What Your Moon Sign Says About You

what your moon sign says about you

the moon sign is so important. it’s the first thing i want to mention to people learning about astrology, because although your chart is much like a jigsaw puzzle, your moon sign is one of the biggest pieces. much like the sun sign, it makes up a vast amount of who you are. your moon sign rules over your emotions, your impulses, and the deepest, most personal version of you. your sun sign is who you are when you’re in your element, most comfortable, around the people you trust. your moon sign is the inner workings of you every single day. the decisions you make, the way you perceive your emotions, and your viewpoint on the world are all products of your moon sign. so learn a bit about yourself!

☽ moon in aries ☾ : if your moon is in aries, you’re quite a character! passionate, impulsive, and excitable, you are fast paced and see nothing as impossible! you’re bound to have very strong emotions, be them good or bad, and you let them rule your every decision (though your decisions can hardly be called decisions; you just do what you want). nothing is ever boring with a moon in aries around! good qualities: passionate, spontaneous, ambitious, optimistic bad qualities: impatient, moody, hot-headed, dramatic

☽ moon in taurus ☾ : if your moon is in taurus, your personality can be best described as warm. you are affectionate, patient, and kind, and you’re a slave to routine. you want every day to be predictable, because you’re most comfortable following a pattern! your love for your family, close friends, and partner is gentle and unwavering, and you will stick by the people you care about through thick and thin. good qualities: kind, loyal, frugal, fair bad qualities: stubborn, materialistic, unforgiving

☽ moon in gemini ☾ : if your moon is in gemini you’re one of the most fast-paced moon signs. sociable, funny, and friendly, you’re much like aries in your impulsiveness, but unlike the fire sign which is unwavering, you’re an ever-changing person. you probably find yourself taking on traits of those around you, and constantly reinventing your style, because you can’t stand being the same person every day! good qualities: interesting, funny, organized, intelligent bad qualities: noncommittal, restless, rude

☽ moon in cancer ☾ : cancer moons are the most in-touch with their feelings of all the moon signs. if your moon is in cancer, you always know what you’re feeling, and always know what the people around you are feeling as well. you have great intuition, and that combined with your maternal nature makes you a wonderful friend, partner, and parent. good qualities: caring, empathetic, loyal, nurturing bad qualities: pessimistic, insecure, finicky, self-absorbed

☽ moon in leo ☾ : if your moon is in leo, you’re incredibly generous. you express your emotions by giving all you can to others, especially those you love. you enjoy showering those around you in gifts, compliments, and affection, but you expect to be treated the same! you love to help others, and give some of the best advice. you feel your best when surrounded by people who care about you, and probably hate being alone. good qualities: organized, loving, generous, responsible bad qualities: dramatic, needy, bossy, materialistic

☽ moon in virgo ☾ : if your moon is in virgo, you’re obsessed with detail and simplicity all at once. you like to keep a routine that’s to a t, but prefer to walk through life without doing anything incredible. you’re happy just blending in with the crowd, and doing small things to make a difference! you show your love in tiny gestures, like packing someone’s lunch or doing their laundry, and prefer not to get too sappy about it. you’d rather not make a big splash about anything! good qualities: reliable, organized, selfless bad qualities: insecure, withdrawn, apathetic

☽ moon in libra ☾ : if your moon is in libra, you want someone by your side at all times. you feel most comfortable when you’re in a relationship and quite insecure when you’re alone. you usually want everything to be perfect, almost unrealistically so, and you stress a lot about the little things. you have great social skills and likely lots of friends, and love being surrounded by them. good qualities: adaptable, charming, sympathetic bad qualities: overindulgent, indecisive, dependent to a fault

☽ moon in scorpio ☾ : if your moon is in scorpio, you’re intense in everything you do. from your interests to your relationships to what you eat for dinner, everything is a big deal. you probably like horror, mythology or astrology, and take great interest in the strange and the unknown. you have a constant thirst for excitement, and if there is none, you’ll create it. your presence is unmistakable. good qualities: passionate, charismatic, ambitious, complex bad qualities: possessive, dramatic, hot-tempered, may be disloyal

