- Energy 18 in the Destiny Matrix corresponds to The Moon and is considered the main arcana of magical ability.
- A person with energy 18 attracts into their life whatever they think about, and bad thoughts come true for them as easily as good ones.
- The strength and wellbeing of a person with energy 18 depend on the lunar cycles: their potential grows with the waxing Moon, falls with the waning Moon and peaks at the full moon.
- Money comes to a person with energy 18 through magic and creativity.
- In its minus, energy 18 shows up as fears, phobias, depression, living in illusions and escaping reality through addictions.
The eighteenth energy in the Destiny Matrix corresponds to The Moon. It is the energy of secrets, of magic and of freedom from fear. The Moon belongs to the yin principle, it is ruled by water, and it draws everything towards itself. If The Sun stands for active movement, The Moon governs creative imagination: it is thoughtful, it paints images and it gathers energy into a single point.
The Moon is called the strongest "magnet". People with this energy have the most powerful ability to manifest: whatever they think about comes into their lives. Good and bad thoughts come true with equal ease, and whatever is sent out to the Universe returns multiplied. Along with this gift comes a host of fears and phobias, and they keep coming true until the person makes an effort of will and brings the energy into its plus.
The eighteenth arcana is considered the main arcana of magical ability. The Moon rules magic, ritual and ceremony. This magical power is given for the common good: if you use it only for personal gain, the abilities narrow or become blocked. Magic is a body of knowledge together with the skill to use it, and the deeper a person understands esoteric teaching, the less frightening it becomes.
For a person with energy 18, the line between genius and madness is very thin. This arcana gives true wizardry and great achievements in magic, yet it can also turn a person into a murderer or a suicide. The shift from one extreme to the other is almost impossible to catch, so the person or those close to them have to keep watch over it. The person chooses genius or schizophrenia themselves, and the sooner they understand this, the lower the risk of losing their mind or harming themselves or someone else.
If energy 18 sits in the karmic tail, the person practised black magic in a past life. The abilities were already given to them and were misused, so this life becomes a "resit": a chance to learn how esoteric knowledge and life itself work, and not to repeat the old mistakes. The soul gathers strength to reach a new level in this incarnation. The main thing for this energy is to find your own path, one you would be happy to walk even without a final destination.
- Mystery and allure: to others you are an unread book, and the depth of your inner world is captivating.
- The strongest ability to manifest of all the energies: you attract whatever your thoughts are focused on.
- Well-developed intuition, clairvoyance and clairsentience. You sense events before they happen and spot deception in advance.
- Prophetic dreams, lucid dreaming, astral travel. Relatives who have passed away may come to you in dreams.
- The abilities of a medium and a telepath, a leaning towards hypnosis, skill with cards and runes for visualisation.
- Vivid imagination, thinking in images, a good memory, a natural gift for writing, artistry and a talent for transformation.
- A sensitive soul: you understand people well, feel deeply and take everything to heart.
- Strong faith in Higher Powers and miracles, a bond with heavenly protectors.
- The ability to keep your own and other people's secrets and to adapt to any situation.
- Versatility: you can express yourself in many fields and you create beauty around you.
- The "dark Moon" state: thoughts and imagination slide into the negative, and bad things come true as easily as good ones.
- Fears, phobias and doubts about literally everything, insecurity and low self-esteem. Doubt brings your plans to a halt.
- Depression, apathy, gloom, pessimism. Meaning, desires and plans disappear, and you lose the will to live.
- Living in illusions and self-deception: you refuse to see the obvious, pretend all is well in your relationship, take out loans and believe you are spending your own money.
- Escaping reality through alcohol, drugs, games and food, and not wanting to deal with real people.
- Lies, two-facedness, masks, gossip, intrigue, betrayal, fraud, manipulation, ties to criminal circles.
- A pull towards black magic and trying to solve problems with rituals instead of changing your own thoughts.
- Mood swings: irritability, a quick temper, capriciousness, unpredictability, sentimentality.
- Envy, jealousy, holding grudges, suspicion, timidity, a lack of shame and conscience.
- "Self-inflicted evil eye", the influence of the black Moon (Lilith), a tendency to attract the evil eye and curses, anxiety, mania, paranoia, nightmares.
In different points of the chart
The same energy is read differently depending on where it stands.
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.
- Watch your thoughts and what you surround yourself with. Think about what you want to attract and clear your mind of negative thoughts and images.
- Write down your goals in detail and visualise them: a vision board, collages and visualisation techniques all work. Thank the Universe and the Higher Powers for their support, and talk to them through signs.
- Spend more time near water, cleanse and heal your body with water, drink purified water and make sure your body gets enough of it.
- Live by the lunar cycles. At the full moon, hold rituals for abundance, unconditional love and healing for yourself and for all people. There is another view too: you need no extra rituals or ceremonies, because your thoughts are your magic wand.
- Write down your dreams as soon as you wake, with the date and time, so you learn to read their language and trust your intuition. Learn lucid dreaming and healing in your sleep.
- Find your fears and work through them, and look at yourself objectively. When fear appears, act and keep going.
- Live in the present moment: that is where the "magic key" to your life lies. Tell what matters from what does not, and choose reality over fantasy.
- Grow creatively and spiritually, train your body, do not get attached to material things. Learn to accept, forgive and trust, tell the truth and wish everyone well, always.
