My Moon ☾ is in Aquarius.

The moon deals with emotions and feelings. 

According to Agrippa, it can be tuned by:

Water, sea, rivers, white, the white of eggs, fat, sweat, and phlegm. Superfluidities of bodies, menstruous blood. 

Taste: metal. Metal: silver. Stone: crystal, white stones, green, selenites, and pearls.

Plants: Selenotropion, palm, rosemary, chinosta, agnuscastus, olive tree. Animals: dogs, chameleons, panthers, crabs, oysters, and frogs.

The moon’s day is Monday and its hour is from 8 to 9 PM.

I walked along the Arno River with a beautiful moon in the

phase (AO). I will work with the moon after Jupiter.

When I was walking along the Arno and decided to work on the moon, I was passing by Galileo’s Museum. I will use his images of the moon for the scent.

In 1609 Galileo with an early version of the telescope observed the moon over the course of 19 nights. He recorded the phases of the moon in 6 watercolors (AQ). They were the introduction to Selenography. The drawings showed the moon’s surface to be more like that of our planet: rugged and uneven, with valleys, craters, and mountains. These discoveries were published in a text called Sidereus Nuncius. He then pointed the telescope at Jupiter and discovered its four moons.

He continued by turning his gaze toward Venus and made observations about its phases that help him figure out that the planet orbits the Sun, not the Earth as was the common belief in his time. Lastly, He discovered that the sun has sunspots, which appear to be dark in color.

One thing has taken me to another and how different sources of information I have been working on the same planets that Galileo made discoveries from.

The last scent I will work on while in Florence will be the Sun.

The moon smells like, flowers, incense, elemi, myrrh, oakmoss, ambergris, and maritime notes. It smells silver, white and ozonic.

The moon ☾

The fifth largest satellite in the Solar System and  Earth's only natural satellite. It lacks any significant atmosphere, hydrosphere, or magnetic field.

The Moon's orbit around Earth has a sidereal period of 27.3 days. During each synodic period of 29.5 days, the amount of visible surface illuminated by the Sun varies from 0% up to 100%. This results in the lunar phases that form the basis for the months of a lunar calendar.

The Moon is tidally locked to Earth, it possesses synchronous rotation, which means that the length of a full rotation of the Moon on its own axis and the somewhat longer lunar day is the same as the synodic period. 

Some of its names are Moon, Luna, and Selene which in greek provides the prefix seleno-, as in selenography, the study of the physical features of the Moon.

There is no sound on the moon.

For the Moon: sound, color, herb, scent, animal.

(AO) The first visible phase after the invisible New Moon is the thin sliver of a Waxing Crescent Moon.
