Deluxe Lunar Blessings

Most of us are over-drawing our Mars energy at the moment and no wonder. How else to buffer accelerated quantum hype, stagflation, probabilities markets, administrivia and collateralized crap?

It’s difficult to drop out of mission mode long enough to recall our deluxe lunar blessings but it is worthwhile.

I’m not saying ‘yin out’ and spend more time sniffing gardenias or trying to figure out whether ‘hatha’ as in the yoga form could come from ‘Hathor‘ as in the Goddess, although it would be restorative.

Specifically, I’m referring to your natal Moon house.*

Now we know logicially that it’s revealing but I’m re-appreciating it of late via some fascinating examples.

Reminder number one arrived as I realized that three people I’m acquainted with or know of via others close to them have a distinct similarity.

Diverse in age, background, cultural vibe and profession, they share a startling, almost magical-seeming ability to network.

Not in a grimly determined ‘cultivating the right people’ style but fabulously so – able to get on the blower any time of the day/night to introduce someone, share info, return favors or set up the next super-apt soiree.

They’re not really even networking; this is just who they are. But they’re absolutely networked, constantly enriched and enriching through these connections. What’s more, these people retain their individuality – this is not a hive mind scenario – and keep these multiple interplays humming along at just the right rhythm.

And, yes these people all have 11th house Moons.

You see the Moon house is where you don’t – usually – have to strive for the best aspects of that astrological sector. You just have it – it’s a deluxe lunar blessing.

Recalling some of my more deranged social adventures, I was unflatteringly comparing them with the suave conduct of these 11th house Moon people when a revelation zapped in out of nowhere.

My Moon is in the 9th house. So maybe I’m not naturally equipped to speed-read social signals and sure I can come across as either too operatic and manic or vague to the point of being vacant.

But as you will know if you have a 9th house Moon, there is no text, theory or philosophy so dense, arcane or beyond me that I will not attempt to scale it anyway.

What’s more, books, ideas, reading – sometimes knowledge itself – feel like a living matrix to me. Sometimes I can sense when a long-held theory is looping around to re-appear in my life at a higher level or dream information that fills in a gap.

I’m not boasting and in fact 9th house anything can be hell because from toddlerhood, you’re always the one asking ‘but…why?’ And while you want desperately to learn and know things, many teachers will actually loathe you.

But nonetheless, my Moon in the 9th is a deluxe lunar blessing and rather than feel forlorn at comparatively deficient zones, I now aim to be more appreciative.

After all, not everyone can happily store folders full of screenshots of fascinasting ‘to be sorted’ screenshots or be stealth-developing a grand unified theory via their bookmarks.

Thinking about your natal Moon house, how do you experience it as a deluxe lunar blessing?

I know I’ve only mentioned the 11th and 9th houses here but FYI there are some posts on the other houses here.

I’ve just remembered another example. My Sagittarian cousin who has the Moon in her 4th house and major decor chic.

She can walk into furniture shops and someone will come beetling up from the basement with a top-secret, crazily discounted rare artisan lamp or breaking design trend available at 80% off because the packaging is slightly scuffed.

But her specialty is found objects – when she needs something, she dreams in ‘street view’ mode and then tries to zoom in on where it is. She’s also the kind of person you see featured on news feeds because they found an old master oil painting at a garage sale or something.

So, what’s your deluxe lunar blessing?
