Dr.Jonas or Moon phase method
From Atlantis Rising #7
Can conception be predicted from the stars? Can the sex of the child be predetermined by choosing the hour of
conception according to the Moon's astrological sign? Do women actually experience two monthly ovulation cycles? Does an
understanding of the lunar cycle provide us with a reliable form of birth control? Can birth defects be avoided by
employing astrological analysis to choose the best moment of conception?

According to the research of Dr. Eugene Jonas (pronounced YohNash), a Czech psychiatrist and gynecologist, the answer
to all the above is emphatically yes! In fact, when tested on 10,000 women, Dr. Jonas Cosmo-Fertility concept was found
to be 97 per cent reliable. Certainly one of the most awesome discoveries of the century in terms of its significance
for modern women, you'd think the astrological cycle method would be common knowledge. Then, why don't more couples know
about it?
Dr. Jonas research began in 1956 as a result of having stumbled upon a fragment of an ancient Babylonian-Assyrian
text which read: Woman is only fertile during a certain phase of the moon. Unfortunately, the ancient astrologers
offered no explanation as to which phase of the moon they were referring. Jonas felt dismayed but undaunted. Nearby
Hungary had just legalized abortion. Being a Roman Catholic, Dr. Jonas opposed abortion on ethical grounds. He was also
concerned with the traumatic psychological effect abortion might have on his predominantly Roman Catholic clientele. He
well knew from his practice that the rhythm method was hardly reliable as a means of contraception. He read in the
fragment a possibility for safe contraception and a hope for supposedly barren women to conceive.
Jonas was well qualified to test the concept. Besides his medical credentials, Jonas was one of a group of
scientist-astrologers that called themselves Cosmobiologists. The cosmobiologists sought to observe and delineate the
effects of cosmic conditions and forcefields upon living matter. Because they were scientists and accredited physicians,
Jonas and his colleagues were careful to dissociate themselves from what they considered the more fanciful
fortune-teller forms of horoscope prediction. Modern-day cosmobiologist Reinhold Ebertein writes: Whilst many followers
of astrology fight shy of scientific research and especially statistics, cosmobiology endeavors to use every type of
research and methodology to further its knowledge and to help produce more accurate results. Jonas had also done
extensive research into the correlation of sunspot activity with human life on earth. He had studied astronomy as well
as astrology. He was also aware that scientists of other centuries such as Hippocrates and Kepler had practiced
astrology and that they had observed a correlation between the waxing and waning of the moon and fertility cycles.
After discovering the ancient fragment, Jonas went to work, drawing up natal charts or cosmograms as the
Cosmobiologists preferred to call them, comparing them with conception charts, searching for a pattern. In the summer of
1956, after several weeks of intensive research, Jonas arrived at what he called the first three fundamental rules on
conception, the determination of sex and the viability of the foetus, all of which can be precisely formulated.
The three rules are:
- The time of a woman's fertility depends on the recurrence of the angle of the sun and the
moon that occurred at the woman's own birth.
- The sex of the child depends on the position of the moon at conception.
- Certain planetary configurations at the time of conception can effect the viability of
the embryo.
So, how does this most natural, precise, and chemical-free form of contra/or con/ception work? The key is in
understanding rule number 1. Quite simply, if a woman were born, for example, during a New Moon, she would be fertile
during the New Moon each month. If she were born with the Sun and Moon at a 60-degree angle, as occurs five days after
the New Moon, she would become fertile when the Sun and Moon were at a 60-degree angle each month and for a period
either side of this peak period regardless of her menstrual cycle. To find out where the Sun and Moon were at your
moment of birth, you'll need to give an astrologer precise information as to the date, time and place of birth and ask
for a chart that tells you the angle.
Under Jonas system, a woman enters her cosmofertility period two days prior to the recurrence of the sun/lunar
return. So, if she is using this method as a means of contraception, she should practice abstinence (or some other form
of birth control) 36 hours before and 12 hours after the angle passes. Francesca Naish, an Australian astrologer
specializing in finding conception dates, suggests adding safety margins for possible error, egg and sperm life. (see
diagram). The results are a 4-day lunar interval that repeats once per lunar month, or every 29-1/2 days.
Moon phase method

Ovulation based on the hormonal changes of the menstrual cycle can be effected by the moon as well as by stress,
health and other factors. The moon cycle, on the other hand, is a constant, recurring 12 to 13 times a year. Unless the
fertile period of the menstrual cycle happens to coincide with the lunar cycle, a woman will have two fertility periods
a month which she can take advantage of or avoid. When both cycles are observed, Dr. Kurt Rechnitz, who expanded upon
Jonas work, claims 98% infallibility. He suggests for 100% accuracy to confirm results by taking the basal temperature.
