Why Your Moon Sign Is Important
The most important thing you need to know is that your Moon sign is just as significant as your Sun sign and will describe your innate personality, or the parts of you driven mostly by instinct and emotion.
We all have needs, and your Moon sign reveals those things that bring you comfort and a sense of normality. In this way, your needs are described by your Moon sign and are an essential part of your personality.
It’s really important to remember that your Moon sign is just as important as your Sun (or Star) Sign. Together with your Sun Sign, your Moon and Rising signs make up the triad of your personality. You can’t really make sense of one without comparing it with the others.
We have put together this great resource to help you compare your Sun, Moon and Rising Signs
When you are young, the qualities of your Moon sign can be much more obvious than your Zodiac or Sun sign. This is one reason why you may not notice your Sun Sign so strongly in yourself as you do in other people?
It’s really important to know that whilst your Sun Sign describes the qualities that you are learning to develop and become as you mature, your Moon Sign describes who you already are.
Attitudes and responses you learned from your early home environment, especially from your mother, are symbolically represented by your Moon sign. You really need to include your Moon sign if you want to understand your astrological makeup
Know The Difference – Your Sun and Moon Sign
Here’s a simple way to think of it. Your Sun sign represents your core motives that lead you to fulfilment and your Moon sign shows your innate needs. The combination of your Sun Moon and Rising signs is called The Big Three in astrology and together they represent the foundation of your unique personality
If you think of your life story as a cosmic play then because the Sun is at the centre of the solar system Your Sun Sign describes the central or lead actor in the drama that is you.
As the lead character, The Sun is always interacting with every other planet (or character). Because of this, everything in your astrology chart must in some way connect back to the central story that The Sun describes.
We can think of your Moon Sign therefore as the supporting actor or co-lead in this story. The Moon fills out the script and makes it realistic and believable. Equally as important in terms of your overall personality, together the Sun and Moon combine to form the basis of your unique personality.
