The Moon represents sensitivity, humor, receptivity, and moods... It goes through the zodiac in a little less than 28 days, playing the barometer on the sensitivity of each of us and nuancing our daily reactions. The full Moon indicates that, seen from Earth, the Moon and the Sun are face to face and, therefore, in opposite signs. The energies symbolized by these two luminaries express themselves in all their ardor, their complementarities, but also their conflicts.
The new Moon occurs when the Sun and the Moon are in the same place, this configuration, whatever the sign concerned, pushes retreat, introspection, and pushes our level of emotional energy up a notch. In general, the transits of the Moon are more active in women. But men (and there are many) who have a powerful Moon in their natal chart also feel the effects.
The influence of the Moon is, therefore, temporary, and for two days, it colors the climate, the atmosphere, and the type of relationship between people. But the displacement of the Moon can also coincides with a larger, more lasting planetary movement, and the Moon acts as a catalyst, generally amplifying the current transit.
