The position of the Moon the moment you were born, particularly the other planets it was aligned with, reflects both how you subjectively emotionally perceive the world, and how the world subjectively sees you.

            In astrology the Moon symbolizes our individual emotional identity. It also symbolizes our collective emotional identity. When we, as a collective, “feel” a certain way about a person in the public eye, that way we feel about them can be seen reflected in the alignments with the Moon when they were born.

            For example, both actress Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark in the HBO series Game of Thrones, and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, were born when the Moon was aligned with Neptune.

            As well as symbolizing emotions, the Moon also symbolizes women and the mother. Neptune is associated with idealization and selfless sacrifice. When a planet aligns with Neptune, Neptune lends to the symbolism of that planet a heavenly “shine.”

            In the example of Williams and Ocasio-Cortez both women publicly idealize their mothers and praise the sacrifices that their mothers made to support them. And both women are perceived by the collective as “ideal” women in their own right.
