The Moon, Your Mother and Food

The Moon, Your Mother and Food

Author: Alison Price   –   Published: September 2018   –   Revised: July 2024

The Moon, Your Mother and Food

The Moon in astrology serves as a significant indicator of how you experienced your mother and your relationship with food.

Your Moon sign offers insights into how your mother influenced your eating habits and emotional responses related to nourishment.

While a comprehensive analysis of your lunar chart is essential for a detailed understanding, starting with your Moon sign can provide valuable initial insights.

 

Your Moon Sign and Eating Habits

Your Moon sign represents your instinctive reactions and emotional needs, which are often shaped by early childhood experiences, especially those involving your mother.

The nurturing you received and the habits formed during those formative years play a crucial role in your relationship with food.

When you think back to your childhood, the comfort foods you reach for today are often those associated with early habits and the emotional patterning established by your nurturing environment.

These foods are linked to memories and feelings of comfort and security, which were instilled by your mother or primary caregiver.

Revisiting Childhood Memories

Imagine sitting at the kitchen table as a child.

Try to recall the sounds, smells, and feelings from those moments.

Perhaps you can still hear your mother’s voice, reminding you to eat your vegetables, or the aroma of a favorite dish she used to prepare.

These memories are not just nostalgic; they are integral to understanding your emotional connection to food.

Analyzing the Lunar Complex

While your Moon sign provides an initial understanding, a full analysis of the lunar complex in your natal chart is necessary to uncover deeper insights.

This includes examining aspects, house placement, and other factors that influence how your emotional needs and eating habits were shaped.

By reflecting on these early experiences and exploring your Moon sign, you can gain a better understanding of your current relationship with food and how it ties back to your childhood and your mother’s influence.

This awareness can help you make more conscious choices about your eating habits and emotional responses, leading to a more balanced and nurturing relationship with food.

Moon Signs: A Mother’s Influence on Eating Habits

Moon in Aries Mother

“Eat it while it’s hot,” she commands as she places a sizzling plate in front of you.

Her fiery energy infuses meals with urgency and a sense of immediacy, encouraging you to enjoy the moment and not let anything go to waste.

Moon in Taurus Mother

“Don’t gulp your meal. Take your time and taste the food,” she advises.

Her nurturing revolves around savoring and appreciating each bite, creating a slow and deliberate eating experience that emphasizes quality over quantity.

 

Moon in Gemini Mother

“Hurry up and finish your dinner, I want the table for our jigsaw puzzle,” she says, drumming her fingers.

Her multi-tasking nature often leads to meals being a quick affair, making way for the next intellectual or social activity.

Moon in Cancer Mother

“I prepared your favorite recipe, so when you eat it, it will make me feel good,” she murmurs, patting your hand.

Her emotional connection to food is strong, and she finds joy in nurturing through homemade comfort meals that evoke feelings of security and love.

Moon in Leo Mother

“I have created yet another culinary masterpiece in my kitchen. I have put my heart into the preparation of your meal. I hope you appreciate it. Eat up,” she declares dramatically.

Her meals are grand expressions of her love, and she seeks recognition and appreciation for her efforts in the kitchen.

Moon in Virgo Mother

“Everything in this meal is healthy, so clean your plate,” she insists, meticulously checking a food values label.

Her attention to detail ensures that meals are nutritious and balanced, promoting a disciplined approach to eating.

Moon in Libra Mother

“I’ll make a deal with you: If you eat your veggies, we can have cake,” she proposes, sitting opposite you.

Her balanced approach to meals often includes negotiations and compromises, creating a harmonious dining experience.

Moon in Scorpio Mother

“Don’t waste food, people in the world are dying of starvation. Eat up,” she says, watching you closely.

Her intensity and awareness of deeper issues translate into a no-nonsense attitude towards meals and a strong emphasis on not wasting food.

Moon in Sagittarius Mother

“I’m trying a new-fangled recipe, what do you think? Oh, please have some more, I made plenty.

In fact, there is enough so I can take what’s left to the big hall meeting later tonight,” she exclaims enthusiastically.

Her adventurous spirit shines through in her culinary experiments and generosity.

