Natal Moon in Pisces

Having your Natal Moon in the last of the water signs is a very special, soulful placement indeed! Pisces, the 12^th and final sign of the zodiac, symbolises spirituality, sacrifice, service to humanity and compassion. This is the sign of the archetypal Mystic, the Dreamer and the Helper. 

This sign can also be the archetypal Escapist, and in some ways, the Addict – with Neptune being the modern ruler of Pisces, there can be a danger of running away from reality and becoming unhealthily attached to habits which can numb you out in order to not have to deal with the world. Your Pisces Moon needs a great deal of mindful presence and tender compassion, and a wonderful way to nurture your Moon sign is to develop healthy escapes such as reading, nature, music or surfing. 

The main reason for this need to escape is mainly because your Moon is a water sign – Water Moon people are highly sensitive and deeply intuitive, and like a sponge, you soak up every “vibe” around you, sometimes blurring the boundary between you and others. This can lead to feelings of overwhelm and confusion, as you struggle to carry yours and other’s emotional energy. Hence, you try and “run away”, and if you find these healthier and more soulful escapes, you will find a great deal more emotional peace and tranquillity. There’s nothing more lovely to a Pisces Moon than doing a gentle yoga class with their favourite music in the background, preferably in a lush spot where you can tune out the world and tune into yourself. The music is particularly important, and many Pisces Moon people are excellent musicians themselves (though they shy away from fame), or simply love collecting music, as well as dancing. Dancing is a fantastic way to release pent up feelings, and can be extremely healing for your Pisces Moon. 

You’ll have to try your best to avoid drugs and alcohol – not only because they’re addictive for you, but because you will tend to be hyper-sensitive to them. A small dose or a little drink can affect you very strongly, and can be very tempting for you to keep going back to when life becomes too intense. A Pisces Moon ideally needs a lifestyle that is not too full of pressure and responsibility – it’s ideal for you to have family or a partner who can take care of the practical things in life, whilst you provide the caring, loving and selfless emotional support that you are so well known for. Pisces Moon people make wonderful healers, and often, simply being in your presence can offer someone else a great deal of comfort. This is your special gift, and one that can be deeply appreciated by others. 

It’s important that you learn boundaries, however, as you may tend to support and give, and extend yourself to a point where you may be taken advantage of. And because you are not the type to get angry or hurt anyone, you may end up carrying inner resentment around, becoming the typical martyr or even feeling the victim of other’s transgressions against you. Hence, setting up clear boundaries right from the beginning – as hard as that is – is an absolute essential in your life, lest it become your Achilles Heel! 

A great strength of yours is your Pisces Moon is the ability to be flexible and adaptable; and you’re easily able to just “go with the flow” as the situation arises. You also have an uncanny ability to sense what will come up, and adjust accordingly, making you seem very psychic – and indeed, some of you are! It becomes very important to listen to your gut so that you can tap into the flow of life – when you do this, you will find yourself in the most fortunate of situations. The sign of Pisces’ ancient ruler is Jupiter, the “lucky” planet, which indicates that you always land on your feet, no matter how intense life gets. 

You are also able to allow your moods to flow and change, and you never hold onto a negative emotion for too long – your very essence is forgiving, and no matter how many times someone has crossed you, you’ll always find it in your heart to understand where they were in that moment, holding them in compassion and extending that to them as a gesture of love. Of course, once again, you’ll have to be careful of being take advantage of, but by those who know and love you, this is a very strong quality and something that helps you to move past old hurts that you truly consider to be no longer an issue. 

It’s extremely important for your Moon sign to always have a “way out”– whether it’s a relationship, a job or another situation, you need to be able to have the option of “swimming away” – even if you never do. Just having that loophole, even if it’s inward, will be comforting to you and give you a sense of safety. This may be come across to some people as non-committal, and indeed, you can be a touch fickle seeming at times, as you duck and dive away from suffocating situations, so you’ll have to build a sense of awareness how this may affect those around you. 

Your greatest gifts as a Pisces Moon are your gifts of sensitivity, compassion forgiveness, unconditional love for others and your ability to be completely sacrificing. You are profoundly creative, musical, in touch and can be very spiritual indeed. Your emotional softness and tender support are a gift to your family, your children and your partner, who will hold you in high value for your ability to always put them first. When you develop your gifts and avoid escaping or becoming a victim of your own sensitivity, you can be someone who affects other’s lives in a wonderful way, leaving a sense of being wholly accepted as they are. Your Pisces Moon is a wonderful superpower, and all you have to do is realise it! 

Natal Moon in Aquarius

The last of the air signs, Aquarius is a lovely, cool, and unique placement for a Natal Moon. Like all air sign Moons, your tendency is to express your feelings through talking and communicating about them – frequently. When you understand your emotions on a mental level and feel heard, you feel secure and emotionally at peace. Your airy Moon sign also creates a certain level of detachment from your feelings, expressed as an ability to step back and see things objectively and rationally, rather than giving in to over-reactions. 

This quality lends you a cool air, a sense of remoteness at times, and whilst you’re always friendly and kind hearted to everyone, with a willing and understanding ear, you’re not one for much affection or “messy” emotion. You may even view others who are more reactive or sensitive than you as somewhat weak, and may feel quite alienated from their process. However, these more sensitive types have a lot to teach you, in terms of really allowing yourself to feel your feelings, rather than only talk about them. This may be an invaluable lesson to learn – and there really is nothing that you love more than learning! Through this, you can come to learn that rationality is not always the only, or the best approach to feelings, and that some emotions just can’t be understood. 

