The Moon Sign and Emotions

Living in a mechanized, high-pressure world, we become divorced from our feelings, at the cost of much emotional pain and self-defeating behavior. Some of us spend a great deal of money on therapists, who guide us in exploring our buried emotions and the reasons we keep acting in predictable, self-destructive patterns. Not that therapy doesn’t help, or that this book will replace therapy for those who really need it, but your Moon sign can provide valuable insights into less conscious parts of yourself, serving as a guidebook to the dark side of your Moon. So, even though the book is about astrology, it’s really about you and how you deal with these mysterious and ever-changing emotional responses.

If you take a look at the biggest mistakes of your life, many of them happen when you’re not paying attention to your real feelings and needs—or worse, when you’re trying to override your gut responses and ignore your instincts. Since all these areas—feelings, needs, instincts, and responses—are connected with the Moon sign, you often make the biggest mistakes of your life when you’re ignoring the Moon.

Not only does the Moon sign describe your predominant emotional reactions and how you deal with them, it also shows your immediate, instinctive responses to crises, which are predominantly emotional and unconscious in nature. Thus, the Moon sign represents complex parts of the personality that are extremely important to understand, precisely because they are less conscious than the Sun. You learned the characteristics related to your Moon sign in your mother’s arms, so early you can’t remember or verbalize them, certainly before you left the family circle to start school. Thus, your Moon sign has much to do with the kind of mother you had and what parts of your own nature and reaction patterns you learned from her. Since we live what we learn, it also shows what kind of parent you would be.
