Moon Sign – Exposing Emotional Needs

Your moon sign can tell you about your emotional needs. What exactly is it and how do you calculate it? You will discover that in this blog!

Do you not always recognize yourself in your zodiac sign? This is probably due to the influence of the other planets, including that of the moon. The moon? Yes! We explain exactly how this works below. This is what your moon sign says about you!

Moon Sign Meaning

The moon symbolizes the mother and rules over the sensitive water sign Cancer. It is therefore not surprising that the placement of the moon in your birth chart says something about your intuition and emotional needs. If you could use some extra self-care, it is  wise to look at your moon sign to find out what would help you most. Furthermore, the moon can sometimes also reveal something about your mother or how you experienced her.

This is How Your Moon Sign is Determined

Your moon sign is determined by the zodiac sign the moon was in when you were born. The Moon stays in a zodiac sign for about two to three days. So it moves about ten times faster than its big brother, the sun! Since the moon changes sign every two to three days on average, it should already tell you a little more about you than your sun sign.

Difference Zodiac Sign and Moon Sign

According to astrologers, your moon sign says something about your true nature. Your sun sign (zodiac) represents your ego and your Ascendant represents your demeanor, while your moon sign shows up in uncertain situations or with the people closest to you. So it is who you are deep inside and it is also about what goes on unconsciously inside you!

What is My Moon Sign?

You can calculate moon signs using various websites where you can request your birth chart. Such a birth chart or radix is ​​a snapshot of the position of the planets at the time you were born. For example, you can find out which sign the sun was in when you were born: your zodiac sign. Such a horoscope is a kind of blueprint of your personality. It is important that you know exactly where, when, and what time you were born. A few minutes earlier or later can make a big difference.

Recognizing Your Moon Sign in the Birth Chart

Now that you’ve had such a blueprint made, it might take some puzzling before you know what your moon sign actually is. Your moon sign is – not unexpectedly – ​​the sign that resembles the moon. You look it up in the circle and see what sign it is in. In the table on the left you also see a picture of a Crescent Moon with ‘moon’ behind it. In the image below you can read to the right of that ‘Lib’, the abbreviation of ‘Libra’. Moon in Libra!
