The Moon


The window of your soul. 

The Moon represents our soul and our needs. It governs the fluctuations of our emotions just as it governs the ebb and flow of the oceans tides. It represents our habit patterns and our moods. The moon takes 28 days to complete one cycle and so spends a little more than 2 days in each sign. Along with the Sun and the Rising Sign it is one of the most important factors in any chart.

The Moon indicates areas of life that we react to unconsciously. The house position of the Moon will give you an idea of the kinds of things that happen in the domestic life.

The actions of the Moon vacillate more than other planets because the Moon moves so quickly through the zodiac. Our emotions are up and down and all over the place as it makes its way through the heavens. We respond to, or don't respond to things based on the position of the Moon in the heavens, and the Aspects it makes to the other Planets.

The moon rules the 4th house and is represented by the sign of Cancer. Below is a java applet for the phases of the moon:
