Meaning of the Moon in Astrology

The Moon in astrology represents our relationship with our mother, the state of our physical/emotional body, and what we need to feel satisfied. 

In esoteric astrology, it is said that the soul is trapped in the sign the moon is in. Meaning, the placement of the moon in the natal chart indicates how we express ourselves when feeling insecure. There’s a tendency to manipulate to reap emotional satisfaction instead of confessing emotional needs. There are sensitivities about certain aspects of life and can lead to abuse in vices such as food, people, status, or things when triggered. 

Despite the fact that it is where the soul hides, it is also where we can find our greatest strength. Through understanding our natal Moon, we can address internal needs and integrate with the unseen parts of ourselves. 

By nourishing our emotional needs daily, we are free to connect with others and provide intimacy, acceptance, and nonverbal care. 

Daily Struggle

If you have Virgo Moon in the eighth house, you struggle with perfectionism to appear worthy of intimacy and partnership. You love to be in service to those in need especially those who are close to you sexually or financially. But it often goes one-sided and leaves you feeling if you give to the other what they need, you’ll eventually get what you deserve. It’s hard for you to speak up about your needs due to fear of appearing imperfect, needy, or wanting to be seen as humble. 

Your critical mind challenges you to act and keep everything in order because you notice hidden motives or emotions and can not help but solve perceived issues before they are mentioned. Topics that keep your attention are the occult, energy transformation, death and rebirth, other people’s resources and money, and psychology. 

You often find yourself in partnership with those that you can care for and “fix”, financially, sexually, and/or mentally. The partner becomes a project that is worth your energy and simultaneously it helps you feel better about yourself. However, if this is not the appropriate relationship to do such things, you’d find yourself drained, resentful, and cold to the other. Your ability to work on relationships and make sure the details are cared for is similar to how your mother cared for you or how you perceived her relationship with others. 

Connection to Mother

Your mother cared for you deeply and expressed it by making sure you know how to care for your mental, emotional, and physical hygiene. It is likely that she was obsessed with your cleanliness and expected you to keep up with her demands. She worried for you and was very critical of the way you expressed your raw, intense emotions. She expected you to express your emotions in a polished manner like she, but unknowingly, she kept her worries and fears tucked away until they unexpectedly come spilling out. She felt everything had to be in order and done efficiently or else chaos will imbue and more work will have to be done. This mentality has imprinted on to you and caused you to be on the lookout for chaos. This mentality can cause issues with anxiety and attract chaotic relationships. 

This may cause you to spiral out to look for ways to improve your mental and physical health, so you look to psychology and/or mystical/occult arts to understand your mind and improve your state of being.

Emotional Needs 

For you to feel emotionally secure, you need to feel useful in intimate relationships. You have an eye for detail and notice deep psychological struggles your partner or others deal with. You are a healer of some sort and must put to use your healing abilities. Although your relationship with your mother was overpowering at times, it secretly gave you a gift that you can offer others. You can bring order and improve the conditions of the mind so that the environment can improve and evolve for the betterment of the relationship. But this starts by focusing on your psychological hang-ups. 

From there you can show others the way and help them improve by being an example. Once you create space for you to be honest with yourself with no shame of being “imperfect”, you then are able to show compassion to others who struggle and do not know better. 

Your ability to organize and correct a situation is what draws people to you. 

If you release expectations of who you are and what others should be, you’ll be able to relax and embrace the other where they are. From there you are able to facilitate healing with their cooperation. 

How to Integrate 

How you can integrate with the dark parts of yourself is by having compassion when you make mistakes. Deep down you are a pure soul who wants to help and heal others. But it starts with being kind to yourself when you do not understand something or feel you can not do enough. 

You hold the keys to healing and you must start with understanding your emotions and mind. Your emotions are messengers of what feels right and wrong and your mind is trying to put it together to help you survive. You’re carrying past life burdens and it is influencing your relationships today. Some relationships you are keeping because they are familiar but hold you captive. While others feel like something is being taken away from you, but it’s the thing you do not need. One example of toxic relationships is when you feel like you have to do everything because if not, nothing gets done. This will hurt you in the long run because it keeps you in a constant state of anxiety and stress and it leaves you feeling not good enough.  

You are not responsible for other people’s healing process but you can facilitate it when they start asking questions. You are the example when they have no one else to look to. You can hold yourself and all the “imperfections” knowing that it’ll be okay because it’s your prima materia and is how you can help heal other people.
