Wisdom of Astrology 18 – Sun Sign and Moon Sign 占星的智慧 18 – 太阳与月亮星座

Have you ever wondered very often the descriptions of our Sun signs do not fit into what we see of ourselves and what others see us? Someone’s friends often said that she has the characters of Taurus but her Sun sign is Aries. Yes, her Sun sign is Aries but her Moon sign is Taurus! You will know why.

According to Greek mythology, both Apollo(Sun) and Artemis(Moon) are twin siblings. They were out-of-wedlock children of Zeus(Jupiter) and Leto. Hera, the legitimate wife of Zeus, forbad anyone to help in the delivery of Apollo. The angry and jealous Hera sent Leto out to a far, far away place. There, Artemis was born first and she helped to deliver Apollo later on. So, accordingly, it is the Moon that came first before the Sun!

Our characters, behaviours, attitudes and habitual patterns are brought on from the past at the moment of our birth. All of us are affected by our emotions and feelings. This is represented by our Moon sign which reflects our emotional state and feelings.

As Sun was born later than the Moon, it suggests that it is the part of us which is not so developed and awaiting us to develop as we go along in our life. Normally, we manifest the negative attributes of our Sun sign before 30 years of age. After we have gone through the ‘toil of life’, we slowly realize the positive attributes of our Sun sign. However, some may not even manifest this in this life.

In the mythology, Moon helped to deliver the Sun, implying that we could make use of our Moon signs to support, nurture and enhance our Sun signs.

My Sun sign is Cancer and Moon sign is Virgo, which is the ruler of my Sun sign. I often manifest the Virgo tendency of being critical of myself and quite perfectionistic. I like to follow routine, meticulous and diligent in my work, making sure as little flaws as possible.

Whereas, my mission and vision of this life is to develop the character of love, care and nurturance and beware of my emotional sensitivities. Hence, somehow, I chose to become a doctor. This job gives me an opportunity to make use of the Virgoan capability to serve through care and nurturance.

你是否感觉到如果我们以太阳星座来描述我们的性格和态度，它好像不太恰当。一位个案的朋友经常形容她的性格比较像金牛，但是她的太阳星座却是牡羊。原来她的月亮星座是金牛！阅了以下的希腊神话故事，你就会有所了解。

Apollo（太阳）与 Artemis（月亮）是孪生姐弟。他们是Zeus（木星）与Leto 的私生子。Zeus的发妻Hera 阻止所有助产士接生，而把Leto驱逐到很远很远的一个岛屿。在哪里，Artemis先出世，然后她帮助妈妈把Apollo接生出来了。这就是为什么月亮星座比太阳星座要优先显突的原因。

我们的性格、行为、态度与惯性是与生俱来的。我们每个人都被我们的情绪和感受牵着走。月亮星座就是反映我们这情绪状态与感受。

既然太阳比较迟些出世，它意味着这部分是我们还没那么发展，等待我在今世去揭发它的潜能。通常在30岁之前，多数展现太阳星座的负面趋向。经过岁月的磨练，慢慢的我们就展现太阳星座的正面特质。然而，一些人甚至一世人都展现不出来他们的太阳星座。

在神话里，月亮帮助太阳接生，意味着我们可以运用月亮星座来扶持、培育及提升我们的太阳星座。

我的太阳星座是巨蟹，月亮星座是处女，同时月亮也是我的太阳星座的主宰行星。我经常展现处女的趋向，如自我批判与完美主义。我善于根据常规、仔细与勤奋，做事尽量减少缺陷。我的太阳星座巨蟹，意味着我的展望与任务，就是发展爱、关照与滋养的特质。同时也要经常觉察我内在情绪的敏感度。所以，冥冥中我选择当医生，这行业让我有个平台，来运用我月亮处女服务的特质，来关照与滋养他人。
