Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this whole progressed moon thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I started looking into it because I felt like my moods and how I deal with relationships were shifting, you know? Like, one minute I’m all independent and fiery, and the next I’m craving peace and quiet. It was making my head spin. So, I figured, why not see if this astrology stuff has any answers? That is what I thought.
First, I had to figure out what my progressed moon even was. Turns out, it’s not the same as your regular moon sign. Your regular moon sign is where the moon was when you were born, but the progressed moon moves through the zodiac signs over time. It spends about two and a half years in each sign, which is way longer than the regular moon, which changes signs every couple of days.
To find my progressed moon, I used one of those online calculators. You just punch in your birth info, and it spits out a chart. Easy peasy. I saw that my progressed moon had just moved into Libra. I knew a bit about Libra from my regular astrology dabbling – it’s all about balance, harmony, and relationships, right?
So, I started paying closer attention to how I was feeling and acting, especially in my relationships. And wow, things started to click. I noticed I was way more focused on keeping the peace than usual. Like, normally I’m pretty straightforward, sometimes even confrontational if I think something’s not right. But with this Libra moon, I found myself smoothing things over, trying to see both sides of every argument, even when I was secretly fuming inside.
- For example, I remember one time I planned to watch TV with my girlfriend that night, and then she suddenly said she wanted to hang out with her friends.
- I’m the kind of guy who would have said no, but that day I was feeling unusually calm, like “it’s okay, maybe next time” kind of feeling.
- And usually, I would get angry if someone broke a promise like that.
I also noticed I was craving connection more. I wanted to spend more time with my partner, my friends, even my family. I was more interested in hearing their stories, understanding their feelings, and just generally being a better listener. It was like I suddenly had this deep need to connect with people on a more emotional level.
But it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. This Libra moon also made me super indecisive. I mean, Libra is represented by the scales, always weighing options, right? So I’d spend way too long trying to decide on the simplest things, like what to eat for dinner or what movie to watch. It was kind of annoying, to be honest. But I felt like my emotions became more sensitive because of this change.
Practicing and Experiencing
Now I started practicing, really paying attention to how this progressed moon in Libra was showing up in my life. I started journaling about my feelings, my interactions with others, and any decisions I was struggling with. I wanted to see if there were any patterns, anything that would confirm what I was reading about Libra.
And you know what? There were. I saw that I was actively avoiding conflict, even when I knew I should probably speak up. I saw that I was putting other people’s needs before my own, sometimes to my own detriment. I saw that I was craving beauty and harmony in my surroundings, and that I was more drawn to art, music, and nature than usual.
It was like a lightbulb went off. This progressed moon in Libra wasn’t just some abstract concept in a chart. It was actually influencing my behavior, my emotions, and my relationships. It was pretty wild to realize that the movement of the moon could have such a tangible impact on my life. I began to see these patterns, and then I decided to pay more attention to what my gut was telling me, to what I really wanted, even if it meant rocking the boat a little.
I’m still figuring this whole thing out, to be honest. But I’m glad I took the time to look into it. It’s helped me understand myself better, and it’s given me some tools to navigate my relationships more effectively. Who knew the moon could be such a powerful teacher?
