>It directly influences the sea, where humans saw their reflection before the invention of the mirror, with the tides and also regulates the female menstrual cycle, which marks the capacity to generate life, that is, the point at which the soul can be transported to the material world through the body

Another importance of the Moon is that it gives rise to the night, which reveals the planets beyond the Sun and stars, where we can see the Fixed Stars (Zodiac), where our souls came from.

>Each of the celestial objects – the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn – was encased in its own glassy shell of perfect aether. The cosmic sphere familiar to the observer terminated with the firmament – the sphere of fixed stars – and beyond that was a majestic transparent crystal sphere – the Primum Mobile (the Prime Mover) – that imparted motion to the cosmos by virtue of the fact that it was its nature to revolve forever, its revolutions prompting all of the inner shells to move too with clockwork precision

>Unlike the planetary spheres, which are subject to chaotic movement, change, and corruption, the fixed stars are immutable and eternal (hence Zodiacal Fatalism). Souls initially arise or reside in this sphere, as it provides a stable field for consciousness before descending through the planetary spheres, the first being Saturn

>The Primum Mobile was the source of all motion in the universe, the sine qua non of movement. The sphere of the moon provided the boundary between the heavens and the Earth. Everything above the Moon (supralunar) was aethereal and perfect; everything below was non-aethereal and imperfect. While the celestial region was made of the aether (quintessence), the sublunar region comprised the four terrestrial elements of Earth, Water, Air and Fire
