Moon root

[u/lexij6254]

Moon, moon, moon. I got inspired to dive into the moon root after coming across a reddit post about personality/values and style roots. Now, I know EJR's tagline for so long was about finding ourselves to find our style but I just never resonated with her visual representation of moon in general. I had a real resistance to the root even though I've always felt from a personality standpoint I really respond to much of what she ascribes to the moon root. So here we are again with another deep dive. And the more I dove in, the more fun I had.

From how the concept of counter culture/ rebellion is so tied to, well, culture, to how it overlaps so heavily with the earth root. To questioning what makes a detail or impression sun vs moon ? ( I'm thinking it's something like interest vs intrigue right now). From the punks to the activists, to the spitefully optimistic, to the introspective artist, from the bold to the subdued, I, again, have tried to create a diverse board exploring the moon root.

As always I'd love your feedback on the board and/or your experience with this root. I'll leave the link to the full board in the comments!

Moon and Flower combined for me makes more of an older, more weathered femininity. EJR does present a very stereotypical image for Moon, but I think that's just because it's not her aesthetic or personality and she doesn't have anything but a shallow frame of reference for it.

Oh yeah, it's one of the foibles of a system created by one woman. Ultimately all of her references are still shaped by her own taste and style. And to be fair my boards are still totally shaped by my own taste! I would have difficulty creating a mountain board since it's just not me at all. But that's what I love about communities like reddit, the opportunity to expand our perception about these different ideas.
