Moon

The Moon governs mood, the inner weather, the things you do not say out loud. In a daily forecast, AIstra often opens by noting which sign the Moon is moving through.

If the Sun is identity, the Moon is the inner weather: mood, memory, gut reaction, the things you feel before you can name them. Classical astrology gave the Moon rulership over the body's tides, the imagination, and the home. Modern psychological astrology adds the dimension of the unconscious.

The Moon moves fast. It changes signs every two and a half days and goes through every sign in a month. That is why daily forecasts vary in tone even when the slower planets sit still: today's Moon is in Cancer, tomorrow it begins Leo, and the inner weather shifts.

AIstra opens many daily forecasts with the Moon's current sign because it is the most reliable predictor of the day's emotional texture. Aries Moon: quick, restless, easy to react. Pisces Moon: porous, dreamy, slow.
