The Moon through the Astrological Signs

The Moon in your astrology chart speaks to your inner world, your emotions, instincts, and what makes you feel safe and nurtured. While your Sun sign shows your core personality, your Moon sign reveals how you feel, react, and care for yourself and others.

Knowing your Moon sign helps you understand your emotional needs, what feels like “home,” and how to align with your natural rhythm.
