Okay, so today I messed around with this “moon square Jupiter” thing in my astrology chart. I’ve been trying to get a better handle on my emotions and how they affect my decision-making, especially when it comes to, you know, overdoing things.
First, I pulled up my birth chart online. I already knew I had this aspect, but I wanted to see it visually. I use this free website, plugged in my birth info, and there it was – Moon in one sign, Jupiter in another, forming that harsh 90-degree angle.
Digging into the Meaning
Next, I started researching what this square actually means. I found a bunch of articles and forum posts. It seems like it’s all about emotional extremes. One minute I’m super optimistic and feeling on top of the world, the next I’m crashing down, feeling overwhelmed and insecure.
- Moon: This represents my emotions, my inner world, my needs.
- Jupiter: This is about expansion, abundance, sometimes excess.
- Square: This is a tense aspect, creating friction and challenges.
So, putting it all together, it’s like my emotions (Moon) get amplified and blown out of proportion (Jupiter) in a way that creates tension (square). Yeah, that sounds about right.
Tracking My Moods and Actions
I decided to keep a journal for a week, just jotting down how I was feeling throughout the day and any big decisions or actions I took. I wanted to see if I could catch these mood swings and over-the-top reactions in real-time.
For example, one day I felt this huge surge of energy and decided to sign up for three online courses, all at once! Later that evening, I felt completely drained and regretted committing to so much. Classic Moon square Jupiter, right?
Another time, I went on a bit of a shopping spree, buying a bunch of stuff I didn’t really need. I was feeling pretty down, and the shopping gave me a temporary high. But later, I felt guilty and anxious about the money I’d spent.
Trying to Find Balance
After a week of tracking, I started to see the pattern. It wasn’t pretty, but it was helpful. I realized I needed to find ways to ground myself when those big emotional waves hit. I’ve been trying a few simple things:
- Taking a few deep breaths before making any big decisions.
- Asking myself: “Do I really need this, or am I just feeling emotional?”
- Talking to a friend when I feel overwhelmed, instead of acting impulsively.
It’s definitely a work in progress, but I feel like I’m getting a little better at recognizing these patterns and managing them. It’s like my personal project.
