What Is Your Moon Sign?

What does the moon sign reveal?

Your moon sign is determined by the position of the moon at the exact moment of your birth. Because the moon moves through the zodiac every 28 days, spending roughly two to three days in each sign, it is more personal than your sun sign and changes faster. Two siblings born a week apart can have entirely different moon signs.

In traditional astrology, the moon governs the inner world: how you process emotion, what makes you feel safe, how you behave when no one is watching, and what you need from the people closest to you. Your sun sign is the identity you present; your moon sign is the self that exists before the presentation begins. It is the part that knows how you feel before you have found words for it.

The moon sign also shapes your relationship to comfort, home, family, and memory. A Scorpio moon holds on; a Sagittarius moon lets go. A Cancer moon is porous; a Capricorn moon contains. Understanding your moon sign is often the piece that makes other parts of your chart click into place.
