An Interview on the Moon

The Moon represents feelings and emotions. Like the Moon in the sky reflecting the Sun's light, the Moon in the birth chart is reflective, soulful and sensitive. The Moon represents the instinctive, intuitive part of you. When you respond without thinking, almost as if driven by primal instinct, that is the Moon acting in your life. The Moon is also a symbol for mother and by sign shows what you need to feel nurtured. Aspects, (lines of energy), from other planets to the Moon describe your relationship to "Mum", plus shows how well you understand your own emotional needs or not as the case may be. What is the meaning of the Moon in the birth chart? The Moon represents feelings and emotions. Like the Moon in the sky reflecting the Sun's light, the Moon in the birth chart is reflective, soulful and sensitive. The Moon represents the instinctive, intuitive part of you. When you respond without thinking, almost as if driven by primal instinct, that is the Moon acting in your life. The Moon is also a symbol for mother and by sign shows what you need to feel nurtured. Aspects, (lines of energy), from other planets to the Moon describe your relationship to "Mum", plus shows how well you understand your own emotional needs or not as the case may be. How does the Moon affect our path through life? The Moon influences in a subtle yet meaningful way. Decisions that aren't necessarily logical or explainable, but are intrinsically important, are Moon based decisions. The Moon craves safety, security and comfort and the unique path to create these qualities in our lives is described by the Moon. The Moon, being an inner, yin and subjective energy doesn't need external achievements; instead it's the quiet moments with loved ones, in places that are familiar to us, that bring the Moon most joy. The Moon is the unspoken guiding force that craves emotional attachment and a sense of safety. The sign, house and aspects of the Moon describe the unique experience of "home," safety and connection for you. Does it affect us on a daily basis? The Moon moves through the entire sky (and therefore the whole birth chart) once every 28 days, changing signs about every 48hours. As the Moon moves through the Zodiac she makes a unique passage through your birth chart. When the Moon moves through your 1st house you think about yourself; when the Moon is moving through your 7th House you think about those you love. The Moon affects everyone on a daily basis but in different ways. Her movement around the sky (and the birth chart) is like the second hand on a clock ticking off 48 hour intervals that highlight different areas (via the houses) of your life. Dose the phase of the Moon affect us? Yes. The phase of the Moon you are most affected by is the Moon phase you were born under. I.e. if you were both when the Sun and Moon are opposite (at a Full Moon) then every month you will be extra sensitive and highly fertile (both physically and creatively) at the Full Moon. Find out what Moon phase you were born under and watch as you notice the extra inspiration that is on offer to you at that time each month. Copyright 2006 Kelly Surtees
