Talking about motherhood is to talk about the Moon. This voluble, sensitive aster is, among other things, the one who points out how we perceived our mother, as well as the type of mother we'll be. And since the mother is the first source of security and nurturing in our lives, our relationship with her will establish our own sense of security. How we were nurtured, how we nurture, and what will nurture us.
The mother is the first love of our life. The maternal image we've constructed will define what we expect to find in the the one who will nurture us in the future.
In the chart, the Moon sign, its house and aspects will describe how we feel secure and nurtured, what sort of things give us security and satiate our primal needs. Do you know yours? Have you ever thought about what makes you feel fed? The more we know how to feel emotionally satiated, the less resented we get whenever we're not fed the way we wish or need. We'll know how to compensate this and to seek other ways of finding comfort, since not always our partner will be able to give us what we expect.
In a next post, I'll talk more about the Moon in the signs and our way of being nurtured. Meanwhile, we can make a creative exercise: get a piece of paper, pencils and different materials (glitter, colored glue, pieces of fabric, whatever), and create a moon. This will be your own particular Moon, the one you got inside yourself. Write keywords in your moon that represent what makes you feel secure, fed, comforted. I'd love if you can tell me about your artwork or even scan it and send it to me! I'm sure we'll have much to talk about.
