MOON  - Sovereign mistress of true melancholy W.S. 
Essence: growth






Statistics:
Orbit: 384,400 km from Earth
Diameter: 3476 km
Mass: 7.35e22 kg
The Moon's rotation period is synchronous with its revolution period around the Earth. Therefore the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth.

Mythology:
Luna to the Romans, Selene and Artemis by the Greeks. Phoebe, Diana, Artemis, Luna, Serenity, Usagi, Serena are the names of women connected with the moon. Known since prehistoric times. It is the second brightest object in the sky after the Sun. Orbits around Earth every 29.5 days (709 hours). 

Composition:
The Moon has almost no atmosphere, because of its weak gravity. All types of gas will escape from its surface. The surface temperature fluctuates from roughly + 300° F during the 2-week daytime to -270 F during the 2-week night. This is because there is not enough atmosphere to keep the Moon warm at night, nor protect it from the Sun's rays in the daytime.

Polarity:
First polarity: Saturn - Moon with Sun as the Middle
Saturn, as the furthest planet from Earth opens up into the Cosmos and the world of star spirituality. The Moon, as the closest heavenly body to Erath, reflects Ether close to Earth.

Spiritual aspects:
According to Steiner the Moon associates with heredity, reproduction and growth. Moon forces are active in cell division and propagation. 
In the body the Moon acts on the skin, the bladder and the reproductive organs. These forces come to rest in the brain.
Planting by the Moon phases is a significant component in BD farming. The Moon influences cell division and growth. Preparation 505 (Oak Bark) represents the Moon forces. It consists of organic limestone that has been prepared in an animal skull (seat of the brain) und kept stored under water for a period.
