[Music] the moon is the nurturer, the mother figure. The moon creates no light of her own; she reflects the Sun. The moon provides sustenance and nourishment as we fulfill our solar destiny, as we actualize the soul. The moon supports the potentials of the Sun.
It is the moon that guides us at night, the moon that symbolizes the unconscious emotional potential. The Sun symbolizes the conscious, actualized potential. The moon waxes and wanes in the monthly cycle, so she is an adjusting principle. The monthly cycle of the Moon creates growth. The Sun begins life, but it is the moon that sustains it.
Feelings are the property of the moon, and so feelings are constantly changing in their and their flow, what they're informing us about. The moon represents change, while the Sun represents constancy. The past is the moon; the eternal is the Sun.
The moon is responsible for memory and the correct assessment of time. It is what has happened in the past, so it's describing what is familiar. We use past experiences, described by the moon, to inform us about the present and the future. And so, the moon is our main reference point for being in the world. Jupiter is our ideological reference point, while the moon is our emotional reference point.
The moon tells us what must be based on past patterns that have already been experienced. So, the moon is our habitual emotional patterns in the present that are really based in the past. And if we don't recognize how our past is shaping the future through applying it to the present, then we're not allowing for new adaptations or furthering the past.
The moon is the mediator between the inner and the outer planets, so that is between self and others. The moon really encourages human adaptation, the development and the survival of one's self in accordance to the environment and their circumstances. So, instincts are the realm of the moon, that ability to feel, to just know an inner truth. And our instincts are what informs us of impending danger, what threatens our survival. So, being in correct contact with these instincts, excuse me, it's actually what keeps us safe.
Safety is another lunar function: safety, security, emotional security, and belonging. And safety is needed to bring about the solar purpose, self-actualization. The human seed that the Sun plants is protected and nursed and grown by the moon. So, think of how the human body grows and heals in our sleep. It heals and protects itself while the lunar principles are at work. So, protection is a moon quality, the ability to grow unmolested and unimpeded.
