The Moon
that unfolds each month, their focus has been not so
much on the day-to-day process but rather on individual
snapshots—actual various lunar types—taken from the
overall process. And then, there are also books along
the lines of William Butler Yeats’, A Vision. This
extremely involved intellectual study attempts to deal
with concepts of anima and animus—the endless
process of psychological self-projection and its
resolution. Since this work is somewhat of a mental
challenge, analogous to a tongue-twister in speech, the
practical benefit of this kind of writing is questionable. In
this article we will not deal with these highly intellectual
approaches to the Moon, but instead, will take a quick
look at the how the Moon has been considered in
Western astrology.
