The Moon in General * Your Inner Self of Feelings, Emotions and Intuition

by Serenity Chappell

Welcome to your inner world

In Astrology, The Moon represents our inner feelings, our emotions ... and our deep security needs. It reflects our basic habits, instincts and automatic reactions. It speaks to some elements of our Karma and childhood home, our upbringing, family background and specifically our relationship with our mother (or major mother figure from the past.) The Inner Self fueled by your Moon energy wants you to feel safe, protected, emotionally supported and "at home."

It is associated with female energy in general ... and how we express the feminine side of our nature. (The Moon is very influential in this, but Venus has a hand in it, too.) Positively, our Moon energy is responsive and reflective, tender and protective. Negatively, it is complaining, self-pitying, fretful and moody. All these are virtues and character problems conventionally associated with women.