It’s also important to remember that you need your friends, for as cool, detached and self sufficient as you are, you thrive when you’re in a group of people who share your same dreams and goals, who believe in the same causes as you. Community as a concept, is what makes you feel the most fulfilled and connected in life, and it’s important for you to seek out those connections in life. Loneliness or lack of friendship is a sure-fire way to depression for your Aquarius Moon, and so you tend to surround yourself with people whom you love, and you are often someone who is very popular indeed!  

Aquarius is a “fixed” sign, which means that you tend to be somewhat rigid emotionally, and that you may hold onto a feeling much longer than you should. For example, though you’re not the type to get angry, you may hold onto the emotion of anger – coolly expressed – for many a moon, letting it eat you up inside! Your challenge is to release and allow feelings to flow away from you, and to not hold on so very tightly. The upside to this quality is loyalty – you hold onto positive feelings too, and as a friend or partner, you can be deeply faithful and committed. If that friendship or love is betrayed in any way, you can very smoothly cut someone off, becoming totally cold, yet remaining friendly. It’s important for you that friendship and loyalty is held as high of a value to others as it is for you. 

Aquarian Moons are the inventors of the zodiac, unique, original and quirky. You need to be a little different, to stand out from the crowd in some ways. This can translate as dressing in a way that is very individualistic, or taking up a cause for the underdog. You feel very strongly connected to humanity, and it’ll be important for you to align yourself with an ideal that gives meaning to your life. You may choose fighting for women’s rights, or stand up for the LGBQT community – anything that allows freedom for others is an important topic for you. 

On that note, you yourself need a great deal of space and freedom to do your own thing in life, and the important relationships in your life will need to accommodate that. When you feel suffocated by clingy people or claustrophobic situations, your tendency is to rebel and become rather stubborn about your space – which is a much-needed reaction to an all-important emotional need. If you don’t have your freedom, you can feel extremely despondent and may suddenly break free – unexpectedly and to the sometimes-shock of others. 

This tendency to shock doesn’t only extend to your need for freedom but also your overall personality. You are someone who may be called eccentric and a rebel, and you may get quite a bit of enjoyment from pushing the envelope. You’re also someone who is virtually unshockable and nothing is too taboo or weird for you! In fact, the stranger, the better – you deeply appreciate people and stories from all walks of life, and your array for rag-tag friends are a testament to this quality! 

You’re a wonderful and true friend, and someone who others will find funny, quirky and steadfast. Your romantic partner will be your best friend in the world, and you will be much loved due to your emotional reliability and rationality in a crisis. You’ll need to, at times, learn to stop thinking and overanalysing too much as this may cause anxiety – try and get out into nature where you can feel grounded and get out of your head a little. 

As a parent, you are fun and open minded, cool and progressive, and your own relationship to your Mother should be friendly and quite easy-going, if a touch cool. You’re not much of a domestic goddess or god, but you make up for it by being everybody’s best friend. Your home is a place of learning and curiosity, and you’ll fill it with books and knowledge, which you absolutely love! 

Your greatest gifts in life is your unique spirit, your strangeness, your friendliness and your progressive energy. Your Aquarius Moon means that you always find something to learn, somewhere and helps you see life philosophically – with a new lesson every step of the way! This, and your natural teaching ability, goes a very long way indeed when tackling challenges, and others will see you as a source of wonderful knowledge and information, making you into a true wiseman or woman as you continue to grow. Make sure that you always live closely aligned to your highest ideals, and temper it with groundedness and practicality to make your dreams come true. 

Natal Moon in Capricorn

The Moon naturally rules the water sign of Cancer, and hence having your natal Moon in the opposite sign – Capricorn – may feel somewhat uncomfortable, especially early in life. On an emotional level, there may be a difficulty expressing yourself fully, and though you may not always be aware of it, you could repress your feelings in order to “get on with business”. Unlike a Moon in Cancer, there is no “easy flow” of emotion, which may make you appear to be a little cold to some, though you are extremely tender inside. 

Life will teach you how to learn to open up and share your deepest vulnerabilities with others, though it won’t always be easy! As a child, you tend to take on most of the responsibility in the family and may grow up rather fast. Your relationship with your Mother – the archetype symbolised by the Moon – may be at times difficult, as you potentially feel controlled or hampered by her needs. This can mature later in life to a strong, faithful bond, although you’ll have to do some work around learning to detach from wanting to take all the responsibility! 

Being an earth sign Moon, your gift is groundedness and practicality when you deal with emotions. Not one for over-reacting, you navigate your emotional world with a sense of pragmatism and good sense.  When things become challenging in life, you tend to throw your energy into something tangible and solid, something that will make you feel secure. This talent may become a need to control or structure too much in life, and you may need to try and release to just go with the flow at times – this will help you deal with many anxieties that you have about the future a little better. 

This self-same talent will also lead to great career success for you – Capricorn Moon people are highly ambitious and very accomplished indeed. Having your own business or being the top of a company comes naturally and easy to you. This, once again, is an indicator of you throwing your energy into work when you feel too many emotions rise up – you find a lot of peace and stability in your work. You’ll have to watch for your career becoming overly important at the expense or your relationships, as you could spend one too many hours at the office, neglecting those nearest and dearest to you. 

As a Capricorn Moon, structure and rules will take great importance in your life, and you’ll need to have certain guidelines to make you feel safe and secure, nourished and nurtured. For example, having a home and money in the bank as well as investments, insurance and plans will all go a long way to help you to relax. You may need to, at times, find ways to also indulge your spiritual and emotional side, such as getting into nature frequently, and connecting with the earth around you. This can feel grounding and extremely nourishing to your soul, and gently help to soften your sometimes-rigid boundaries. 

