    Maybe it’s my 10th House Capricorn Moon, but I am having a really hard time understanding the Moon. One of the ‘basics’ that I have yet to get a good grasp on. Like, I get it on an intellectual level but I don’t really *feel* its influence if you know what I mean.

    What are your favorite books and resources for understanding the Moon? Something that really delves in would be ideal.

    Steven Forrest’s Book of the Moon is wonderful. I also recommend just following the moon through your chart month to month, noting how you feel when it changes signs and goes over natal planets and is in different phases. It will help you feel into it. ????

    Skyscript has a good section on each of the planets. You might want to check that out.

    Here are some thoughts from what I’ve learned over the years- the Moon is fertile and fecund, she wants to foster life and support growth and enrichment. She is our needs for shelter and safety and protection and nourishment. She is not constant like the Sun, she waxes and wanes, growing and gathering in her light half and then releasing in her dark half (you can use the transiting Moon’s phases for such purposes). The dark Moon (final phase) is associated with death and the Crone, but it’s the natural processes of death rather than purposeful killing or severing (which is Mars). So she represents natural cycles and cycles in general like menstruation as she is strongly connected to women. She is also about a sense of belonging and memory and remembrance. Our history and connection to those who raised us, particularly our mother- hence family. She also speaks to our inner psychological landscape and how we emote. And it’s from that private, internal, sheltered place (all good keywords for the Moon) that the intuition speaks to us- our gut *feeling,* a mothers knowing. Not everything is logically explainable when it comes to the Moon.

    The Moon is also associated with the tides because they are literally caused by the Moon’s gravitational pull. Bodies of water in general are very Lunar. Overall the Moon is a more internal planet than the Sun, more personal. Hope that helped.

    I’m working with “The Moon Book: Lunar Magic to Change Your Life” by Sarah Gottesdiener right now and it’s very in depth!

    Prob because the moon is in its detriment in Capricorn and it’s influence therefore weakened
