Next Aspect
1. Choose the aspect and planet you want as the influence and coordinate it with the
last aspect of the Moon (the planet aspected by the moon at the last aspect isnt crucial,
but if you can use a planet that has a relevance to the matter, the more effective you can be.
Use an almanac to find aspects.)
