Moon on The Ascendant
A Planet on an Angle is a strong statement in the Natal
Chart. The Ascendant is intuition and the Moon is intuition - making this
placement very sensitive to everything going on around them. The Ascendant is
where we wear a mask and wear our clothes. The Moon is our most personal;
feelings and emotions and a somewhat private energy. When the Moon is on the Ascendant,
the emotional self is difficult to hide from others. This is not a favourable
position for a poker player because this placement will wear their feelings in
their faces. They will appear to others as a compassionate caring person who
can be quite moody. Other people are drawn to Moon on the Ascendant as they
feel safe and nurtured in their presence; perfect strangers will open up to the
Moon on The Ascendant person. Their ability
to make others feel comfortable is outstanding. As The Ascendant is an axis the
opposite side is the Descendant. The Moon is also opposite the Descendant which
relates to significant others, partnerships and marriage. They will project
these qualities onto those relationships and therefore seek out people who are
caring, nurturing, compassionate and moody. The Descendant is sensation – they will
look to others to experience emotional situations with and they will seek out
emotionally competent close relationships.
The Moon in The First House
The Sign of the Ascendant is the cusp of The First House.
Therefore this House is an Angular House; “to be”. The First House is all about
the self, the wants, needs, demands and focus are self-involved and self-motivated,
the ‘me’ in ‘me first’ is found in the First House and to some extent in the Fifth
House. The Moon in the First House focuses the emotions and feeling in the
self. Their feelings come first, they love themselves before others, their
memories are focused on their experiences – if it wasn’t about them they don’t remember!
The Mother is a prominent figure in the person’s life that is seen as quite
directive and straightforward. The Moon rules Women and issues relating to
women and regardless of the gender of the chart there is receptivity to the
roles of women in their lives. It also indicates a keen intuitive ability as
the person is sensitive to the vibe going on around them, they have an ability
to read the emotional landscape in their immediate vicinity. It may not hit
them immediately but as the processing of feeling occurs; it will dawn on them exactly
what went down and what’s going on. This is not a language process; it is not
articulated by the mind, it is a sense, like a flavour mixing in fluid. They
are often found in caring or community roles.
The Moon in The Second House
The Second House is a Succedent House; “to use”. It is
your body which is your first possession. The Second House is all about what is
mine – my body, my possessions, my objects, my money and my values/beliefs. As
most of us no longer live in hunter gatherer tribes and we require money to buy
food and shelter, money is Second House because it is attached to the
sustainability and protection of our bodies. The Second House is also concerned
with sentimentality and the traditions that formed the values and beliefs that
are held. The person will be more open to the conservative values of the
mother. This is a position where emotions are invested in objects, furniture
and possessions relating to deeply held feelings, the mother or mothers line of
the family. This can make for a dealer in olden wares and antiques or equally a
hoarder of everything imaginable. Emotional imbalance can lead to the
squandering of money, retail therapy, refusing to give up objects and the wilful
destruction of objects attached to ill feeling and emotional pain. Binge eating
can be found here as can be fine dining and opulence depending on the emotional
condition of the person. Feeling good is attached to food, luxury and the
manifestation of actual things that can be touched and seen. Saving for a rainy
day is the Moon in the Second; they will do what is needed to secure the safety
and protection of their domicile. They will also consider their monetary
affairs to be private and are likely to be wealthier than they portray
themselves to be. They are unlikely to reveal to anyone any financial problems
or lack of cash flow; it will be managed quietly and out of the sight of
others. If you are dating a Moon in the Second it’s the old flowers and
chocolates routine and a bit of old fashioned courting. Even a Fire Moon will
be slowed down in The Second House. In matters of intimacy this is a sensual
tactile slow moving position for the Moon which is passive in ‘position’ and prefers
to receive than to lead.
The Moon in The Third House
The Third House is a Cadent House; “to understand”. It is
all about thinking, talking and moving around that which is local and familiar.
The Moon in this position is emotionally affected by whatever is going on
around their local neighbourhood. They will be plugged in to what is going on
and feel a connection to locals and neighbours. They are also emotionally in
tune with siblings and are keenly intuitive about what is going on for close
familiar relatives. This position of the Moon needs to talk about their feelings
and to analyse their feelings as to why they are feeling the way they are feeling.
They can also become quite restless when facing ill feelings or emotional imbalance.
Walking can assist them to sort out how they feel and it will cause fatigue so
they can sleep, rather than lie awake all night worrying about the emotional
situation. They will also go on long drives, train or bus trips to sort through
their emotions or just because it makes them feel good to travel around their
town. The intuitive Moon has the ability in this position to read the nonverbal
communication of others – the body language, the gestures, the look on their
face, the vibe they put out and they have the ability to read the language
used; through an extraordinary auditory interpreter. It’s almost as if they can
hear the spaces between the words and the pauses have as much if not more to
say than the language chosen. Intense or
strong emotions can cause this position to gag the tongue, making it difficult
to near impossible to articulate or communicate at all. The person may just cry
and babble making no sense at all as they are so overwhelmed by emotion equally
they have the ability to express emotion and empathy through the voice and can
make brilliant speeches as they can touch and connect with their audience. If
the Moon in the Third understands the why behind the feeling – they feel good.
Where no understanding can be reached they have trouble letting the feeling go.
