Last week we looked at how we vitalize or brings our Soul Purpose to life through our Sun sign. This week we're looking at the role of the Moon. The Sun and the Moon can be thought of as two halves of our personality. The Sun is masculine, active, outgoing, yang energy while the Moon is feminine, passive, receptive, yin energy.

The Moon indicates how we react and respond emotionally and instinctively. It is said to represent our inner child. Whereas the qualities of our Sun sign are conscious (in the light) often the qualities of our Moon sign are hidden from us (in our subconscious), yet they are revealed to us through our relationships. When other people 'push our buttons' we are most likely to react from our Moon sign!

The Moon is associated with our past and is thought to indicate our most immediate past life. There is often trauma held-over from that life which is ready to be healed in this lifetime. So as we explore the energy of our Moon sign it is important to proceed gently with much care, tenderness and compassion for ourselves, knowing that our Moon-sign reactions are the result of past-life conditioning. When we work with the energy of our Moon sign, we begin healing our wounded inner child.

Your Soul's Purpose is calling for emotional healing when the Moon is in:

Aries through recognizing that YOU exist, and because you exist, you matter. Start by listening to your intuition and trusting your own inner guidance.

Taurus through recognizing your inherent value, and trusting your own inner resources.

Gemini through letting go of mental 'stories' and connecting with the deeper wisdom of your heart.

Cancer through overcoming fear by compassionate nurturing of yourself and recognizing your innate emotional intelligence.

Leo through honoring your creativity, your individuality, and by having the courage to follow your unique heart's passion.

Virgo through cultivating somatic (body) awareness and then recognizing how you flow love tangibly into your world.

Libra through finely balancing your own needs and those of others in all your relationships. Each is as important as the other.

Scorpio through allowing yourself to feel your own feelings and express them in ways that feel safe for you. Only by allowing your emotional energy to move and flow, will your personal healing journey begin.

Sagittarius through quietening your mind and resting in inner silence where you will access your own higher truth, spiritual power and the deepest wisdom that is beyond words.

Capricorn through recognizing your inherent connection to the Divine, accessing your deepest inner resources and shining your light in the world.

Aquarius through releasing mental ideals and accepting this present reality just as it is. Then you will start recognizing a real, tangible, flow of Divine love through your own heart-center.

Pisces through recognizing and cultivating the power of your own heart's radiant energy to transform suffering in both yourself, and others.

If we ignore the call of the Moon we are ignoring our own inner child's cries for healing. By fully embracing and acknowledging the needs of our Moon sign, we set course on our own path to integration and healing.

See you next time, and in the meantime...
happy exploring!

Best Wishes,
