What is a moon child?
It is about the connection
“For everything, there is a season.” – Ecclesiastes 3:1
I am not just somebody born under a lunar phase. I have a strong connection with the moon.
Human history is linked with the moon.
The moon is both an object in space and as a lighthouse to guide people through life.
As a moonchild, I feel an inefable connection to the rhythmns of the moon.
The moon has a powerful energy which is also nurturing, supportive and constantly transforming.
As a moonchild, I am attuned to moon’s phases in a way that can feel overwhelming at times.
This sensitivity to the lunar phases directs me to my emotional landscape and also steers me in a spiritual direction.
Cycles
“The heavens declare the glory of God.” – Psalm 19:1
The cycle of the moon feels so in line with how life really is.
Nature and I share an unspoken bond, a fellowship that transcends the raw materialistic beauty of Earth.
This allows me to become an empathetic steward of the environment and at one with nature.
I am likely attracted to Earth based practices such as moon ritual or working with the soil (even if it’s just enjoying nature).
I am intimately connected to the Earth’s vibrations.
Sensitivity
“If you have sensitivity then mysticism will be part of your life.” – Devendra Banhart
Sensitivity is seen as a weakness, but not for me.
As a moonchild, it’s one of my biggest strengths. I noticed my emotions more then anyone else.
I also notice emotions others let slide under the radar and that made me amazing at reading energy and seeing all unspoken emotion.
But that sensitivity has its downsides. I can be an emotional sponge and this tends to lead to emotional fatigue.
I need to be able to have boundaries and do self-care.
Meditation, energy healing and lunar rituals are spiritual practices that keep me emotionally balanced and would prevent emotional overload.
If anything, the moon provides one of life’s most potent lessons – darkness is as necessary to balance light.
This has taught me how to move through emotional depth with compassion.
Instead of running away from the more challenging parts of myself, I allow them in and use my sensitivity as a pathway to healing.
It is about timing
“He made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down.” – Psalm 104:19
I have this natural intuition of timing of when to move and when to stay.
It also connects me to the natural rhythms of the moon, allowing me to be its apprentice.
I just know when to or not plant seeds.
My faith in the timing of the universe allow me to gain an edge on growth because I don’t rush it. It unfolds organically.
This knowing of the perfect timing makes me a wonderful MANIFESTER.
I just know when it’s time to create intentions (usually at the new moon) and when it’s time to release (full moon).
Knowing that the completion will eventually arrive as beautifully as full moon night gives me an assurance in the importance of being present to each moment.
Having faith in divine timing allows me to surrender control and the need for manipulating results.
I go along with the flow of life knowing that everything is space out appropriately for me.
This is the foundation of my spiritual life. It gets me through each and every day.
Intuition
“I will guide you with my eye.” – Psalm 32:8
As a moonchild, intuition is probably one of my strongest feature.
I do not dwell on logic, but listen to my intuition and it is usually the correct choice.
My intuition peaks when it is full moon. Actually, all emotions and energies reaches to the highest at full moon.
I am also given prophetic dreams that lead me down my spiritual path.
This intuition also shows up in my relationships.
I have a keen awareness of what others are feeling.
I am everyone’s partner who listens to them. But I also have to remember my personal requirements because it is very easy for me to get lost looking after people.
Healing
“Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.” – Hippocrates
I am also a healer by nature. I’m naturally exploring spiritual practices that offer peace.
I love helping people heal through herbal medicine or energy healing.
Part of what makes me a good healer is my ability to self-nurture. I am acutely aware of what I need, and able to deliver it.
Since a young child I have been called to the healing arts and was naturally more interested in many healing techniques.
These enable me to use my lunar energy in the service of others.
However, I need to weigh my giving tendencies vs. receiving.
I have to realize that it is okay to accept help and take some time for my healing process.
It is about feminine energy
“The moon and stars to rule over the night.” – Psalm 136:9
The moon is known for its divine feminine energy.
When I think of the sun, I connect to the masculine energy.
The moon helps me access into that feminine energy as well as my pure creativity.
When I feel compelled to express my inner world, I am usually drawn to creative endeavors like painting or writing.
It is this creativity that acts as a spiritual tool for my personal growth.
Inner work
“Follow your inner moonlight; don’t hide the madness.” – Allen Ginsberg
When the world sleeps, and the moon rules, I take refuge in the night.
This is when my spirit energy is the strongest and this allows for contemplative work to be done.
The night is becoming more sacred to me. It brings peace which is difficult to achieve in the daylight.
At night I hear my spiritual guides the most because all distractions of the day are gone.
It is easier for me to be spiritually connected.
Emotional Depth
“I’m an emotional gangster. I cry once every month.” – Cardi B
I feel things so deeply because I want to know what it’s like on my end as well as the other side of table.
Through this awareness, I am able to journey through life with compassion.
I create the opportunity to touch others in a way that makes my hear sing.
I think people like to talk to me because I can read their true feelings.
That depth of connection allows for a lot of openness and trust in my relationships.
I understand that I feel deeper than the most and sometimes this can be daunting.
This also means being in touch with my emotions to the extent that I feel life deeply.
I feel my feelings because I know they are all in service of my healing.
This journey as a moon child has allowed me to share compassion.
It is about the subconscious
Being a moonchild, I can reach the roots of my thoughts with almost no effort.
I honor the signals from my soul, as they traditionally bear exactly the message I need to hear.
It can feel like my subconscious is pushing me to healing.
I know myself deeply through this connection, which in turn gives me an unshakable calm when faced with the challenges that life throws at me.
