Astrology's strong point is its ability to uncover areas where cosmic energies support a myriad of possibilities. 


One of the fundamental components of Astrology is that of planetary aspects


On the most basic level, astrology is about a symbolic relationship between the planets and ourselves.

The planets signify basic drives or urge in the unconscious. They define themselves with different qualities in the twelve signs of an Astrology Natal (Birth) Chart and the twelve houses.

The Significance of planets is their various positions in our horoscope bind the relationship between the planets and astrological signs. They dictate how planets and zodiacal signs interact and show the forces at work that exist between them. They tell us whether that relationship between the planets (the parts of our lives they symbolise) will be in harmony or disharmony.

Through these aspects, the Astrologer slowly develops a story about an Astrology Natal (Birth) Chart , an individual - they give profound and insightful information.

The planetary effects on human behaviour create different temperaments, which manifest in different ways. These planets have a natural force that affects the biological, physical, mental-emotional states of the individual. 



Previously, The Planet Aspects, THE SUN: SOL (the most powerful of all the planetary figures at play) – the ‘Boss Planet’ of our chart directs us. Where we must meet and deal with the areas of our life to find ultimate fufillment.

Introduction 


A KING IN CONSTELLATIONS


Luna is in the second largest place in the solar system and the fastest moving celestial body in the sky. This intriguing orb moves the ocean's tides, and its combined shifting new to full phases creates an energy that is fluctuating and often somewhat unstable.

The Moon in the chart represents vital needs, controlling our emotions, feeling, instincts, feminine energy, security, and power over people's masses.


Significant Features (Fundamental Essence)

 

In astrology, the Moon is the mediator between the inner world and the outer world.

Luna is one of the most significant indicators of personality and emotional response that exists in the chart. It represents our emotional inner world, symbolising everything beneath the surface. This heavenly body represents the spiritual retreat of our most private selves. It is the soul and emotions of us presiding over our spontaneous and instinctual emotional reactions, responses and feelings that often seem beyond our ability to control effectively.

It is responsive, receptive, and reflective. Hence, the Moon regulates the rhythmic ebb and flow of activity and energy.

The Moon also infuses the past into our lives through feelings. This essential Solar System inhabitant rules our habitual behaviours and prejudices. 

Belonging to the Moon are our Modes of expression that are truly our deepest selves. Our moon sign, focusing inward, reveals our emotional core and determines how we process our feelings and moods, and understanding. It characterises our deepest personal needs, our essential habits and reactions, and our unconscious.

The Moon sign expresses how we instinctively react or respond to problems. What we feel we need for a sense of security. It shows how we protect ourselves and make ourselves feel secure, comfortable, and safe. When the emotional life is out of control, The Moon transmits a powerful temptation to stay in the comfort zone.

Further, the Moon is that which gives us animation.

The gentle, emotion-driven Moon is the subtle, compassionate, nurturing, and nostalgic mother-figure of the Astrologer's chart. ‘She’ represents our inner emotions, the parts within us that we cannot express. In other words, the Moon governs over the shadowy, more vulnerable sides of ourselves. We do not show the intimate parts of us to others unless we feel intimate and safe with them, particularly the things we need to feel protected, comfortable, and emotionally secure.

Also, the Moon personifies the female energy that exists within each of us. So, it is associated with the mother as well as the domestic scene in general. Luna is both our inner child and our inner mother. ‘She’ reigns over our maternal side, our mother (issues), our memories, childhood experiences, upbringing in general and even what foods we enjoy."

The Moons’ position in our natal chart

BY SIGN shows how we portray emotion and respond to our environment and our instinctual habits, especially in our homes and private.

BY HOUSE, the past and areas of life where we function out of intuitive awareness, those areas of life where we sense the most comfortable.

To sum up, the best effect of the Moon is nurturing and sensitive, and the worst effect can denote immaturity and a reluctance to leave the past behind.

When we are “enacting out” our Moon positively, we are inventive, creative, spontaneous, sentimental, flexible, reflective, and caring. Negatively, we can be moody, restless, and irrational. 

Whenever insecurities arise, and our feelings become involved, we tend to bring the traits (the sign) of our Moon into play. The Moon is like our security blanket.

Whatever we feel is most deeply our-self, whether or not change is possible in the exterior world, is controlled by our Moon and the sign it occupies at birth.

It is wise to give our Moon neither too much nor too little importance in our life for true happiness in life.

In closing our journey around the Moon, upon departing, below is an evocative description that aptly describes this intriguing planet that commands our souls.


Our thoughts that lie too deep for tears are the thoughts of our Moon’s nature.



Until we take our next journey around the Planets together, cheers for now.



Note

For some of us, our Moon seems to drive our personalities more than the Sun does .
