The Moon 🌙

The Moon 🌙

Rising quietly amidst black curtains of clouds, the Moon is the ultimate celestial representation of feminine energies on Earth and is also the yin counterpart of the Sun’s yang and radiating energy. While the Sun symbolizes our ability to identify ourselves with some kind of individual purpose and consciousness, the Moon offers us the ability to identify ourselves subjectively and unconsciously with our surroundings.

The Moon’s feminine or yin characteristics start with the basic fact that she acts as a mysterious, silvery mirror for the Sun’s confident rays. When the Moon glows in our skies, she can only do so by reflecting sunlight. This is a powerful symbol of the Moon’s receptive capabilities, which are transposed into all humans on Earth in some way or another.

For example, as children, we were very much unable to react to external stimuli at first. Emotionally, children soak in their surroundings, absorbing emotional information of what’s projected onto them and reflecting other people’s sunny lights, like the Moon does. The Moon’s placement by sign and house, then, describes one’s emotional structure, which manifests in adult life as inexplicable and repetitive emotional reactions and habits. Inexplicable, because the origins of all emotional links and identifications are long lost in the watery memory of a time when there was no emotional consciousness. Such is the reasoning behind the Moon’s correlation to the emotional realm, memories and the past. And this is also why conditions of the 4th house, analogous to Cancer, which is ruled by the Moon, symbolize one’s upbringing and emotional environment at infancy.

Conditions of the Moon and of the 4th house also correlate to one’s ability to adapt. Through the Moon’s ever-changing nature, moving rapidly around Earth and reflecting various amounts of light on her way, we discover the ability to receive and accept change, an important yin attitude that allows us a more flexible path on our way to our Sun’s final purpose. This can be easily analyzed through the modality of the sign you’re looking at, in the sense that fixed signs are much more resistant to big changes than the mutable signs, for example, which are on the other side of the spectrum.

Ruling over the sign of Cancer, the Moon also describes where one finds emotional security, mimicking the child’s need to feel protected, loved and cared for. I’ll talk more deeply on emotional security on an upcoming post on Cancer Moons.

This planet’s correlation to intuition and sensitivity can also be better understood considering the Moon’s association with childhood. Babies cannot perceive themselves as individuals with an unique force of will and an unique body. Under the weak and warm moonlight, it becomes impossible to recognize the boundaries that separate their minds from the minds of those around them, and so they become one with the world they live in; their needs become those of whoever’s around and vice-versa, until, through their relatives or guardians, they finally perceive their needs are different from anyone else’s, producing an internal Sun… Watery Moons mimic this primal mechanism through which we, as adults, may discover intuition: knowledge and information from unconscious sources hidden behind the hard structures of the material and tangible Capricorn world.

I’m hoping this helps in understanding where all those meanings come from~

Rising signs are limited to the physical part? they don't have anything to do with our emotions or so?

rising sign is not just the physical body - its the layer between us and the world, which includes the outwards appearance and the physical incarnation but its also our view of the world, our mentality and attitudes and how we are perceived upon first sight beyond the physical appearance. its not our emotions, thats true, but it shows how they are filtered to the world so to say

Jupiter and the Law of Attraction

Perhaps it’s not a coincidence that Jupiter being in someone’s 1st house or having Jupiter rule their rising is sometimes described to be a placement that can “bring luck wherever the individual goes”.

Let’s look at Sagittarius and Pisces (Jupiterian beings) separately to evaluate this.

Sagittarius is often pinpointed as an optimist. The Law of Attraction states that you attract what you think. Therefore, an optimistic Sagittarius will only attract good things to their life, appearing “lucky” to the outside world. In addition, many great philosophers (Philosophy is a Jupiterian subject) followed this law and believed in it.

Pisces, on the other hand, attracts fortune through fantasy. A Sagittarius will simply expect or hope for the best while a Pisces will fantasize about what they wish would happen/be happening. This channel of thought enforces the Law of Attraction and gives a Piscean what they desire. This ease of manifestation is also why Pisces may easily bring their own self-undoing. Pisceans are known to soak up emotions that are around them. Once this gets into their head and messes up their thoughts, then undesirable events happen; this chain of events falls within the Law of Attraction.

Of course, at the end of the day, Pisceans are still under the care of Neptune: a guide who will release Pisces to the clouds without a tie to bring them back to reality. This could be the difference in how Pisces and Sagittarius experience luck. Sagittarius is very grounded and eager to learn as well as initiate action while Pisces is busy dancing in the clouds.

The big difference between Aries’ egotism and Leo’s egotism is that Aries is full on confidence and Leo’s pride has insecurity behind it. Leos are usually looking for validation whereas Aries are quite literally full of themselves.
