The Moon: ID

Astronomically speaking, the mysterious moon is second in the solar system.

She was the first object in space visited by human beings and is earth’s nearest neighbor, the brightest object in the sky, but does not change her shape (even though she appears to). She gives off no light of her own, and is merely reflective of the sun (which is what makes it appear as if her shape changes from New, to Full, to 1/2 and 3/4). Another reason for the moon’s mystery is that aside from having no life there, it has changed little if at all over billions of years. It has no elements on it and its sky is black: morning, noon, and night-so for that reason; the stars are always visible.

Moons can be found on all planets except for the first two planets closest to the sun (Mercury and Venus). All other planets (including us-earth) have one or more moons on them. She remains such a mystery because she has no life-yet she does. She travels around the earth faithfully every 27½ days, but does not orbit around the sun alone (as does the planets). Instead, the earth and the moon (together) travel around the sun. It is said that the moon is responsible for our ever-changing human moods, the mating and hatching in animals, as well as other emotional changes that have to do with all life form living and breathing on earth: plants, animals, you and me.

THE MOON’S ASTRONOMICAL FACT AS ITS CONNECTION TO ASTROLOGY:

With that being said, by now and as explained on page 17 in italics, you should be able to clearly see why in an effort to make logical sense of astrology’s connection to us earthlings, how keeping the focus on your Sun sign, Moon sign (and as you’ll read on page 78) your Rising/ascendant sign; the sun and moon have a type of relationship to planet earth (where we are) that the planets do not. Because of astronomy’s function of the sun, moon, earth and ascendant; it is my belief that our sun, moon and ascendant signs have meaning in our lives that we have never delved into-hence why I am writing this book…

Astrologically speaking, the moon sign is the domesticated you: your memory, your habits, your patterns and how you present yourself “secondly” (subconsciously). Unlike the sun (first-conscious=projection of ego); the moon is second-subconscious=id. It is the sign of your emotional processes that you do not bring into direct consciousness. It is “id” because it is your behavior, actions and reactions to the things around you-how you identify yourself.

“She” is emphasized when referring to the moon because the moon is “feminine” (insipid, withdrawn and passive).  It is said that your moon sign’s characteristics are what females see in you-an ambience that you give off to other females in your surroundings (regardless if you are male or female).

The moon sign is where the zodiac/constellation was positioned from the moon’s position on the month, date and approximate time of your birth.
