Moon's Transit through the Signs

This topic was created in the Astrology forum by ~mystic_fish on Friday, August 10, 2007 and has 9 replies.
As the MOON moves through the zodiac it spends approximately 2 1/2 days in each sign. Unique influences from each zodiac sign affect the unconscious in subtle and profound ways. These influences wax and wane and can be tempered or amplified by the signs on either side of the current Moon's placement. (Also these effects are even more heightened when transisting luna enters your natal first house of self.) i've been tracking my own lunar moods, and for me personally, i find the strongest lunar effects are when moon is in Aries-more decisive and asured; good for a Pisces..lol, in Cancer-sensitivity is even higher!..LoL 'more quiet reflection; in Leo-wow, i love this fun transit -moon enters my 5th) -and Scorpio; i can really feel this one too, as it touches and conjuncts my already intense scorpion 7th house descendant. Also Taurus, as the transistory moon will enter my FIRST HOUSE (rising) ..'so just my own brief lunar analysis..
