Your emotions aren’t you — they’re your Moon’s mood swings [Health Astrology]

Emotions come and go like tides. They swell, crash, recede, and repeat. Astrologically, this is the Moon’s domain. It governs feeling, instinct, inner tides. But the Moon never stays still. It waxes, wanes—never holds one form. So too our moods shift constantly. What we feel is real, yet temporary. Often, we mistake these passing states for truth. But we are not our emotions. We are not the sadness, nor the joy. We are the space they pass through.

The birth chart shows how the Moon behaves. In fire signs, it flares up fast. In water, it deepens and lingers. Air brings thought to feeling. Earth steadies it or buries it. Aspects add nuance, intensity, silence, confusion. But still, the rule remains: it moves. To attach too tightly is to suffer. Emotions are messages, not identities. Learning this is freedom.

We practice watching. Just watching. Not fixing. Not running. Just presence. Mindfulness is not a solution. It is a space, a soft place. It lets us see the wave without drowning. Breathing becomes a compass. Each breath marks change. Each pause reminds us we’re more. The practice is quiet, invisible, but deep. Over time, we stop taking moods personally. We stop believing every passing fear.

Yet, a paradox remains. We are the observer—and the observed. The sky and the cloud. The silence and the cry. To be human is to carry both. We are not seeking detachment, but clarity. To feel, but not be ruled. To notice, but not absorb. This is the Moon’s lesson. Change is not the enemy. Identification is. We return, again and again, to stillness. Not to escape, but to remember. We are the sky—wide, open, and unchanged.
