New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
Want to feel nourished, safe, and secure in the midst of these changing times? Your astrological moon sign can help you better understand what "feeds" you at a deep level, helping you to stay grounded and supported even in the midst of chaos and transitions. The moon sign gives us inside information on what keeps us feeling nurtured and at home in the world. From the food we eat for sustenance to the home environment in which we live, the moon rules over our basic needs in life. When we are able to meet these needs, we usually feel a greater sense of security and stability, regardless of what the external circumstances of our life may be. Read on to find out how to feed and care for your ...
Every twenty-eight days the Moon goes through an entire cycle, from New Moon to Full Moon and then back to New Moon to begin again. As she circles the Earth, the Moon has an effect on every single molecule and every living thing on our planet, including our body and our mood! The Moon goes through her regular rhythmic cycles constantly over the course of our entire lives, even though we are mostly so caught up in what is going on in our modern world to take much notice, let alone take advantage of her cycles to improve our lives or some particular situation. If only we were more familiar with the natural impulses of the Moon, as people were in earlier times, and how to work in harmony ...
The Moon makes a loop around the Earth in about twenty-eight days, moving through each of the signs in two-and-a-half days (or so). As she passes through the thirty degrees of each sign, she "visits" with the planets in numerical order by forming angles, or aspects, with them. Because she moves one degree in just two to two-and-a-half hours, her influence on each planet lasts only a few hours, then she moves along. As she approaches the late degrees of the sign she's passing through, she eventually reaches the planet that's in the highest degree of any sign, and forms what will be her final aspect before leaving the sign. From this point until she actually enters the new sign, she is ...
Some sign combinations that have traditionally been considered to be stress-producing: signs that square. These are the pairs that often rub each other the wrong way,until they realize that they can also produce energy-releasing sparks. Any two signs that square each other are actually dynamic duos that help us powerfully grow,once we learn how to consolidate their energies better in a self-directed manner. After all, they represent two essential parts of our developmental process,and thus they each need to be validated and supported. We shouldn't let them pull us apart or make us feel split from within. Squaring signs must find smart ways to get along. They need to help—not ...
