Art, obsession, and identity
It’s safe to say that many of us are familiar with Sun signs. In astrology, the position of the Sun at birth falls within one of the 12 zodiac signs, which then determines much of our personalities. But the same applies to the Moon; the celestial body will fall within one of the zodiac signs at a given time. That said, how is it different from a Sun sign? And what does it say about us?

In astrology, the position of the Sun at birth falls within one of the 12 zodiac signs, which then determines much of our personalities.
Moon signs work in the exact same way as Sun signs; the difference is that they are determined according to the position of the Moon at the time of birth.
The main difference between our Sun sign and Moon sign is that the former reflects our outward personality, whereas the latter controls our mood and emotions.
According to astrologer Donna Page, "The Moon rules the night and our emotional world. It’s huge in determining your overall personality."
It’s as if your Sun sign reflects what other people can see about you (e.g. your career, your lifestyle, your behavior, etc.), and your Moon sign, on the other hand, is about the stuff that goes on inside you and how you deal with events emotionally.
In order to find out what your Moon sign is, you need information on your birth date (day, month, year), your birth time (hours and minutes), and your birth location (city and country). There are plenty of online calculators you can use.
Have you ever wondered why your emotional response to a situation is the way it is? Maybe your Moon sign has something to do with it. Let's take a look at what each sign means, and the influence it can have on your life.
If your Moon sign is in Aries, it's likely that being in a position where you can speak about your feelings brings you fulfilment. Being in such an environment can help you feel at peace.
You might be a little impulsive, but that’s because you’re easily inspired and will want to be the first to do whatever you think is the right thing to do.
Giving and receiving gifts is your love language. But you don’t only care about the material side of things–things such as good sex also play a big part in you feeling fulfilled!
You do appreciate being pushed into things at times, and sometimes even need it. But you also like to take time to reflect before taking action.
You like to be listened to and understood by other people. This applies to all areas of your life.
In your love life, you value a partner who is a good communicator. Contentment comes from working on improving your relationship, so communication is key.
Those with the Moon sign in Cancer tend to be very emotional. You’re a carer, but also want to be taken care of.
You may avoid painful situations such as a breakup, even if the relationship is not great, just to avoid triggering negative feelings. Deep down, you just want love and a family.
Leos are known to like attention, and indeed being appreciated is an emotional need that comes with the Moon sign in Leo.
You also appreciate loyalty and meaningful relationships. You may sometimes get carried away by having relationships with people who, quite frankly, don’t deserve you.
You like order, and that’s okay. "You need people to understand that you're not being critical—you're seeking perfection," says astrologer Donna Page.
Living a healthy lifestyle makes you feel good, and you can be particularly picky when it comes to relationships.
You’re in love with being in love. You’re just really into relationships. But this doesn’t just apply to romantic relationships. You also value doing stuff together with your friends.
You’re a bit of a peacemaker among your circle of friends. And while people tend to like you because you’re generally quite accommodating, you might be taken advantage of sometimes because of this.
If your Moon sign is Scorpio, it can be a bit intense at times. You are usually fairly competitive and like to achieve goals.
You are also blessed with a great intuition, but might find it difficult to trust some people. Knowing that you can trust someone is really important for you.
You just want to soak in as much life as you can. You love traveling and really value your freedom.
You also like to be right. You don’t like the feeling of being judged, but sometimes end up judging others.
You are all about risk management and being prepared. Sometimes you might sacrifice new experiences and spontaneity as a result.
You are very loyal once you commit to a relationship and have a deep need to be respected. Because you’re so risk-averse, you're usually good at setting boundaries.
The desire to be different and unique is rooted within you. You like to experience life in all its diversity, often being drawn to people and places very different from your own background.
For this reason, traveling is important to you. And so is having meaningful friendships, which you like to cultivate.
Pisces are probably the most romantic Moon signs. If you fall within Pieces, you likely love to be in love, and of course to be loved back.
You do tend to suffer with the world’s tragedies, and find fulfilment in making the world a better place. Charity and any other actions to alleviate suffering come natural to you.
