Moon

The moon is the feminine principle in its cyclical form. Hindu tradition gives us Chandra, the god who waxes and wanes; Greek myth offers Selene, Artemis, Hecate — the triple goddess. Jung called the moon the unconscious made luminous: the psyche’s nocturnal knowing, visible but oblique. Dreams of the moon often arrive at inflection points in a woman’s cycle, or at times when intuitive rather than rational knowing is being asked of the dreamer (regardless of gender). The phase matters: new moon speaks of beginnings; full moon, emotional fullness; waning, release. A blood moon is rarer and classically arresting — a dream to write down at once.
