The Moon Sign Influence

We all know about our sun signs. But what about the lesser-known signs that help understand a person?

We’ve all looked up our zodiac signs and what they signify sometime or the other. Or perhaps someone told us what our week or month was shaping up to be and the prediction made us sit up and say, “Oh wow, that is happening!” Did you know that while our sun signs are close signifiers of our personalities and everyday lives, we are also a product of our moon sign?

Your moon sign speaks to your emotional side. It is indicative of your feelings and moods. Your moon sign reflects your personality when you are at your most comfortable. For example, you might be an Aquarius Sun but feel that deep down you are as emotional and as sentimental as a Cancer Sun. This may be because the Moon was in Cancer when you were born. The ever-changing transitions of the moon also play a huge role in how your sun sign is influenced. That is why an Aries born with a Taurus Moon might be much calmer and steadier than an Aries born with say an Aries or Scorpio Moon.

You can tell your moon sign from the postion of the moon at the time of your birth. You need at least the hour you were born in to know your moon sign since the moon goes through the zodiacs much faster than the sun, transitioning every two days or so. Usually, people use calculators, like this one on astrology.com.tr!

I hope you were curious enough to find out what your moon sign is. And now you can keep reading to find out how it influences you!
