What it feels like
Some people collect fridge magnets. You collect ways of seeing the world. A new city at dawn, a book that rearranges your thinking, a stranger on a train with a whole philosophy to share. All of these feed you like a warm meal. When you feel stuck, the cure is often a ticket, a course or a long talk about meaning under the stars.
Your beliefs are felt as much as thought, so you defend them with your heart. The old astrologers called this the house of God, the place of faith and long voyages, and the Moon here gives a pilgrim's restlessness. Oddly, the more of the world you see, the more at home you become in yourself, whether in a desert or a launderette.
Optimism with a soul. You help people believe there is more to life than the next bill.
Restlessness can sometimes be a way of running from a feeling. The far horizon is wonderful, and so is the view from your own window.
You need a partner who shares your curiosity, or at least your passport. Shared beliefs and adventures bring you close.
Teaching, travel, publishing, law, faith and higher education suit you. You want work that means something.
How Moon works
The Moon is your inner weather. It describes what you need to feel safe, how you soothe yourself, what your body remembers long after your mind has moved on, and the moods that rise and fall like tides. Where it sits in your chart shows where you look for comfort and where your feelings are easiest for others to see.
