What does it mean when I say your Moon is in Aries or Capricorn or Virgo or any of the other astrological signs?
Most likely, I'm talking about the sign your Moon was in at birth. Because of the way our society is structured, many astrologers will tell you the Moon is the second most important planet in your chart. They believe the Sun is the most important planet to look at in a chart.
I'm a bit of an outlier - though not alone - in believing the Moon and Sun have equal importance in a birth chart.
The Sun represents - through archetypal energy - our basic core, our life purpose - why we are here; how we get to the place where we fulfill our life purpose, and what makes us feel important or unique.
Just as important, our Moon represents - also through archetypal energy - what nurtures us, what makes us feel loved and what environments give us the most comfort.
Please follow me below the orange curlicue for a brief discussion of each Moon sign.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group gives Kossacks a safe place to check in, a daily diary where we can let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, earthquakes, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It also allows us to find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, earthquakes etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a Kosmail and ask to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
We do have a diary schedule. But, when you are ready to write that diary, either post in thread or send FloridaSNMOM a Kosmail with the date. If you need someone to fill in, ditto. FloridaSNMOM is here on and off through the day usually from around 9:30 or 10 am eastern to around 11 pm eastern.
