Your moon sign

The part nobody sees. Usually the most useful thing in the chart.


The Sun describes where you are heading. The Moon describes what you need. They are not the same thing, and the squeeze most people feel is exactly here: where they are going does not match what they need.

The Moon is your first reaction

The Moon is also the first reaction. What you do without thinking when bad news lands — go quiet, talk it out, start cleaning, call someone — that is the Moon. The Sun shows up afterwards.

  • Fire Moon: expresses it immediately, flares fast, cools fast.
  • Earth Moon: settles by doing something concrete.
  • Air Moon: processes by talking it through and understanding it.
  • Water Moon: feels it first, works out what it was later.
