Moon Influence in Birth Charts
Moon Interpretations Through the Zodiac
The Moon represents emotions, but it also shows part of the social personality. Much can be read about a person's character - in how they respond emotionally.
Emotional reactions are deeply embedded in people; these reactions are automatic and usually they are beyond an individual's control. Whichever sign and house the Moon is located in, reveals how a person reacts to outside stimuli.
Brief Interpretations of the Moon in All 12 Signs
The Moon makes a personality imprint in a birth chart, as it moves through the twelve signs. Here is a condensed look at the Moon's effect through the twelve signs.
- Moon in Aries – This personality stands out when entering a room. With quicker type movements and an adventurous demeanor, this moon placement demands attention. The explosive Aries reactions can help contain most situations when the need arises. There is a tendency to see things very fast, with the added ability to sum up situations much quicker than most people.
- Moon in Taurus – Born with a natural, slow, easygoing nature, this person naturally soothes people throughout social circles. Possessing the gift of an honest to goodness, down to earth, non-judgmental attitude – people instinctively love being around this character. Being resistant to change is the Achilles heel for this Moon placement, more flexibility would be of great benefit.
- Moon in Gemini – This person has emotional reactions that are swift and analytical. Usually more cool and detached, unless there are one or more water signs in the chart. Naturally gifted with an excellent insight, into how others really tick. Very quick witted, with the ability to offer sound advice from an intellectual standpoint.
- Moon in Cancer – The receptive nature of the Moons placement in Cancer, makes for one touchy, sensitive, highly emotional character. This person easily soaks up the moods of people like a sponge. The feelings can be easily hurt by others, with eyes welling up at the slightest comment, even when the intention was innocent. You'd be hard pressed to find a more sensitive soul.
- Moon in Leo – This person will have a certain noble, proud quality - even if this is the only Leo planetary position in the chart. Craving outside attention and adulation, is likely a deeper emotional need. Very magnanimous in relationships, provided flattery is reciprocated.
- Moon in Virgo – This person may hide feelings of lower self worth, through criticism of anything and everyone. It's an automatic response built into the personality. Flaws stand out like an irritating black dot, on a pure white canvass. Once past the initial critiques however, a warm, deeply understanding character awaits beneath.
- Moon in Libra – This person anticipates what you need and tries to accommodate. Enjoys making people feel at home and wants to please guests and family alike. Being a true fan of harmony, there is a deep impulse to go great lengths to achieve it. No other Moon position is more popular than this one.
- Moon in Scorpio – This Moon placement is emotionally deep and passionate to say the least - this is not a surface type person. Thoroughly enjoys exploring the depths of human emotion and is not afraid of what is uncovered. Psychiatrists are often found to have this Moon position. It allows them to see inside other people with ease.
- Moon in Sagittarius – This lighthearted personality is all about fun, freedom and exploration. Moon in Sagittarius makes this person, very popular within social circles. A natural love of other countries, cultures and education in any form are usually hot topics with this person.
- Moon in Capricorn – Ambition is at the core of this Moon placement. Moon in Capricorn will seek some form of success and is willing to suffer in order to get there. This person is emotionally bent on rising to the top. Prefers to study the competition carefully - then finds ways to become the winner.
- Moon in Aquarius – Blending the Moon with Uranus, makes the emotional expressions of this personality unorthodox. Has an ongoing desire, to shock others with anything wild or new. This character can be emotional aloof, distant and rather cool, or wild and experimental - often changing from one day to the next.
- Moon in Pisces – Moon with Neptune bestows this person with one of the Zodiacs most sensitive Moon positions. This soft, gentle water sign makes the personality emotional, dreamy, ultra kind and very aware of others. When someone is feeling pain, this person almost emulates it, then stays until there is a healing. Near angelic at best - unrealistic at worst.
The Subtle Moon is an Important Part of any Birth Chart
The Moon's influence is usually seen as very subtle. Since it controls emotional reactions, personal tastes and many personality traits, it should be regarded as an important piece of the personality profile. Moving onto the house positions will yield further clues as to character types.
