What Your Moon Sign Says About You
Your sun sign gets all the attention, but if you have ever felt like your horoscope does not quite describe your inner world, your moon sign is probably why. Your moon is your emotional home. It is what I call your regulation climate: how you feel safe, how you soothe yourself, and how you love the people closest to you.
Where your sun is about who you are becoming, your moon is about what you need to feel okay. It runs quietly in the background of every relationship you have. And most people never learn theirs, which is a shame, because it explains so much.
Below are the gifts of all 12 moon signs. Not the wounds, not the red flags, the actual strengths each moon brings. Find yours, and if you do not know it yet, skip to the bottom and I will show you how to find it.
