How You Can Use Your Moon Sign to Create More Connection in Your Life

Our Sun sign shows who we are outwardly for all to see — the conscious decisions we make, the goals we set, our strongest personality traits. Under the surface, our Moon sign represents the often hidden truths of who we are. How we prefer to nurture and be nurtured, express our emotions and sensitivities is all connected to the divinely feminine Moon energy. Just as the Sun emerges to illuminate the day and shine a light on all we want others to see, the Moon reveals all that we wouldn’t want seen so easily. 

Pop culture has trained us to look to our Sun sign for all the answers, but knowing your Moon sign paints a fuller picture of the intricacies of you. Your Rising sign takes it one step further, but we’ll save that for another day. Here, you’ll find an intro to your moon sign. Feel free to be nosey and take a look for a friend, love interest or family member, too. It may explain some things…

Virgo Moon

A Virgo Moon would simply suppress their emotions if they could get away with it. They tend to be grounded and relaxed outwardly during emotionally stressful times. This is only because they are doing their best to rationalize their feelings. Virgo Moon can struggle with the flow of emotions, as they cannot always be easily fixed, organized or predicted by pattern. They do care though, so if you go to them for advice expect to leave with a 12-step plan.

Libra Moon

Libra Moons are always seeking harmony and balance. This rings true on an emotional level, as well. They notice the emotional give and take in relationships and work to make sure there isn’t too much of one or the other. This can lead to suppressing their feelings or troubles to maintain balance and remain “likeable”. They’re down for a good heart-to-heart and may need to be nurtured a bit to truly express.

Scorpio Moon

Capricorn Moon

Capricorn Moon would rather their feelings not distract from their material goals in life. Instead, they deal with them in a very methodical way.

Aquarius Moon

Pisces Moon

In tune with their emotions and intuition, Pisces Moon is empathetic to the point of being psychically empathic.
