The moon represents our emotions, subconscious, moods and feelings, and even ties into subconscious fears. Unbeknownst to many it is one of the 3 planets, along with Saturn and Neptune that can factor into experiencing paranoia, phobias and irrational fears, especially when placed in the 12th house.
The moon is our mother, representing her characteristics, and our relationship to her, as well as the home environment especially the childhood one, as the moon also relates to ones childhood as well as to memories. It rules hospitality, food and drink, hotels and childbearing, as well as the female menstrual cycle.
The waxing moon symbolizes the release of the egg cell from the ovaries during the ovulation process as the egg is being put into place with the full moon symbolizing the egg, whereas the waning moon symbolizes the cleansing and release as the egg leaves, when a woman's life force is the strongest.
The moon is the ruler of the 6th chakra and the 3rd eye.
If the moon is your chart ruler and is being aspected by someone's Saturn, this person could turn out to significantly wound you emotionally in someway, as well as be a hindrance or even a danger to your mother. They maybe someone who has had a very negative impact on your childhood, perhaps by bullying or other forms of abuse, leaving you scarred with very bad memories and hangups. They could also be someone who works in hospitality that causes a lot of issues for you in a hotel or other place in a home. This person can bring serious troubles to the affairs of the house your moon is in
Aspects from mars can cause domestic violence, either against the self or witnessing of such against the mother, or both, and can also cause a general impatience and dislike of routine. Mars can give ones emotions general irritability when aspecting the moon also. Harsh aspects from the sun to the moon indicate problems between the mother and father that can have lasting scars, where as Pluto can cause disdain or even estrangement from the mother at an early age, physically or emotionally or both. The mother may die early. In other extreme cases you will have the “mommas boy” issue that can crop up in relationships, where (male or female for that matter) the mother influences all of the child's life until well past adulthood to a pathological degree, weather the child likes it or not. The mother can be very dominating and controlling.
Being placed in Capricorn or Scorpio gives serious emotional inhibition, capricorn even more so, especially if the moon is the chart ruler. There can even be a streak of cruelty, or tendencies toward intense anger that is often inward, unless there are Aries placements or other fire planets in the chart. Being in the aforementioned signs, in Pisces or the 12th house or in combination with the 4th house can bring major problems in childhood, a weak emotional nature, or any sort of general emotional hang ups in regards to others. The emotional scarring one may endure can last a lifetime. Uranus aspects to the moon may contribute to emotional inconsistency or instability.
Another thing to note about a moon/mars aspect or Saturn, is that this can cause accidents or troubles in a hotel or at home. Things like bedbugs and other pests, anything having to do with inflammation or domestic troubles or accidents with dishes, food or other can be recurring annoyances if one is often in this setting, trouble with hospitality personnel or guests, causing distress and anxiety, especially if there is a cancer or 4th house emphasis, or if the moon is the chart ruler. This can count for hotels and places of travel, especially with the moon in Sagittarius or with the moon in aspect to Jupiter.
Mars, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune in the 4th house can have malefic influence as far as domestic security, stability, and the home environment, especially the childhood one, which also affects the moons natural affairs, as the moon rules the 4th house and the mother.
The Nature of ones moon is also affected by whatever fixed star it may conjunct. Malefic ones such as Algol can bring extreme intensity of emotion, violent outbursts, or misfortunes for the general affairs for the moon,while benefic stars will amplify and and benefit the moons affairs, and the house it is in.
If your chart ruler is the moon, take care to when it transits Algol (or any other chart ruler for that matter, but the moon transits the most often). Confrontation can be common or more likely around this time in or around ones home that cause extreme emotional or otherwise aggressive reactions, or in the work atmosphere, or other that can even lead to serious altercations, especially if other transits at the given time, especially aspects with your chart ruler and Mars or Saturn, or factors in your chart support this. AOP is a given. The same for the aforementioned applies for significant degrees for better or worse, in transits and in the chart.
Physical problems from debilitation or affliction can manifest as: misaligned or deformed rib cage, even a broken rib cage from blunt force trauma, especially with mars involved or Uranus, causing accidents, colitis, any sorts of stomach problems including ulcers, diabetes or any problems with the pancreas, deformities and any diseases of the breasts or womb, endometriosis, severe dysmenorrhea or bad manifestations physically and psychologically from the menstrual cycle called premenstrual syndrome or PMS for short, also another manifestation of moon aspecting mars. Dehydration or overproduction of mucus and other fluids such as sweat ect are common. The excess mucus can cause sinus issues, infections, and post nasal drip, which all have to do with areas close to the 6th chakra. Lung problems can manifest, such as asthma, cancer, cysts, or other diseases of the lungs.
