Moon in The Houses

The moon is a satellite that represents emotion, memories, introspection/reflection, perception, nurture, growth, and imagination in astrology. Throughout the website we learn about the moon signs and how it influences our own personal writing style and expression. However, the moon is not only influenced by the signs, but also it is influenced how the position it sits in the houses.  The houses are shown on a natal chart, divided into 12 parts that represent different parts of our life on earth.  The houses represent our experiences here on earth, therefore the moon's position will represent how we channel our emotions and what is more important to us emotionally. When it comes to writing a story, the houses will influence the things we tend to write about, which is usually in some way inspired from our personal life.
