White Moon
The White Moon does not appear in every horoscope. Nevertheless, it exerts a tremendous influence on a person’s destiny, as it is connected with karma and major turning points in life.
What is the White Moon
The White Moon is a special concept in astrology. Astronomically, the White Moon corresponds to the perigee—the point on the Moon’s orbit where it comes closest to Earth. Unlike the regular Moon or Sun, the White Moon does not have its own House or Domicile; it does not rule any zodiac sign. It is believed that the White Moon visits each zodiac sign once every seven years. These visits are often fateful, permanently altering the usual course of events.
The White Moon is also known as Selena. Astrologers believe that Selena always carries a purely positive, bright, and benevolent impulse, which is why Earth seeks to draw it as close as possible, creating the perigee and minimizing the distance through gravitational pull. There is also the opposite phenomenon to perigee—apogee. When the Moon reaches apogee, it is at its farthest point from Earth. Therefore, in addition to the White Moon, astrologers distinguish the Black Moon. They call it Lilith, and it opposes Selena in every way. Together, they balance each other, offering a person two life paths—each under a different Moon.
The Role of the White Moon in a Person’s Destiny
Since Selena operates in seven-year cycles, every seven years of life we face a choice that will influence how future events unfold. The White Moon is closely linked to past lives and karma, so the Signs of Fate it sends can differ for each individual.
For those who care about the purity of their karma, Selena brings good fortune; for those burdened by dark karma, it offers chances to correct or atone for their situation. Happiness and peace during pivotal periods indicate that you are on the right path, while hardships and sorrow point to a strong negative program that may push you under Lilith’s influence. Those who align with the Black Moon may gain many earthly blessings without redeeming their sins, but eventually, their karma will grow darker. The Universe favors balance, and overly easy achievements often demand a much higher price later on.
Once every seven years, each of us can make a definitive choice in favor of Selena. Just as Earth draws positive energy from her, we can embrace only the best within ourselves. From an astrological perspective, Selena acts as a kind of guardian angel. Therefore, as you approach a fateful date, remember to reevaluate both your achievements and future goals.
Selena’s cycles begin at the age of seven—this is when a child starts making conscious choices and becomes responsible for harm caused to others. Subsequent turning points occur at ages 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56—and culminate at 63. It is believed that by this age, a person finally decides which Moon will guide their path. Up to this point, it is still not too late to make a radical life change—beyond it, such transformation becomes impossible from the standpoint of karmic laws.
We, for our part, wish you faith in yourselves. It is never too late to turn toward the light and dramatically improve your life. Use the laws of astrology and the Universe to enhance your life on the path of spiritual growth. Do not miss your next pivotal date—make every effort to achieve your goals.
