Form and vibration
The Moon is the principle of form. From physics, we know that forms arise from vibrations. Sand on an iron surface that is set into vibration by a violin bow, will arrange itself into the orderly patterns of geometrical figures.
We can now understand that the Moon may be regarded as a sensitive membrane receiving vibrations, transforming them and then passing them on to a medium where these vibrations can take shape.
So on the one hand, the Moon functions as a membrane that is set into vibration – or rather, that allows itself to be set into vibration to the extent that it resonates with it. In other words, the Moon’s own sensitivity and attunement as a receptor play a role here.
On the other hand, she also models matter and converts its vibration into form. So her shaping and organizing capacities also come into play.
Attunement
Each of these two capacities serves its own purpose and is not always aligned with the other. Sensitive people are often vulnerable, and vice versa: people who have a firm grip on concrete forms are not always sensitive to subtleties. The conscious focus of the (rotating) Self offers an opportunity to give attention to the development of both. This attunement of the Moon can be of vital importance for our overall psycho-physiological functioning.
Blueprint
So first of all, the Moon depicts and molds. She gives form to energy charges that are present either within ourselves or in our environment. In the latter case, the Moon can actually imprint images from our environment onto us, such as from the atmosphere in a family or group. Such images can distort our perception or even blind us (just as the Moon herself, as we saw before).
In this sense, energetic images can be considered to be charges that have a formative effect.
In the horoscope chart, we can see this on the plane of the Prime Vertical (8.1 and 9.1) where our blueprint is being depicted. We already referred to this as a Lunar plane. On this plane, we can read the images that will shape the incoming vibrations in ourselves, providing a framework for our lives.
