The moon is Cancer's sole ruler, a water sign. Alchemy teaches that the moon acts on bodily fluids, especially blood and water. It also affects the digestive system and oversees the regulatory and eliminative processes of the body. The digestive system is closely linked to emotions and intuition.
 
The Spiritual energies associated with the moon aid with psychic knowledge, dream work, fertility, past life recall, childbirth, imagination and the subconscious.
 
Moon deities worldwide have also bear e these qualities. one of these diety is Khonsu, the Egyptian god of the moon and time. He is also depicted as a healer, even if his story is much more complicated. Of all the moon deities, Khonsu spoke to me the most hence the name.
