The Moon Sign at a Glance
Our Moon sign reveals our inner emotions and how we connect with others in relationships. It represents our hidden thoughts and unconscious behaviors.
Is the Moon sign more important than the Sun sign?
While the Sun sign depicts our general personality traits and our wants, the Moon sign reflects our inner being and our needs. In relationships such as marriage, the moon sign plays an important role in how we respond unconsciously, our innermost feelings, and what we need to feel nurtured by our environment. In a historical context, the moon has an association with the mother, or woman, and can reveal the ideal marriage partner in a man’s chart. Compatibility is based on the two luminaries (Sun and Moon), three personal planets (Mercury, Venus, and Mars), and other impersonal and outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) in each couple’s natal (birth) chart. One of the main aspects an astrologer looks for in a soul mate connection is the man’s sun conjunct a woman’s moon. A conjunction is when two different luminaries or planets are in the same sign. The birth chart is made up of 12 houses, and the signs, conjunctions, and symmetries of the two individual charts are compared to give the most accurate reading.
