Moon signs are one of the keys to unlocking the mysteries and magic of the birth chart. The moon controls the tides, guiding the waters of our planets. Its gravitational powers also affect our bodies, which are 60% water. The moon is a sacred symbol, a glow in the night, a reminder of our inner cycles and seasons. 

If the sun sign in astrology is our identity, who we are, and how our outward energy is expressed, the moon sign is the quieter side of your birth chart, where your emotional body lives, how you give and receive nourishment and care, and what drives you in your life and pursuits.

By studying your moon sign and understanding how it interacts with your other key placements in your birth chart, you can better understand yourself and how to best be in relationships with others. 

Aries Moon

If you have an Aries Moon, your moon is a cardinal fire moon. You are creative, a go-getter, and maybe sometimes a little impulsive. You feel nurtured when you can be your wild, artistic, fiery self. Your superpower is your courage. 

Taurus Moon

If you have a Taurus Moon, your moon is a fixed earth moon. You are grounded, sensual, incredibly committed, and loyal. You feel nourished when you can move slowly, feel connected to the earth, and are romanced in your everyday life. Your superpower is your honesty. 

Gemini Moon

If you have a Gemini Moon, your moon is a mutable air sign. You are intellectual, witty, and social. You feel nurtured when you can be your most dynamic self, talk through things, and can have a spirited debate. Your superpower is your mind. 

Cancer Moon

If you have a Cancer Moon, your moon is a cardinal water sign. You are nurturing, emotive, and deeply connected to the moon. You feel nourished when you are heard, your cycles are embraced, and you can fully express yourself. Your superpower is your caring nature. 

Leo Moon

If you have a Leo Moon, your moon is a fixed fire sign. You are bold, courageous, and often emotionally extroverted. You feel nurtured when you are free to be yourself, when connected to your creativity, and in the spotlight. Your superpower is your star factor. 

Virgo Moon

If you have a Virgo Moon, your moon is a mutable earth sign. You are perceptive, process-oriented, and patient. You feel nourished when you are able to make a plan and stick to a routine, when you’re helping others, and in dealing with the details. Your superpower is your clarity. 

Libra Moon

If you have a Libra Moon, your moon is a cardinal air sign. You are peaceful, embrace beauty, and love expression. You feel nurtured when you are in harmony with those around you, you can indulge in a bit of luxury and are surrounded by art (or whatever you believe is beautiful!). Your superpower is your Venusian side. 

Scorpio Moon

If you have a Scorpio Moon, your moon is a fixed water sign. You have a depth and intensity to you, you’re deeply creative, and have intuitive or psychic talents. You feel nourished when your intensity is understood and embraced, you can tap into your intuitive gifts, and when you can be your best sensitive self. Your superpower is your magnetism. 

Sagittarius Moon

If you have a Sagittarius Moon, your moon is a mutable fire sign. You are free, expansive in nature, and love to experience new things and places. You feel nurtured when you can create without inhibition, are able to venture into the world, and when you can share your inner dialogue with those you love. Your superpower is your willingness to try. 

Capricorn Moon

If you have a Capricorn Moon, your moon is a cardinal earth sign. You are practical, wise, and hardworking. You feel nourished when in stable relationships, you’re able to see the fruits of your labor realized and in planning ahead. Your superpower is your dedication. 

Aquarius Moon

If you have an Aquarius Moon, your moon is a fixed air sign. You are innovative, a rebel, and deeply care for the communities you’re a part of. You feel nurtured when you’re able to be yourself (as an individual a part of the collective), in partnerships with other like-minded rebels, and when you’re able to pioneer new ways of relating. Your superpower is your strangeness. 

Pisces Moon

If you have a Pisces Moon, your moon is a mutable water sign. You are deeply creative, emotional, and intuitive. You feel nourished when you can connect to your dreams, are cared for with the same careful compassion you give others, and are making art. Your superpower is your empathy.
