— Priestess of the Moon ☾
❝The air, unlit before, glows with the light of her golden crown, and her rays beam clear, whensoever bright Selene having bathed her lovely body in the waters of Ocean, and donned her far-gleaming, shining team, drives on her long-maned horses at full speed, at eventime in the mid-month: then her great orbit is full and then her beams shine brightest as she increases.❞ — Greek Homeric Hymn to goddess Selene
The long due post is finally out, I have always praised the Moon signs so many time before yet had never have the chance to discover the houses in which she resides in. Today is that day. Enjoy loves:)

➊✶In the Ancient days, all kinds of names and symbols were used to honor the Moon. Among them are Cynthia, Isis, Lana, Selene, Artemis, Proserpine, and Soma. Due to the Moon's acknowledged influence on the moment of birth in mythology, she is pictured supporting her mother as she gives birth to Apollo. As a result, she is accountable for a variety of digestive system and intestine-related diseases, including colic, asthma attacks, measles, and convulsions. The soul embodies and embraces emotions and sentiments such as passions, desires, and feelings.
✶「 Due to its proximity to the Earth's surface, the Moon is the principal conduit through which the sun's vital energy reaches the Earth and everything on it. The Moon, like the planets, has a latitude because it veers north and south of the ecliptic. When the Moon is powerfully placed in traditional astrology, a strong body with short arms and legs and fat hands and feet can be generated. The eyes are greyish or beaming in appearance, and the face is round and tends toward the paler side regardless of one's ethnic origin. Due to the Moon's mutability, it has a caring but variable personality that can become indifferent or timid when other planetary forces have a negative effect on it. Lunarians usually lead restless, gypsy lives but secretly yearn for a more stable, family-oriented existence. As a result, they struggle since they are so perceptive of outward judgments. They are prone to sorrow, whereas the Moon is phlegmatic, chilly, damp, and prone to mood swings. The Moon collects everything that comes to it from the other planets' aspects, both harmonious and otherwise. Moon in an angular house with a favourable aspect is a strong predictor of success. Jupiter and Venus in a favourable aspect to the Moon can be a considerable aid in acquiring and enjoying the joys of the material world. Astrologically, a square or opposition to Saturn can significantly increase the intensity of the Moon in a horoscope. It's critical to note that the Moon adopts the personality of the sign in where it is positioned, and hence it's critical to recognize this. A negatively aspected Moon, according to traditional astrology, is a sure omen of poor health, particularly during the first seven years of life. However, in this circumstance, further considerations must be made. The Moon exerts a great impact over mediumship, spiritism, psychometry, and so forth. It's not difficult to see why the Moon has such a profound effect on the Earth and everything on it. The Moon represents the negative, feminine, mother aspect of all existence, whereas the Sun represents the positive, masculine, father aspect, which corresponds to the spiritual side of all being. Thus, the Moon's effect is greatest during youth, when that form-side is emerging and when the form-side, in the middle of everything else, attracts our attention the most. That is why it is critical that we see the Moon as the foundation of all that is physical, as evidence of this may be seen on a daily basis. Everywhere we look in nature's kingdoms, we witness her hand at work, both constructing and deconstructing the systems that make them. 」
✶Priestesses of the Moon through the houses:
THE FIRST— Individuals with a moon in the first house or a moon conjunct the ascendant are really interesting. The first home is an angular structure, indicating its significance. In a person's chart, angular houses are prominent. They pierce to the core of your being. Planets in angular houses will have a greater influence on the formation of "you" and the demarcation of your path. Individuals with the moon in the first house may be more susceptible to disease and have a paler complexion. While the moon is in the ascendant house, you exude a great deal of "yin" energy. You have a keen sense of perception, are sensitive, and caring. A moon in the first can result in psychic dreams, particularly during your childhood, and will continue to do so only if you have developed that capability. Additionally, it denotes someone who is receptive to energies and hence frequently exhibits empathic tendencies. Additionally, you are likely to resemble and inherit prominent qualities from your biological mother. In traditional astrology, a moon in the first house is considered as a strong connection between mother and kid. A moon in the first house may also indicate a maternal ancestor with intuitive or psychic abilities. You are, nevertheless, a romantic at heart, and you must exercise caution not to romanticize reality. Those with a moon in the first house are superb storytellers, would make excellent journalists, and are highly intuitive.
