Moon Signs Explained

Simply put, a Moon Sign is the sign occupied by the Moon in a horoscope chart. All most people know about themselves astrologically is what Sun Sign they belong to. This is probably due to newspapers and magazines which usually focus only on these.

We have all read our Sun Sign horoscopes and felt vital information was missing or a different sign’s forecast seemed more relevant.

We all have several sides to our character. However, I want to focus on the side of your personality you portray for the benefit of others. Your Sun Sign governs how others see you. However, your Moon Sign governs the vulnerable, sincere individual you are inside. The two can be as different as chalk and cheese.

What is a Moon Sign?

The Moon’s placement in your horoscope represents the quirky, irrational and intuitive side of your nature. To understand your Moon Sign is to understand yourself. That sounds a bit mystical, but in truth, few of us look deep within ourselves, because we either fear what we might find – or we know what we are going to find.

Because the Moon is associated with night more than day, it linked with dreams and feelings. It is also associated with craziness, hence the word ‘lunacy’, derived from ‘luna,’ the Latin word for ‘moon’.

Discovering your Moon Sign requires soul searching

I am inviting you to discover a part of your personality you know exists, but might have never known why. Some people will be thrilled to discover aspects of their personality, reasons why they are like they are. They’ll welcome the chance look deep within their souls. This soul searching exercise is not something everyone is prepared to do.

There is, of course, a one in twelve chance your Moon Sign is the same as your Sun Sign. This is neither good or bad news; it simply means you are extremely typical of your sign.
