Planet: the Moon Sign: Cancer Day: Monday

Moons are celestial globes who do not have their own orbit, but who circle around a planet. Therefore the symbolic meaning of the Moon is receptivity, reaction and reflection (the Moon mirrors the sun-light, and a mirror is a glass plate with a thin silver layer!) And of course we know that the Moon has monthly phases, and that her magnetism is related to the rhythms of ebb- and flood-tide. That's why the Moon is further related to femininity, motherliness, cycles and (changeable) emotions. Cancers are prudent and emotional people with a strong fantasy and a strong sense of family. Medical astrology places these subjects under rulership of the Moon: female reproductive organs, menstruation, the breasts, hormonal imbalances, the stomach and the watery body-fluids like slime, tears and digestive secretions.

Magickal use of silver:

• Use the metal or the color silver in rituals, spells or talismans concerning Moon-goddesses, the female force, cycles, emotional and/or hormonal imbalances, reflecting or neutralizing negativity, dreams and intuition, psychic work and psychic abilities.
• Wear silver jewelry to improve fertility, emotional and hormonal stability.
• Silver improves the assimilation of food; that's why young children (in their Moon-years) are traditionally given a silver fork and spoon to eat with.
• Drink water that is charged during 6 to 24 hours with the energies of silver objects
