In Moon Magic 103, we are going to talk about how the house the Moon falls in influences your work with the moon. While it’s important to work with the moon phase and sign for the qualities of energy you are working with, the house the moon falls in, in your natal chart, shows where the energy of the moon is likely to show up in your life. For example, if you have a new moon in Libra, in the 10th house, it would be a good time to set intentions towards building new relationships to further your career. Or, if there is a waning moon in Capricorn in the 4th house, it might be time to let go of some of the old structures or routines you’ve built at home.
Here’s a handy little guide for working with Moon Magic and to help you decide what house is best for your intention:
The Moon through the houses:
- 1st house – identity, ego, personality, the body
- 2nd house – money you make, values, self-worth
- 3rd house – communication, siblings, neighbors, commuting
- 4th house – home life, family, traditions
- 5th house – fun, joy, creativity
- 6th house – work, health regimen, daily habits
- 7th house – partners, marriage & business
- 8th house – death, taxes, other people’s money
- 9th house – spirituality, higher education, publishing, travel
- 10th house – career, reputation, legacy
- 11th house – friends, luck, hope, social circles
- 12th house – secrets, hidden things, house of undoing
Now this is not the be-all, end-all, meaning of the houses. But it should get you started thinking about what area of life, or environment the moon is activating in your chart. It will also get you well on your way to performing some Moon Magic. To find where the transiting moon falls in your chart, go to Astro.com and run a report for your natal chart + transits. It will show you the moon outside of your natal chart wheel. You can then see what house the moon is currently transiting in your natal chart.