THE SECOND— The moon has an effect on our emotional intelligence and our ability to use other people's mood indicators to forecast their thoughts and behaviours in order to effectively navigate a social interaction to our advantage. The moon governs social intuition. In that sector of life, the luminary's position in a natal chart will bring social intuition and improved emotional intelligence. In the second house, you have an innate ability for earning money and amassing resources. A moon in this house could indicate someone who is skilled at stock trading. You possess an innate, unexplained sense for money, wealth, and investing. Numerous notable individuals who are renowned for their extraordinary command of finance, economics, and fortune frequently have their Moon in the second house. The moon in the second house also indicates a connection to the land and natural resources, whether through science, chemistry, an awareness of the earth, animals, or work in earth-related disciplines. Moon in second house people find security through material comforts, they need to be materially secured to feel emotionally secured. Suffer a lot with the idea of love as they may find it hard to share sometimes, however, they are very equal partners and will go above and beyond to make sure they get even.
THE THIRD— The third house is a cadent house, indicating places in which we must grow, improve, and go from vulnerability to strength. The third house is ruled by Mercury and the element Air. This is where communication and intelligence reside. It will assess your cognitive abilities and subsequently your ability to convey your thoughts to others. Additionally, it has historically been the location of siblings and early childhood. A moon in the third house adds imagination, creativity, and an emotional propensity to your interceptions. Additionally, there is a fair balance of logic and passion here. You do not make decisions entirely on the basis of logic or reason, nor do you make decisions solely on the basis of emotion. You discover a perfect synthesis of the two. In traditional astrology, the moon signifies the mother, or the maternal influence on a child. The third house is the house of siblings. With the moon in the third house, you may have had a sister or sister-like figure in your life who nurtured you in the same way a mother would. Additionally, we see a mother or mother figure who is vested in your child's education in this scenario. Third house Moons usually have a strong tie to their early childhood or people surroundings their early childhood, whether its family members such as siblings or neighbours or teachers from when they were young, moon in the third strongly feel connected to that part of themselves. Their emotions when run free can be a bit confusing to grasp, but underneath it all, they are still a kid with their emotions if not properly handled, can go spiral without help.
THE FOURTH— Due to the fact that a moon in the fourth house was traditionally connected with land ownership, estates, and inheritances, such an individual would be interpreted as descended from a line of landlords or land owners, and you would have been born into a family of reasonably high social standing. The fourth house moon is seen in modern astrology as a strong indicator of a solid, satisfying home. You could be more introverted, preferring to stay at home, placing a high premium on family, and having been raised by an emotionally supportive mother. Having said that, the fourth house is a Water house, as is the moon. As a result, emotional sensitivity may be heightened in this area. You were born with extraordinary intuitive abilities, a spiritual temperament, and an incredibly loving, sensitive, and empathic heart. Because your relationship with your mother has instilled in you a sense of security in your vulnerability, you are more likely to accept your delicate, sensitive nature. Individuals with this placement may be very attached to their hometown or their community. They have a deep love for where they have grown up but if badly aspected, will leave the town as soon as they can. If well aspected, these people are loving, emotional yet are very intense and find it hard to control their emotions at times.
THE FIFTH— Because the fifth house is associated with vitality, your moon in this house may emerge in one of two ways. Let us examine both. You'll be able to determine which of these categories applies to you. A moon in the fifth house initially manifests as energy in the form of physical force. Here is someone who possesses an innate passion for athletics, sports, fitness, physical health and nutrition, as well as topics relating to physical body fine-tuning. The second manifestation of the moon in the fifth house is vitality in terms of creative ability. Here is someone who values art and culture. This is someone who can lose themselves for hours in an art museum or a display of historical artefacts, someone who adores and respects everything that human creativity can create. A fifth-house moon is typically associated with a parent who has multiple children. It's difficult to identify whether this applies to you as a mother or to your own mother, and it will vary according to the fifth house moon sign. A moon in the fifth house can also represent someone who has more than one child or, conversely, a teacher (and thus, that "many children" energy flowing through). According to astrologer William Lilly, the natal moon in the fifth house was a sign of fertility/virility and fruitfulness for childbearing. A moon in the fifth house can indicate someone who is all over heels in love with love. You are emotionally invested in the concept of romance. It may take some time for you to redirect the energy you invest on transient romantic relationships toward more productive and creative endeavours. Moon in the fifth house denotes artistic ability and inventiveness. When a romantic mind and a magnificent imagination come together, you have the makings of an incredible storyteller, whether through music, dance, visual arts, or writing. A moon in the fifth house may also signal that you develop codependence in romantic relationships, wanting to "rescue" your partners rather than allowing them to develop naturally.