When you relax these boundaries, you’ll find the people around you stepping in to hold space for your vulnerability, and that there was nothing to ever be afraid of! This may feel like a relief, as you tend to carry a great deal of responsibility for everyone and everything, and though you enjoy it, it can put a lot of strain on you. some Capricorn Moon people may suffer from low moods at times, and so this learning to let others take control at times is an essential component of your overall emotional health. It will also be very important for you to practice gratitude, as your realistic attitude can at times becomes a little pessimistic and you could take yourself so seriously that life becomes a touch dreary. Although false positivity is not your thing, you could certainly do with some play and fun at times! 

A great source of play and fun may be your children, as they teach you the value of being less serious – they can bring out your dry humour, and help you to connect with your own inner child, which could be rather neglected. Once you allow yourself that moment of fun, you could find yourself letting go and stepping into a lighter version of yourself! You’ll be a wonderfully responsible parent in time, and will always go above and beyond the call of duty for your little ones. 

Even if you don’t have children, you’ll do the same for your partner and family, and whilst others may see these things as a duty or a burden, you are the type that naturally assumes the authoritative role, mimicking your power in the workplace. Whether male or female, you like to be in a position where you can provide and take care of others in a practical, real way! 

Your natural authority gets you far in life, and you will always be the type who assumes a leadership role – you prefer to be the person who is the initiator, and you don’t do too well under authority. Hence, having your own business, or at least being in charge of your own department is crucial for you to feel fulfilled. Your partner may have to adjust to your tendency to be in this role, and at times, you’ll need to try and not control too much, to give them the opportunity to flourish and bloom, too. 

It’s not always easy being a Capricorn Moon, but it can be very rewarding when you learn to lean on others just a little, and to trust and open up to your innermost feelings. Life will be full of achievement for you, professional and personal, and you’ll be the rock that others turn to in times of trouble. Responsibility is your crowning quality, and groundedness your strength, and though you have your challenges, you will always manage to overcome them and come out on top. You’ll just have to trust the process, and when you’re struggling up a steep slope, make sure to keep your eyes on the prize and your goals as a compass to your eventual success! 

Natal Moon in Sagittarius

The last of the fire sign, Sagittarius, is a buoyant, optimistic and fun-loving energy, and can be one of the very best fire placements for the Moon. Like the other fire signs, you’ll be immensely warm, passionate and authentic when expressing yourself emotionally, and you possess a fiercely loving heart. And, like all fire sign signs, you’ll have a propensity towards a bit of a temper, and may at times lash out heatedly at the ones around you. 

Fortunately for you, however, Sagittarius is a mutable sign, which means that although you may lash out, you let go quickly. Mutable signs are all about change, and so your feelings can shift from passionate anger, to warm optimism in a few moments. This flexibility can be a great gift in terms of moving quickly through your feelings, yet you’ll have to be mindful of how you affect others around you, particularly more sensitive types. A Pisces, Scorpio or Cancer Moon person may feel deeply hurt by your quick temper, and may struggle to let go of an argument, even if you have moved on long ago! 

Your Sagittarius Moon is also very direct emotionally – you say how you feel, and you don’t bother putting a much of a filter on. This makes you beautifully truthful when it comes to emotional expression, and always lets others know where you stand. However, a filter may sometimes be needed, or you may suffer from “foot in mouth” syndrome at times, and regret the feelings you expressed in a flash of impulsiveness. One of your biggest emotional lessons is to learn to tame that compulsiveness from time to time! 

Your planetary ruler is Jupiter, which is the biggest and best of the planets in the zodiac. Jupiter bestows luck, growth, expansion and fortune, and is a lovely planet to have in charge of your natal moon sign. You’ll find that you often land on your feet in life, no matter how tough things may get – it’s as if you have nine lives! Because of this, your nature is to take a bit of a risk, a bit of a gamble, knowing how lucky you usually come out at the end. What also helps is your always-positive attitude to life – no matter how down and out things may seem, you’ll manage to see the silver living and find the optimism in every situation. 

This positivity can be contagious, and you’ll likely have many warm, close friendships and connections. You need to have fun in life, whether that’s on a dancefloor, or by jumping on a plane to explore, you’ll find a great deal of emotional fulfilment when you’re having a good time. At times, you may be a little hedonistic and may imbibe too much of a good thing – it’s important to learn to tame your excesses, lest you find yourself with big waistlines and a bigger hole in your bank account! One day, you’ll have to realise that responsibility is a good balance to the fun you can have, and that it doesn’t mean prison! Many Sagittarian Moons avoid responsibility wherever they can, or at the very least, hate having to be the one to carry the load. You’ll always look for ways to escape heavy duties, and usually find them – though there can be a price to pay. 

Some may call you fickle, as your feelings shift often – which they do. You may be in love one day and out the other, especially if your partner can’t handle the truth. You don’t like emotional heaviness, which, for some people, can be seen as fickle or uncaring. It is important to try and be more aware of when you are shutting others’ feelings down because you can’t stand anything too serious.

Travelling is a serious need for most Sagittarian Moon people. If you’re not on a plane at least once a year, you may get a little despondent, and you’ll need to find other ways to fulfil this part of yourself. Studying, practicing something like yoga or learning something interesting are all ways to stoke your fire and keep growing in life. Many of you could find that physical activity is a great way to let off steam and keep you feeling as if life is a continual adventure. 

