The Nurturing Caretaker
The Moon, although not a planet, signifies emotions, intuition, and the subconscious mind. Positively, it enhances sensitivity, compassion, and a deep connection to one's feelings. However, the lunar influence can lead to moodiness, emotional fluctuations, or an inclination towards irrationality.

The moon can be correlated to the Greek goddess Selene. Selene was the goddess of the moon. She was often depicted as riding a chariot across the night sky, drawn by two horses, and illuminating the earth with her radiant light. One of the most famous stories associated with Selene is her love affair with the mortal shepherd Endymion. Zeus granted Endymion eternal youth and immortality, and he was said to be in an eternal sleep, residing in a cave where Selene would visit him each night. Her myth symbolizes the mystical allure of the moon and the timeless connection between celestial bodies and mortal existence, emphasizing the enduring power of love.
