What is a moon sign?

The sign of your deepest emotions and of what brings you comfort.

What it means

It is the sign where the Moon was at the exact moment you took your first breath in the world.

What it means in astrology

While the Sun takes care of what you do in the daytime for everyone to see, the Moon takes care of what you feel inside: your private emotions, your fears and how you like to be comforted.

Example

Peter is a Capricorn (very focused and serious at work), but has his Moon in Cancer. At home, he watches cartoons while eating popcorn and gets emotional easily over family stories.

Quick tip

The Moon represents your inner child and your safe harbor.