THE SIXTH— The sixth house is ruled by Mercury and the element earth. It is the house that most accurately reflects our everyday life, the mundane, our daily tasks, labours, and jobs. Additionally, here is the location where information about our physical health, body, and wellness is stored. Due to the fact that a moon in the sixth house can create significant emotional tension in daily life, mental health is often a worry when the moon is in the sixth house. With the moon in the sixth house, there may be a tendency toward worry, despair, sadness, feelings of ennui, social isolation, or excessive emotional tension; these are all areas to be mindful of. Given the moon's association with the mother figure, we see someone growing up with either a single mother, a working mother, or a mother who was so absorbed in routine, tedious, daily work of some kind that she lacked the time and energy to give to you. As a child, you shaped yourself into a helpful, useful person by watching your mother's huge responsibilities. You went above and above to assist your family. As a result, you will develop into an adult who strives to assist everyone in every aspect of your life, whether at work or at home with your family. A sixth-house moon is typically associated with someone who is seeking to have it all. You're aiming to be too many things to an insufficient number of people. You must develop the ability to say no, to establish yourself, and to maintain your composure. Standing up for yourself is tough for you as a result of your childhood experience of constantly feeling that people are so busy that you must be quiet, avoid making a greater scene, and attempt to be helpful. However, such youthful conscientiousness results in adult apathy. You end up allowing others to trample on you, particularly at work. If you want to advance in your work, you must develop assertiveness. Be aware of burnouts and poor health.
THE SEVENTH— The seventh house is the alliance house. A moon in the seventh house indicates that you require a connection, that you require love, and that you require fulfilment. You rely substantially on your partner in your home relationships. This may be a trait passed down from your mother, who was likely highly reliant and dependent in her marriage or relationships, whether consciously or subconsciously—most likely subconsciously. Much of your emotional life revolves around relationships and your one-on-one interactions with others. In traditional astrology, men with a moon in the seventh house are supposed to seek mates who remind them of their mothers. Women with a seventh-house moon are more inclined to adopt a maternal position in their social and romantic interactions, and they are frequently excessively caring and attentive. In general, a moon in the seventh house implies an extremely empathetic bond between you and your life partner. You are capable of sensing and comprehending your companion's thoughts. Unfortunately, it is usually impossible for you to distinguish between your partner's and your own emotions—they become entwined within you. Your mate is embedded in your psyche. If there are no oppositions to the moon, the odds of marriage and social success are great. However, if there is an opposition to your moon in this house, which means a planet is exactly 180 degrees away from your moon, you may lose your sense of self-identity if you enter a particularly significant or deep romantic relationship. If not enabled by romantic relationships, they can be extremely codependent on their friends. They are hopeless lovers therefore they don't fall for just anyone. Picky with their feelings and partners.
THE EIGHTH— Those with a moon in the eighth house are considered to be more prone to intense emotional catharsis during key times in their lives. Here, we may be witnessing a more challenging and emotionally draining upbringing. Your relationship with your biological mother may be challenging. Your mother may have been a highly emotional or emotionally volatile individual, which had an effect on your psychology. A moon in the eighth house may indicate an underlying sense of unease that is difficult to overcome as a result of childhood traumas of not being sheltered or properly nourished. On the other hand, those with a moon in the eighth house may encounter a favourable turning point in their lives during their mid-to-late thirties or early forties. A moon in the eighth house can also indicate occult, paranormal, or supernatural happenings, traits, or abilities traceable to your maternal ancestors. Moon in the eighth may have an imposter syndrome and can get extremely uncomfortable in a crowd if they fail to grasp a sense of familiarity. They dislike changes deep down but they welcome it and understand how it is inevitable. They fear looking weak and may consider love to be their poison. Once in love, they keep giving and giving and giving until there's nothing left. They gate-keep their heart and emotions a lot and only show this side of them to a trusted few.
THE NINTH— Individuals with a moon in the ninth house are more inclined toward religion, philosophy, and mysticism. Moons in the ninth house have amazing psychic or spiritual experiences or intuitive dreams that warrant further study. Regardless of whether you pursue higher education through traditional institutions or not, you will always strive to engage in high-quality independent study. You are naturally curious about the world around you and will regularly engage in self-study to have a deeper understanding of it. Consider going abroad If you have a moon in the ninth house, you may enjoy travel or exploring civilizations that are extremely different from your own. Regularly practising this brings you closer to the possibilities and spiritual knowledge you want. Traveling and immersing yourself in other cultures will assist you in gaining the intuitive and spiritual insights you seek. Exploration and expansion will have a significant impact on your destiny. In traditional astrology, the moon represents the mother, while the ninth house represents our ideals, thoughts, and convictions. As a result, a moon in the ninth house may symbolise someone who inherited a significant portion of your cognitive processes and personal beliefs from your mother. Your spiritual perspective on the world is greatly influenced or acquired from your mother's side or maternal ancestry. A moon in the ninth house can also symbolise a mother who migrates from one culture or civilization to another, the culture or society in which you grow up.
