The Moon is private and dynamic. The placement of your Moon informs your deepest emotions, desires, and needs, and like the cyclical lunar formations, you’ll find your emotions in flux along moon lines. In astrocartography, these are the lines to connect to the pieces of you that may go neglected in the day-to-day fast pace of life. Here we cease to ignore the nourishment our inner gardens crave but may not have voices to tell us.
Dualities: Illuminated by the light of the Moon are aspects of our lives needing special attention, nurturing, or even healing. Moon lines can let you into secret worlds you otherwise might overlook. However, in the Moon’s shadow lie self-pity, isolation, and stagnation if one wallows in the emotional depths uncovered.
ASC
The moon on the ascendant brings your more intimate world to the forefront of your experience. You feel the connectedness of your physical and emotional beings and depending on your moon’s placement this can be a validating cushion or a rude awakening to the feelings you’ve been denying. Either way, the moon on the ascendant helps us uncover truths about what needs watering and pruning, offering a sort of motherly energy to guide our inner child in its various trains of thought.
DSC
On the Moon descendant, the emphasis is the Other. The Moon presents itself through your relationships, revealing feelings and needs by way of your interpersonal dynamics. Here is the place to work out the kinks of why you repeat certain patterns, where you need to grow
emotionally, and how you can be better to yourself. People around you hold a mirror reflecting your inner child and all its demands.
IC
At the bottom of the chart, the Moon on Imum Coeli connects you back to family structures, heritage, and your root system. Like each moonline, this is a fluid, revealing energy. On one hand, it can be a great place to reconnect to your sources of spirit. On the other, it shows how your web of origin keeps you locked in place, unable to fulfill your needs. Both are positive in the long run as you shed what’s outdated and reconnect with your source in ways that truly fit you. Here we break the generational curses.
MC
The Moon’s midheaven line leads you to work with your heart. Your deep-seated needs become entangled with your idea of success, and through your work, the world is exposed to your heart. While this lends itself in particular to humanitarian positions, the Moon MC line works its magic through your passion, so wherever your heart lies in career affairs will be how it shines. That being said, this is still a moon line and given to morph around where you feel most drawn to in a given moment. Never to be tied down, the Moon reserves the right to lead you down varying career paths on the MC line.
