Tarologist Maria Helena presents an astrological interpretation that associates the Moon phase at the time of birth with certain personality traits and the way each person approaches different moments in life. To find out what the lunar phase was on the day of birth, one simply needs to consult a Moon phases calendar for the relevant year. The reading divides births into the four main Moon phases and assigns distinct characteristics and challenges to each.
Those born during a Full Moon are described as someone with a strong concern for realizing their potential, possessing a sensitivity toward others that may lead them to take on problems that do not belong to them. These people go through periods of emotional renewal and personal growth, and each decade of life will bring new lessons, goals, and achievements. In the Last Quarter, the personality is associated with independence and intuition, with a mature stance from an early age and, from the age of 60 onward, a life lived according to one's own truth.
The New Moon is associated with growth, learning, and the desire to discover new things, with the person described as curious, confident, and optimistic, but possibly facing doubts and having difficulty accepting different perspectives. The First Quarter points to a tendency to question what one disagrees with, with an emotional personality guided by feelings. The challenge with maturity involves balancing this emotional component with the ability to listen to others, and the period between 30 and 40 years of age may be a stage for understanding life's purpose.
The four phases are not used solely to define personality traits, as the reading also associates specific ages or periods of life with moments of learning, change, or fulfillment. However, Maria Helena herself warns that this is an astrological reading and that the characteristics and predictions described should not be confused with scientific conclusions about personality or destiny.
