Your Life is a (Loving) Argument the Sun and the Moon Are Having

Soul purpose, physical limits, and a solar and lunar astrology of individuation

In traditional astrology, the position and condition of the natal Sun and Moon are primary significators of a life’s path. They are often referred to as “luminaries” or light bringers, and together they tell us about the specific pattern of light and cosmic thought that initiates a life in a particular direction. It’s like they create a portal to a really specific fractal. While they can be studied individually, they reveal important insights when understood in relationship to each other. The Sun is the fiery, life-giving star torch at the center of our system, and the Moon is the Earth's satellite, absorbing and transmitting the Sun’s light. The symbolic interpretation is roughly that the Sun is the soul and the Moon is the body.

In Astrology and the Authentic Self, Demetra George puts it this way:

The Sun represents the intention of the soul as the divine part of the human mind and the contents of the life purpose. The Moon symbolizes the body that gives the soul life, the senses by which to perceive the world, and the vehicle through which to actualize the purpose in the affairs of daily life and worldly existence.