You’ll also need some kind of guiding philosophy in life, preferably of a spiritual nature. It can be as simple as yoga, or as deep as adopting Hinduism. As long as it feeds your sense of right and wrong, and gives you a moral compass to point your life towards, it will feel good for you. You particularly love exploring other beliefs and cultures, it feeds your traveller side, and helps you to develop a wider world philosophy. Many may find you quite deep, once they get past your party side! 

Family and love will be important to you, as long as they don’t hold you back. You need to feel free within any relationship, and must have the opportunity to develop your own interests. Clinginess isn’t welcome, and you’re likely to enjoy a positive connection with you own Mother, though temperamental and volatile at times. Domestically, you may shy away from routine and being too bored, yet you’ll make a fun, easy-going and open-minded parent, once you decide to settle down. 

Your partners need to be a spiritual match, as well as a match for your sense of adventure, and not too sensitive emotionally – they’ll benefit from your sense of optimism and exuberant, bright and vital spirit, and admire how you can bounce back from life challenge’s, ever philosophical and ready to let go and move on. 

Your Sagittarius Moon is a wonderful blessing, and you can have incredible adventures in life, always looking on the bright side and being inspiring and warm to the people around you. You’ll find yourself lucky more than once, always protected and guided by a seemingly mysterious force who is always on the lookout for you – and you know it. 

Natal Moon in Scorpio

When it comes to astrology, the planets can be “comfortable” in certain signs, and less comfortable in others. The Moon particularly loves being in Cancer and Taurus, though fares less well in Capricorn and Scorpio, the signs opposite to her natural “home”. 

Hence, if you have a Scorpio Moon, it’s likely that you have faced some intense difficulties in your life, especially on an emotional level, but also on a domestic one – for example, your relationships to your partner or family. It’s important for a Scorpio Moon to feel extremely safe, nourished and loved, especially in your more difficult emotional moments, as your greatest fear can be one of abandonment – though you’ll never show it. Scorpio is a fixed sign, meaning you can control your feelings very well indeed, though you may struggle to let them flow and change. A grudge can be held forever, yet in the same vein, you can love deeply, and for a very, very long time. 

With Scorpio being a water sign, your feelings run deep, like a vast, still lake. On the surface, you may appear very together and calm, yet beneath your cool, somewhat remote attitude, there’s are always powerful emotions churning. It takes very long for someone to get to know what those feelings are, and you may take a while to truly open up and allow someone into your very sensitive and vulnerable heart. Once you do, only that person or a few chosen people get to see the intensity that is you. More often though, you tend to withdraw and need time on your own to process things, and may need a very understanding partner for that. 

Having a Scorpio Moon also means you have a “sting”. When you are hurt, you may seldom show it, and instead react with a sharp attack, to protect your feelings. You may inadvertently hurt others around you, though if someone has betrayed you intentionally, you will not hold back! You expect complete loyalty and give the same in return. 

One thing you’ll have to watch for in life is a potential, powerful need to control the feelings or actions of others around you. This may be due to having been controlled, perhaps through your mother or another female figure in your life. Your mom or family may have a strong hold on you, and your challenge is to break free of that, as well as allow others room and space to feel how they are feeling, and not to hold on so tightly. When you surrender and let go, you will allow others to do the same and may find that life becomes less dramatic. 

Speaking of drama, when you do show your heart, you show it without restraint. You either love very deeply indeed, or you hate very strongly, sometimes without much of a distinction between the two. Your emotions are extreme, and you may come across as overly dramatic at times – yet the ones who love you will be able to hold that space and understand that this is a part of you. 

On the home front, you need total surety and security – your home is your haven, a place to contain your intense energies and keep the rest of the world out when you need time for yourself. You’ll likely keep your home a place of family and close friends only, and may be less inclined to entertain too much in your private space Privacy as a theme is very important for you in general, and is something you need often! 

Many Scorpio Moons need that privacy in their workplace, space to investigate and explore. Scorpio Moon people can make excellent psychologists, as you are unafraid of the “dark” in others, having witnessed your own darkness up close and personal. You’re also a remarkably trustworthy person, and keep your secrets very close indeed, as well as the secrets of others. You don’t easily reveal what this one or the other had to say, though you’ll keenly pick up what others are saying and store it in your extremely retentive memory. You may get quite obsessed with certain subjects, and it’s important for you to have a mental focus to throw your energy at, lest you overthink and create problems where there are none. Being a Scorpio Moon also means being very ambitious, and needing to wield a great deal of power in the workplace – which you often do! You’re great at picking up subtleties and using them to your advantage when needed. 

Scorpio Moon people also love crime dramas, and are born investigators! You’re highly intuitive, and it’s almost impossible to hide a secret from you – your partner will need to be sure not to try and hide anything from you, as you will generally pick things up very instinctively. That said, try not to be too paranoid, as some Scorpio Moon types may see shadows lurking around every corner – being so fearful of betrayal can leave you feeling driven to know absolutely everything about your partner, which can feel somewhat invasive at times. 

When you’re settled and secure in love – you really desire to be in a relationship – you are steadfast, loyal and strong. You understand your partner like no one else, and you give off a slightly mysterious, very sexy energy. Your sexuality is important to you, as is passion and attraction, and so you’ll always keep your relationships interesting! You love to transform yourself often, and often attract huge life experiences which allow for this constant and dramatic change. This may feel, at times, in conflict with your essential nature, which is to crave stability, so you’ll have to make peace with both of these conflicting desires. For you, it’s all or nothing, so when change does come, learn to let go and embrace the new with open arms! 

