Just about everyone knows his/her Sun sign. But, interestingly enough, hardly anyone knows his/her
Moon sign. Even though the
Moon sign is the next most important planetary placement in a person's chart, very few people actually know what sign their
Moon is placed in. Use the "Calculate" link above to help you locate the placement of the
Moon and other planets for you on your date of birth.
The
Moon is the fastest moving "planetary" cycle in the astrological chart. The
Moon's location within our chart helps to define our emotional state of development. Some astrologers believe that the
Moon's placement is the unconscious side of our personality. Our emotions may be formed subconsiously, but we know what we feel when we feel it, making it very conscious to us at a very personal level. Although we may not share these feelings as openly as we share our Sun traits, our Moon traits are where we intuitively go to find comfort, inner peace, childhood memories, or where the emotions of jealousy, rage, and hate reside in our psyche. The
Moon's placement in our charts also influence other senses such as sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch. These are all connected directly to our subconscious memories. In a sense, our
Moon sign is very important in that it helps to make us different from everyone else within our Sun sign.
