What the Moon sign is
Your Moon sign is the sign of the zodiac the Moon was in at the moment you were born. If the Sun shows who you are and what you strive for, the Moon shows what you feel: what calms you, what feels like home and how you behave when you are tired or upset.
The Moon crosses a sign in two or three days, so the date and town of birth are usually enough. If the Moon moved into the next sign on the day you were born, the table shows both, and your exact time of birth tells which one is yours.

The Moon in the signs
Aries
Moon in Aries: feelings flare up fast and pass just as fast. You need the freedom to act and the right to be angry without long explanations. Movement calms you: sport, a new project, an honest straight talk. You don't hold grudges for long, but you don't like to wait either.
Taurus
Moon in Taurus: a need for calm and constancy. You need to know that tomorrow will be as safe as today: home, money, someone close beside you. Good food, hugs, nature and a familiar rhythm calm you. Sudden changes throw you off balance, but your attachments are strong.
Gemini
Moon in Gemini: feelings need to be put into words. You feel better once you can talk things over, write them down and sort them out. Conversation, a book and new information calm you. Your mood changes quickly, and you grow restless where there is no one to talk to.
Cancer
Moon in Cancer: deep sensitivity and a pull towards home. You need people close to you, care and a place to hide from the world. You remember warmth and hurt for a long time. Family, a cosy home, home cooking and familiar faces calm you.
Leo
Moon in Leo: your heart needs warmth and recognition. You need your love to be noticed and valued, and to be loved openly, without hints. Creativity, celebration and someone who truly admires you calm you. Indifference hurts more than criticism.
Virgo
Moon in Virgo: calm comes through order. You feel better when everything is clear, in its place and your hands have something to do. You show care in deeds rather than words. A plan, tidying up, a walk and small useful tasks ease your worries.
Libra
Moon in Libra: a need for harmony and partnership. Quarrels and rudeness throw you off balance; beauty and courtesy calm you. You feel best beside someone close with whom everything is discussed gently and as equals. Take care not to give up your own wishes for peace at any price.
Scorpio
Moon in Scorpio: strong, deep feelings that you hide from strangers. You need complete trust and closeness without pretence. You remember both good and bad for a long time. Solitude, an honest talk with the person closest to you and work you can give yourself to calm you.
Sagittarius
Moon in Sagittarius: your feelings need room. Routine and rules feel tight, and you feel light where there is a road, a meaning and hope. Travel, books, talks about what matters and humour calm you. You tend to outgrow hard feelings rather than live through them — sometimes they need room too.
Capricorn
Moon in Capricorn: feelings under control. You don't like to show weakness and feel calmest when everything depends on you. You show care through responsibility and action. Work, clear rules and a goal reached calm you; let yourself rest and accept help as well.
Aquarius
Moon in Aquarius: your feelings need freedom. You need to stay yourself even in the closest relationship, and pressure or jealousy push you away. Friends, new ideas and a little distance to think things over calm you. Your sympathy comes through understanding first and the heart second.
Pisces
Moon in Pisces: fine sensitivity and strong intuition. You soak up the moods of the people around you, so you need quiet time to come back to yourself. Music, water, sleep and creative work calm you. Learn to tell your own feelings from other people's.
Questions and answers
Can I find my Moon sign without my time of birth?
Usually yes: the Moon stays in a sign for two or three days. Only if it changed sign on your birthday can't it be told without the time — then the table shows both signs.
How is the Moon sign different from my star sign?
Your «star sign» is your Sun sign: character and will. Your Moon sign is feelings, habits and what you need for peace of mind. Many people recognise themselves most in their Moon.
Is it free?
Yes: your Moon sign, its meaning and your whole birth chart are free. Only the full reading of the birth chart is paid.
