Whats my moon sign?

Chances are you already know your sun sign. I mean, there are Horoscopes available every day, not to mention the thousands of Zodiac memes that are shared amongst friends to lovingly insult each other's unique personality traits! Your star (or sun) sign represents which sign the Sun was in when you were born, the Earth takes 30-31 days to change signs as it orbits the Sun, so you share your sign with all others born in the same month as you. 

Most of us understand and know our own sun signs. This can mean perhaps you are a beautiful Scorpio or a mysterious Gemini. The sun sign is basically the most popular zodiac sign that you see in newspapers and this is your weekly horoscope. What many people don't know is that we have a powerful moon sign as well. It is equally a huge influence upon our lives.

Okay, so we know that your Sun sign is based on your birth month, and offers an insight to potential talents and characteristics that the rest of the are sorld see’s, but what on earth is a ‘Moon sign’? And how do you work it out? Well, working out your moon sign is (a lot) more specific than your Sun sign. Not only do you need your birth date, but the exact time and place you were born. 

If you’re not sure of your moon sign, why not take a quiz to calculate yours.

So, it’s your moon sign that reveals the real you, the hidden you that the rest of the world does not see. The private person inside that you know so well. The moon only stays in each sign for about 2-3 days, which largely explains why you may be so different to the other people you know who share your Sun sign, so time to stop comparing! Your moon sign shapes your emotions, worries, fears and longings along with your soul. It’s the hidden force controlling the state of your inner world, bringing light to all that lies under the surface, and highlighting your deepest needs.

Your moon sign also has a great impact on your relationships with others, and how you truly feel about those bonds. It’s deep! Looking for your soul-mate? Checking out your moon sign and theirs is a good place to start. Having Sun or moon signs in similar elements (earth, air, fire or water) can be a factor in how well the two of you will connect, emotionally. Seeing as your moon sign is all about those deep emotions.

As an example, independent Aires moons like to avoid mushy feelings, instead preferring spontaneity and excitement, Libra moons easy going nature creates a perfect match as they can remind Aries that relationships are give and take, and equal between both people.

Your moon signs element is helpful in understanding your inner world and how you may typically react in emotional situations, it can also change the tone at which you express your Sun sign by amplifying it, or muting it. For example if you are a fire Sun sign, but a water moon sign you will likely be careful with your actions and quite mellow, however if you are fire Sun and moon sign your expressions of both will be more vivid. 

To better understand the four elements, we can look at the interactions they have with one another. For example, fire and air. Fire requires air to grow and flourish but too much and the fire becomes uncontrollable. Not enough and it will burn out. It’s all about finding the balance. Fire and air can create exciting relationships, however these can burn out as quickly as they started.