Having a Scorpio Moon is by no means easy, but it can be a deeply spiritual, sensitive, powerful and insightful Moon sign to have, one which can experience transformative experiences in all areas of life, and always emerge stronger on the other side. You are the typical “dark and sexy” type, and possess a powerful, keen and probing mind which be your greatest asset in your life.  

Natal Moon in Libra

Out of all of the air signs, Libra is the most loving, romantic and affectionate one of them all. Your Moon sign is orientated towards not only socialising, like Aquarius and Gemini, but also towards relating to others on a more intimate level. You will adore being in a relationship, whether it’s a close, one-on-one friendship, or a traditional love relationship. Few Libran Moons are single for long, however, since you thrive at your best when balanced with a partner to share your lives with. 

Many people wouldn’t necessarily call Libra a leader, as you come across as peacemakers and always ready to compromise – which you are – but on a very subtle level, your Moon sign is a very effective initiator. You are the ones who will start a relationship, initiate a social event, begin a friendship. You’ll do it in a way that is non-pushy, which leads to the impression that you are not the ones to call the shots. However, being a Cardinal sign, you cannot help but start things! 

The reason why relationships are so important to your natal Moon type is because Libra is a sign ruled by the planet Venus, who rules matters of the heart, romance, flirting, connection, creativity and values. Even if you are in a committed partnership, you’ll still give off a powerfully sexy, flirtatious energy – light, sweet and gracious to all. It’s best if your Moon sign doesn’t have a partner who is too jealous or possessive, otherwise problems may arise not only for you, but also to the sense of security for your partners. It’s important to remember that a Libra Moon will seldom cheat, since you value your relationship to such a high degree, despite the attention you attract and often enjoy. 

Being a Libra Moon, you express your feelings in a fairly diplomatic and light manner – seldom do you get mired in an emotional bog. Like all the air signs, you tend to rationalise your emotions, and find peace talking about how you feel. Communication is a very real need for your Moon sign to feel secure and loved, and if you are ignored by your loved ones, it can be very difficult for you to cope. Your partners need to have an open door for mental connection, and understand that you’ll not be the type to cry on their shoulder, though you require a listening ear. You will do the same, and help your partners and friends make sense of their often-confusing emotions, which can make you very valued indeed. 

One of the reasons why your Moon sign prefers to talks about feelings is also because you hate confrontation, and any unpleasantness – you will go to great lengths to avoid conflict, and your chosen tool is your sense of fairness and ability to negotiate. An environment which is tense, heavy or angry is enough to send a typical Libran Moon running for the hills – which not always to your benefit, as you may sweep a great deal under the carpet or turn to people pleasing to fend off the mounting problems. This may lead to resentment down the line, and so you will need to try your best to deal with issues no matter how ugly or unpleasant they are. 

This avoidance of tension extends to your personal environment too. Libran Moon people need a lot of beauty around them and often have stunning homes. Your Moon sign has excellent and refined tastes, and a strong eye for good artwork and design. Once again, if you find yourself in an “ugly” place, you can become rather emotional distressed and tense, and may try and find ways of making it better in some way, unless, of course, you can avoid it entirely. 

This quality does make for a home that is peaceful and calm, however, and your home will be your pride and joy.  You’ll just love to entertain your friends and family here, and it’s likely that your home will be the chosen spot for lively dinners, replete with delicious foods and expensive wines. You love nice things, and have a side to you that is very indulgent – from food to fashion, you like the good life and it’s important for you enjoy physical pleasure to the fullest. Being a Libra Moon, you also tend to like looking good, and you’ll take great care of yourself on a physical level. Libra is a sign that is well known for its looks, and you should be no exception. 

You’re a wonderful, gracious host and usually very popular with others, due to your charm and ability to be nice to everyone, no matter who they are or where they come from. You effortlessly attract love to your life, and so even should you find yourself distressingly) single, you’ll have a collection of people to pick from! Your Moon sign is naturally feminine, so even if you’re a man, you’ll have easy and fluid relationships with the women in your life, and have no shame in expressing your more feminine side

Your other relationships – specifically your family relationships – are usually good too. However, once again, it may be surface level due to your avoidance of underlying problems, and you’ll have to always keep an eye out of that tendency to please everyone as the expense of yourself. Your challenge may be to dive deeper under the surface and face the problems that are in every family. 

Having a Libran Moon sign can be a very lucky gift in life, and one that will give you endlessly good times, charm, grace and popularity with others. You will possess with immense creative gifts in life, and may be a designer or artist yourself, working in fashion, beauty, music or find yourself in personal relations. Your Moon sign can get you very far in life, and will always make you stand out from the crowd in the most positive sense! 

Natal Moon in Virgo

The natal Moon in Virgo is a grounded, earthy, practical one, yet without the “stuckness” of the other earth signs, Taurus and Capricorn. Like clay, your Moon sign is mouldable and much more flexible and adaptable than others, and you’re able to keep your feet firmly on the ground as well as cope with changes in life more easily. This is an incredible advantage and strength of having a Virgo Moon sign, as you’ll always be level-headed without the problem of becoming stubborn. Being an Earth Moon sign means that you are seldom reactive, and try to always approach your emotions calmly. 

The symbol of Virgo is the Virgin, or the maiden, which means that in many ways, you are, at heart, timid and rather reserved, wherever your other planets may be. You prefer to stay in the background, carefully noticing and analysing everything that is going on, before you openly engage. This is only untrue if you have many planets in fire or air, which may make you a touch more social than the average Virgo Moon person. 

