ALMUTEM
Moon Opposition Sun
Moon represents your emotions, your instincts and what makes you feel safe; Sun, who you truly are deep down, your willpower and what gives you energy.
The two luminaries in confrontation: the native feels pulled between personal needs and public duties, between the ‘I’ and ‘others’, the conscious and the impulse — two directions hard to follow at once. The intimate life, with spouse and family, is where the tension weighs most, and the native may act on emotional compulsions they themselves do not understand. All depends on how far they have integrated the feeling: cut off from it, the day is tense and all seems to come undone; united in purpose — will and emotion on the same course —, it is rather a day of energy and achievement. In the tradition, it mirrors too the relation between the parents. It asks that one balance the public and the private, sacrificing neither.
