A Moon Wobble is generally an unsettling time of sudden ups and downs, increased accidents and violence, unusual or extreme weather, greater incidence of earth activity, e.g. earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and intense, often volitile emotional behavior. People feel more restless and are more likely to over-react to problems. Anything begun during a Moon Wobble is usually short-lived because of the unstable energy--on average lasting 3 months to one year.
Moon Wobbles have benefits, too. They can be very stimulating times, bringing new contacts, innovative ideas, heightened creativity, and unexpected opportunites. Use them to gather information and consider different options, but wait until they are over to make final agreements and actually begin new ventures.
This powerful cycle was first recognized, then researched and named by noted American Mathematician and astrologer Carl Payne Tobey. He found that these cycles of intensified energies occur when the transiting Sun makes contact with the Lunar Nodes (the Lunar Nodes are where the orbit of the Moon intersects the orbit of the Earth around the Sun). There are usually 3.5 to 4 Moon Wobbles a year; however, occasionally there are 5, as in 1996.
Today, Signe Quinn Taff, protege of Carl Payne Tobey and outstanding astrologer in her own right, is the definitive authority on Moon Wobbles. She has calculated the dates for the Moon Wobbles given on StarCycling tapes and information sheets.
The focus for Moon Wobble phenomena varies according to the sign the Moon Wobble is occurring in; however, there are some general "rules of thumb" that apply to all Moon Wobbles.
