The Lunar Body

Why Everything You Touch Is the Moon

For a long time, I thought I understood the Moon.

I could talk about Moon signs. I could describe someone’s emotional pattern with reasonable accuracy. I could explain why a Cancer Moon clings or why a Capricorn Moon withholds. It all worked. Clients nodded. The symbolism held.

And yet something about it felt small.

It wasn’t until I moved apartments three times in two years living in Hong Kong that the Moon started to mean something else to me. Each space changed how I slept. Changed how I worked. Changed what I ate. In one apartment, I couldn’t rest. In another, I stopped cooking. In the third, everything slowed down and my thinking changed with it. Nothing in my chart had shifted dramatically — but my environment had.

That was the beginning of understanding the Moon differently.
