Moon Beams

The Moon travels through all 12 zodiac signs each Lunar month, spending about two and a half days in each astrological sign--that’s at least 12 mood swings per month! The Moon in your birth chart carries the resonance of your intuition, emotions, empathy, and nurturance. The Moon is also the domain of the archetypal mother, the receptive yin energy of the divine feminine. 

Moon in ARIES: FIRE

Keywords: Lively, Passionate, Buoyant

“If you love me, you’ll fight with me!” Your feelings are easily inflamed–flaring-up like a sudden thunderstorm, then moving on to greener pastures. When a fiery Aries Moon is ruling your emotions, you are capricious, enthusiastic and effervescent. Lively and playful, you have the spirited exploratory nature of a teenager. Your emotional muse is Mars, the mythological god of war.  You love to win, and usually do. Hence the goddess of victory,  Nike, cheers you on your way. Arguments are soon forgotten by you–but those you’ve scorched with your temper are still scratching their heads, wondering what happened as they watch you lightly walk  away–never carrying a grudge. You won’t take kindly to interference from others–parents, teachers, lovers and even your boss. You simply don’t want to  be told what to do. You’re very independent and ready at a moment’s notice to adopt a new direction– to turn on a dime. Your motto under an Aries Moonbeam is: “Never look back.”

Moon in TAURUS: EARTH

Keywords: Steady, Sensuous, Secure

Of all the zodiac signs, you have the Midas touch. You have a very strong emotional need to feel financially secure so that you can know that you’re safe in this world. You have money-wise common sense and an eye for beautiful things. You enjoy, and you need, to surround yourself with aesthetically pleasing art or decor.  You’re a natural curator and collector–anything from coins, stamps, photos, gold or silver!  You don’t mind working on the budget, especially if you can find the “extra” money for a spa day. You insist on having your favorite comforts around, and some self-indulgence feels just right to you (It’s a necessity!). With the Moon in Taurus, which is ruled by Venus the goddess of love, relationships and having a sense of belonging is very important to you. The Moon loves being in Taurus, the sign of the “green thumb.” This is the Moon’s best position for attracting wealth and the good things of life.

Keywords: Expressive, Curious, Mercurial

Gemini Moonbeams bestow an emotional nature that is resourceful, quick-witted, and can turn on a dime. But, you may not slow down long enough to check in with how you really feel about something. You want to be on the move, happy to be a rolling stone. It’s a great time to enjoy travel, but you’re not too keen on waiting in line in airports or anywhere else.

You need to feel secure and you’ll seek reassurances that this is so. Your sensitivity to the moods of others is heightened—-you’re so “tuned-in” to their reactions and opinions that they become magnified in your own mind. Therefore, it is important for you to pull in, retreat to the comforts of home, and step away from the needs of others long enough to meet your own. Quiet time is a necessity, as well as surrounding yourself with loving friends and  family.
