Moon
Moon represents emotional nature, instincts, maternal energy, and the subconscious. Your Moon sign reflects your emotional reactions and inner world. Changes signs approximately every 2.5 days.
What is the Moon in astrology?
The Moon in astrology stands for emotions, instinctive reactions, the need for security and habits, and the sign it occupied at your birth is your Moon sign. The Moon circles the zodiac in about 27.3 days, spending roughly two and a half days in each sign. So people born in the same week can have different Moon signs, and if the Moon changed signs on your birthday, the birth time is needed for an accurate result. While the Sun sign describes conscious identity and goals, the Moon sign shows what you need when tired or hurt, how you settle down and how you respond in close relationships. A reading weighs the Moon's sign, house and aspects together. A common misconception is that the Moon sign only describes moods; in traditional astrology the Moon also signifies the mother, the home and daily routine. Lunar phases are a separate, calendar-based topic. You can see your Moon sign and its place in your chart by creating your birth chart on Faltastik.