☽ moon in sagittarius ☾ : if your moon is in sagittarius, you are a free spirit. a sagittarius moon loves adventure, excitement, and change in their life. if any sign is likely to be a modern-day nomad that lives in a camper and crosses country, it’s a sagittarius moon. a sag moon living a conventional life is the type to pick you up at three a.m. to take you to mcdonald’s. they can’t stand doing things the same way twice. good qualities: fun, fast-paced, spontaneous, passionate bad qualities: irresponsible, flighty, rude, unreliable

☽ moon in capricorn ☾ : if you have a capricorn moon, you are an old soul. you’re practical and constantly striving for success, and you’re so driven that you’re bound to get where you want to be. emotions are not your strong suit, and many capricorn moons may remain single throughout their life, simply because they’d rather worry about themselves. reserved but not selfish, a cap moon is not very social. good qualities: ambitious, intelligent, logical, even-tempered bad qualities: insecure, unaffectionate, anxious

☽ moon in aquarius ☾ : if your moon is in aquarius, you march to the beat of your own drum. an aqua moon feels set apart from others, and tends to act as an outsider looking in; they don’t believe anyone can truly understand them. they’re funny, independent, and kind, and their intuition and observance makes them some of the best therapists, case workers, and even lawyers. good qualities: independent, intuitive, idealistic, funny bad qualities: egotistical, moody, distant

☽ moon in pisces ☾ : if you’re a pisces moon, you have incredible compassion that’s unmatched by any other sign. you identify with everyone in some way, because you have a sense of empathy and don’t struggle to walk in another’s shoes. you’re dreamy, optimistic, and romantic, and sometimes you lose touch with reality. you may be referred to as a “sponge”, because you soak up the emotions you’re surrounded by, and it’s easy for you to lose yourself in others’ problems, forgetting to take time to care for yourself first. good qualities: empathetic, selfless, thoughtful, idealistic bad qualities: impracticle, dependent, sensitive, may be a doormat

🌑 Born beneath a New Moon -The Sun and the Moon occupy the same sign Moon is very close to the Sun, almost touching it at a distance of 0-44° ahead (ie. Sun in Cancer with Moon in Cancer, or Sun in Leo with Moon in Leo). These people are internally heated with hot emotion and intuition. There is also an impending sense of excitement and stimulation for change that can manifest as panic or inability to rest

🌒 Born beneath a Waxing Crescent Moon - Moon is about 2-3 signs ahead of Sun) Sun sextile Moon

Moon is very close to the Sun forming a 45-60° sextile with the sign ahead (ie. Sun in Taurus sextile Moon in Cancer) Parents can have opposing values and conflicting personalities that create a sense of instability resulting in the inability to settle as an adult, they can therefore attract partners where unresolved issues are projected and the individual can be intensely irritated or unnerved by minor personality differences

🌓 Born beneath a Waxing Half Moon -Moon is about 3-4 signs ahead of the Sun. Sun square Moon or Sun trine Moon

The Sun forms a 90° square with the Moon sign ahead that is typically the same modality (Cardinal, Fixed or Mutable)…(ie. Sun in Libra (cardinal) square Moon in Capricorn (cardinal) or The Sun forms a 180° trine with the Moon sign ahead that is typically the same element (Fire, Earth, Air, Water)…(ie. Sun in Pisces trine Moon in Cancer) Attracted to partners that display opposing values and behaviours, but also requires somebody to approach life at the same speed. Dane Rudhyar called the first and Last Quarter Moons “crisis” times.

🌔 Born beneath a Waxing Gibbous Moon -Moon is about 5 signs ahead of the Sun. No major aspect between the Sun and the Moon, or a 150° Sun inconjunct Moon

Moon is 150° ahead of the Sun forming a 150° inconjunct (Sun in Aquarius and Moon in Taurus) Often troubled by childhood and the relationship between parents. self development attached to relationships. Philippe Cornu writes, “This is a day for wisdom. This is a day of speed, clarity, skill and intelligence. Skillful actions are successful.”

