It is an esoteric truth in astrology. Your Sun Sign is what you aspire to be but your Moon Sign is who you are. Indeed the Moon is so important that two people can’t live happily ever after unless their Moons are compatible. They can be best friends, lovers, friends with privileges, even co-parents — but they cannot live together under one roof for long unless their Moons embrace.
The Moon is the oldest place in your birth chart. It reflects ancient timeless time, time spent in the womb and every past life wrapped up into one. It is like the back of your head. It is so much of what you are that you seldom have any awareness of it at all. Anyone interested in full self-awareness needs to know where their Moon is and what it characterizes. Anyone who wants to love and support another person needs to know their Moon Sign. And of course if you want to “nail” someone else, learn about their Moon sign and you have them at their most vulnerable.
Knowing the Moon Sign of someone you’re negotiating with – buying from or selling to – can be especially helpful. Knowing their Moon Sign can enable you to appeal to them appropriately and motivate their cooperation. It allows you to hit below the belt, so to speak, or talk to them inside their own head.
The Moon shows what you’re like when you’re the most relaxed and comfortable. Since it is the oldest part of you, it also describes where you go when you feel most pressured, stressed, or frightened. Understanding the energy of your Moon Sign can also help you self-soothe and center yourself when challenged. My Moon Sign interpretations are unlike any others you’ll read on the Internet. I think you’ll find them electrifyingly accurate.
