The lunation period beginning with the new moon on May 24th and culminating with the full moon on June 7th, as read from Washington D.C., points out the following developments in the U.S.:

The new moon falling in the 12th house points, on the one hand, to an increase in crime, and trouble in connection to hospitals and prisons, and on the other hand, to possible legislative developments that aim to benefit the poor and improve housing conditions, especially in impoverished locations. These legislative developments, however, will likely be held back or up-staged, and by full moon, conditions of crime and poverty along with poor conditions in hospitals and prisons will only have worsened. Crime appears linked to deaths by contaminated drugs, or poisoning. There may also be deaths in the country linked to contaminated foods.

The new moon chart shows sudden and unexpected developments in Government circles that will require careful management. These appear linked to international relations and trade that will loom up in importance by full moon. These developments are also connected to problems in big business, the stock market, public expenditures and government bailouts. On a positive note, the entire lunation period favors the areas of publishing and entertainments.

The Chinese chart made for the lunation period shows a continuing tendency in the country to worry. The entire summer period, according to the Chinese chart for the summer, has very strong indications of a general condition of anxiety in the country. The lunation chart, in addition, points to a growing spirit of intolerance and shows the need to cultivate calm reflection to remedy poor planning and bad decision making. This is a weak period for business, and people in general are being competitive. The Chinese chart also shows distinct indications of romance. Romance in an atmosphere of intolerance makes for a dangerous atmosphere. Relationships, including marriages are vulnerable. Nonetheless, this is a favorable time for people to get married.

The Chinese chart reduced to an I Ching hexagram gives us hexagram 27, The Corners of the Mouth, line 6. The hexagram’s image is that of a dragon in a deep pool. It tells us to hold to the good and keep far away from evil actions. Pay attention to providing nourishment, and be mindful of your words. The 6th line advises us to persevere despite difficulties. The advice for those in positions of power is to nourish others impartially. Recognition of responsibilities will being good fortune.