Australian Astrologer Francesca Naish insists that if the two cycles do not coincide that the lunar cycle remains a potential only of an egg being
released. Nevertheless, as far as contraception goes, she insists that it is essential to abstain during the period of
the lunar return. Of these three rules, the second is by far the easiest to determine from an astrological point of
view. Simply stated, conception at the moment when the Moon is in a so-called masculine or yang sign (fire & air) will
result in a boy, whereas conception at the moment that the Moon is in a feminine or yin sign (earth & water) will give
you a girl. The Moon changes signs approximately every 2-1/2 days. Matching up the lunar cycle (rule number one) with
the desired moon sign to insure conception can take several months. Astrological calendars, indicating exactly at what
moment the Moon enters a new sign, are a popular item in esoteric bookshops and even in some of the bigger chains such
as B. Dalton. Preferably the moon should not be cuspal, moving from one sign unto another, for this method to work. Dr.
Balogh, a Hungarian Egyptologist, claims that Jonas took his theory from the ancient Egyptians, contending the theory is
at least 5,000 years old.
We know Jonas sex selection method works, but nobody really knows why it works. Naish speculates that the earth's magnetic field is affected by the phases of the Moon that in turn becomes a factor in the separating of male and female
chromosome-carrying sperm. E.R. Schweigert, quoted in Astrological Birth Control by Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder, the authors who originally brought Jonas work to the attention of the West, claims using the Moon Sign selection with 98% success. He believes that as the moon passes through the different signs of the zodiac, the acidity or alkalinity of the womb is effecting the sedimentation of the sperm.
H.L. Cornell, in his Medical Encyclopedia of Astrology, a must for anyone interested in medical astrology, writes: A Star Map of the Heavens is very important to study in helping to know the character and temperament of a person, and
also to diagnose diseases which are not especially shown or evident in the map of birth. Using astrological calculations, I knew the exact date of all four of my children's births contrary to the date given me by the doctor!
Jonas research and his battle for recognition is a story in itself. When he first arrived at his initial thesis,
Jonas mailed his data, case histories and conclusions to the Hungarian Academy of Science and the Czech Academy. At this
point he was encouraged to continue his research. He continued his research on his own but lacked funding. In 1960, Dr.
Aurel Hudcovic suggested he come and prove his theories at the Bratislava Clinic of Gynecology.At the Clinic he once
more compared his data with the actual sex resulting from the pregnant women at a Maternity Ward in Nitra, He was proved
correct in predicting the sex of the child in 83 out of 100 cases. Further refinement of the cosmic correlations
resulted in 98% accuracy!
Meanwhile, letters were pouring in from Hungary, Czechoslovakia, East and West Germany from women who sought help in
conceiving, sex selection or birth control. Cosmograms were drawn and programs outlined at no charge. Jonas began to
travel and give lectures on his ideas and on the notion of biorhythm. Newspapers began to publish his results and public
interest soared. But at the TBC Psychiatric Clinic where Jonas was one of the chief doctors, he was encouraged to stop
treating patients and to treat yourself. Clearly the message was be a psychiatrist or an astrologer, but not both! When
Jonas tried to get funding for his projects he was labeled crazy.
After all, what bearing could astrology have on medicine? Taking a leave of absence, Jonas went to Hungary to undergo
tests proving his sanity. His first published book, Predetermining the Sex of Your Child was translated into six
languages. Even so, he received no financial support.
Nevertheless, a handful of colleagues risked condemnation and supported Jonas. In 1968, the Czech Ministry of Health
founded the Astra Research Center for Planned Parenthood at Nitra. In the two months following its opening, Astra
processed 9,000 Cosmograms. Meanwhile, Ostrander and Schoreader brought some attention to Jonas ideas in the US in their
book Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain and later, Natural Birth Control.
Dr. Schweigart opened Astra International in Vienna and states the moon phase theories of Dr. Jonas and Dr. Reichnitz
have already become repeated facts. We feel it is almost incidental if these facts become universally accepted or
rejected. Perhaps it is up to the next generation to handle this. In the course of human history, it has often happened
that new knowledge collided with prevailing world outlooks.
Moon transit or Lunar Return method
At some point of every cycle the Moon occupies the same zodiac position as it was at the female birth time. Astrologers call this phenomenon a «Lunar Return».
Most pregnancies that result in live birth begin as a result of intercourse that took place near or during the Lunar Return time.
A lunar cycle of fertility is a great benefit to those trying-to-conceive women who suffer from highly irregular menstrual cycles. As there are fertile times that are unique to the menstrual cycle alone, there are also times within the Moon's lunar cycle that indicate fertility and conception likelihood, too. Every woman who is trying to conceive have intercourse during her Lunar Return time. Not only do most pregnancies begin
after intercourse that has taken place near or during the Lunar Return, very often women conceive during the Lunar Return time- even though they thought it was too early or too late in their
menstrual cycles to be fertile time. The fact that a woman's «fertile window» is more unpredictable than previously thought is not surprising when the lunar cycles are considered.
