Arcana 18 in the Destiny Matrix: The Moon

18 · In the day of birth · point A

With energy 18 in your birth day, you are the strongest "magnet": whatever your thoughts focus on comes into your life. You are given deep intuition, high sensitivity and mystical talents. The flip side of this energy is mood swings, fears and self-doubt.

If you think about success, success is what comes to you. You pick up subtle energy signals and sense coming events. Your abilities range from clairvoyance to lucid dreaming, and you have prophetic dreams. You have a gift for acting and a talent for transformation. When you realise your bond with the energies of the Moon, you move beyond ordinary perception, feel your own power and uniqueness, and this gives you self-confidence.

This energy has a dark side. If you focus on the negative, for example if you fear failure in your personal relationships, that is exactly what becomes your reality. Fear works like a request sent to the Universe: constant thoughts about bad things draw unwanted events to you, even when you do not want them at all. This leads to a life of constant fear and frequent depression. Under the dark influence of the Moon, a person may retreat into a world of illusion through mental disorders, alcoholism or drug addiction, or start practising dark magic.

The Moon gives strong psychic abilities, but inner instability leaves you open to fear. In trying to meet other people's expectations, you may lie, pretend and hide your true feelings. In the minus, irritability and a quick temper appear, along with sentimentality, capriciousness, unpredictability and hypocrisy.

18 · In the month · point B

Energy 18 in the Guardian Angel point shows that your main blocks are tied to fear. In the minus, this means phobias, drama, heightened sensitivity and a habit of ignoring your intuition. You connect with the Higher Powers through psychology and esoteric study.

You need to develop empathy. People with this energy often become psychologists. It is important to learn to tell your dreams and illusions apart from reality.

Go into psychology and esoteric practice very carefully, slowly and step by step. An unprepared person can destroy themselves, their mind and their health. Beware of illusions and deception.

• Work through your phobias.
• Identify your negative thoughts and clear them from your mind.
• Develop your intuition, prophetic dreams and astral perception.

18 · In the year · point C

Energy 18 in your birth year gives heightened sensitivity that makes reality hard to bear. To avoid facing it, you tend to escape into a world of illusion, alcohol, drugs or dark magic. This holds enormous energy, and you need to learn to use it for good.

Depression, getting stuck in a world of illusion, and not wanting to deal with reality or people can trigger mental disorders, fears and phobias. Added to these are dishonesty, two-facedness, a negative outlook and apathy.

The dark sides of the Moon turn into positive energy when you work on yourself and actively cooperate with the Universe. Your fears and weaknesses can become a source of inner strength.

• Focus on the bright side of life.
• Make a vision board and visualise your goals every day.
• Thank the Universe.
• Do not be afraid to face your fears and weaknesses.

18 · In the bottom corner · point D

The karmic task of energy 18 is to open up your femininity, care for children and the family hearth, and take responsibility for your actions. Karma shows up as repeating events: losing yourself, doubts, fears, the lure of dark magic and programming yourself for problems.

The dark Moon breeds gloomy thoughts and an illusory view of reality. This leads to depression, alienation from the world and from people, mental disorders, lies and fixation on the negative. There is a risk of retreating into an imaginary world, sinking into apathy, becoming addicted to alcohol or drugs, or turning to dark magic.

The key lies in working on yourself: the negative sides of the energy need to be turned into a creative force. What helps is a good connection with your subconscious, control over your imagination, and freedom from illusions and self-deception. It is important to know how to use feminine energy, whatever your gender.

Awareness in the present matters. Visualise positive events both in your thoughts and in your actions.

• Identify and work through your deepest fears, and develop your intuition.
• Study the law of attraction: like attracts like. Clear your mind of negative thoughts and follow the phases of the Moon.
• Set specific goals and plan how to reach them, and tell what matters from what does not.
• Learn trust and honesty in relationships, look after your home and fill it with comfort and beauty.

18 · In the centre · comfort zone

With energy 18 in the centre of your matrix, you draw strength from intuition, mysticism, faith in miracles and magic. You need comfort, creative expression, family, and the study of psychology and the psychic. Others see you as mysterious, alluring and charming.

You love an atmosphere of romance and home. Your comfort zone looks like this: a fireplace, an elegant dinner at a beautifully laid table, lots of candles, romantic music, a lovely interior with lamps, figurines and paintings.

You need time alone in the bath with a glass of wine, or a meal shared for two. In the minus, you can be capricious and hysterical and draw attention to yourself with extravagance.

