The Moon in the Complete Horoscope

The Force of the Soul's Longings in Classical Astrology

The moon in the horoscope.
The inner longing of the soul,
responsible for cravings hard to satisfy,
apart from aspirations of the conscious.


The MoonThe Moon is almost as important in the horoscope as the sun is. It governs your emotions and mood. They change a lot, of course. And the moon is the fastest of the heavenly bodies in the horoscope, moving around the whole Zodiac in about a month. So, it travels through a sign in two days and a few hours.

Planet age

Each of the heavenly bodies represents a period in your life of about seven years. In the case of the moon it is early infancy, from birth to about seven years of age.

       The position of the moon in your horoscope reveals what that period of your life is like, generally speaking. So, this period of your life is of vast importance in forming your emotional character, and the feelings that move inside of you.
