Working through Selena in the Natal Chart

Selena (the White Moon) is considered a fictitious point, just like Lilith. It is the counterpart to the Black Moon and represents a marker of a person’s bright karma. In the matters of the House and sign where it is located, the native has performed the greatest number of good deeds in the past, and now, it would seem, is guaranteed protection and a green light in all affairs related to this sphere. However, things are not so clear-cut. Astrologers still debate whether Selena truly influences fate, since for many clients her impact is imperceptible, or, conversely, some may commit misdeeds and the higher powers seem to remain silent—although, in most cases, a person is not allowed to sin in matters of the White Moon, and any transgressions are quickly curtailed by illness or imprisonment. The point is that Selena can be switched off by more powerful aspects or if the person has not made an effort to integrate her.

Preparing for Selena’s Karmic Cycles

The symbol of the horoscope’s guardian angel is a waxing Moon on a cross of truth and nobility. If a person listens to their conscience, feels remorse for bad actions, and strives to make amends, their Selena is active. She protects the native. Circumstances arrange themselves so that the person is kept away from disasters, explosions, maniacs, and murderers.

Her return cycle is seven years. On birthdays that are multiples of this number, the native receives a reward for their good deeds, or punishment if they have followed the path of Lilith and negative aspects of personal planets. A person who acts in a selfish or cruel manner may fall ill or even die if their further actions would bring misfortune to others.

If, in years of life that are multiples of seven, injuries or troubles occur, it is a warning from Selena that the wrong path has been chosen.

An early start to sexual activity, before the age of 14, disrupts the settings for a happy family life, especially for those with Lilith in Scorpio.

After age 63, if a person stubbornly refuses to change for the better and continues down a negative path, the Higher Powers simply cease to protect them, and everything returns to them like a boomerang.

One should prepare for the White Moon’s cycle in advance: at least a year ahead, correct past mistakes and do as much good as possible in the area of the horoscope sector where she is placed.

If a person is pure and bright of soul, every seven years they will meet friends and spiritual mentors who help them transition to a new spiral of happy events and self-realization. Healing, liberation from problems and limitations may occur.

How to Work with Selena’s Aspects

The White Moon, burdened by tense aspects with other planets, does not function without the native’s intent. She is simply suppressed by more powerful energy flows. In such a case, and when Selena is included in complex configurations such as a T-square or Yod—especially if she is at the apex—it is necessary to consciously work through the planets at the base of the figure, striving to reach their higher octave.

If it is Venus—create beauty and be a model of your best self; Mars—act nobly and bravely, face your fears. Of course, it’s important to consider the Houses to know exactly where to direct your actions.

There are also important nuances:

A conjunction with a planet brings luck and happiness in that planet’s affairs: Selena with Venus—mutual love, talent for acting or fashion, financial luck; with Mercury—eloquence, friends, intellect. But if one shifts to the lower octave of the planet—cheating, betrayal, deception—strict punishment and retribution follow immediately.

An opposition with Selena is a cunning trap through the planet in aspect. It promises easy luck—fame, enrichment, advancement—but through actions that lead away from the Divine: a movie role obtained through the casting couch, a position gained via a bribe or betrayal.

A sextile will indicate which talent can help one live for the benefit of society.

If the transiting White Moon is in opposition to the natal one, it’s the perfect time for self-improvement. The House where the transit occurs will indicate whose help is needed: friends, partners, teachers. Selena without aspects may only become evident in extreme situations; in ordinary life, the person may not feel the support of their guardian angel or hear the voice of intuition.

How to Integrate Selena Independently

If the White Moon is unaspected or afflicted by negative aspects, it is within the native’s power to activate her support through their own will.

The sign in which she is placed will show which positive character traits should be developed and what actions should be taken, while the House symbolizes the circumstances and activities in which the native can express these qualities most vividly and beneficially for all.

For example, Selena in Leo in the Fifth House points to working with children, expressing talent on stage, charity, generosity, the ability to inspire creativity, and to ignite and promote talents, especially in children—both one’s own and those under one’s care.

The key to activating Selena is selflessness and compassion. This does not mean refusing money if it comes to you through her, but accepting it easily, with pleasure and without unhealthy attachment—while always giving back more.

The native should pay close attention to all signs and hints in matters of the House where Selena is placed. If she is in the Seventh House and circumstances prevent marriage to a particular person or signing a business contract, it means the guardian angel is averting misfortune—even if the native is madly in love or the contract promises profit and relates to their life’s work.

If Selena is benevolent, obstacles disappear on their own and everything goes smoothly.

Sometimes a person pushes through by force and gets their way; in that case, the higher powers leave them with the result of their choice, but it will be very difficult to change it afterward.

Selena is strengthened by prayer, gratitude, and self-sacrifice for the good of society and the planet as a whole, because if her counterpart Lilith symbolizes the subconscious, the White Moon represents the collective superconscious.  ✓
