The Moon

For the Moon never beams without bringing me dreams

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee

And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee

EDGAR ALLAN POE

The Moon affects everything on Earth: animals, plants, the ocean’s tides, and ourselves. It is, of course, also a major factor in weather and atmospheric conditions, so there’s another connection. From an astrological point of view, the Moon’s realm is best understood in terms of basic emotional needs, habit patterns, bodily rhythms, and what makes us feel comfortable. The Moon in the sky illuminates what is naturally dark, the night. As shown by the sign the Moon occupied when we were born, inside ourselves the Moon represents our deepest emotional nature, and as such affects how we dream, how often we dream, and maybe how well we can remember our dreams.

For example, a Pisces Moon is the “dreamiest” of all the Moon signs. Edgar Allan Poe, just quoted, had the Moon in the sign of Pisces, as have many other poets who were fascinated with dreams. Poe wrote several poems dealing with dreams: “Dream-land,” “Dreams,” “A Dream within a Dream.” And he often used dreaming as a theme, as in these lines from “Ulalume—A Ballad”:

This is nothing but dreaming:

Let us on by this tremulous light!

Let us bathe in this crystalline light!

Its Sibyllic splendor is beaming

With Hope and in beauty to-night;

See! It flickers up the sky through the night!

Ah, we safely may trust to its gleaming,

And be sure it will lead us aright . . .

Since it flickers up to Heaven through the night.
