The moon in the world of astrology

Even in astrology the moon has a very prominent role and together with the sun and ascendant they are the holy three in the birth horoscope. The moon in our horoscope is the secret key to our inner life and its influence can downplay the effects of our sun sign's personality. The moon highlights not only our emotions but also our deepest needs and instincts. The moon is symbolic to the female part of our nature, whereas the sun sign often is linked to how we express our personality.

New moon

The new moon symbolizes a rebirth. Some magicians believe that you should not practice magic at the new moon, but wait until the moon is growing. Time at the new moon can be conveniently used to gather strength and inspiration for your continued magical work. This phase promotes new beginnings.

Increasing moon

The increasing moon is when it goes from new moon to full moon. During this time the forces are rising and the attraction of the moon affects everything exposed to its energy. This phase promotes creativity and development.

Full moon

The full moon is the perfection of all the moon phases. It attracts us with a restless energy, and some people can get pretty difficult at this time. The full moon can cause insomnia, intense dreams and irritation. This time is suitable for any kind of magic, because of the strong forces and it's a phase which promotes closures. 

Waning moon

Time at the waning moon, is also suitable for magic if you want to get rid of something. Removing warts, lose weight or quit a relationship is easiest at this time. Your energy turns inward, and you can more easily process the experiences. Together with the full moon it's a phase to release what no longer serves us.

Solar & Lunar eclipses
"The seed we sow during the solar eclipse will bear fruit at the lunar eclipse"

The new moon/solar eclipse tends to create new beginnings and bright new opportunities, whereas the full moon/lunar eclipse is more emotional and directs us to closure and endings. As the energies are building up to an eclipse, turbulent experiences tend to happen as fears are exposed and important matters hit breaking points. The reason for it all is that blindfolds need to be removed when major beginnings, as well as endings, are up. All eclipses bring news of the big events in life; monumental meetings, breakups or other significant changes tend to occur around these dates. Mark your calendars!
