1Kabbalistically, the Moon represents the soul of the grand man. It is, therefore, the celestial virgin of the world, in its mystical appli¬ cation; the emblem of the Anima Mundi. Upon the esoteric plani¬ sphere, Luna becomes transformed into the Angel Gabriel. Upon the universal chart, we see her expressed as the divine Isis, the woman clothed with the sun. As Isis, she represents the grand initiatrix of the soul into the sublime mysteries of the spirit. The Moon, also, repre¬ sents the moulding, formative attributes of the astral light. She, also, stands as the representative of matter. Hence, in her dual character, she reveals to us her forces which are purely magnetic; and as such, they stand as the polar opposite of those of the Sun, which are electric. In their relation to each other, they are woman and man.
2Astrologically considered, volumes might be written regarding this orb. When we consider her proximity to our earth, and her affinity with it, as well as the rapidity of her motion, we cannot help grant¬ ing to her the highest position, as an active agent in every branch of judicial astrology. Her influence is purely negative, however; and in herself alone, or when void of the configurations of the Sun and planets; she is neither fortunate nor unfortunate. But, when con¬ figurated with other orbs; her influx becomes exceedingly potent as she receives and transmits to us the intensified influence of those stars aspecting her. The Moon, therefore, may be called the great astro¬ logical medium of the skies. zed by Google THE NATURE AND INFLUENCE OF THE STARS 261 Upon the Intellectual Plane, Luna governs the physical senses, and to a great extent the animal passions also. She controls the lower forms of the domestic qualities, and the lower group of intellectual faculties. Those dominated by her influx are changeable in their nature, submissive and very inoffensive. Magnetically, their odylic sphere is purely mediumistic; hence, they become inactive and dreamy. Generally, Luna natives may be said to be rather indifferent characters, lacking anything and everything that may be called strong and decisive. They are given to roaming about, or constantly moving their residence from one place to another.
3Upon the Physical Plane, the influence of the Moon is convertible in its nature, being harmonious or discordant according to her relative position to the sun and major planets. If the moon be dignified at birth; she renders the native more refined, engaging, and courteous, than he otherwise would be. Should she also be well aspected; such a posi¬ tion will confer refined, artistic tastes, easy disposition, and good abilities. On the contrary, should the moon be ill dignified or evilly aspected, the native then born will be a shallow-minded, evil character, prone to dissipation, slothful, and void of proper business foresight, consequently, improvident. If the horoscope be a strong one in other respects, and points out sterling ability; then these aspects will tend rather towards making the person diplomatic. These aspects are also a strong indication, when unassisted by benevolent rays, of ultimate insanity. Very great consideration is necessary upon these conflicting points. In addition to the indifferent disposition above mentioned; the Moon, when rising, usually produces a medium-sized body, fair or pale complexion, round face and grey eyes; the forehead wide but not high; temperament phlegmatic.
