The moon in astrology
Three distinct goddesses symbolize the moon in Greek mythology. First there is Selene – the visible part of the Moon – which represents tenderness and motherhood. Then there is Hecate – the far side of the moon – which is both seductive and manipulative. Finally there is Lilith – the black moon – both rebellious and rebellious.
Symbol of femininity (and the part of femininity in men), the moon evokes motherhood, protectionthe kindness but also the heavy character of a mother who broods over her young for fear of seeing them leave the nest. Moreover, Cancer, the sign of the moon, generally has a panic fear of being abandoned.
The Moon exerts a positive influence by bringing the well-beingthe serenity and the candy. It intervenes in our relationships with others and acts on our inner worldespecially on our imagination and our unconscious.
The moon never retrogrades
When a planet changes the direction of its course in the sky, it is said to come into retrograde phase. First, it slows down, then stagnates in the same place and finally begins to move in reverse.
In fact, this phenomenon is an optical illusion due to the duration of revolution of the different planets around the Sun, which we observe from the Earth. Often retrograde phases bring out the negative aspects of the planets.
The Moon revolves around the Earth (and not the Sun) so she never downgrades. It may, however, have negative influences when it generates, in us, a form of idleness and capricious behavior.
