Rhythm of the Moon
The Moon is like a satellite transmitting the radiation or frequencies in positive and negative pulses from the so called Chrystal spheres, where the wandering stars dwell with the fixed stars in the background, filtering and directing through our emotions in to our physical body that we live in. Our emotional nurturing is directly related to the placement of the Moon in our birth chart, and how its related by distance to the Sun and Wandering Stars. In distance I mean the relation the wandering stars and luminaries make with each other during there movement through the zodiac.
Each Month has approximate 13 void-of-course Moons, sometimes 12 in February or 14 in one of the other Months.
In this Monthly transition, the Moon travels through the twelve Zodiac signs.
The twelve Zodiac signs are star constellations arranged in,
four elements, "Fire, Earth, Air and Water",
and three modes, "Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable.
The Zodiac signs are commonly known as our birth sign,
when the Sun is that Month in that particular Zodiac sign at the time of year during your birth.
The Sun transits through the twelve Zodiac signs in one year.
The moon through all twelve in 28 days.
Each sign has 30 degrees.
The energy or movement of the three modes are;
Cardinal, spiraling from the center outward.
Fixed, spiraling from outside to the center.
Mutable, spiraling in and out.
Woman have the privilege of menstruating with the rhythm of the Moon and therefore physically more receptive to the emotional changes within each Monthly cycle.
So is nature, planting with the Moon's position, is one practical example.
The three Fire signs are :
Aries - Cardinal
Leo - Fixed
Sagittarius - Mutable
Fire signs are associated with. New beginnings, Inspiration, Adventure.
When the Moon is in a Fire sign it's a good time to plant or attend to seeds and fruits.
The three Earth signs are:
Taurus - Fixed
Virgo - Mutable
Capricorn - Cardinal
Earth signs are associated with, Tangible, Workable, Practical.
When the Moon is in an Earth sign it's a good time to plant root vegetables or attend to the root system.
The three Air signs are:
Gemini - Mutable
Libra - Cardinal
Aquarius - Fixed
Air signs are associated with, Communication, Thinking processes, Intelligence.
When the Moon is an Air sign it is a flower day, good for planting and/or attending to flowers.
The three Water signs are:
Cancer - Cardinal
Scorpio - Fixed
Pisces - Mutable
Water signs are associated with, Caring, Feeling, Sensitivity.
When the Moon is in a Water sign, it is a good time to plant or attend to leaves.
In my experience seeds planted during a Void-of-Course Moon time, struggle, stay small or do not sprout at all.
You can however work your compost.
The same can be applied to other aspects of life.
The phaces of the Moon depend on the position of the Sun. When the Sun is in Aries, the New Moon will be in Aries too.
