This is a sample of an excerpt from a full report; a full report includes both the Sign and House of your Natal Moon, insight into your patterns and where you tend to become stuck, as well as practices and strategies for releasing attachments (stemming from fear and unresolved emotions) that hold you back and keep you from fulfilling your potential.
When I was a little girl, I was in awe of the moon. I was also frightened of it. I gazed at the bright globe in the sky and spotted the outline of a figure inside it, confirming my suspicions. “The man in the moon? Who told you that?” my mother laughed. I remember feeling that she didn’t understand the weight of the subject. There was someone living inside the moon and I needed to get to the bottom of it. Was he friend or foe? Was he watching us? What were his intentions? But I couldn’t find the words to express all that was on my mind so I simply asked: “Will he hurt us?”
When we have unintegrated emotions and experiences they show up in our life story, reflected back to us in what we see. My childhood concern about the moon was an early indication that I would need to integrate and face fear of “darkness” in my adult life, in order to receive and appreciate the magic and mystical qualities of life.
My moon placement is like a laser beam scanning for what is wrong.
The Serenity Prayer, an invocation to practice acceptance and discern the difference between what we can and cannot change has been a helpful tool for my 6th House Moon.
“God (or universe), give us the serenity to accept what we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
My childhood fear is reflected in my natal moon’s placement in the 6th House (Virgo’s House) of the astrology chart wheel. I was focused, and for good reason, on the small, dark spots I could see in the moon and was losing the bigger picture of a luminous globe in a starry night sky. I couldn’t take in the bigger picture because I didn’t feel safe. As children we pick up on everything in our environment, as a defense mechanism, and I sensed that something was wrong. As an adult, my mission is to gain back my expansive vision.
