 The
Moon, the handmaid of the Lord, is the closet planet to the earth. She
is the second luminary (light) and her role is to reflect the truth of
the Sun. She travels approximately 13deg11 per month, her speed is
always constant, and she has no light of her own. She rules the seventh
house of significant and insignificant others, which also includes open
enemies or opponents.
