Challenge Entry Two: 
Moon Magick!
I decided to take this challenge in a bit of a different direction. Rather than working with the moon magically I decided to do some research into my astrological moon sign and how it might affect my life.
I am a Sagittarius Moon - 
- and was born under the light of a waxing crescent.
Per the guidebook for the Spells8 Stellar Astrology course, my Moon sign relates to the following:
Sagittarius: Emotional security through personal growth, comfort from diverse friend
groups, optimistic demeanour, easily bouncing back from setbacks, bury their emotions
within and put on a face, feelings of resentment, emotional outbursts, flaky and unreliable,
cycles of enthusiasm and desire for growth, exploration and learning as emotional outlets.
My Moon is also in my sixth house. According to the same guidebook, that relates toā¦
Sixth House: Fulfilment from service to others, sensitivity to work environment,
nurturing colleagues, well-being through routine, emotion linked to physical health,
stability in work, self-care
Moon signs reveal what is hidden within. It determines how people show, process and understand their emotions. Moon signs also reveal a personās ability to tune into their intuition and listen to their instincts. It is the signpost to hidden powers.

The Moon can influence the relationships people have with their mother or more nurturing parent. It can also reveal sympathies, securities and insecurities, as well as the desire for comfort and protection. The Moon influences memories and cyclical or habitual existence, illustrated by its own monthly cycle. At its best, the Moon brings emotional awareness and a connection to intuition. It also brings a strong sense of care and compassion. However, at its worst, the Moon brings a struggle to make sense of and fully control emotions. It can bring emotional volatility, mood swings and oversensitivity, as well as the struggle to show empathy or nurturing instincts.
One thing I struggle with in astrology is putting the pieces together. I know what the Moon in my chart relates to. I know what the sign of Sagittarius relates to. The problem is putting it all together. Iām glad I have these courses and online information to help me put the pieces together like a puzzle. So, here are some pieces of my puzzle.
More than anything, Lunar Sagittarians have a need for personal freedom and space. They are extraordinarily happy and easygoing folk, as long as they donāt feel caged in or cooped up.
Lunar Sagittarians have a simultaneous need for activity. Meeting new people, going out in the world, and travel are all important to their sense of well-being. They love open spaces, and, in their homes, a roomy and bright environment.
Thereās a bit of a teacher in Moon in Sagittarius, and definitely a helpful spirit. They easily forget appointments and the like, and some are even considered irresponsible. However, it is hard to stay angry at a Lunar Sagittarian! They are so cheerful and upbeat, and their optimism is catchy.
Many people with this position are outdoorsy types. At the very least, they have a great love for friendly competition.
When the going gets tough, these people run away. They donāt like to be caught up in routine for too long, and they simply need to escape.
Thereās a blind faith in Lunar Sagittarians that is admirable. They simply believe that everything will work out. Not much for making detailed plans, people with Moon in Sagittarius prefer to wing it. Theyāre very adaptable and generally on the go.

And then from TimePassagesā¦
The moon in Sagittarius gives an uninhibited, freedom-loving personality which may incline to the restless. You are very idealistic, and see the best side of everyone. You are happy and fun to be around. You are also apt to be impatient. You tend to react to situations with action rather than with reflection. You can also be unrealistic in your approach to situations. You should learn to temper your idealism with reality in setting out to achieve your high aspirations.
In all of this, I need to remember that The Moon is supposed to be who I truly am on the inside, not who I make myself appear to be on the outside. I still struggle to see some of this within myself - I tend to be a bit cynical and donāt quite understand how the rest of my chart plays together with this. More studying is necessary, for sure, but Iāll get there one day.
