The Moon represents our emotional nature and style, how we feel things
instinctively and subjectively, and how we tend to express, process,
and interpret feelings. It suggests our sense of home and belonging,
what makes us feel nurtured and comforted, and how we tend to nurture
others. It may represent our early childhood and how we experienced
Mom, and therefore, our impressions about femininity, nurturing, and
motherhood. Because the Moon experience is a familiar one, we may
retreat to the Moon when the going gets tough. Because the Moon reflects
our instinctive patterns of hunger and our need for safety and dependency,
we must feed the lunar expression through the style and activities
of its sign and house in order to attain a sense of happiness, to
give ourselves a sense of security and emotional well-being. Or, the
Moon's placement might tell us something about what we have come to
get comfortable with on an emotional level.
A weak response to the Moon's expression engenders a sense of unhappiness,
moodiness, boredom, or emotional dysfunction that allows unconscious
irrational responses to dictate unhealthy behavior. A well-functioning
Moon results in a sense of emotional well-being and happiness that
comes through experiences suggested by the Moon's sign and house
placement. We might then feel as though we are in touch with our
soul.
