NEW MOON
The time to begin new projects; whatever house it transits
in the birth chart will be the prominent theme for the month.
Usually, the twelve houses are "visited" by the New Moon
around the same time each year, and when the New Moon
transits the First House, it signifies the querent's Lunar
New Year, and the beginning of a new cycle.
It is a good idea to look ahead for your year... if the
New Moon is in the FIRST HOUSE this month, then it will
probably be in the SECOND HOUSE next month, and so
on... you have to look at your own chart to determine where
the New Moon falls. [Note: sometimes you may skip a
house or have the New Moon visit the same house 2
months in a row.... you have to look at your personal
natal chart to know for sure].
For a more detailed look at how it transits your
INDIVIDUAL birthchart, consider ordering a chart from us
(includes instructions for finding the New Moon in your
chart and more) personal astrology reports for help in
interpreting it, or personal consultations available via email
or phone.

GMT Time Zones
World Time Zone Conversion Chart (To Find The Exact Time In Your Area
Greenwich Mean Time is a world standard consisting of 24 time zones starting at GMT 0 which passes through Greenwich, England. GMT time zones decrease from GMT-1 to GMT-12 heading West. GMT time zones increase from GMT+1 to GMT+12 heading East.
Most of the United States falls within either Eastern, Central, Mountain, or Pacific standard time zones which are GMT-5, GMT-6, GMT-7, and GMT-8, respectively. During the summer months, Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific Daylight Savings time zones are GMT-4, GMT-5, GMT-6, GMT-7, respectively - check with your friends to see if they also change times during the summer months - some countries do and some don't, so your relative difference with friends around the world may or may not change. Some countries also change at different times than we do here in the US. Ask, and this chart should make the answers easier to understand. Start with Greenwich in the middle and go out from there.
