving & choosing.
• Understand how Moon sign and house combine with phase, giving a richer, three-dimensional picture of your moods, needs, and “home base” than sign-only Moon books.
• Work with daily and monthly lunar cycles, void-of-course periods, and the progressed lunation cycle to time beginnings, endings, and inner work with far more nuance.
• Explore out-of-bounds Moons and declination in simple language, so you can recognize when your emotional life runs off the beaten path — and how to honor that without pathologizing it.
• Tap into the Moon as a portal to intuition, ancestral memory, and the so-called “Feminine” in all genders, reframing sensitivity as a strength and spiritual sense organ.​
