"To be, or not to be? That is the question..." Shakespeare
Some mystics of astrology recommend that you feed the moon symbolic "food" though your daily activities and according to your astrology aspects; and to talk to your inner-self, which they refer to as your lunar self. Others astrology experts recommend that the moon should be treated like an animal in a symbolic zoo; and that you should never feed it during your lifetime.
The moon is a symbol in astrology that relates to a functional feeling for the feminine principal that exists inside of everybody, regardless of gender. Every aspect of your personal lunar cycle affects a variety of symbolical things, including your astrology sun sign. The moon plays an essential part of astrological information when building an astrology chart; and it is included in your house and in your aspects (your "aspect" is the key to interpreting your astrology chart).
While astronomers and poets have an authentic interest in the moon, it is more than a bright satellite in astrology. Influence of the moon in astrology is more than just generating tides or a romantic illumination in the heavens. The moon can wield a significant influence on psychological, emotional, and even mechanical conditions of man.
Superstition related to full moon lunacy, which is portrayed by the mythological werewolf, may not be far from the truth. Certain phases of the moon have the probability to produce and stimulate reactivity in emotionally demanding situations, in addition to creating a heightened sensitivity in susceptible individuals.
A variety of sources, which are meant for and can be understood by people experienced in astrology, have detailed the human spirit as "food" for the moon. You may arrive at a similar albeit a more extensive conclusion, which could be construed in the context of the moon as a patterned control system.
The moon is extraordinarily intriguing as a practical subject of astrology since the cyclical pattern of the moon can be factored into the astrology signs and symbols. The moon can be experienced by anyone who has eyes with which to see. Knowledge of lunar cycles may be used to bypass stumbling blocks that are, more often than not, exacerbated by a fog of ignorance.
You need to develop within yourself a driving force that can be a resistance to the external lunar cycle influence, at any particular time in your astrology chart as it relates to your astrology sign; in this way you will be able to break free of the strong influence of the moon.
This simply means; that in order for you to free yourself from any reactive behavior or perfunctory movement, you need to develop a sense of self-recognition. By doing so; your spiritual awareness, your mind and your deliberate choices will reign supreme over the external impulses and emotions that might be provoked by the influence of the moon with an unconscious reaction. As such, you will be able to stop trying to feed the moon while you are alive, and then be able to pay your proper dues upon your demise.
The moon acts as an enormous electromagnet that pulls upon organic life, which is on earth, and swallows it from souls of dying creatures. The moon is a nascent satellite mystically receiving its nutrition from organic life on earth via regions of space beyond the earth's atmosphere by a mystical umbilical cord.
Energy flows through an astral channel between earth and moon. The moon can drive mankind's autonomic characteristics like a symbolical pendulum, which moves gears in an enormous grandfather clock. The comparable level of your effectiveness as a human being determines the magnitude of force, which it takes for the moon and the stars to influence your activities; the moon could greatly influence your behavior if you are apathetic about your spiritual existence.
People that are incompetent in their spiritual development, and go through life without noble impulses, are swayed to and fro just like the tide ebbs and flows because of the propulsive nature of the moon. The equation is equalized by the moon as a driving force of mechanical movements, on the incompetence side; with those who overcome its influence and condition their minds to think pure and divine thoughts.
Humans feed the moon after they are called to glory, so that it will grow and one day become a living planet; or they detract from its progression in the universe by succumbing to its compelling influence while they are alive.
As to how organic life feeds the moon; the Russian spiritual teacher Peter D. Ouspensky, who contributed to Twentieth century ideas and anticipated several key questions in psychology, religion and philosophy, explained that when you die your physical body returns to the earth but the essence of your soul--the astral and ethereal energies--are sloughed off by your evacuating spirit and float toward the moon. The spiritual energies are then deposit on the moon, which results in its progression in the universe toward becoming an actual planet.
So the real question is; will you detract from the moon's chance for progression in the universe while you are alive by succumbing to its magnetic influence; or will you feed the moon, as a result of your strong willpower and spiritually divine thoughts while you are alive, upon judgment day?

"To be, or to be. That is the question..." Whether 'tis nobler to be pulled to and fro by the influence of the moon and the stars; or to develop your heart, mind and soul: to resist the force of the unknown universe, to develop your own strength through power of your will, to be a force in the known universe with whom to be reckoned and to become a fully spiritual being. "To die; or to sleep no more..."
The question is really; whether you want to be apathetic about your existence: to go through life like a puppet on a string, to allow the stars and the moon to influence your existence like it does that of a werewolf; or do you want to be proactive and build yourself spiritually through intensification of your mind?
