Dana Gerhardt’s Moonwatching

By April Elliott Kent

I’ve received so many requests for copies of my MoonWatching series in The Mountain Astrologer, that I’ve decided to make these articles available as an e-book. Ten chapters will give you a practical understanding of both the astrology and the personal experience of each of the eight moon phases.

“With great mastery, gentleness, and humor Dana reminds us of the Moon’s ability to connect us deeply. Her brilliant work re-awakens soulful memories for those willing to sit still long enough to tune into the rhythm of the Moon’s everchanging pulse.” ~ Laurence Hillman, astrologer and coauthor of Alignments, How to Live in Harmony with the Universe
