Moon Signs & Emotional Nature
Explore how your Moon sign shapes your emotional world and inner needs.
Your Moon sign reveals your emotional nature, instincts, and subconscious patterns. While your Sun sign represents your conscious identity and life purpose, your Moon sign governs your inner world—your feelings, reactions, and deepest emotional needs.
The Moon moves quickly through the zodiac, changing signs approximately every 2.5 days. This means your exact birth time is crucial for determining your Moon sign. Understanding your Moon sign helps you recognize emotional patterns, honor your needs, and cultivate emotional well-being.