Moon in Capricorn Mother

“I’m tired of cooking you the same old meals every day, but tradition is tradition, so eat what I say.

I am your mother (and therefore the food authority),” she states firmly.

Her adherence to tradition and authority makes meals a structured and predictable affair.

Moon in Aquarius Mother

“I have to dash out to my book club, but you can find something to eat, can’t you?

There is cold pizza in the fridge,” she says, standing at the door.

Her unconventional and independent nature often leads to a more laissez-faire approach to meals, encouraging self-sufficiency.

Moon in Pisces Mother

“I have had to sacrifice to provide this meal. If you don’t eat it, I will be upset,” she softly says.

“But, I fed you only yesterday!”

Her empathetic and sometimes sacrificial approach to nurturing can make meals a deeply emotional experience, often tied to her own feelings of sacrifice and care.

Solar Eclipse Experience from Vancouver with Alison Price – August 21, 2017

Solar Eclipse Experience from Vancouver with Alison Price – August 21, 2017

by Alison Price

My Eclipse Timeline

9:00am

I left home and made my way to the Vancouver Art Gallery plaza and Robson Square in the heart of Vancouver.

I found a spot on the steps high up where the early birds had gathered. You know those eclipse watchers that were there before me.

 

9:10am

With my super eclipse shades, I began to watch the eclipse and the Moon’s limb slowly crept over the disk of the Sun. Very exciting.

The guy next to me was photographing with a very expensive looking camera. Two young students about aged 19 sat down with two plates of bacon, fried eggs, and toast from the food truck nearby. They proceeded to tuck in and wolf the lot down.

9:50am

The Moon’s limb reached the center point of the Sun’s disk easing in from the right.

So far it has been a bright and sunny summer’s day in the city. The sky was blue and virtually cloud-free, so perfect eclipse viewing weather. By now it is still very hot and with a slight breeze.

10:00am

The Moon is now almost two-thirds over the Sun. Is it getting cooler? I believe it may be.

The crowd has grown as more people gather on the steps.

Many are using the pinpoint viewing method of projecting the eclipse onto a card or the back wall.

The excitement was getting palpable.

I tried to take a photo with my eclipse glasses but the shot is a very blurry orange blob. Clearly, I am not a great photographer.

Trying to take a photo through my eclipse shades with my iPhone camera.

 

10:05am

Feeling a bit cooler now. Lots of people on the steps. The excitement is stronger as the conversations flow amongst the strangers who have come together at this special moment in time. Keen eclipse they exchange opinions on the best way to view the eclipse.

Keen eclipse watchers exchange opinions on the best way to view the eclipse.

The orange blurry blob is the eclipse.

10:20am

We are now at maximum coverage for Vancouver at around 78%. It seems strange how the Moon is moving from the right to the left. Now it is as total as it gets and it is definitely cooler now. The crowd is at full capacity on the steps now.

At the maximum the Moon seems to be moving off towards the bottom of the Sun as the thin crescent of the Sun still glares through the light is still strong but not the heat. The shadows seem even longer but how can that be?

At the moment of maximum, the crowd cheers and yells and everyone is smiling. What a super community here in Vancouver.

I am so happy I chose this spot to view the eclipse. The Sun now look orange and nearly red through my super cool shades.

People start to share their viewing screens and some let the flood of lawyers from the courts nearby to see. I cannot tell you the community support and camaraderie here on the steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery Plaza.

This is truly a special place to live. I am grateful that my husband brought us here over five years ago.

What teh Sun looks like at greatest eclipse. Still lots of light but a little cooler.

 

The last solar eclipse I saw was in Phalaborwa on the Tropic of Capricorn at latitude 23S in the southern hemisphere. This solar eclipse is being watched on the forty-ninth parallel at latitude 49N on the Pacific West Coast of Canada.

Where will I see my next solar eclipse? Who knows but I will look in Solar Fire and find one close by or one that I can comfortably travel to.

My notes that were taken on location in Vancouver.

I’ll definitely see you the next eclipse and I may even have special Starzology eclipse shades for you as well in my favourite cantaloupe colour.
