✦ The essence of the Moon ✦
The Moon is the other half of the sky. Where the Sun says who you are, she says what you feel. She governs the emotions, the need for safety, memory, childhood, intimacy. She changes sign every two and a half days: she is the reason for your moods, your inner tides, what consoles you. Reading about your Moon sign often feels more like recognition than reading about your Sun sign ever did.
In your chart
Your Moon reveals your inner world: how you welcome your emotions, what you need to feel safe, the way you love in intimacy. She is the part of you that only the close ones ever meet.
Does the Moon retrograde?
Never either. The Moon orbits the Earth and does not retrograde. She keeps her own appointments instead: new moons for sowing, full moons for harvesting. That is already a whole calendar.

The High Priestess
In the tradition, the Moon answers to The High Priestess, the quiet card of intuition, inner knowing and what is felt long before it is said. This card colours the way the planet acts in your sky.
The planets are one half of the language of the sky. Keep exploring with the ten planets, or discover the other way the invisible catches your attention, the angel numbers.