Speaking of air, many would mistake you for an air Moon sign, because you are extremely communicative and highly intelligent – you tend to think about your feelings often, sometimes more than “feeling” them. Talking about your emotions is very important to you, and this is because the planet that rules the mind – Mercury – is the natural ruler of the sign of Virgo. This indicates someone who is a critical thinker, and who has a need to continually communicate. 

However, there is a danger with this Moon sign of becoming over-analytical and overthinking, especially when certain feelings just aren’t rational, or have no apparent reason for being there. This may be distressing for some Virgo Moon people, and the trick is to take the edge off the thinking by either getting into nature, or getting into your body physically, through exercise for example. 

Virgo Moons hence always need to be aware of when a thought, related to a feeling, becomes slightly obsessive and turns into a worry, or even a neurosis. As a Virgo Moon, you have a strong tendency to worry about all the things you can’t fix. Perfectionism is a need for you, and you hate it when things don’t have a particular order. It becomes essential for you to let certain things go, and realise that you can’t fix everything and everyone. This will help you go a long way to overcoming your tendency to anxiety. 

What may also help is reaching out to others who need your help – for example, making time at the local animal rescue, or volunteering at a soup kitchen. You feel emotionally at peace when you are able to help others in a useful, practical way – this truly feeds your soul. It can be other, small favours you do too, such as helping a friend with a lift, assisting a family member with their tax returns (you love numbers) or doing the household errands for your partner. These things all have a calming effect on you, and help to turn down your overthinking. 

What also sets your soul at peace is making lists – as many as possible. When life ever gets overwhelming or your mind gets cluttered, take a pen and paper, and write it all down. This is a guaranteed way to make sense of the chaos and take control of it, and your loved ones will appreciate your organisational abilities too! 

This organisational capability may or may not extend into your chosen career path. Many Virgo Moon people become office managers, accountants, economists or data analysers of some sort. It makes you feel very good when you can make sense of numbers and statistics, and give you an immense feeling of satisfaction. 

Your nourishment can also come from a good routine in life – from your food, to the exercise you choose, the time you wake up and the time you go to bed – these are all anchors that help you find grounding and make you feel held and safe. Disruptions to your routine, despite your flexibility, can be an emotional trigger for you and make you grumpier than most, Fortunately, you are adaptable and will usually find a new and more efficient way to do things! However, it is best for you to have this safety net as it keeps you emotionally calm. 

Eating well is likely the most crucial part of your routine, and you’re the type of Moon sign that regularly likes to detox or turn to a natural, raw diet. Your digestion tends to be very sensitive, and so you may life a very “clean” lifestyle, as simple and fuss-free as possible, both in food and in habits. You’ll generally dislike processed foods for the effect they have on you health-wise, and you’ll go out for your way to make good, wholesome, healthy meals for your loved ones. 

Virgo Moons tend to have a kind, peaceful relationship with your partner, though you’ll have to watch for your tendency to criticise and find flaws. Being gentle towards yourself – meaning to judge yourself less for your own imperfections – and then being gentle on your partner is important to keep that peace that you so treasure. This also applies to the relationship you may have with your mother, which may also have a critical edge at times, yet may also be very grounding. 

A Virgo Moon essentially wants to be of service to others, keep life simple, and live in a way that is secure and predictable to certain degree. You have the kindest heart around, despite your tendency to judgement, and you’re always ready to lend a helping hand, which is one of your most treasured qualities. 

Natal Moon in Leo 

The second of the fire signs, Leo, is one of the warmest and most consistent, confident and optimistic signs in all the zodiac. With the Moon essentially symbolising the emotional life, your Moon in Leo will make you someone who others will instantly connect to, due to your inner sunniness and positive attitude. 

Moon in Leo people often go through big challenges in life, simply because they are the most emotionally equipped to deal with difficulties, and emerge with their hearts intact – sometimes even stronger. Being a Leo Moon means you love with all your heart, and it takes a great deal for you to let go of that. It is only if someone has betrayed your loyalties and attentions over and over again, do you realise that you need to let go, and once you do, you’ll never look back. Because you are fixed in your emotional nature, you hold onto a feeling for a long, long time, hence why you love so powerfully for so long. 

Leo is also the sign of the Lion/Lioness, which makes you fiercely protective of your “pack”. Your family always comes first, along with your chosen life partner – but most of all, your children will be the ones that you lavish your devotion on, and defend with your last breath. You have a powerful need to provide for those you care about, which translates into huge generosity and habit of giving very easily. You’ll not think twice about spoiling your loved ones and making sure that they have the very best of the best. Of course, you won’t stint on yourself either, and you adore pampering yourself in ways that make you feel looked after and groomed. Both men and women with this Moon sign often have a gorgeous mane of hair that you take very good care of, and a glamorous, expensive wardrobe to boost. Looking good is an emotional need for you, and a matter of pride – you know how to do it well! 

Many Leo Moon people can be performers, actors and dancers, loving to express yourself creatively through the arts. You could very much enjoy being on a stage, especially when young, and may revel when you’re in the spotlight. Many Leo Moon people become managers, social event coordinators or project heads – Leo is a sign that loves to lead, and you have a natural royalty and authority about you. However, you’ll have to be mindful of becoming bossy or dominating, as you may – unintentionally – not always be aware of the needs of others or even struggle to distinguished their needs from your own. It will be important for you to learn that you won’t always be able to call the shots for someone else, as much as you may just want to help. 

