The Moon
The Moon is the most visible symbol in the solar system, which reflects the light from the sun, it refresents the feminine side of us, the unconcious,
our dreams, memories, moods and mostly our emotions. It is ruled by the element of water (our emotions) which effects the tide of the sea.
For example when the moon is at is fullest, the tide is usually at its highest, which brings out our emotions more, and bringing things into fruition.
The Moon is the ruler of the sun sign Cancer, which again is a very sensitive sign, and has its nuturing qualities to it.
The Moon is the cloest planet to Earth, and manages to zip around all of the Zodiac signs within 28 days, it also spends
around 2-3 days in each sun sign, so depending on which sign the moon is currently in, explains alot about our current emotions.
There are four phases of the Moon:
New Moon: This is a very good time to start something new, meet someone new, and change things, its a great time to get things
moving, so that you will start seeing changes up to the full moon. he lighted side of the Moon faces away from the Earth. This means that the Sun, Earth, and Moon are almost in a straight line, with the Moon in between the Sun and the Earth, you cannot see this moon, it looks very dark.
Waxing Moon: This time symbolizes potency, growth, development. The left side of this moon is dark, and the right side is lighted,
from this point the half side of the moon will continue to grow until it reaches the full moon.
Full Moon: This is a great time for fulfillment, completion, potency, and self expression, it also sometimes makes us act a little odd,
as the old myth says people turn into 'lunatics' due to the lunar energy, the tide is at its highest, so everything is emphasized.
The Moon is now facing the Earth, the moon is very bright with the sun reflecting off it, this is a good time for dreams, meditation,
and spiritual growth.
Waning Moon: (Waning Gibbous) This is shown after the full Moon, The last quarter, the left side of the Moon is now lighted
and the other side is dark. During the time of the full Moon
and the third quarter, the moon gets smaller and smaller, decreasing in size. It will continue to shrink until the full Moon arrives, where
the cycle starts again.
