The moon in astrology is of great importance. One of the first stages of the analysis of an individual horoscope of each person implies an interpretation of the phase in which it was at the time of its birth. It is this nuance that largely determines the psychotype and personal characteristics of the representative of a particular zodiac sign. The topic is interesting and important, and therefore it is worth paying a little more attention to its study.
Natal chart
Before telling in detail about what the Moon means in astrology, it is necessary to note with attention some nuances that are mandatory for acquaintance for each person who is interested in the topic for the first time.
Natal chart is the most accurate individual horoscope. When compiling it, the place, date of birth, and also time (up to minutes) are taken into account. You can compose it in a minute, nowadays there are services that automatically calculate all the information and give brief general information.
According to the natal chart, each person has several zodiac signs. The main one is sunny. If, for example, a person was born on November 15, he is Scorpio. This is his sunny sign. But the second most important is the moon. It is determined by the natal chart and depends on what position the satellite was in relation to the Sun at the time of the birth of a person.
Moon value
Emotions and feelings - this is what this heavenly patron is responsible for. In astrology, by the way, it is ranked among the planets for the convenience of notation.
The moon is responsible for how a person reacts to the world. It reflects the following needs:
- Security.
- Protection.
- Reliability.
- Sense of individuality.
- Love and sympathy.
- Satisfaction.
The positive influence of the moon in Vedic astrology is manifested in endowing a person with emotional attachment, a desire for closeness, and the ability to adapt to new conditions. Negativity, of course, can also be. Such influence of the patron can be traced in the absence of attachments, in difficulties with emotional development, in the inability to show feelings.
What is unique about this planet? The fact that she makes us all respond involuntarily. This reaction is difficult to correct, because it is at the level of instincts, the emotional sphere.
Water, being the element of the moon, symbolizes feelings. And this celestial body, as you know, affects the ebbs and flows. Therefore, it is natural to associate it with the variability of emotions.
By the way, the personal development of a person depends on how the lunar and solar energy interact.
New moon
A little more detail needs to be told about the phases of the moon in astrology and their significance. The new moon is the first of them. This is the period in which the Sun and the Earth’s satellite are on the same straight line. So, astrologically they are connected.
Symbolically, a new moon is a time when something new is emerging. The best period for making plans, making wishes and projecting your thoughts. Also, time is considered good for all kinds of rituals and practices. Yes, the satellite’s energy is rather weak, but the potential is great.
People often feel hurt during the new moon. The body becomes less active, its defenses are weakening. Many feel depressed, weaker ones fall into depressive states. But this is the peculiarity of the phase: the body is freed from the burden of experiences and problems that have been experienced over the past month, and is preparing to meet a new life.
Waxing Crescent
This period lasts 14 days. It is associated with the ability to create and overcome, with development and improvement. The intensity of moonlight increases - the energy of the satellite also becomes stronger.
People, feeling the influence, notice confidence in their abilities. They become more persistent, the desire to act and achieve their goals is only growing. This phase is the best time for various undertakings and updates.
Full moon
At this time, the sun and moon are opposed to each other. Visually, the luminaries are located opposite. At the time of this phase, the energy of the Earth’s satellite is in full swing - it has a tangible effect on all living things, literally filling with itself the surrounding space. Interestingly, it was at this time that marine inhabitants lay eggs and fertilize it.
At the time of the full moon, in especially sensual and receptive people, emotions also beat over the edge. Creative natures notice a surge of inspiration, and in a relationship of lovers it seems as if a new stage is beginning, filled with passion and romance.
But also this phase is transitional. The moon begins to descend, and therefore the period is also critical. This causes instability of the emotional background, people's exposure to noticeable changes in mood. In this period, even diseases are exacerbating and crime is increasing - the moon has such a strong energy.
Initiating beginnings at this time is not recommended, because they are prone to a temporary crisis. Also, no responsible and important decisions need to be made.
Waning moon
It also lasts 14 days, as well as growing. At this time, people are aware of the events that happened in the previous weeks, revising their views. The emotional background is stabilized, anxiety is replaced by tranquility and realism.
This phase is a good time to make sense, as well as to summarize. It is recommended that you continue to work on your work and develop projects.
The energy level decreases by the time the narrow "sickle" of the moon slowly disappears. Enthusiasm leaves a person, just like a craving for vigorous activity. This, of course, does not apply to everyone - but only to the most receptive people. It is also possible a loss of strength, a deterioration in mental and physical well-being.
It's time to take stock of the past month, to devote time to meditation and rest. But with new projects you need to wait. It is very likely that they will turn out to be lifeless and will not bring the expected result, which will even more upset a person.
Black Moon
Continuing to consider interesting aspects of the topic under discussion, it is necessary to touch upon this point. The moon in Vedic astrology can be black and white. These are its two sides.
Black (she is also called Lilith) is responsible for ethical and moral qualities. It demonstrates the potential of a person’s negative qualities and actions that he can do in the future.
Lilith shows how strongly a person is associated with dark forces, their influence on him is somewhat significant. The Black Moon is also responsible for the temptations, weaknesses of the person, his dependence.
They say that a person who has chosen the bright path ignores Lilith and her influence, deliberately avoiding negativity. If it so happened that in his horoscope the energy of the Black Moon is manifested strongly, then in life there may be periods when all the doors literally close in front of him. But later, for his inaccessibility to the negative, he receives a spiritual reward.
White moon
In astrology, she is the antipode of Lilith. Her middle name is Selena. Embodies the protection of light forces and help. It is considered a fictitious planet, and therefore astrologers do not always take into account its influence when compiling a horoscope.
Selena is responsible for the development of the best moral and ethical qualities. Depending on the horoscope and the zodiac sign, it shows where the light power came to from, and what it is worth developing in order to follow the bright path.
They also say that Selena accompanies success in business, helps to develop, suggests the right decisions. And to someone who has conceived a bad deed, it does not allow him to arrange his plan.
Levels of egocentrism
There are four of them, and this is a concept from Vedic astrology. The energy levels of the moon are determined. They can be briefly described as follows:
- Lower. Demonstrates pure selfishness. People in life are only interested in achieving personal goals. Others are most often used for their own good.
- Second. Selfishness is not pronounced, as a person thinks about family and friends. But everything else does not bother him. He considers his well-being, as well as the happiness of dear people, for whom he is ready to sacrifice a lot, to be a value.
- Third. A person also shows interests in the people around him - not only those who belong to him. Unfortunately, his kindness and selflessness is often used.
- Fourth. A person thinks on a large scale - he seeks to provide with the good not only himself, relatives and those around him, but also the whole city, regions, country, even the world. Such people live in accordance with the karmic program.
Houses
Much has been said above about the phases, about the black and white moon in astrology, as well as other interesting features of this topic. Now we need to talk about how it manifests itself in each of the 12 houses (ecliptic sectors).
In short, it looks like this:

- 6 house. When discussing what the moon means in astrology, it was already noted that the ebbs and flows of the ebb can be reflected in the nature of some people by inconstancy. When the planet is in the 6th house - this is the same case. People often change jobs, place of residence, often break down, constantly adjust their way of thinking. Even their health is unstable.