Your Leo Moon sign can also make you someone that needs a great deal of love and attention in return from your family, friends and partners. As much as you spoil and are generous towards others, you need the same treatment back, and may get rather put out when you feel dismissed or ignored. Although you may hide it under a show of confidence and pride, you may be deeply hurt inside that someone would forget you. You may lash out in a temper or become extremely demanding as there is no “small” emotion with you – you have a tendency to become extremely dramatic over seemingly little things. Your loved ones will need to be sure to give you plenty of loving attention, which makes you purr like nothing else, and expands your already huge heart to give more of yourself. After all, being emotionally dramatic also makes you feel more of the good feelings, like love and happiness for example. 

Domestically, you’ll like to have a fine looking home filled with things that are grand, luxurious and probably quite expensive. Your home needs to reflect who you are, and may have elegant pieces of artwork, photograph of loved ones and yourself and plenty of mirrors to admire yourself! A walk-in closet is a dream for a female Leo Moon, or a great big TV for a man is ideal. 

It’s important for a Leo Moon to find nurturing through creativity and play – when you are too busy working, caring and doing the day to day, you may forget to access that inner child and let your spirit loose. This is one of the very few things that can make you feel emotionally low in the long term, so making sure you have an outlet is absolutely key. Many Leo Moons also love being active – being a fire sign assures that you will have plenty of physical hobbies Whether it’s yoga, dance, Pilates, running or hitting the gym, you’ll want to keep yourself in tip top shape. 

A Leo Moon is an outgoing Moon, which means that you have a strong circle of loved ones around you at any give time. One of your closest friends may or may not be your own mother. Although you are very strong willed emotionally, you will be loyal to her until she proves you wrong, and even then, you’ll still be rather protective. Your relationship may get easier the longer you have been out of her house, creating your own space, ruling your own home. Your stubbornness and occasionally hot temper may have caused some difficulties when young, but usually dissipate as you have your own children and devote yourself wholly to rearing them with pride and skill. 

Your Moon in Leo can be a wonderful blessing to yourself, and to everyone around you. It’s easy to love and be loved with this Moon, and despite any setbacks, you’ll always bounce back with confidence and grace. Your creativity is a gift to be nurtured and your pride in yourself an inspiration to all who meet you. A Leo Moon is meant for leadership and can go very far in life, once you learn to always validate and believe in yourself. 

Natal Moon in Cancer

The Moon, by her very nature of her connection to the tides here on earth, is a watery, sensitive energy, and works extremely well when placed in a zodiac sign of the same element – Cancer, Pisces and to some degree, Scorpio. Symbolising emotions and feelings, people who have their Moon in a water sign tend to be more in tune with their deepest intuitive needs and able to express their hearts more openly. 

Hence, you can count yourself lucky if you have your Moon in Cancer – and not only because this is a water sign, but also because the Moon rules the sign of the Crab, and so is placed “in her home”, so to speak. A planet in their own home – called “domicile” in astrology – functions perfectly to their natures, without having to necessarily try. Whilst others may struggle to connect to their emotions, you have a direct line – sometimes painfully so – but a direct connection nonetheless, which serves as a great blessing, if you learn to appreciate this gift! 

A Cancer Moon is highly sensitive, feeling every little thing within and without, and you may struggle at first, as you try and “turn off” your emotional switch. However, this is a switch that should be kept on and dialled up, as it is the very thing that makes you so connected to your loved ones. You are the person who others may call in a crisis, as you empathise and understand feelings like no other and can so easily relate to every emotion. You show your care by making a cup of tea or a heart-warming meal, and listening to a problem without trying to “solve” it. You’ll always go beyond yourself to make sure others feel heard and nurtured which is, in a sense, what will make you a great parent one day – whether it’s a parent of a little human being or an animal or three! You adore taking care of others, and need to have someone to lavish your love and tenderness on. 

Sometimes it can be hard to feel as much as you do, and you may often wish to have a moment’s break, where you can step out of your powerful emotion world and take a breather. It therefore becomes extremely important that you do this for yourself, finding physical or creative outlets for your feelings and allow them to be processed without turning too much inward. 

Many of you will have immense creative gifts and a powerful imagination, which can either be put to use making something beautiful, such as a story or a piece of art (this can be a delicious meal or a mural painting!) or can be misused in the form of worry. When you get too imaginative, you may conjure up stories in your mind of things going wrong, of loved ones getting hurt, or even yourself being hurt by the ones you love. You may need to be sure to watch this powerful imagination so that it does not make up untrue stories, which can hurt you in the process. Channelling your feelings into a tangible creation is an excellent use of these energies, and you may be someone that can achieve a great deal when you allow yourself to tap in, tune out and let things flow. 

Most Cancerian Moons are extremely introverted, and your home is your castle. If you are in a home space that is, in any way, harsh or uncomfortable, you will likely suffer very deeply. You need your space to be extremely private, much like the shell that surrounds the crab. You will often need to “hermit”, and your space will have to reflect that. You’ll likely enjoy kitting out a kitchen where you can spend a lot of time baking and cooking, and may enjoy tending to a thriving herb garden. Home is a place of great comfort and nourishment, and your loved ones will always feel as if they are sinking into a mother’s arms when cradled on your comfy couch and sharing time with you. 

