Steven Forrest talks about a new book he is working on called "The Book of the Moon". He discusses how the astrological study of the phases of the moon has been obscured due to the emphasis historically on Judeo/Christian and materialistic thinking. Inspired by Dane Rudhyar and Celtic and Pagan Holidays he explains why he uses an eight-phase system for understanding the moon. He discusses how the phase of the moon and the out of bounds moon and the speed of the moon interact and effect consciousness. Forrest also shares some anecdotes in order to describe the new moon, 1st quarter, full moon and 3rd quarter phases of the moon.
