Planetary Correspondence
Day: Monday

Planetary Name: In English: Moon | In Greek: Mene | In Hebrew: Levanah
Planetary Profile: Intense, passionate yet cold and changeful. Glamor and dreaming, sudden adventure, childlike wonder and delight. This sphere has an affinity with the fluctuating tides of the ocean, which the Moon governs, and to the ever-varying waves. The impulse of the moment, the work of caprice, the transient pleasure are typical manifestations of the Moon force; but there is also a strong cleansing and purificatory aspect. Further, the dreams of the Moon sphere are the potential realities of Earth.
