Finding Your Moon Sign

Finding your moon sign is easy. It is also easy to find another person's moon sign. But first, it is important to understand why you need to know your moon sign and the moon sign of someone else.

So, what's the value in finding moon signs?

I would like to give you a different way of thinking about a moon sign. It is this: Think of a sign as an attitude. An attitude is simply a way of feeling and thinking about something. Each sign has very specific attitudes. For instance, Gemini's are impatient. That's a feeling and an attitude. Scorpio's want privacy and to be respected. These are feelings and attitudes. With this in mind, let us explore the moon sign

The Moon is a planet of feelings and emotions and relates strongly to intimacy, but the sign it is in determines what kind of feelings and emotions the individual feels the most. This is why a man with his Moon in Aquarius is totally different from a man who has his Moon in Scorpio. Aquarians are by nature emotionally detached, so you would not expect them to respond from the same emotional depth as a Scorpio. If you do not know this about a person's moon sign, you may be headed for serious blunders in your relationship. Finding your moon sign and that of another person is very important if you want to undrstand the chemistry between you.

You need to know just what the Moon means in a birth chart. Here is a description of the moon from my book, "No One Is a Mystery - How to Use the Planets to Understandy Anybody." (You can see the cover of this book at the top right side of this web page.) On page 149 of that book, it reads as follows:

The Moon (Feelings/Habits)

Desire For Security

"Mother Moon is the great nourisher, the food-giver. She owns the cookie jar. Her position in the sky at the moment of our birth shows where we seek security and nurturing. She reveals our relationship to our mother, our family, and where we look to be protected and sustained, and our emotional response to others. Because the Moon is a man's heart, its sign position shows the kind of woman he looks to for emotional nurturing.

The Moon rules the stomach, home, family, mother, and real estates, and it relates to emotional and material comfort. Her daily motion through the sky shows the general mood of the people on earth andy given day. She is very important for predictng the outcome of an event or enterprise."

The Moon is fruitful when waxing, less so when waning. A person with a happy moon, feels secure inside. If that Moon is afflicted by the larger planets, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune or Pluto, then that person will have serious emotional problems. So, it is not ony important to find the moon sign but how it relates to these larger planets in the chart. For more inofrmation on an afflicted moon see "Do You Have a Wounded Moon."

Here's The Procedure For Finding Moon Signs

If you do not already know your moon sign, I can create a birthchart for you and show you how to find it. To make this simple, send $2 in cash to Randall Curtis, P.O. Box 150397, San Rafael, Ca 94915 and I will send you a birthchart within 24 hours of receiving your request. Also be sure to send your date, time, and place of birth. I cannot find your moon sign without this information.

So, once you have your birthchart, it may look like very strange to you if you have not seen one before. Not to worry. It is quite easy to locate your moon sign in your birthchart. Let's look at just a section of Elvis Presley's chart and you will see how simple it is. Can you see:

Elvis Presley's Moon Sign?

Notice the smaller inside wheel near the center with the numbers "1 - 2 - 3" Elvis's Moon is located in the "3" section. Do you see it there? This is called the "third house." It is easy to see the symbol for the Moon. The sign right next to it is the sign of Pisces. His Moon is in Pisces. You can also locate this sign in the section that describes the moon signs below. If you want a good book on how to understand moon signs, I suggest "No One Is a Mystery - How to Use the Planets to Understandy Anybody."

Since you know what the moon looks like in a birthchart, it is quite easy for you to locate your moon sign. However, I realize that you may not be able to recognize the moon sign, so I have provided all the signs below along with a description of their meanings. All you have to do is find the moon sign below that matches the sign in your chart. If you are interested in studying astrology seriously, knowing the signs is like knowing the alphabet. Certainly, the information below can get your started.

The Moon In The Sign of Aries - Red

Summary Statement

You gain your security and nurturing from new adventures. You love to try new things and be with people who can make quick decisions. Since these are the energies that you were associated with from birth, they are the most comfortable for you. You may have trouble finishing things because it is more important for you to start them. You are a “doer” not a “finisher.” But you can inspire others to take action by taking the lead yourself. You are attracted to strong and aggressive people who are not afraid to make things happen. You are not emotionally “mushy” and seldom look back—you are more interested in what is happening now or what lies ahead of you. Your mother could be a fiery and aggressive person.

