Moon

Spending some time unpacking your emotions is time well spent. The Moon encourages us to open ourselves up and to communicate our true feelings. There may be issues with your mother or women in your life that you need to resolve. Listen to your instincts and your feelings and make efforts to express them more honestly. Pay attention to your mood. Your first reaction may be the best; trust your instincts and reflexes. Seek out or offer your mothering and nurturing side. Pay close attention to the health of your stomach and breasts.

In other words, Gemini occupies the majority of my 1st House. The 1st House IS the Asc, and the 1st House has to do with the image you project. I've been more aware of the Gemini influence on me as of late.

But I think what has stuck with me so far about the Anarectic Degree is it does give one more of an "edgy feeling" about life. It could be one way, then all of the sudden be another way.

Also, one of those links described the Aries Point which is another little thing I'm curious about. My Moon is a singleton in Aries at 1 degree. Is that also on the Aries Point (which is zero degrees) by conjunction/orb? And, if so, does anyone know how that would then influence my Moon further? Dealing with planets alone in my chart, my Moon has the most aspects to it by far and, by recognizing it as a singleton I have come to understand how truly important it is in my life. Thus, I'm curious about this Aries Point because it might be able to explain what everything else hasn't, you know?

Thanks in advance.

Now the Aries point is something I know nothing about but I too am curious now that you bring up the question about orbs. Because I have Moon at 29' Virgo which is almost 0' Libra - opposite Aries Point. I tend to think there is an allowable orb of influence...but I'm not sure. And my NN is at 4' Aries.

And wow, yes, how your moon is placed in your chart by singleton and at the AP seems very significant. Though I'm not quite sure how. To me it seems the moon would play an even more significant role in your life!

I'll have to think about and look into all of this alot more.

I know of a woman whose Juno is at 29 degrees, and despite the fact that she has many theories about taking relationships seriously, jumps into them quickly. A man with 29 degrees of Mercury agonizes over decisions in his life, and vacillates between talking too much and too little.

Besides decision-making problems, vacillation, and jumping into situations blind, the 29th degree is also associated with a sense of urgency. It's the last degree of the zodiac sign, and there can be a real sense of urgency surrounding the characteristics and associations of the particular sign http://www.cafeastrology.com/criticaldegrees.html

I think the reference to perhaps feeling more or expressing more of the following sign is related to a house whose cusp is at 29 degrees, rather than a planet positioned there. Moon in Aries is Moon in Aries whether it's at 00 degrees or 29 degrees (granted, there is talk of decanates, etc. but those are nevertheless subdivisions of Aries or whatever sign is in question). However, let's take me for example. I have Aquarius on my Ascendant at 29 degrees. If you picture my natal chart, you'll see that the overwhelming majority of my first house is Pisces, and only that one degree of Aquarius is present. I personally follow the Equal House system and so, looking at my chart that way, you'll see that all my houses are similar to my first house in that respect. Pisces rules my second house, but the overwhelming majority of my second house is Aries, and so forth. Thus, although the house itself is ruled by one sign/planet, it finds most of it's expression in the following sign. For example, my second house is ruled by Pisces, remember? But I have my Moon in Aries at 1 degree also in my second house ... thus any aspects formed to my Moon deal with the Aries influence and not the Pisces influence in regards to second house issues. I hope that makes sense. I'm not sure if this theory is supported by anything at all, really, which is why I asked a question about it. The main and obvious reason this was brought to my attention is that people always guess I'm a Sun Sign Aquarius. I'm a Sun Sign Sagittarius with Aquarius Rising. However, the second most often guessed Sun Sign and the first most often guessed Rising Sign for me is Pisces. It finally hit me one day that most of my first house is in Pisces and I began to wonder if that accounted for my seeming Piscean-ness. I have nothing at all in Pisces and even my Neptune, although prominent in my tenth house, is in Sagittarius conjunct my Sun. Very curious.

"For example, if Mars is at 29 degrees, the native may devise many plans of actions, worry excessively about the possible actions and different routes to take, and then execute a spontaneous action that is contrary to the decision!"
