Chapter 3. Moon in Your Chart

Astrologically speaking, the Moon is an instinctual force. It is an ever-changing symbol of your emotional life including such things as home, family, mother, dreams, feelings, the public, women and your early childhood. The Moon represents your environment, the one you were born into and the one you create for yourself. It also talks about your support system, and your "involuntary nervous system."

More than that, the Moon symbolizes your unconscious life. The Moon represents what happens while you're sleeping. The Moon is the intermediary between the Earth and the universe, and you're somewhere in the middle. Because of this positioning, understanding how the Moon figures in your life is essential for happiness and personal growth.

Historically, some of her names are Isis, Diana, Artemis, Selene, Hecate, Sin, Nanna, Mona, Heng O and the Moon goddess. Below is described some of your personal lunar landscape Oscar Delahoya.

Moon in Pisces

COMPASSIONATE INSTINCTS

You're sensitive and psychically receptive to other people's feelings. You soak up people's thoughts the way paper towels soak up messes. Consequently, your own emotional life may be confused, adrift, and vacillating between optimism and melancholy. The conflict is not necessarily within you. It is within the feelings you experience from others.

Once you learn to meditate and apply the scientific method, all will be well in your world. You need to develop a positive sense of sanctuary. Treat yourself to long luxurious baths. You need periodic retreat from the world. Pursue a worthy ideal.

TIP: Read The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley.

You've gone out of your way to please others. Do you remember your own way? You can squint your eyes and over look the most glaring shortcomings in others. When you're stressed out you can and often do sacrifice too much. There is no need to be a martyr or a victim or a masochist. Transcend this dilemma through the creative process.

Your imagination is fertile and active. Your work makes a strong and lasting impression on others. If you stuck to it, you could make it in any of the arts. Yes, you could merge with Art. Why not leave behind a great contribution? You are much happier when you pursue a spiritual, creative and uplifting vision. Work with the power of dreams.

As you mature and learn life's lessons, your relationships improve. Specifically, you need to integrate your erotic and your spiritual nature. That's good because an important side of you is nourished through sweet dreams, romantic love, and poetic dishes.
