The
Moon rules the sign of Cancer, and its energy relates
to our emotional needs and what it takes to make us
feel emotionally secure. Through the Moon, we can
get an idea of our mother, at least how we see her,
or our interpretation of her. For a man, the women
in his life can be seen in part by the Moon. The Moon,
like the Sun, makes up two of our personal points.
They tell us a great deal about the individual and
what makes us tick.
The
Moon has another job in Astrology, and it is also
an element of time. With the Moon, we can often pin-point
the hour of an event. This is because the Moon moves
very quickly through each sign, taking one month to
pass through all twelve signs. It spends about 2.5
days in each sign. The natal Moon comes back to its
natal placement once a month; from this moment we
can derive what we refer to as a Lunar
Return. From this chart we can predict the month
ahead.
The
Moon indicates our emotional security. The placement
of the Moon indicates the area of our life where we
might feel the most comfortable or settled, even happy.
An example might be someone who has a Moon in their
Ninth House, which would mean that they'd be very
happy learning and being involved in adventures. It
is through the Moon and its placement that we process
the emotional content of our lives. Through the placement
and aspects of the Moon we can understand more of
our own level of emotional security, as it tells us
also how sensitive we are as people.
Intuitive
ability can be enhanced by the Moon and its placement.
The ability to sense the feelings and emotions of
others is related directly to the Moon. The Moon is
a receptive factor in a chart. It relates to our sense
of security on the most basic of levels, the security
of our innermost self. The Moon can also relate to
things like food, as this is something that nurtures
us directly. It also relates to our home, or what
home represents to us. It relates to baggage, emotional
and otherwise. A difficultly-placed Moon, for example,
can show issues with the mother, or in being able
to find some kind of nurturing and security throughout
one's lifetime.
When
we look at transits to the Moon, you can be assured
that either something is going on with your own mother
directly or within the home itself. In some cases,
it can represent the women who are around you at the
time of the transit. As for actual Moon transits,
as well as you can tell by the speed of the Moon,
they come and go very quickly -- within hours -- and
they could have already past. In addition, we need
to remember that the Moon does a whole cycle every
month.
