Discover your Moon sign and understand your emotional inner world. Your Moon sign reveals how you process feelings, what you need to feel safe, and your deepest emotional patterns.
Your Moon sign is determined by the zodiac constellation the Moon was in at the exact moment of your birth. While your Sun sign represents your conscious identity, your Moon sign reveals your emotional inner world — how you process feelings, what makes you feel safe, and your instinctive reactions to life.
The Moon moves through all 12 zodiac signs every ~28 days, spending about 2.5 days in each sign. This is why birth time matters — someone born on the same day but at a different time could have a completely different Moon sign.
In relationships, Moon sign compatibility is often considered more important than Sun sign compatibility, because it determines emotional needs and how two people nurture each other.
In astrology, Moon sign compatibility is often considered the most important factor in emotional relationships. Two people can have very different Sun signs but feel deeply connected if their Moon signs are compatible.
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius — passionate, spontaneous, need excitement
Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn — stable, practical, need security
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius — intellectual, social, need communication
Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces — intuitive, deep, need emotional intimacy
Your Moon sign is the zodiac sign the Moon was in at the moment you were born. It represents your emotional nature, instincts, and subconscious patterns. While your Sun sign is your outer identity, your Moon sign is your inner emotional self.
Birth time is recommended but not required. The Moon changes signs every ~2.5 days, so if you were born on a day when the Moon changed signs, birth time determines which sign it was in. Without birth time, we use noon as a default, which is accurate for most people.
Neither is more important — they serve different functions. Your Sun sign represents your conscious identity and life purpose. Your Moon sign governs your emotional life, instincts, and what you need to feel secure. For relationships, many astrologers consider Moon sign compatibility even more important than Sun sign.
Yes! When your Sun and Moon are in the same sign, it's called a "double" of that sign (e.g., a "double Scorpio"). This intensifies that sign's energy, meaning your outer self and inner emotional world are closely aligned.
