The Moon, our celestial neighbor, is quite the speedy traveler. It zips through all twelve zodiac signs in about 28 days. This means you’ll experience a Moon conjunct Moon transit approximately once a month, and it may last for a few hours. During this time, you might feel like your feelings are cranked up to eleven.
During this transit, it’s all about nurturing yourself. Your need for comfort and security is at an all-time high. Maybe you’ll find yourself craving your favorite childhood snack or binge-watching that comforting TV show for the umpteenth time.
You can feel like you’re wearing your heart on your sleeve, with your feelings amplified and impossible to ignore. You might find yourself more sensitive than usual, picking up on the slightest changes in mood around you.
My Experience
Every time the transit Moon conjuncts my natal Moon, I get super emotional. Normally, I don’t really cry at movies or anything sad, but during this time, I definitely will. Almost all my planets are in air signs, so I’m usually pretty levelheaded. But when this transit happens, I turn on the waterworks. It doesn’t even matter what it is, a sad video, something funny on tiktok, a story – it’s going to make me cry. I’ve even teared up over a memory before. So, if you start feeling extra sensitive when the moon is in that spot, don’t be surprised. That lunar energy will have you reaching for the tissues, too.
During This Transit, Don’t Be Surprised If You:
- feel like crying for no real reason
- feel like little things could really get to you and make you sensitive
- want to reach out to your mom or another important woman in your life
- get nostalgic and find yourself thinking about memories and past experiences a lot
- find your mood changing quickly
- think about pregnancy or motherhood
Family Matters
Your connection with family, especially mom figures, might feel stronger than usual right now. This is a great time to reach out and reconnect with loved ones. You never know – you might end up learning some hidden family secrets or rediscovering fond memories from the past. Just remember, this transit doesn’t last forever so carpe diem and make those calls sooner rather than later.
Heightened Intuition
During this time, your gut feelings are on point. You’ll likely experience a stronger connection to your inner voice, making it easier to trust your instincts. Don’t be surprised if you suddenly have an urge to call a friend who, as it turns out, really needed to hear from you.
Nostalgia And Reflection
This transit often brings a wave of nostalgia. You might find yourself reminiscing about the past, flipping through old photo albums, or craving your favorite childhood comfort food.
It’s also a great time for looking inside yourself. Where did I come from? What experiences really shaped me into who I am today? It’s cool to remember what made you, you.
And if there’s something from the past you need to work out, family you need to make amends with, this is the moment. The moon is shining in a way that opens hearts and helps bury old hatchets.
Emotional Vulnerability: What To Avoid
When the Moon forms a conjunction with your natal Moon, it’s probably best to avoid any major decisions. Your emotions will be running high during this time, and as we all know emotions don’t always make for the clearest thinking. So I’d hold off on big investments, purchases you just really want in the moment. Chances are if you make an important choice now, you may regret it later once things level out. My advice? Revisit any big plans once you’re feeling more even-keeled.
Final Notes
The next time you find yourself feeling a little extra moody or nostalgic for no real reason, it might be worth checking what the planets are up to. It could explain why all of a sudden you just really want to give your mom a call or binge the shows you loved as a kid. The good news is that whatever cosmic stuff is going on is only temporary.
My advice would be to lean into those feelings instead of fighting them. Use it as an opportunity to take some time for yourself – run a nice bath, cook your favorite comfort food..Who knows, maybe while you’re letting your mind wander you’ll remember something fun from the past or gain new insight about yourself.
