The Moon on The Descendant and The Third Quadrant of The Natal Chart



The Moon on The Descendant

The Descendant is part of the Axis which represents The Horizon in The Natal Chart. The opposite side of this Axis is The Ascendant. The Ascendant is representative of Sun Rise in The Natal Chart and The Descendant is representative of Sun Set in The Natal Chart. The Descendant is the first place in the Houses that we meet others. When the Moon is on The Descendant the person is emotionally connected to others, they will seek close relationships and friendships that are fluid and feeling orientated. There will be emotional investments in others which satisfies their need to connect with significant relationships in a meaningful and loving way. There is a strong need to be in a partnership or significant friendship with the Moon on this angle. There will be a tendency to be attracted to people who need to be looked after, mothered or nurtured. They will seek out the needy in relationships. They will form relationships based entirely on the vibe, the feeling, the click, the flow and the intuition. It is the type of position that would believe in love at first sight. As the Moon is opposite the Ascendant they will also project a certain level of neediness in their persona, equally they will project a caring compassionate nature onto those around their immediate vicinity.  

The Moon in The Seventh House

The Sign on The Descendant is the cusp of The Seventh House. Therefore this House is an Angular House; “to be”. The Seventh House is your close circle of friends and your spousal relationship aspirations. The Moon here describes a person who is motivated to show their care and concern for others, especially for those who are closest to them. The emotional disposition is connected to significant relationships, partnerships and marriages. The best friend or the spouse is the emotional barometer of this position. If everything is rosy with their friends and spouse, all is well, on the other hand if either of these relationships becomes rocky the moodiness and changeability of the Moon is harnessed into a downhill emotional low. The Moon is moody for everyone somewhere in the chart, in the seventh the moods are very much affected by the state of affairs in their closest relationship. Emotional balance is felt when the feelings of love in their relationship are harmonious and they feel connected to their partner. This is not a position that will suffer a shell of a marriage to keep up appearances, if they do, do this, they will end up depressed or have a break down. The Moon is intuitive and interprets nonverbal signals therefore in the seventh they apply this talent to their spouse, business partners/ associates and close friendships which means trying to hide how you’re feeling from them is futile. You might get away with it in the short term but like rising damp the Moon will pick up on it and that will be the beginning of the end of that relationship. How it feels when they are with you is absolutely everything to this position of the Moon, if they don’t feel right with you they will not be with you. They want a partner who is as caring as they are someone who is also compassionate and has emotional empathy for others, they need someone who they feel safe with and protected by, they are not attracted to emotionally remote people who lack any care or concern for others. It’s all about the love and the connectedness with this position of The Moon.

The Moon in The Eighth House

The Eighth House is a Succedent House; “to use”. The Eighth House is all the other people that are not in your close circle and family. The Moon in this position has the ability to tune into anybody’s feelings and emotions. They also have the ability to sense trends and fads in the collective of the population. The intuitive ability of the Moon here can feel when things are appealing to other people; the emotional barometer is set on the feelings and emotions of others. Like the 12th House Moon this position will encounter issues discerning whose feelings are actually going on in a situation. There will be a need to establish emotional boundaries for emotional self-protection. There is the capacity for this Moon to face and handle some of the more intense and torrid emotions of others, as they have been there and they get it! To say that these people have been to hell and back with others and within themselves for some would be the understatement of our current century! These are the amazing people that can tune into the emotional pain of others, meet them face to face, then hold out their hand and walk them out of their pain and suffering. The Moon here is quite happy to change their feeling about someone based on their gut feelings and their ability to read what is not being spoken. The Moon senses on a nonverbal level, here it can sense some of the more hidden of hidden feelings, the ability to uncover that which is hidden here is remarkable. It will just come to them, they feel it they don’t think it, some may not even be able to articulate how they know but they do know and they are often spot on. Emotional imbalance will cause them to second guess their gut which will fail and until they bid Persephone a farewell with thanks they will not return to balance from the underworld of their emotional state. This position of The Moon will not suffer a sexless marriage as it is a position that must connect on a sexual level with the person they love. The sexual connection is deep, passionate and binding. Commit adultery to this position and you might as well go to the court and file the papers for divorce yourself! & NO! They will not speak to you again when they find out! This is the position of the Moon that takes the ‘till death do we part’ section of the vows very seriously!

The Moon in The Ninth House

The Ninth House is a Cadent House; “to understand”. The Ninth House is the seeking and gaining of knowledge and the understanding of that knowledge. Here the Moon seeks emotional comfort from understanding by way of books, study and a philosophical or spiritual/religious framework. This position of the Moon wants to know the why behind a feeling, they want to pull the emotions apart and try to find out what is behind them. They do this as a process to work through their feelings and to learn so they do not have to go through it again. This is a ‘learnt it the first time’ position emotionally.  They can work in areas such as psychology & counselling as they are adept in helping others sort through such processes. There is an innate drive in this position to share the feelings and any techniques of dealing with the feelings and emotions so as to grow and develop. Emotional satisfaction will be felt through teaching, instructing, training, nurturing or mentoring others. They will also want to connect with the greater world and all of its cultures through experiences which will compel them to travel the world. There will be a connection to the Goddess of cultures and the icons and rituals of women will appeal to them. The mother’s academic levels will influence the child with this placement. The intuitive Moon here can follow a hunch, a clue, or a fragment and come up with a result as to the where, why and the best solution for everyone to restore harmony. There can be issues for this Moon at times because feelings are not rational and words are useless but they also have the capacity to sense when this is the case and will likely fall back on a story, a Greek myth or archetype to process the emotion through the moral of the story. The Moon in the Ninth will always fall on their feet emotionally where others would fail to extricate themselves from emotionally difficult circumstance the Moon in The Ninth will sail through it. They can do this because they learn from situations and move on or they book airline tickets and they are gone for the summer. They avoid heavy emotional situations they really do prefer light and breezy.
