Moon Transits In Your Daily Spiritual Practice

There are many additional ways to apply Astrology in a spiritual lifestyle beyond the customary horoscopes and birth charts. For example, following the lunar transits is one of my favorite methods for working on my personal growth and spiritual development.

The Moon is the fastest transiting planet of the Zodiac, as it moves into a different sign every two and a half days. The Moon’s monthly journey through the constellations, enables us to reflect on the qualities and pertinence in our charts of each of the twelve zodiac signs.

How does one use the energies of lunar transits as a guide for personal and spiritual growth? In my work as a professional astrologer and psychic reader, I have found the following aspects useful:

Natal Chart

Do you have a strong natal Moon? How is it aspected? Have you struggled with any emotional issues in your lifetime? A Natal Moon with a lot of squares and oppositions can predict issues such as emotional lability and impulse control. Gaining insight into one’s struggles through astrological interpretation can help a person find spiritual healing.

Also, consider the transiting Moon’s current aspects with your natal chart. Is the Moon, for example, in a conjunction with your natal Mars? This aspect may create an emotional need to connect with your inner warrior on that particular day. Or perhaps the Moon is transiting your midheaven sign today, which is the highest point at the top of your chart that says, “I’m here!” to the world.

Astrological Conditions

General astrological conditions help discern the actions of the world at large and why people may be feeling more or less stress, positive or negative emotion, or mental acuity than usual. This is especially true around solar and lunar eclipse events.

How is the Moon currently interacting with the other planets? Are there many tense aspects, such as squares or oppositions? Is it going through a long void of course or lack of aspects to any planet in today’s sign? Is the Moon currently in a sign it likes to be in, such as Cancer or Taurus? Or is it in detriment in Capricorn or Scorpio?

Lunar Affinity

The Moon represents divine feminine energy, yin qualities, intuition, and psychic awareness. Some people are simply more drawn and attuned to the energies of the Moon. You too may have a powerful ‘moon nature’ or lunar personality, but only you can discern for yourself if this holds true for you! And if the Moon appeals to you, keep looking up! Consider expanding your spiritual practice by including a daily lunar meditation or contemplation practice.
