It is well known that the horoscope circle (radix) is divided into twelve fields and, with its houses and signs, taking into account the planetary influences in the natal chart, can provide information about the personality. The additional division into 28 lunar houses in the horoscope is less well known.
If the moon is in certain sections of the horoscope circle, this has an impact, both positively and negatively. The current position of the moon in a person’s transit horoscope always gives an experienced astrologer an indication of whether certain undertakings are promising or even have negative effects. The description of the moon houses is also important in the natal chart because the degrees in which the moon was at the time of birth can certainly provide indications of certain trends or inclinations in life.
