he
Moon rules your emotions and when it hits you, you could be moody.
On the other hand this planet increases intuition and your desire
to connect with others on a feeling level.
The
Moon Aspecting the Sun:
Can increase moodiness. If you have the conjunction, you have all
your eggs in one basket. What you are on the outside and what you
feel inside is the same. This increases your consistency but can
diminish the breath of your viewpoint. The sextile and trine tend
to be easygoing. Energizing influences have to be provided by
other things in the chart. These harmonious aspects, however, are
supposed to strengthen the body and thereby lengthen the life. The
stress aspects mean the inner and outer parts of your nature are
inclined to work at cross purposes. The Sun shows what your ego
needs in order to be satisfied. The Moon shows your
"unconscious" needs, your feelings. The stress aspects
mean that each of these needs must come from conflicting sources.
For instance, if your Sun is in Aries, you need to take direct
action. If your Moon is in the sign of Cancer, then your inner
self is sensitive, moody, and not likely to make a move unless
things "feel good". At least this keeps life from
getting dull.
The
Moon Aspecting the Ascendant:
Also makes you moody, especially the stressful aspects. If you
have the Moon in conjunction with the Ascendant, you will take on
outward traits of the sign of Cancer, which is ruled by the Moon.
This can make you extra cautious and sensitive. As with Cancer
Sun-Sign people, just keep moving when you get depressed. Better
yet, get concerned with other people's problems. This will help
you forget your own (which are largely overblown and only in your
head anyway). The opposition can also give a moody, sensitive
partner. The harmonious aspects sharpen your instincts, especially
when it comes to dealing with other people. This is a good
placement for a therapist. All Moon-Ascendant aspects increase the
nurturing ability. The stressful aspects, however, are also likely
to demand more nurturing from just about everyone.
The
Moon Aspecting the Mid-Heaven: Increases
the chance that either you or what you do will come before the
public. Specifically Moon-ruled careers include everything from
hotel, motel, and restaurant management, to the dairy industry and
domestic real estate. But it is good for any career that requires
a response from the public. Jane
Fonda has the Moon
square the Mid-Heaven. These squares can make the career go up and
down and up again. Her career certainly did that before, during,
and after the Vietnam war. Salvador
Dali has
the conjunction. The harmonious aspects work out in a smoother
fashion and can make you beloved by the public. Bill
Cosby has a Virgo Moon
almost exactly trine his Capricorn Mid-Heaven.
