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.

Depending on other aspects in your birth chart, you simply can't relax in dirty or untidy surroundings, and become quite agitated until something is done. Be wary of your need to be a perfectionist, and your criticism of both yourself and others for not measuring up to your own high standards. Another aspect of your life is that you also enjoy the adage a healthy mind equals a healthy body, and will go to some lengths to make sure that your mind and body are both healthy, often adhering to a strict schedule for your hygiene, diet and relaxation. In fact you've a good understanding of the power of the mind to affect the health of the body, and the discipline to keep fit and eat well. If other aspects in your birth chart are influential, then you may have the awareness of the importance of good health, but lack the discipline to adhere to a strict schedule. Nevertheless you'll develop this discipline over the course of your life. You may enjoy a job which gives you an outlet for these skills, or it may be enough for you to take care of family members and friends in your daily life.