You dream of your own home and hearth, but once you have it, you may start to destroy what you have built. You need people's support: without it you lose heart and need constant motivation.

Entry to the love line

Energy 18 at the entry to the relationship channel, in its plus, gives you the ability to live in the here and now and build harmonious relationships in the real world. In its minus, you escape reality, are full of fears and doubts, and often feel low.

In the plus, you think not only about yourself but also about other people's needs. In the minus, you try to change everyone and everything to fit the picture that has formed in your head.

Love line

Energy 18 in the relationship channel describes your partner. This is an unusual, deep person who loves everything out of the ordinary. In the plus, they are incredibly attractive and romantic; in the minus, suspicious and secretive.

With a partner in the plus, you feel as if you are in a scene from a romance series, and you feel "butterflies in your stomach" even at a distance. In the minus, they may deceive you and throw dust in your eyes. With them you constantly feel insecure and sense a catch.

Balance point

Energy 18 in the balance point points to fears and illusions that hold you back. Your task here is to learn to live in the here and now and not escape reality.

A separate theme of this point is relationships. They can be destroyed by jealousy and imagined situations. That is why it matters to surround yourself with positive thoughts and events.

Entry to the money line

Energy 18 at the entry to the money channel shows that your financial flow is blocked by fears, doubts and a lack of faith in your own strength. You came into this world to create deep sacred knowledge. You need to stop doubting your abilities and stop blocking yourself.

In the minus, this shows up as escaping reality into games, TV series and alcohol, fixation on the negative, depression, apathy and low self-esteem.

Money line

With energy 18 in the money channel, money comes through magic and creativity. You make wishes come true through visualisation, so a financial flow you picture clearly becomes real. It is important not to fear money and to clear away all your fears.

Your money task is to develop your creativity. You can bring a visual, auditory and kinaesthetic image to life. Negative wishes can come true too: the Moon rises at night, and some fears materialise. Be careful with what you say, how you programme yourself and your personal blocks.

Talent zone

Energy 18 in the talent zone gives the ability to draw into your life whatever your attention is focused on, well-developed intuition, artistry and gifts in many different fields. You are inspired by esoteric knowledge and everything unknown. Harmony comes through study and creativity.

You sense another person's state of mind. You have a gift for magic, wizardry, psychology, medicine, folk healing, healing, clairvoyance and prophetic dreams. You can see and read the signs of fate, and you have a bond with the Higher Powers. Unusual knowledge opens up to you: philosophical and psychic.

Purpose

Energy 18 in your purpose sets the task of studying unusual information, grasping new things not open to everyone, growing spiritually and bringing this to many people. Another side of your mission is to surround those close to you with attention, care and warmth.

In the third, spiritual purpose, energy 18 leads to creating new movements or a new faith. If you do not study the unusual and share it with people, life fills with fears, apathy, depression and a wish to escape reality.

Family task

Energy 18 in your ancestral lines means your ancestors had magical abilities and a gift for healing. Fears and doubts, loneliness and depression run in the family. The ancestral task is to heal the fears, develop magical abilities and become a magician or a healer.

There may have been people in the family with mental disorders who used their power to do harm. When energy 18 sits in the upper ancestral triangles, magical abilities are passed down the line. The ancestral programme in its minus includes many fears with phobias, nightmares and excessive drama, fraud and deception, escape into a world of illusion, and living in fantasies and dreams. Magical abilities and healing remain unworked and blocked.

Parent and child karma

Energy 18 in the parent-child channel points to fears passed between parents and children. Your parents may have unknowingly made you anxious, thought negatively and not believed in a good outcome. In such a family, the parents or the child have magical abilities. The task of these relationships is to let go of fears, phobias, illusions and indecision.

Parents may impose their negative, limiting views on the child, pass on their own anxiety and voice their unconscious fears out loud. The grown child is full of fears and cannot see the beauty around them. They may sink into apathy and depression and escape into a made-up reality: games, TV series.

Arcana of a year of life

A year under energy 18 may bring turning inwards, studying psychology and working with your fears.

During this period you explore something unusual: numerology, astrology and similar fields.

In a child

A child with energy 18 is very sensitive and depends on the lunar cycles. They can attract absolutely anything they want. At the same time, they may have many fears and doubts about their own abilities.

These children can cry a lot. They may shut themselves away in their own world and escape reality, getting lost in endless TV series and computer games.