🌕 Born beneath a Full Moon (Moon 180° ahead of Sun, 6 signs away)

The Sun and Moon are in dual signs, sitting opposite one another on the birth chart and typically share the same modality (ie. Sun in Aries (cardinal) and Moon in Libra (cardinal). The individual’s parents can be conflicting and troubled, chaos and instability may have been conditioned as normality, it can be difficult for the person to integrate that the parent was both good and bad. "Lunar gaps” is, what astrologer Michael Erlewine calls them, “regular opportunities, joints in the nick of time, when insights are somehow more possible than at other times.”

🌖 Born beneath Disseminating Moon (Moon is about 5 signs behind the Sun, Moon inconjunct Sun, or Moon trine Sun)

The Sun is 135° behind the Moon sign forming a 150° inconjunct (Sun in Sagittarius and Moon in Cancer) or trine (Sun in Aries and Moon in Sagittarius) The feeling of being born with the responsibility of making important, long term decisions they often feel unready for. Is adaptable and makes the internal adjustment necessary to change with life. Dane Rudhyar writes, “The waning period of the lunation is thus a period of growth for the active power of consciousness. Consciousness, once it is formulated, can be shared with others, and thus can actively affect and transform others.”

🌗 Born beneath a Waning Half Moon (Moon is about 3-4 signs behind the Sun. Sun square Moon or Sun sextile Moon)

Moon is very close to the sun, almost basking in its shadow. Moon is 90° behind the Sun forming a square (Sun in Taurus and Moon in Aquarius) or 60° away forming a sextile (Sun in Cancer and Moon in Taurus) Realiser and materialiser of magic, truthful expression of emotion can seem to create incessant conflict. Can be in a constant crisis until inner balance is obtained. Inner tension becomes explosive without productive outlets. Haydn Paul writes of this phase, “This personality type often feels a secret destiny

🌘 Born beneath Balsamic Moon (Moon is 45° behind the Sun, only 1 or 2 signs away) Moon semisquare Sun (ie Sun in Pisces and Moon in Taurus) The Moon disperses the karma for this lifetime. Often regarded as ‘special’ from others from a young age as they displayed much solitary wisdom and willingness to be alone. These people are early rises and may be unaffected by every moon phase but the balsamic (dead moon). May feel abandoned and without a mother

🌙 People born on the cusp (between 3 degrees°) of Moon Signs The Moon is considered void of course during the last major planetary aspect in and entrance into the next sign. Asks the questions they already know the answer to. Can have a habit of trusting the wrong people or keep enemies closer than friends

Aries moon natives

easily irritable. Most of the time, you can tell by facial expressions since it’s so impulsive and an “in the heat of the moment” type of thing — regardless if it’s only there for a split second. We become easily irritated when we can’t grasp a specific concept, something along the lines of a subject in school that is just difficult for us to understand. We don’t care if no one in the class doesn’t get it, we still are disappointed and frustrated in ourselves. Contrary, if the whole class gets it but us, we can easily shut down and nearly get to the brink of tears.

One thing I love about us is that we are very direct and candid. Mostly to the ones we love. How we may approach saying it can be in an overly rude and blunt manner, but we truly mean well. This, however, can turn people off about how honest we are. There’s really no sugar coating here 9 times out of 10. We’re actually pretty bad liars when trying to sugar coat or tell you what you want to hear.

Keep your distance when we’re angry. The type to cry angry tears when angry, actually.

Fairly sensitive, even if we don’t show it or not. We tend to not show it because it’s a sign of vulnerability in our eyes, and we’re too strong willed to and give people one of our weaknesses. This sensitivity and sudden outburst of emotions is extremely evident when we’re younger — as we can’t, won’t, and don’t necessarily know how to control our emotions and are more vulnerable to the world.

Extremely emotionally independent. We don’t normally like confiding to others about our deep rooted problems, rather, handle it ourselves until we can’t anymore.

Usually kind and easygoing.

Can you say competitive? Literally everything is a competition. It can be in sports, mental activities, etc. we don’t like losing, and get very on edge when we see someone superseding or attempting to supersede us in our craft. This usually makes us drive even more.

If we want something, we most definitely will find a way to attain it.

There’s a passion and drive in us like no other that cannot be stopped when ignited, and that’s what I love about us Aries moons 🌙💕.