The Moon In The Sign of Taurus - Green

Summary Statement

Taurus is a very green earth energy. If your Moon is here you have a strong practical sense and are probably good at handling money. You love the good things of the earth. Usually you can cook well, create a garden or build a house.

You need time and space to move around because you cannot be pushed into anything. It is best to coax you into something—you are more likely to respond to gentle nudging. You are fixed and stubborn but loyal in your feelings to your mate, home and family. You are also very sensuous and love to touch, unless some other planetary pattern interferes with this. You find it hard to forsake your mate even if your relationship is not working. Sometimes it will be like having to pry open a clam with a knife just to get you to talk about your feelings. This seems to be due to the natural stubbornness of the Taurus nature. People should not push you or make any kind of authoritative demands. If people want your help, they need to ask and suggest. Being vulnerable is not easy for you but you can show your love in many ways. Was your mother into finances?

The Moon In The Sign of Gemini - Yellow

Summary Statement

Here the Moon is expressed through the mental world, moving like a swift warbler, with restless intellectual habits. There is always a need to be in two places at once, to do more than two things at a time, an impatience for detail, distaste for finishing long projects, and a tendency toward being emotionally indecisive. Here, the feelings tend to be in the head unless other planets are in water energies that express more emotions connected to the heart. There is a natural emotional detachment.You seek comfort in new techniques, new methods, and change in your surroundings. You love the feeling of moving around and are attracted to change. You may even like to live or sleep in two places, going back and forth whenever you feel like it. Your mother could be a teacher or writer.

The Moon In The Sign of Cancer - Brown

Summary Statement

Here the Moon is in a very emotional position that lends fluctuations to the emotions. There can be marked mood changes and sensitivity to the environment. Since the Moon changes to a different sign every two and a half days, a person born with their Moon here seem to reflect these changes in their attitude. With women in particular, there seems to be a deep attunement to the lunar cycle which reflects emotional withdrawal from others during the menstrual cycle. In general, people with the Moon here tend to be moody. You are a certainly a homebody. A man with his Moon in Cancer can be strongly attached to his mother and place his own wife in a mother role. You love the family, your hearth, and a cupboard full of goodies to feed those in need, and your sensitivity extends to other people’s feelings as well as your own. You could cry in a moment, as emotions are full within you. You can be possessive and overly motherly to those who look to you as the mother hen. Men with this position tend to be homebodies and even motherly themselves. Your mother could be a good cook.

The Moon In The Sign of Leo - Gold

Summary Statement

This attitude gives an intense and dramatic expression to the Moon. There is usually a strong desire for romance, creativity, and the arts. You love to create an emotional impact on others while being at the center of attention. While others may avoid the limelight, you love to be at the center of the action. Of course this could be nullified if your Moon is “afflicted” by unfriendly planets. In general, you are very positive and can’t stand moody or depressing people. In fact, you are usually the one who lifts other people’s spirit because you always see hope and light where other people do not. You love expressing the energy of life and inspiring people to do their best. You are often found at the theater, on stage, or in the movies. You have a deep love nature and enjoy the whole realm of romance. You could be strongly drawn to acting or music because these areas provide you with a channel for creative self-expression. One way or the other, you are going to find ways to get noticed. Your mother could be a very dramatic person and very bighearted.

Here the Moon falls into a box where the feelings are kept in a neat and tidy place. Emotions are kept under control due to an overt need to maintain order, efficiency, accuracy and perfection. The habits are particular, patient, and show great capacity for boring and tedious work. You can endure long hours of repetitive endeavors as if you had a machine in the back of your brain that could go on forever. The problem with this is that the feelings are mentalized—not really felt. Romantic feelings may be considered “mush.” Let us hope that other parts of the nature can balance out this passion for efficiency with passion for love.

You may have trouble knowing your feelings and expressing your
emotions. You are usually a very responsible and caring person who
knows how to carry out duties effectively. But why not let your life
hang loose a little more? A lot can be discovered by not knowing so
much ahead of time. You could be critical of women, or have a mother
who is very critical.

