About Mercury

Mercury is one of the key planets in astrological interpretation, and it holds a special place in shaping an individual’s personality, communication style, and thought processes.

In simple terms, Mercury is associated with the way you think, speak, and process information.

Let’s delve into this with a gentle and caring approach.

 

Podcast Episodes

Listen to our latest podcast episodes and learn about the planet MERCURY and how you can interpret it in your charts.

In these episode,s Alison and Arwynne discuss all about Mercury in your chart.

They share some keywords and how this personal planet expresses itself in each sign and house.

Influence

Mercury is often described as the planet of communication and intellect.

It influences how we express ourselves, how we learn, and how we perceive the world around us.

Imagine Mercury as the cosmic messenger, delivering the thoughts and ideas from the depths of your mind to the outside world.

Communicates and Learns

Mercury’s position in your birth chart plays a significant role in shaping your communication style and learning preferences.

It affects how you process information, make decisions, and interact with others.

If Mercury is strong in your chart, you may find it easier to convey your artistic ideas and connect with people who share your creative passions.

On the other hand, if Mercury is challenged, you might face hurdles in effective communication, which can be a valuable area for personal growth in your artistic pursuits.

Sign

The zodiac sign in which Mercury resides in your birth chart adds another layer of complexity.

Each sign bestows certain characteristics and qualities upon Mercury.

For instance, if Mercury is in a fiery sign like Aries, you might have an energetic and assertive way of expressing your artistic ideas.

If it’s in a watery sign like Pisces, your art could be deeply intuitive and emotionally charged.

House

Furthermore, the house placement of Mercury in your chart determines the specific areas of life where you channel your creative and communicative energies.

If Mercury is in the 5th house, which is traditionally associated with creativity, your artistic endeavors are likely to be a significant part of your life and identity.

Aspects

Mercury’s aspects to other planets in your chart also influence your artistic journey.

Positive aspects like trines and sextiles can enhance your ability to communicate and create, while challenging aspects like squares and oppositions may require extra effort in order to harmonize your artistic expression with your inner self.

Mercury and Art

In astrology, Mercury isn’t just about words; it’s about the entire spectrum of communication, including the silent language of art.

It’s the gentle whisper in your ear, guiding you through the intricate dance of colors and forms.

By understanding your Mercury placement and its aspects, you can gain insight into your artistic strengths and areas where you can improve.

The Moon, Your Mother and Food

The Moon, Your Mother and Food

by

Author: Alison Price   –   Published: September 2018   –   Revised: July 2024

The Moon, Your Mother and Food

The Moon in astrology serves as a significant indicator of how you experienced your mother and your relationship with food.

Your Moon sign offers insights into how your mother influenced your eating habits and emotional responses related to nourishment.

While a comprehensive analysis of your lunar chart is essential for a detailed understanding, starting with your Moon sign can provide valuable initial insights.

 

Your Moon Sign and Eating Habits

Your Moon sign represents your instinctive reactions and emotional needs, which are often shaped by early childhood experiences, especially those involving your mother.

The nurturing you received and the habits formed during those formative years play a crucial role in your relationship with food.

When you think back to your childhood, the comfort foods you reach for today are often those associated with early habits and the emotional patterning established by your nurturing environment.

These foods are linked to memories and feelings of comfort and security, which were instilled by your mother or primary caregiver.

Revisiting Childhood Memories

Imagine sitting at the kitchen table as a child.

Try to recall the sounds, smells, and feelings from those moments.

Perhaps you can still hear your mother’s voice, reminding you to eat your vegetables, or the aroma of a favorite dish she used to prepare.

These memories are not just nostalgic; they are integral to understanding your emotional connection to food.

Analyzing the Lunar Complex

While your Moon sign provides an initial understanding, a full analysis of the lunar complex in your natal chart is necessary to uncover deeper insights.

This includes examining aspects, house placement, and other factors that influence how your emotional needs and eating habits were shaped.

By reflecting on these early experiences and exploring your Moon sign, you can gain a better understanding of your current relationship with food and how it ties back to your childhood and your mother’s influence.

This awareness can help you make more conscious choices about your eating habits and emotional responses, leading to a more balanced and nurturing relationship with food.

Moon Signs: A Mother’s Influence on Eating Habits

Moon in Aries Mother

“Eat it while it’s hot,” she commands as she places a sizzling plate in front of you.

Her fiery energy infuses meals with urgency and a sense of immediacy, encouraging you to enjoy the moment and not let anything go to waste.

Moon in Taurus Mother

“Don’t gulp your meal. Take your time and taste the food,” she advises.

Her nurturing revolves around savoring and appreciating each bite, creating a slow and deliberate eating experience that emphasizes quality over quantity.

 

Moon in Gemini Mother

“Hurry up and finish your dinner, I want the table for our jigsaw puzzle,” she says, drumming her fingers.

Her multi-tasking nature often leads to meals being a quick affair, making way for the next intellectual or social activity.

Moon in Cancer Mother

“I prepared your favorite recipe, so when you eat it, it will make me feel good,” she murmurs, patting your hand.

Her emotional connection to food is strong, and she finds joy in nurturing through homemade comfort meals that evoke feelings of security and love.

Moon in Leo Mother

“I have created yet another culinary masterpiece in my kitchen. I have put my heart into the preparation of your meal. I hope you appreciate it. Eat up,” she declares dramatically.

Her meals are grand expressions of her love, and she seeks recognition and appreciation for her efforts in the kitchen.

Moon in Virgo Mother

“Everything in this meal is healthy, so clean your plate,” she insists, meticulously checking a food values label.

Her attention to detail ensures that meals are nutritious and balanced, promoting a disciplined approach to eating.

Moon in Libra Mother

“I’ll make a deal with you: If you eat your veggies, we can have cake,” she proposes, sitting opposite you.

Her balanced approach to meals often includes negotiations and compromises, creating a harmonious dining experience.

Moon in Scorpio Mother

“Don’t waste food, people in the world are dying of starvation. Eat up,” she says, watching you closely.

Her intensity and awareness of deeper issues translate into a no-nonsense attitude towards meals and a strong emphasis on not wasting food.

Moon in Sagittarius Mother

“I’m trying a new-fangled recipe, what do you think? Oh, please have some more, I made plenty.

In fact, there is enough so I can take what’s left to the big hall meeting later tonight,” she exclaims enthusiastically.

Her adventurous spirit shines through in her culinary experiments and generosity.

Moon in Capricorn Mother

“I’m tired of cooking you the same old meals every day, but tradition is tradition, so eat what I say.

I am your mother (and therefore the food authority),” she states firmly.

Her adherence to tradition and authority makes meals a structured and predictable affair.

Moon in Aquarius Mother

“I have to dash out to my book club, but you can find something to eat, can’t you?

There is cold pizza in the fridge,” she says, standing at the door.

Her unconventional and independent nature often leads to a more laissez-faire approach to meals, encouraging self-sufficiency.

Moon in Pisces Mother

“I have had to sacrifice to provide this meal. If you don’t eat it, I will be upset,” she softly says.

“But, I fed you only yesterday!”

Her empathetic and sometimes sacrificial approach to nurturing can make meals a deeply emotional experience, often tied to her own feelings of sacrifice and care.
