New Moon Mundane Charts: A Reflection
I've been casting New Moon charts for some time now, and then checking the results against events and news reports. My main purpose has been to satisfy my curiosity about the accuracy of New Moon charts. A secondary purpose has been to improve my understanding of astrology and the casting and reading of charts. This has been publicly embarrassing a couple of times, but served its purpose to a large extent. My understanding of astrological charts and aspects has gone up significantly, and I'm convinced that New Moon charts do predict the events of the month to some extent.
I've found that my charts and interpretations reflect my own political biases and the biases of my news sources to a large extent, so a proper mundane astrologer should probably be less biased and better informed than I have the time or inclination to be. Unfortunately for my astro-analyses, I don't have the time to really dig into current events to the extent I think I'd need to really create and delineate charts the way I think they probably ought to be done. A "just the facts" focus on the astrology without speculating on the way they will manifest is an obvious way around this issue, which is something I will consider in the future.
For the time being, I'm thinking about winding down my mundane astrology posts, or at least the habit I've developed of "checking" and posting the results. I'll see how I feel around the next New Moon. In the meantime, I've been struggling to find a focus for my blog; that's what I get for jumping into this whole writing thing with no plan for what I wanted to communicate in advance!