Libra is an attitude that draws us toward relationship and cooperation with others. You like to be with people and to be known as a person who is very friendly and helpful to others. People tend to like you because you know how to charm them and get them to like you. You are interested in the beautiful. A pleasant, colorful atmosphere in your home is very important to you and you seek harmony with everything you relate to. You could assist women in making their home beautiful because you have a natural attraction for making your nest pleasant and congenial. You could be the person to choose to set up a great party because you are a people person. There is something special about how you decorate your place. Others will tend to admire this gift and even seek you out to do this kind of work for them. Your mother could be a beautiful woman or someone in art, design or fashion.

The Moon In The Black Sign of Scorpio - Black

Summary Statement

Here the Moon is in the mysterious black sign. What we see is not what we get. You are a “still water runs deep” person. Your inner life is not well known by others and you like to keep it that way. You are extremely sensitive to accusation or blame. No one should ever point their finger at you if they wish to remain your friend. Once you are hurt, you do not forgive easily and you may look for a way to get even. Your private life is very important to you, which is why you usually have many secrets. You like to probe into the causes of things and have a strong awareness of people’s hidden motives. You could be a researcher, detective, psychologist or mystic. You are not easy to know. Therefore your greatest challenge will be to practice the willingness to be known, because this is the true path to intimacy. Your mother probably had secrets that she kept hidden from you.

This blue sign lends a fiery impulse to the emotions. You have a great interest in mobility. Traveling and wandering are very strong habits of yours. You have a strong need for adventure, to find out what is beyond the horizon, to connect with distant lands, people and foreign cultures. You could be very interested in spiritual matters, law, writing, publishing and teaching. You are usually a very open person emotionally, uncomplicated an forthright. You despise deception and could never kee a secret. Although you may not be conscious of it, you are seeking to understand the greater picture of your life; you are in search of meaning. Some people may say you are never home, but you tend to be at home wherever you are. Your mother could be religious, a publisher or teacher. She is probably very forthright and
honest.

Your feelings are cooled by this position. They are colored with ambition. You tend to be serious and carry that mood with you wherever you go. This indicates that you were conditioned by an austere childhood—at least emotionally. Your feelings may be predictable because they function within the boundaries of what is the proper and correct thing to do. You need to be around people who are lighthearted to help you laugh at yourself and keep up your spirits. But you tend to associate with business people or people who are older. You are usually a very responsible person and feel that duty is a very important principle to follow. You are usually honest and forthright about your feelings because you wear no illusions about your emotional self. All the fluff is removed from your expectations— your outlook toward your world is practical and realistic.

Sentimentality is certainly not in your vocabulary, but you could use
some intimate strokes to warm up your insides. Your mother may be
a business woman who seldom shows much warmth through her
feelings.

The Moon In The Sign of Aquarius - Blue-Green

Summary Statement

This blue-green sign is full of surprises, brilliance and the unusual. Your emotions have a marked difference from the rest of your nature—unless, of course, you have a lot of other planets in this same sign. This is a radical energy and quite unpredictable. Therefore, your emotional reactions will always surprise people—sometimes even you. Certainly your habits are unpredictable. You recognize the rights of others to be free and certainly demand that for yourself. You love living on the edge of experience, open to new influences if they offer you an opportunity to discover something new. Your friends may complain that you are too detached emotionally, that you don’t seem connected to others with your feelings. Your mother is possibly very emotionally detached from you, more like your friend than motherly.

Here, your habits and feelings wander in the world of imagination, dreams, and tears. Where other people may fall short in emotions, you overflow and can be quickly moved to tears. You are in tune with the suffering in the world and may carry a deep sense of sorrow or loss without knowing why. Trying to help fulfill the needs of others might be a way that you try to squash your own needs. Remember with your great capacity to care for and to love others to feel enough for yourself. It may take you some time to accept that your needs and self-nurturing are also important. Try not to overdo your sympathy; you could drain your own energy and be used and abused if you don’t draw the line on the side of safety. You have a far-reaching imagination and the power to create an effect or illusion. You could act, dance, or write. The best way to use your intuitive and psychic talents are in the arts. Avoid alcohol or mind-expanding stimulants because you could open psychic doors that would be hard to close. If you have a need to escape this “cruel world,” then do so through creative self-expression. You may come from a family where you had to take care of someone—possibly your mother. Your mother may be a martyr, an artist, or inclined to drink.
