Moon
astrology:
The Moon is one of the basic Western astrological planets (even though it is scientifically a natural satellite). The Moon is personal in sign, house, and aspects.
The moon rules desires as opposed to ego, need as opposed to expediency or reason. It describes how you feel about yourself, how you handle relationships, and how you emotionally respond to situations and experiences. It describes the flow of your daily functions; physical, emotional, and mental. The moon respresents your residence and domestic environment. It rules babies and young children, your mother and other important females in your life. —Peggy, astro-consulting
In the traditional ages of man, the Moon rules infancy.
numerology:
In numerology the Moon vibrates to the number 2.
the Heavens of Assiah: 9 is the Sphere of Luna in numerology —Aleister Crowley
