About the Lunar Conception Method

1. The Discovery

In the middle of 1950s a young Slovakian doctor named Eugen Jonas has discovered something completely unknown to the contemporary science: that in addition to the scientifically established hormonal cycle, women have another fertility cycle that resonates with the cycles of the Moon. He was led to this discovery by his interest in astrology that Dr. Jonas developed in his student years.

It all began from an assertion in an Assyrian source that Dr. Jonas happened to find in a library: "Woman is fertile during a certain phase of the Moon." But which exactly phase? After a lengthy period of research and endless calculations, he managed to find the answer. As he wrote himself, "Finally, on August 15, 1956, I arrived at the first three fundamental rules on conception, the determination of sex and life capability of the fetus, all of which can be precisely formulated" (quoted from [1]).

These three rules are:

  1. The time of fertility occurs during the same phase of the Moon as that in which the woman was born. For instance, if the woman was born at the time of the Full Moon, when the Moon makes an angle of 180° with the Sun, the time of fertility during her adulthood will be whenever the Moon is full, and this independently of her menstrual cycle.
  2. The sex of the future child will be determined by the position of the Moon during the time of the woman's fertility - whether the Moon is found in the male or in the female sign of the Zodiac.
  3. Unfavorable distribution of gravitational forces of the near celestial bodies at the time of conception produces complications during pregnancy, particularly for the fetus.

These rules were officialy tested by experienced gynecologists (Dr. Kurt Rechnitz of Hungary was one of the most active researchers in this ares). It was discovered that on the lunar phase day a woman is usually significantly more fertile than on the day of ovulation in her hormonal cycle.
