The Moon
Astrologers from different schools of thought allocate varying meanings to the Moon in a birth chart. Ancient astrologers say that the Moon changes its nature according to its phases, and merely passes on impressions from other planets rather than directly influencing a person's life. However, modern astrologers tell us that the Moon depicts a person's roots, our home and family. They say the Moon also shows our habitual nature or subconscious patterns of behaviour which stand in the way of achieving our life goals. While the Moon can show us our strengths, it can also depict our weaknesses which need to be overcome in order to be successful in life. The Moon is a fast moving point in a birth chart which changes sign about every two days.

This can make you delightful company, as long as you don't go too far in ignoring the needs of others in order to get the attention focussed on yourself. When life gets tough you like to play in order to lighten up the situation. Parties, festivals, picnics and other fun events are the food of life, as far as you're concerned. Mostly you're a happy-go-lucky soul; however, when upset you can roar like a lion. In most cases if anyone stands their ground amidst the roaring they soon see that you're really a pussy cat. You've a big heart and are also such a generous soul that most of your loved ones will forgive a little arrogance now and then. You respond well to praise, and are often prompt to praise others. In fact you're proud of your friends and family members, and often like to show them off to each other.
