Matriarchal Woman: A Powerful Moon

By astrologyplace December 2, 2015

Irma P Hall is an actress who is most known for portraying matriarchal personalities, often as the principal female character and the head of the home. The definition of a matriarch is a woman who is in charge of her family, clan, or tribe. It may also refer to a highly valued female who has a key position at the heart of the organisation. In this domain, there is much mention of a blood line, ancestry, and lineage, and it is possible to be in possession of a kindred spirit, especially when talking about one’s own family. The actress has scored roles such as Big Mama Joseph in Soul Food and has also played motherly roles in A Family Thing and Lady Killers, among other projects. There is some stereotyping going on in Irma’s horoscope since the Moon is in its own sign of Cancer (a powerful placement), and it is accompanied by Mercury, Venus, and Pluto, all of whom are in the crab constellation. In addition, Jupiter, the greatest planet in the solar system, is housed in the fourth house, which corresponds to the natural sphere of this celestial body.

Mothers and Matriarchy is the title of a Liz Greene seminar on the Moon, in which the author illustrates how family life has cycles similar to those of the Moon, referring to the lunar body as primarily female and organic, reflecting the processes of conception, pregnancy, birth, puberty, maturation, ageing, and death. When the stability of the collective is endangered, matriarchal consciousness places a high value on family and tribe, which allows for the restriction or annihilation of individual expression to be justified. Absolutely, the Moon is always a family affair, and we are surrounded by members of the family who are our closest friends. Family may be traced back far further in time, and science is discovering new techniques to extract biological clues from our DNA, much like delving through a trunk in the attic. The lunar realm, on the other hand, is constantly preoccupied with our closest relatives. A certain type of person enjoys waxing lyrical about their family, often with a tint of nostalgia for times gone by. Whatever our sentiments regarding this place of residence, we all require a place to call home since it provides a reprieve from the stresses of life and a haven in a conflicted and intimidating world.

This is a movie that I have not seen yet. Apparently, the man is attempting to suffocate Mama with a pillow, as shown above in the photograph. It’s possible that this chart, which features a strong Moon, best expresses Liz Greene’s ideas.

“Many women are angered at having projected on them by men the darker lunar qualities of manipulativeness, treacherousness, unreliability, moodiness and emotional voracity. I have heard numerous men complain about how difficult it is to work with or discuss things objectively with women, because reasonableness and cooperation fly out of the window in the face of personal feelings. But these qualities will often be very pronounced in any person, male or female, where the Moon dominates the horoscope. You can begin to see what an extreme lunar consciousness is all about, which is why the lunar deities were seen not only as nourishers and child protectors, but also as child swallowers and castrators.” By Liz Greene The Luminaries

Pluto in Cancer may be a time of high emotional engagement, and those born during this time are particularly affected, since it is also a time when multiple generations of a family are living in the same house. The depression years were marked by a desperate need for survival, upheavals on an unprecedented scale, economic collapse, and a rallying cry to safeguard and defend our country against external threats. Tradition holds that women were the centre of society because of their unique life-giving abilities, and they were revered as priestesses of the great Goddess, according to myth.
