The Sun rules by day and the Moon by night. The Sun
represents the positive life-giving principle, where the Moon the negative or
receptive. A great portion of humanity is at the present time preparing to
emerge from the illusive fascination of the Moon’s influence. But it will be
many centuries where the majority are free from its limitations.
We have said in a previous chapter that the delineations
given for the Sun’s (apparent) passage through the various signs of the Zodiac
would also indicate the character of the personality when the Moon was posited
in that sign at birth; with certain modifications.
This is true that the Sun represents the heart, higher
emotions, the purer part of our nature and the character which is at the root
of our being; whilst the Moon represents the brain, the senses and the part of
our nature which cognises and gains experiences from the physical and objective
world.
The distinction between the two luminaries is very marked
and definite, although in the truest sense they represent but two halves of one
whole. Objectively, we see the light from the Moon when she is above the earth
and the Sun below, subjectively, we know that when the personality is strong
and the individuality is weak, the lunar nature is in evidence.
Strong personalities are full of desire and self-hood,
whilst strong individuals are more expansive, broad, liberal and magnanimous.
The former cling to form, perception and objects the senses are more sensitive,
keen and active where the latter are not so bound by the senses, living more in
the mind and the higher emotions, the subjective world being of more importance
to them than desire and impulse.
The student of human nature has learned to distinguish
between the character as severally expressed by the heart and by the brain, he
will find it difficult to discover how much individual character there, is
apart from personal or how much is personal and how much individual.
Particularly at the present time when comparatively there are so few who know
themselves.
As a general rule, the Moon placed higher in the heavens
than the Sun is an indication that the personality is the stronger. Both Sun
and Moon are above earth, both characters may be strong. In nocturnal horoscopes
(that is, when the birth takes place after sunset), the Moon is usually above
the earth; but it may also happen that both luminaries are below and both may
be weak where life correspondingly unfortunate.
