Your Sun and Moon in Depth

Your Sun and Moon in Depth applies this book's way of reading to your own chart. Sasportas says it takes about three years for a person to separate from the mother, and that what the heavens do to the Moon during those years shapes how a person later feels about closeness. The report looks at how the heavens touched your Sun and Moon in the first three years after your birth, with the dates calculated precisely by software, and then explains how this earliest experience connects with your Moon and with the bond between you and your mother. Greene's hero's journey is also brought to bear on your chart. Your Sun sign and the house your Sun is in show what kind of person you are to become and where you must invest yourself; the harmonious aspects and well-placed planets in your chart are your helpers along the way; and the progressed Moon and the nodes show where the calls of the coming years will lead. Like the book, this report reads only the two lights, the Sun and the Moon; the other planets and houses of the chart are outside its scope.

Greene urges her audience to spend some time looking back over the turning points of their lives in the light of the Sun–Moon cycle. Events are often unexpected anyway, she says, and as for the point of doing this:

Once you know what your Moon wants and where your Sun is heading, the next time you want to leave and cannot bear to go, you will be able to tell what each side is saying.
