The mother is the being who tried to love us, take care of us and feed us in every way, and it is also the first important relationship in life. It is our first great love. For both men and women, the mother is the first romance. It is important to analyze the Moon based on how our first great passion of life was, since it has an undeniable influence on our subsequent intimate relationships.
The natal chart is useful as an x-ray, if you can read a natal chart well, you can learn a lot about what happened to a person in early childhood.
The Letter shows the inner child of the past in all of us. Our past with its hopes, fearful expectations, with its joys and its terrors, is filed and recorded in memory and is revealed in the letter.
Present relationships have a special way of bringing out deep emotions that were generated in early childhood ties.
The first important relationship is the mother; she is the first love of life, and what happens in this relationship becomes the prototype of subsequent intimate relationships.
The moon in a sign makes you an expert in the qualities of that sign.
On the moon the zodiac quality appears as necessary, as something extremely familiar, which if not present, produces a sense of helplessness; That is why the person depends on it and recreates it unconsciously. This need was congruent in childhood because we enter life through it. But with the passage of time, persisting and staying in the qualities of the moon, is limited, and constitutes an incorrect appreciation of resources and deep needs.
Let us remember a bit the archetypes of mothers across the Moon:
Luna in Aries: she is an invading, active and decisive mother. Intrusive, sharp and dominant. An Amazonian mother, full of aggressiveness.
Moon in Taurus: is a solid, slow mother, linked to matter and body, with great inertia and very high sensory sensitivity. It is placid, solid and sensual. Intense physical contact
Moon in Gemini: it is a mother where communication, word and intellect were present. Emotional messages are transmitted by word, and intelligence is highly valued. Versatility and ability to do several things at once. Duality. The presence of brothers is very important.
Moon in Cancer: she is a very affectionate, present, tender and protective mother. It is complemented by a strong family presence that supports all members. It gives affective security, and sense of belonging. Symbiosis.
Luna in Leo: it is a mother who is the center of attention, the radial pattern of the Leonine energy, also the mother, the grandmother, or some admired, exceptional woman, above the others. It belongs to a family that stands out in some way.
Luna in Virgo: she is an orderly, neat, efficient mother, sometimes the mother needs to be helped in order and cleanliness, and she places the support she needs in the child. Start supposedly more mature conversations and treat the child like an adult.
Luna in Libra: she is a very sociable, harmonious, complacent mother. The importance of the other is important to the mother. Ability to please others who are before household members. Please is registered in the child as a basic assumption. There are always people between the mother and the son.
Moon in Scorpio: she is an intense, vital and mortal mother at the same time. It is a mother of unusual power and intensity, with which a link is established that finds no impediment to stay in a state of fusing absorption. The child experiences the maximum ambivalence between being everything to the mother and at the same time, losing all self-identity.
Moon in Sagittarius: she is an abundant, expansive and confident mother. You will experience through it, existence as joyful and with a sense of spaciousness and freedom, which will allow you to surrender to life with optimism and joy. She is a mother who trusts her son, accompanying him from a distance and enabling his games and desires.
Moon in Capricorn: she is an extremely austere mother, not very prone to physical and emotional contact, issuing cold and distant responses to the child's requirements. The child must take care of himself with a minimal dependence on his environment and having to endure great restrictions depending on achieving the required objectives.
Moon in Aquarius: is a mother with a discontinuous and unpredictable behavior. It is a mother who disorients the baby who has to make a tremendous effort of adaptation, since she suffers from mental disorders or suffers from nervous problems, either for a specific cause or because the family situation exerts excessive pressure on her, making her behavior unstable, so the child cannot count on the security of a continuous supply of affection.
Moon in Pisces: she is an omnipresent mother, who gives her son infinite tenderness and care, within which it is not necessary to make any effort to survive. The child grows without constraints or restrictions. This mother has not been able to cut the umbilical cord that joined her and her grandmothers, and like her, the son or daughter will not have to cut it either.
The Sun and the paternal archetype
In all of us there is an archaic stratum that still exists responding to the magical symbol of the monarchy, the archetype of authority. In ancient times the king was also a priest, and the role of ruler of his people was combined with that of pontifex, who built the bridges and acted as mediator between heaven and earth.
We may need to work to express the Moon, our lunar nature does not consciously strive to set goals in the world. The Moon is also regressive by nature; it always pulls us towards the past and towards the mother-child bond, because our basic emotional and bodily needs essentially do not change. But the sun is progressive.
We never really finished developing the Sun, because this aspect of the personality is always in a process of transformation, moving towards some vision or some future objective.
It is a Solar myth, because the hero is always on the way to becoming something. He was not automatically born as a hero. The right to become a hero and king must be earned.
The relationship we have with our father is deeply linked to the ability we will have to develop our internal "male strength", whether we are men or women. How we will defend ourselves in life, what capacity to start and fight we will have, how we will get along with the authority and, in the case of women, how will be the relationship with our partners.
SYNTHETIZING
To know what our “emotional cradle” was, we analyzed the following points:
Signifiers of the mother. Moon by sign, house and aspects. The 10th House, its occupants and its regent.
Signifiers of the father: Sun by sign, house and aspects. Saturn is added, especially at night births. (in practice we analyze both). House 4, its occupants and its regent.
Indicators of how we experienced our childhood: House 4, its occupants and its regent.
Relationship between parents: aspects between the Sun and the Moon and between the regents of Houses 4 and House 10.
