Moon Influences

Thanks to Cindy, I am now hooked on astrology. In the past I've never believed in astrology - I'm a libra & I can only identify with half the libra traits. So to me astrology is crap.

AND THEN...
I was educated on the Moon Influences.

To know more about your Moon, find out what is your time of birth. Then you can input the data in this website http://astro.click108.com.tw/ (chinese!) & you can get your entire astrology analysis - where is your sun, your moon, your mars, venus etc etc. The Taiwanese are totally into this by the way. They devote entire talkshows into astrology.

And back to the Moon

In astrology, the Moon is indicative of personality, individuality and the unconscious. It represents instinctive reactions and the side of an individual that will respond to a given situation without prior thought or consideration. In many respects, the Moon personality is one which a person keeps hidden, it's an individual's inner core.

I'm a Libra with my moon in Capricorn. The traits of such a combination are incredibly accurate:

> The Capricorn Moon is an unemotional Moon, rarely exhibiting feelings in an outward manner.

> Nonetheless, the Capricorn Moon is ambitious and eager to learn, usually putting such knowledge to excellent use.

> ...a self-sufficient Moon which has difficulty in expressing spontaneous emotions.

> ...conservative, competitive and rigid regarding feelings.

>....desires control...ambitious thoughts being the driving force...and material success is extremely important.

> .... invariably displays a cool exterior and is very difficult to predict

> ...boundless energy, a lack of control in certain life areas and oftentimes, trouble with the opposite sex.

> ... enduring, brave and do not shrink from less-than-pleasant tasks, if a sense of duty is perceived.

> There may be a tendency toward shyness in some individuals in which case, they are apt to be reserved and not given to spontaneous outbursts of emotion.

The inherent tendencies of Libra & the Capricorn are contradictory to one another:
Libra is essentially outgoing and unrestrained while Capricorn is restrictive and exhibits an abundance of seriousness.

The most accurate of them all:
Hence, a Libra native governed by a Capricorn Moon less like the typical social animal associated with Libra characteristics. Still, this does produce a very warm and reliable personality and these individuals do come across well to others, though not particularly extroverted.

The traits I haven't been able to identify with as a Libra are "Charming", "Sociable", "Out-going". These are not traits that I typically show to others. YET, I know I have these traits deep inside me, but I only display them to people I know well.

Now I know, it's that darn moon in Capricorn.

Self-discovery is always fun.
