Local: Feb 5, 1987, 4:21 PM UTC
The Moon stands in square (quartile) to the Sun, having completed one quarter of its synodic cycle. Classical doctrine marks this as a moment of tension, decision, and action - the Moon's will presses against the solar principle.
First Quarter in TaurusLocal: Feb 13, 1987, 8:58 PM UTC
The Moon stands in opposition to the Sun, achieving maximum illumination. Classical doctrine treats the Full Moon as a peak of lunar expression - the Moon is fully lit, powerful, and separated from the Sun by the widest arc.
Full Moon in LeoLocal: Feb 21, 1987, 8:56 AM UTC
The Moon stands in its third square to the Sun, now waning and decreasing in light. Classical doctrine marks this as a moment of release, clearing, and dissolution as the cycle moves toward its end.
Last Quarter in SagittariusLocal: Feb 28, 1987, 12:51 AM UTC
The Moon conjoins the Sun, becoming invisible and combust. Classical doctrine regards this as the weakest lunar condition - the Moon is without light, applying to the Sun, and incapable of reflecting its rays.
