I was reading the threads given about my question regarding Saturn and the moon and ego.
As far as I can understand, the moon is the lens chosen by the soul to reflect itself (scale: ocean to a wave)
The moon is the person we are within our self. Our inner world. Who we are when we are alone. It represents the “I am” (who we feel we are inside of ourselves).
I’m assuming since it correlates to emotions, that our emotional body also adds to the feeling of who we are.
I keep coming back to the same question about the sun. And I’ve read the forum in regards to the sun but for some reason it doesn’t click.
Self actualization to me is actualizing the self. As in solidifying who we are. I thought the sun was who we are but now I see that the moon is (truly the soul,, but I’m trying to stick to the more conscious part of us). Is the sun the part that solidifies who we feel we are (moon) and helps us project that image? Is there a thread that goes as deep into the sun as the threads given on the moon? I always get stuck on the sun.
Also everything I read on the moon makes me think of mars. How the soul (Pluto) gets physically projected as mars (maybe I misunderstood??)
My assumption is that Pluto (soul) gets fractured into a multitude of these lenses (each planet/house/sign) and moon/4/cancer is who we are inside, more specifically who we feel (emotions) we are inside and mars is more our instinctual nature. How we act who we are based on our instincts
Couple more questions:
- is there a part of the chart that represents the projection of who are into the physical world? Is that the persona or descendant? Or is it MC?
Is there a reason why the sun as a skipped step seems vastly diff than the other skipped steps? Why is a sun the potential to make a skipped step while the others are something relative to the past.
There’s something that happens within us when who are (moon) isn’t acceptable in society. Sometimes we fake the projection to fit in but sometimes we repress/suppress that person and become someone else. Sometimes this new person gets distorted as well. There seem to be layers to the ego (some would call these parts a shadow).. is there anything explaining this in EA?
Thank you again for the moon explanations! It really took me on a rabbit hole but I think I’m getting it.. just a lot of questions come up in the process

Thanks for writing that Jordyn! I posted back on my previous thread. I think it’ll be helpful if I say my understanding out loud instead of only asking questions. Maybe then someone can catch where I go wrong or if I’m on the right path. I’m working on my clarity in communication.
