THE MOON IN ASTROLOGY - Part I

According to Astrology, Moon represents our unconsciousness, our intimate side; also it indicates how we feel and experience our mother, for a man especially, and for a woman, it shows in which way she lives this role. It also expresses the force of our roots.
Moon is an inner and outer force inside Man, the power ruling life rhythm, wake-sleep, day-night, it is connected to hypothalami and to the white glands of our body, which are directly fed by the Moon.

This archetypical being is linked to water, to your watery world inside, world of emotions.
The way you  experience and express your emotions depends on the position of the Moon in your natal chart.
If the Moon is in a high sector of your chart (10° house for ex.), you tend to assimilate emotions mentally. In a low sector (4° house), the assimilation arrives through your heart. Moon in 1° house is a personal and subjective way to live emotions. Moon in 7° house is an objective way to do it, because you tend to share somebody else's point of view.

Varying the element where the Moon is placed in your chart, your life philosophy changes:
Moon in Air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius), you tend to be idealistic, trying to make this world a better place. The risk is that the dream is too detached from your own power to realize it. The challenge to root yourself in the HERE and NOW.
Moon in Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces), you tend TO BE your emotions, your temper is passionate and you filter life through your heart, but here the risk is to be overwhelmed by your own feelings. The challenge is to build up a path for emotions, in order to let them nourish you and the others around you.
Moon in Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn), you tend to be rational, never overexposed, always coming to terms with what is right and what is wrong, trying to keep everything under control, for fear that the world order may tumble down if you do not keep an eye on it. The risk here is an overdose of stress, while the challenge is to learn to breath freely and to accompany others to understand the world order, because you have it so clear in your mind.
Moon in Fire signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) you tend to be an avenger, trying to rid the world from the wrong, to establish an order according to your own personal law, which is the only valuable. The risk is to became a tyrant, abandoned by your own siblings that cannot stand the way to impose your personality. The challenge is to indicate what is wrong in the world and to teach the others how to avoid it.

FIRE SIGNS IN ZODIAC (ARIES, LEO AND SAGITTARIUS)

This is an experiment: I am an Italian spiritual researcher, who are writing a blog about karmic astrology, Mayan astrology and Tarots. I noticed that many people from the States were reading my posts, so, as I can write in English, I decided I will devote part of time in writing specifically for the English-reading people. If the response is good, I will go on.
As a start, I will translate a short description of the Fire Signs that my Guide inspired me years ago, when I was teaching basic Astrology. My Guide's name is Ahyrnel and she is very loving. I decided to add a few sentences to explain concepts in a wider way. My sentences are in italics:

"I will shortly describe every sign of the Zodiac, because I, Ahyrnel, talking through my friend's heart and mind, I am interested in leaving a light print in your hearts, lingering like an engraving, and from that engraving a path should start, that could take you along during your days, while you meet every vital step in your existence, realizing how glad and proud you are to be there, in the right place at the right moment.
Every soul chooses a specific time to step into this world, the choice depending on the lesson is necessary to learn. Each Zodiac sign is a door, with a specific shape that will then support us in doing things and meeting commitments and challenges. Those who choose this matrix bear an indelible print into them, the print of action as self-assertiveness. They will not stop, so as you cannot stop fire, until it has completed its purifying duty. These souls purify themselves continously by taking an action outwards, and this is a heavy job for them, because they have to find a balance between inward and outward. This is why Fire signs are so out of balance most of the times. Their challenge is balancing inner world and outer world, their ego and human destiny as divine will. This means that their self-assertiveness sometimes takes them away from the determined path, from the path God chose for them, their stubbornness makes them blind.
So caution is their defence and advantage and once they learn how to use it, their reliability is strong. They need to be loved, they require a lot of love, and love is necessary because living beside them can be hard."
