As the Moon moves through the zodiac it spends approximately 2 1/2 days in each sign.  Unique influences from each zodiac sign affect the unconscious in subtle and profound ways.  These influences wax and wane and can be tempered or amplified by the signs on either side of the current Moon's placement.
