In ancient mythology, the Moon ruled side by side with the Sun god or goddess, and was often more important than the sun, because of it’s wisdom, guidance and spiritual knowledge. The Moon affected so many aspects of life and the personality, that it was often considered to have much power. And given several different names through out history because of this. Here are just a few of the names, that the Moon has been called Selena, Phoebe, Cynthia, Artemis, Hectate and Diana. Artemis, in mythology the Moon, is considered the absolute female archetype, and the total mother and nurturer of the planet. This is best seen through the three phases of the Moon. Wherein, the waxing Moon represents the youthful maiden, the full Moon is the mother goddess, and the waning Moon is the wise old woman. Hence all the ancient lore associated with the several phases of the Moon.

In astrology the Moon rules the sign of Cancer, and is exalted in the sign of Taurus, and in it’s fall in Scorpio. The Moon represents the side of you that you keep hidden, unlike the Sun, which represents what others see of you outwardly. It rules the subconscious in the individual, the Mother and the home. these issues & how they affect them on a day-to-day basis. And, also what truly drive’s the individual subconsciously”. So wherever the Moon is placed in the chart and other planetary aspects to the Moon denote the emotional issues and situations you experience through out your life. The Moon and Cancer are associated with femininity, fertility, emotions, maternity, family bonds, sensitivity and memory. Actually, you might say that Cancer individuals never forget a thing. I like to call them the “family historians”. The cycles of the Moon have always been connected to the ocean, and the movement of water and it’s nurturing powers. Thus the Cancer individual is often a very sensitive and compassionate person. They can sometimes be sensitive to the point of being too easily hurt. Cancer’s are also considered “psychic sponges” because of they’re strong intuition and empathy. But luckily they have their hard “crab” shell to protect them, when they need it. The Moon also rules the fourth house in the astrology chart, which is considered the “dark night of the soul” where the individual must come “face to face” with FAMOUS FEMALE CANCERS: Princess Diana, Barbara Cartland, Pamela Anderson, Lil Kim, Gilda Radnor, Diahann Carroll, Phyllis Diller, LaLa Anthony, Nancy Reagan, Natalie Wood, Monica Lewinsky, Fantasia Barrino, Kathy Bates, Kiely Williams, Meryl Streep, Solange Knowles, Courtney Love, Anjelica Huston, Missy Elliot, Deborah Harry, Edie Falco, Jerry Hall and Khloe Kardashian.
