#Moon is not even a planet;
It is a #satellite of earth.
It isn’t even #constant in its shape; It wanes and waxes constantly, totally fade away one day, become full on another day.
It doesn’t even have its own light; it only reflects sun’s light.
Then why is it so important in astrology?
It represents our mind.
Because it is fastest among planets, it also shows mood swings, #fluctuating thoughts.
And most importantly Moon is one planet that gives us power to #love another person more than we love can ever love ourself.
Moon gives a mother selfless love that knows no boundaries, has no expectations.
It can give us habit of #back-#biting, gossiping.
moon can make us #cheat. It can also give us #thieving #tendencies.
Moon is equally capable of making us a #spiritual person.
