Moon Families

Moon Family Table

Moon Families (also known as Lunation Families) is a method developed by Dietrech J. Pessin and described in her book Lunar Shados: The Lost Key to the Timing of Eclipses. The idea is that each lunation is part of a 'family' of lunations. Pessin's idea is that these lunations are linked and that a development at the New Moon will unfold through the moon family cycle - following Rudhyar's description of the symbolism of the lunation cycle.

The Moon Families table presents the following information:

• Lunation Families - these are metonic cycles. The Moon family repeats according to the 19 year metonic cycle.
• New Moon - the date of the New Moon that starts each Moon Family.
• 1st Quarter
• Full Moon
• 3rd Quarter
