Preparing to birth - By the Moon
Whether you are a first-time mother or it’s not your first ride at the rodeo, it’s important to know your inner world filled with the items and memories that have shaped your inner world until today. Your Moon sign — a personal space that reveals how you give and take nurturing. No matter your Moon sign, getting to know it offers immeasurable benefits: it is like having a pulse on your inner, unseen self through the everyday trials that can be so hectic with raising a little one. Learn how to identify and nurture your own inner self.
What is the Moon?
The Moon is an ephemeral thing. It reflects, rather than shines. It waxes and wanes, providing a subtle backdrop of energetic changes as we go through every monthly cycle.
The Moon takes about 28 days to travel through the chart’s 12 houses, which means it stays in each house for 2¼ days. Thus, the Moon is said to represent fertility in women, and creativity and emotions in general. Observe your own monthly trends and you will notice that this is true.
While Sun signs take the popular spotlight, It is through both the Sun and the Moon that we learn who we are and discover our essential identity, a part of the world at large. The Lights — the Sun and the Moon — form a big picture to understand describes your essential self. The yin-yang of your Sun and Moon shows you your emotional and inner self that responds to habits, your instinctual feelings and your emotions.
Finding out your Moon sign in relation to your Sun sign can shed a lot of light on how you respond in life, what your strengths are, and what you need to work on. It will help you in relationships as you will be able to find out the issues that are triggered in yourself by people who share your personal space — and who else but your children share the most intimate spaces by inhabiting your womb for nine months, and then birthed to be by your side for at least a few years.
Transform your perspective
Astrologers tend to describe your Moon sign as how your mother was towards you in your childhood. The lens, however, is a little more clear if we describe the Moon sign as how you behaved towards your Mother.
The moon you are born with does not determine your mother's treatment of you and her behavior toward you. However, it does determine your reaction toward her and your treatment of her. Your reaction toward her is powerful and actually works to shape the person your mother is in your eyes and the person your mother is in the unique personal, relationship between you and her.
Every reaction you have toward her behavior colours her future behavior and treatment of you. If you react well to certain behaviors she exhibits, she is likely to continue those behaviors. If you react with frustration, anger or sadness, she is likely to modify the behavior she exhibited that drew your negative reaction. So that although she may believe she is molding your behavior as the mother in the relationship, you are actually molding each other's behavior, thus creating a tangled web.
Connect with your inner self
When time feels limited, consider what your Moon symbolises. Start a small section of a room as your own, ideally somewhere you already spend a lot of time. Have items that resonate with your needs - it could be pictures, a quote, or a favourite vase or cup that you drink from daily. You can also turn your desk into a power spot.
One of the goals of simply knowing your Moon sign is for your spaces at home to feel like it feeds you already – a relaxing environment filled with energy that resonates with you. You can have as many areas as you want, but you should have at least one.
