The Moon in Astrology represents your emotions, intuition, soul, subconscious and instincts. In the birth chart this planet represents the emotional self, your inner world and your emotional response to the world. The Moon will show what you need in order to feel safe, secure and protected as the Moon is connected to the archetype of the mother.
This planet represents feminine energy as well as the feminine figures in your life such as your mother or parent. It can also be connected to your natural instincts and intuitive abilities and how this manifests within you. The Moon is your heart and soul and how you express this part of yourself.
Challenging aspects made to your Moon, such as a square, can show challenging and tumultuous emotions or emotional triggers. Positive aspects made to the Moon, such as a trine, can indicate a flow of energy which is helpful, supportive and harmonious.
When interpreting the Moon in your own chart it’ll be important to include the aspects made to the Moon because these will greatly influence how your Moon is expressed. It will also show the unique challenges, opportunities and experiences connected to your path towards emotional understanding and well-being in this life.
