The Moon through the Signs

In the Hermetic texts, the soul’s journey back to the divine begins at the Moon. She is the first sphere of the ascent, the threshold between earth and heaven. On the way down, it is through her that the soul receives the gifts of the planets above.

Seen through a Hermetic and Archetypal lens, the Moon is the soul’s most intimate layer. She rules everything in us that rises and falls: moods, memories, appetites, habits, and instincts. She is also the realm of infancy, of the occult and the unconscious psyche, of the mother and of motherhood. Above all, she is the emotional world itself, both how we react and how we protect and nurture.

In this workshop, we explore the nature and meaning of the Moon in astrology as we travel through the twelve signs of the zodiac, discovering how each one gives her a different face. We will meet the Moon in the natal chart in each of the participants.
