The Moon is the natural satellite of the Earth and the second of the two luminaries, the first being the Sun. The lunar cycle, which represents a rotation of the Moon around the Earth, is 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes and 2.8 seconds. Only one side of the Moon is visible from Earth, the other remaining permanently unseen. Depending on its position relative to the Sun, the Moon goes through different phases . In astrology, the Moon speaks about our soul and subconscious, about how we feel inside, about our emotional side, about instincts and intuition. The manifestation of the Moon depends on the zodiac sign in which it is located and the aspects it forms with the other planets. The meaning of the Moon in a female and a male chart is different. In women, it describes the character, the role of wife and mother. For men, it's about the specific relationship they need. The Moon also governs taste receptors, body fluids, emotional issues, memory, digestive organs, and female genitals. The Moon is very important for people born at night. It gives them the opportunity to focus on protecting what they have or have accumulated.