THE TENTH— The moon has an effect on our emotional intelligence and our ability to use other people's mood indicators to forecast their thoughts and behaviours in order to effectively navigate a social interaction to our advantage. The moon governs social intuition. In that sector of life, the luminary's position in a natal chart will bring social intuition and improved emotional intelligence. The moon in this house indicates a significant potential for using social intuition to advance in your profession or career path. Always go with your gut when it comes to job or business decisions. You will always be correct in your instincts. By utilizing your social intuition ability, you can amass public favour. You'll have a lot of success if you get involved in public ventures. A moon in the tenth house represents an influential mother figure in your career and personal development. This could indicate that your biological mother or maternal lineage are descended from prominent social and economic figures in your family history. We see a mother who will very certainly have a significant impact on your ability to mature and make career choices on your own. Perhaps unintentionally, your career choices are influenced by a desire to live up to your mother's lofty standards. A moon sign in the tenth is typically associated with a strict mother figure who pushed you to be the best version of yourself she believed you were capable of being. There is a great deal of outstanding achievement going on here. A moon in the tenth house may signify a mother who shaped who you are and your future objectives significantly. Your perspective on achievement and success, as well as your approach to achieving success, are highly impacted by your mother's genetic heritage. Additionally, you may realize that your subconscious definition of success is greatly influenced by your desire to please or remove yourself from your mother figure. In either case, the mother figure has a significant impact on how you define success. However, this plot takes a slight detour if and when an opposition to your moon occurs in this house, such as a planet that is exactly 180° immediately opposite your moon. If your moon is in opposition to you, this may indicate a significant career change in your adult life. Planetary oppositions to your moon sign in the tenth house may throw a kink in your career objectives, but even if you are surprised initially, all will work out for the best.
THE ELEVENTH— Our emotional intelligence is influenced by the moon. Based on the position of your moon, we may deduce how you emotionally engage with others and how you use your emotional intelligence to navigate social situations. Due to the moon's historically maternal association, the social intuition you develop is typically a reaction to your bond with your mother. In that sphere of life, the moon's position in the natal chart will bring social understanding and heightened emotional intelligence. In the tenth, your intuition enables you to negotiate social interactions successfully. You can achieve incredible popularity in clubs, society, politics, or important organizations. You work well in teams and have the ability to develop into an inspiring leader within a team. Let us begin with the positive. A moon in this house indicates someone who understands how to use words and speech to influence and persuade people to experience the emotions you desire. You'd make an excellent novelist or storyteller. On the downside, such authority enables emotional manipulation, which is why, whether you realize it or not, there is a part of you that thrives in politics. Even if you dislike politics, if you pursue civic participation, you will discover that you are quite effective at it, rapidly ascending to the top because people adore you, are emotionally attached to you, and find you charismatic. Individuals with natal moons in the eleventh house, such as yourself, usually develop an emotional attachment to communal concerns and are fervent supporters of a certain social or political movement. A natal moon in the eleventh house may indicate an individual who is deeply invested in activism or who holds strong convictions about critical problems. A moon in the eleventh house typically indicates someone who can emotionally influence people, motivate them to action, growth, and positive transformation through their emotions. You stimulate people' emotions. You possess the ability to affect people's emotions and motivate them to act for social change. The moon in your eleventh house bestows to you a loving, caring, warm, and kind aura that draws others.
THE TWELFTH— As a luminary, the moon is completely dark, illuminated only by the sun's reflection. The moon's brilliance is a figment of the imagination. The glow we see is simply sunlight reflecting off the moon's surface, similar to how light reflects off a black mirror. Certain occult practitioners employ a black mirror as a divination and scrying tool in order to gain insight into the unseen. When the moon is in the twelfth house, it functions as a black mirror, making divination and scrying possible. In this instance, we're dealing with an introvert who values alone. You'd rather be alone. You look inward, into your inner dark mirror, rather than outward, seeking truth. A moon in the twelfth house can indicate childhood isolation or loneliness. It could mean that you had lucid or prophetic dreams as a youngster but were discredited or disgraced when you told your parents about them. As a result, you learned to withdraw and avoid disclosing your darkest secrets. Because the moon is related with our moms, it is possible that your relationship with your mother influenced your introversion and proclivity for seclusion. Additionally, prophetic or lucid dreams may be inherited via the mother's genes. A moon in the twelfth house signifies someone who leads a solitary existence. This also implies that you were discouraged from having prophetic dreams as a child, and as a result, you may have learned to repress such inner scrying purposely. Their emotions are unique and they may continually go into social burnouts.
