The Moon in Astrology is the ruling planet
of the sign Cancer and is affiliated with the fourth house. It represents the mothering instinct and is
linked to the feminine energies within each and every one of us. The Moon deals with primal emotional needs. It is where we nurture ourselves and take
care of ourselves on an emotional level.
It is where we feel safe within.
The Moon is reflective of our emotionally reaction to life’s problems
and also where we find the answers. It
provides us with a safe haven--a comfortable and secure emotional foundation
that feels like home. It is where we can
go and reside in a gentle manner away from the intrusive forces of life and
secure a place for ourselves during times of strife. We call this the emotional home or safe haven.
Feelings of security are linked to the Moon
and along with the 2nd house can provide the deepest emotional
support that each of us so fundamentally require. The Moon sign and its house position depict
our emotional reaction to outside stimuli in our lives.
For example, someone with the Moon in
Taurus, or in the second house, will find emotional security through building a
foundation often based on material gatherings and monetary comfort. Someone who has the Moon in Pisces will
secure this emotional structure through an interaction with the higher sources
and will find peace through communication with spirit and with having an
inclination to psychic linking and intuitive perception.
The Moon also rules the basic habits we
form in our formative years. The Moon is
reflective of our upbringing and often relates directly to the most nurturing
parent and how they provided us with early support in childhood. The moon is linked to the past and memories
from the past and also how the past has affected us in our world today. We carry with us how we were comforted
through “mothering” and how our emotional requirements were taken care of.
The Sun in Astrology has to do with our ego,
our will and our conscious selves, while the Moon has to do with instinctual
response on an emotional level, the unconscious mind and letting go of the ego
and its intervention. The Moon is responsive,
reactive and instinctual. It often deals
with our inner selves, our emotional being and our sense of self-worth.
The Moon is our deepest emotional self and
describes our needs, our emotional wants and how we emotionally react to the
world around us. The Moon is our
mothering side, our nurturing side and our response to the environment. This mothering and nurturing response to the
world deals with how we tend to our own emotional needs as well as how we tend
to the needs of those that are important to us.
In its positive responsive state, the Moon
fosters emotional interaction, sensitivity and the need to assist others on an
emotional level. This in turn provides
us with self-assuredness also on an emotional level. The Moon is representative our nurturing
requirements being met and then our natural response to the world around us in
times of need. It fosters emotional kindness,
emotional sympathy, emotional compassion and love.
In its more negative expression, the Moon
has to do with feelings of unworthiness, self-insufficiency, emotion worry,
excessive emotional responsiveness and a general feeling of anxiety about the
world around us.
The Moon by sign, house placement and
aspect will define our emotional reactions, the emotional state of being and
the emotional instinctive reactions to life itself.
We should also check the Moon’s position by
the element (Air, Earth, Water and Fire) and modality (Cardinal, Fixed and
Mutable).