Psychologically this can manifest also with debilitation, but even if the moon is prominent but afflicted: depression, anxiety, phobias and over emotionalism or paranoia, especially if the moon is the chart ruler and or if the person is water dominant, or with the moon in the 12th house. There may be a complete emotional coldness, nurturing aspect, or lack of empathy if ill placed, especially if there is emphasis on fire or air in the chart. Having an air sign moon can make one intellectualize their feelings rather than feel them, which if any of the aforementioned apply also, can hamper making connections with friends and family.
Things such as mood swings can be common, especially with cancer emphasis, as well as a flare for the dramatic, and not in the good way. Over sensitivity is common. There may be problems with intuition, and not seeing things clearly on the astral as well due to emotional bias. If mercury is in cancer, this can be amplified as all that differ from ones opinions can be seen as a threat or as some form of “evil” essentially. Bad manifestations of the moon make it hard to be objective. Even if a moon is prominent but afflicted by being in the 12th house or aspected by Saturn or Mars, its dominance will show but not for the better, unless these aspects are sublimated. A moon can be exalted also for example in the sign of taurus, but if it is on a violent degree, or on Algol, this will most often not help its manifestation for the better.
A debilitated moon or one that is afflicted will also show to the affairs of the house it is in where this brings most of the problems.
A moon square can help one get in touch with their emotions and intuition and to strengthen a debilitated third eye and 6th chakra, and help with the affairs of the houses that have Taurus or cancer on the cusp. Regular cleaning and removing emotional hangups with either munka or ansuz are a great help, as well as void meditation to get over emotionalism under control. Invoking air also helps one detach and become more objective, especially if their chart lacks air. Invoking water on the other hand, will also help with inhibited emotion, if water is lacking and if the moon is debilitated, especially if it is in Scorpio or Capricorn, or even an Aquarius moon. Aquarius debilitates the moons maternal instincts specifically as well as Sagittarius, especially if placed in the 5th house, causing either a fear of commitment in this area of life, for fear of a variety of different troubles, or even being afraid to make the parents mistakes. This can be amplified if Saturn or Pluto are also placed here.
If other factors in the chart influence one to want children despite experiencing this, and are conflicted, becoming in touch with the maternal and nurturing energies of the moon can help one amplify their confidence and ability as a potential parent. Freeing the soul workings or munka can help with hangups in this department as well before attempting any planetary squares or runic workings. Ansuz can also be used. Having no 5th house placements can also leave one without a desire for children altogether.
Working with the wunjo rune, green energy or the energy of Venus is also great for relations with family and the mother especially with moon to Saturn aspects or to Pluto. The moon mantra is great for domestic affairs.
The moon rules silver, pearl, moonstone and labradorite, of which moonstone corresponds to the light side of the moon, all white magick having to do with the moon, the conscious emotions and feelings and intuition, and the waxing moon, whereas labradorite corresponds to the dark side of the moon, and the waning moon, black magick related to the moon, as well as the subconscious, as far as emotions, fears and dreams. Both labradorite and moonstone are feldspar stones. These and the others mentioned are connected to the third eye. Labradorite represents the divining of the concealed and hidden on the astral through the third eye, while moonstone represents what the third eye can already see.
Labradorite is also protective, and also can be used for removal and detachment, such as emotional hang ups, and reprogramming the subconscious as far as suppressed or repressed fear or anger. Moonstone is great for workings involving a moon square or a working to regulate the menstrual cycle and conscious mood swings. Both are good for workings with the third eye and 6th chakras.
Labradorite and black tourmaline may also be used to work with the laguz and berkanao runes, for concealment and protection, as well as laguz specifically for workings having to do also with the unconscious memories thoughts and feelings.
Berkanao according to our elder furthark page, is also customary in pagan culture to be used in the concealment and protection of a newborn child. This is especially desirable if you have a child, and read their chart, and are able to see if their natal moon is afflicted or debilitated. Regardless of even this specifically, this will give your newborn child a head start on a good aura of protection in general in relation to everything at all, and nurturing energies of the moon.
