It takes the Moon 29.5 days to go around the mandala. During that time it activates every gate and line in the wheel and it does that 14 times a year. It stays in a gate for half a day. Every two hours the Moon is shifting a line.

The pull of the Moon is a force that is powerful and always there – willing to embody the message of our Sun’s energy. The input comes from the Sun but the direction or force or drive is represented by the Moon.

The Moon is the archetype of the eldest daughter and makes possible the task of the Earth (Mother) to drive and move the form, thus ensuring evolution.

It’s also the reflected light that others see in our inner nature brought to the surface and placed on display.

It’s continually providing us with the opportunity of illumination, always moving from darkness to light … taking us through a complete cycle. That cycle is so profound that most of the calendars of the ancient world were lunar instead of solar.

The Moon creates the gravity field on our planet so we can stand up and so that plants can grow upwards. It pulls the tides of the oceans and affects the rhythms of our life. It has a magnetic pull upon the earth. In the mystical sense, we all have a lunar body, for our geometry is conditioned by the Nodes of the Moon.

The Moon conditions the sleeping human and the rest of life on this planet. It is our deepest connection to the totality. It’s truly what moves us. Its influence extends far beyond its impact on any gate.

Love Yourself,
