The Moon, Emotions, and You

Moon Signs in Astrology?

The position of the moon at your time of birth is important. This will determine your emotions and how you will interact with others daily. 

Moon signs are considered to be more important than sun signs. This is because the moon governs our emotional state and how we act internally which may or may not make us act out physically. The sun controls our personalities and how others see us. The moon, on the other hand, is our emotional side that deals with the emerging energies today and everyday. Because of this, the astrological sun sign does not have the same meaning as its moon sign counterpart. Use this calculator to find your moon sign. This calculator will also assist you in knowing where the moon is on any given day.
