Yes, in astrology, our Sun sign is paramount. It represents our identity and self, and, how
we direct our will. It is our vitality. However, there is much more to our own
personal horoscope. Each planet, from the
Moon to Pluto, is in a particular sign and house at the moment of our
birth. Together, these comprise our astrological chart.
Along with the rising sign, or ascendant, the moon by sign,
house and phase carries equal weight to the Sun in any astrology reading. The rising sign is our mask, how we perceive
the world and how the world perceives us.
The Moon, by contrast, is our emotional interior, our feelings, how we
interpret and digest stimulus on the deepest level.
Only when we are very, very at ease do we show our Moon and
relate to others with it. We share our
Moon, our true feelings only with those we love and trust such as family
members and very old, dear friends.
With anyone new to us, we typically present our rising sign. If they pass muster and we feel we can relate
to them, we ease into our Sun sign. Once
we know them for a while, have enough trust to relax in their company, we take
off our outer layers and reveal our Moon sign, our vulnerable, soft, emotional self.
Astrologically, the moon represents our: mother, family, how we parent, food, cooking and feeding, our biological inheritance (genetics and shared resources), and psychological roots. Psychologically, what triggers emotions, trigger thoughts,
then trigger actions. So it is a wise
man who knows himself and how he will react from his deepest places: his heart.
When feelings are steered deftly and with maturity, our thoughts follow
suit, followed by our choices: what we do.
When we understand our emotional triggers, we can detach and make healthier decisions. No small thing this.
So then, what is your moon sign?
It may be calculated from the time and date of your birth. This will also show your moon phase…indicating how you connect to and
engage with the world. New Moon people
are different from Full Moon folks are different from Dark of the Moon fellows.

Once you identify your moon sign, you may also learn where
it falls in your astrological chart by house and phase. These three elements signify how you relate
and connect to yourself and others and initiate your work in this world.
The moon is our
psychology. No matter what your
relationship to her, the moon represents our mother, the earliest and most
formative of our relationships. The moon is primal. Regardless of sign, house or phase, the
placement of our moon indicates how we nurture…every one and everything, from
ourselves, to friends and loved ones, to any ideas, projects or products we
create. From your moon, all creative
energy flows.
