Moon Transits Through the Houses

The moon brings us a sense of security in the night, making us feel protected or watched over.  As it illuminates the dark sky it can bring out our emotional or sensitive side, while providing us with a sense of comfort. Transits although are a short duration of approximately 2 1/2 days in each sign, reflect our intimate self, our security needs and where we can expect to see our daily emotional variations, sometimes bringing comfort to the house it touches and other times, bringing emotional worry of not having our security needs met.