Your own connection to your mother should be very strong, for better or for worse. You may have a powerful attachment to her and perhaps an idealised version of what a “mother” should be, especially if you never enjoying a nurturing mother figure. If so, you will strive to be that idealised version yourself, yet you’ll need to be mindful of making sure that you don’t carry unnecessary guilt when you are unable to fulfil that role perfectly. You will be better than most, and your children / animals will likely love you very deeply and appreciate your tender care and nurturing. 

In love, you’ll be a profoundly caring partner, always looking out for your loved one’s deepest needs and desires, and trying to make sure that you do all in your power to get those needs met. You may need to watch for resentment as you tend to put your own needs aside, and may become defensive or passive aggressive – dealing with conflict head-on is extremely important for you to have peaceful and healthy relationships. You like to form deep connections over casual ones, and you may get your heart trodden on a few times until you learn that you need to guard it deeply, waiting for the right person to come along before you open up into vulnerability.  

You’re an incurable romantic and you thrive in a relationship where marriage and children are options – although some of you may decide to walk the less than travelled road, and live a more unbound life. There are the rare Cancerian Moon types that become wanderers in the world, and develop a powerful love of travel. 

Generally speaking, this can be one of the most wonderful Moon signs to have, and if you follow your very accurate intuition unfailingly you will never go wrong in life. It becomes important not to dismiss your “gut” feeling, and also important not to allow your emotions to engulf you, or spend too much time indulging or wallowing in emotion. Learn to let go, follow your heart and love deeply, and you’ll find your life full of profound connections and soul-satisfying experiences. 

Natal Moon in Gemini 

This first of the Air signs in the zodiac is the most changeable, charming and communicative one of them all! Like the breeze that blows in one direction, and then the next, having your Moon in this sign can create a life of immense variety, making you the most adaptable and versatile people out there.  

Gemini symbolises the twins, and therefore has the reputation of possessing “two faces”. However, two faces is far too limited for your Moon sign – you have many more, and can don on any role that is asked of you within any environment. You have a gift of being able to be the “chameleon” and your personal charm and grace is often a great hit with all who get to meet you – and that number will be very high indeed! 

Because of having so many faces, you may often be called “fickle”, “two faced” or even “unreliable”, yet many fail to see what a gift you have for being able to adapt at a moment’s notice, and how much skill it takes to be so completely able to shed one persona for another, according to the situation. For example, if you need to impress your mate’s family, you’ll happily learn golf or whatever other family activity is most popular, and then easily switch to work mode at a staff do, learning how things work in Human Resources for example, so that you are able to connect with those people on their level. This, to you, is certainly not fickle but rather clever and displays an ability to learn fast, in the moment. You may never pick up golf ever again or be interested in Human Resources after the occasions, but at least you were able to get on other people’s wavelengths just for that length of time. 

The Moon symbolises our emotions, and placed in an air sign like Gemini, is more motivated to talk and think about your feelings that actually feel them – expressing your emotions in a communicative way is your chosen method of working through sticky and hard-to-understand emotional issues. However, it does become important for you to learn how to get in touch with those sticker feelings so that you don’t just chatter them away and miss the opportunity for real emotional connection. Sensitive people may be a bit of a mystery to you, but could teach you a great deal of how to delve into your heart space in a vulnerable way. 

The emotions you do have, will always change – from one moment to the next, you could feel great joy, then deep sadness, and then flaring anger. They all swiftly move from one to the other, never staying around for long, which, once again, may make others see you as unreliable or even shallow. However, your gift is to be able to let things go far quicker than some who get stuck, and you have the rare ability to laugh even the heaviest emotion off. You can lighten others up with your quirky and quicksilver sense of humour, and cheer a room full of people in a jiffy. 

This quality often makes you a brilliant stand-up comedian, or at the very least, the one with all the jokes. You absolutely love information, and you try and learn everything you can so that you can talk to everyone you can about what you have learnt. From fixing cars to playing an instrument, to studying yoga and making a kickass meal, you can do it all, and if you haven’t yet, you will learn – fast. You are ever curious in everything the world has to offer, and your inquisitive nature ensures that you are a hive of information. You are one of those who always have their heads buried in a phone, only to be found to be reading an article on “how to” (fill in the blanks). 

It’s important for you to be continually mentally stimulated, or else you may feel emotionally morose or unfulfilled. Nothing nurtures you more than a good book, an online course, a new skill or an interesting piece of information. You’re sharper than most and your mind is always on the lookout for a fascinating topic. 

When it comes to your Mother, symbolised by the Moon, you may enjoy a light and easy relationship with her, or pass that on to your own children. You’ll always be able to see the silver lining and your children will love how communicative you are, and the curiosity you express in their lives. You may not be particularly nurturing, but you make up for it by being an excellent friend to them. 

You may change homes often, as you tend to get bored very easily with the same thing, day in and day out. Even if you have the same home for ages, you may change it up rather often to give it a fresh feel. Not particularly comfort driven, you’d rather have lots of books and sufficient technological gadgets that ensure continual stimulation, and you’re the type that loves having lots of people in your home at any time. Also, when it comes to love and relating, you prefer a partner who will mentally stimulate you, give you enough breathing room to do your own thing and isn’t too emotionally demanding of you. They’ll need to understand your changing moods, both dark and light and appreciate your quick humour and sarcasm without taking it to heart. 

Having a Gemini Moon means you’re a breath of fresh air, a lively and forever youthful energy and someone who can always make others laugh. Your cleverness and adaptability are enormous strengths and your ability to rationalise a messy emotional problem can be a profound gift to the world. You’ll just have to learn to be brave enough to delve into your own feelings from time to time and allow space for more emotional intimacy so that you don’t live life only at a surface level.
