Discover your moon sign — the key to understanding your emotional nature, instincts, and innermost needs.

What is a Moon Sign? While your Sun sign represents your core identity, your Moon sign reveals your emotional world, subconscious patterns, and what makes you feel safe and nurtured.

Why Birth Time Matters

The Moon moves approximately 13 degrees per day (about 0.5 degrees per hour). This means your Moon sign can change within a single day! To get an accurate result, you need your exact birth time. Check your birth certificate or contact the hospital where you were born.

Why Your Moon Sign Matters

While most people know their Sun sign (zodiac sign), your Moon sign is equally important for understanding who you are. The Moon changes signs approximately every 2.5 days, making it much more personal than your Sun sign.

Your Moon sign governs:

  • Your emotional responses
  • What makes you feel secure
  • Relationship with mother figures
  • How you process feelings
  • Subconscious habits
  • Emotional fulfillment needs

FAQ

Do I need my exact birth time?

Yes! The Moon moves quickly (about 1 degree every 2 hours), so even a few hours difference can change your Moon sign. Check your birth certificate for the exact time.

Is Moon sign more important than Sun sign?

Both are equally important but describe different parts of you. Your Sun sign is your conscious self and life purpose, while your Moon sign is your emotional core and subconscious patterns.

What if my Sun and Moon signs conflict?

This is actually very common! When your Sun and Moon signs have different qualities (e.g., fiery Sun with watery Moon), it creates inner complexity. Understanding both helps you integrate these different aspects of yourself.
