how to work with the moon

In the time frame of one month the moon goes through all the twelve signs of the zodiac. This means that around every 2.5 days the sign of the moon changes.

In astrology we have our natal birth chart, this chart is divided in 12 different houses. each house represents different topics and areas of our life. For instance the 7th house rules over our one-one partnerships and the 10th house over our public image and career.

The moon transits, or passes by all the twelve houses in one month, in one cycle. therefore the moon has a different influence on all of us depending on the sign and house it transits on your personal birth chart.

To start being aware if the cycles of the moon, is to find your birth chart, You can use astro.com or any other website.

There is an application for the phone that is called “the moon” which allows you to follow the signs of the moon. or you can use the internet to find out in what sign the moon is today.

Then either you look at your chart or if you know by heart which sign rules over which house in your chart. You can start following the influence of the moon in specific areas of your life.

For example when the moon is in Leo, this is usually a time to be self expressive, to go out and enjoy, to have fun. but for me Leo rules over my 12th house of solitude and introspection. So the Leo energy of the moon manifests differently for me.

To work with the moon can offer you understanding why some days feel different then others. you can plan your weeks by looking at the signs of the moon with your birth chart and knowing if you will be in the mood for certain plans.

Especially Cancer risings and people with Cancer placements will find the energies of the moon inspiring and sometimes intense.
