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.
