THIRTEENTH MOON
The 13th moon doesn't have a set posistion in the wheel with the other moons. During the year at least one of the quarters will have an 'extra' full moon. That is the 13th moon. The effects of this can amplify what is going on in that time. It can also create disorentation, and confusion.
One way to find where a person's 13th moon is. Is to close the eyes and drop a stone over the wheel. What it falls next to is what is being confused and/or amplfied.
