All About Your Moon Sign

Most people who are interested in Astrology know their sun (zodiac) sign.  This is easy to follow as the sun changes signs--from Aries, to Taurus etc. on a regular basis of 28-31 days.  Remember the days when someone would come up to you and say "what's your sign"?  Astrology is alive and well but this question has become pretty much obsolete.

The moon and other planets in the solar system also make their way around the 12 signs as the sun.  However, the moon and other planets move through the signs at different rates of speed.  The moon takes 2.5 days to go from one sign to the other.  And at the far end of the spectrum Pluto takes up to 30 years to go from one sign to another.

There are three power points in Astrology:
1. Sun sign:  Your basic personality and inner drives
2. Moon Sign: Your emotional personality and reactions, food choices and romantic choices
3. Rising Sign:  This is the way people see you and not always your true self.

The moon sign is more important or perhaps more easily deciphered.  Your moon sign combined with your sun sign reveals a lot of information about you.  The moon sign can add energy, creativity, dependability and more to your original sun sign.  I have often found as an Astrologer that the moon sign on women's chart takes over a lot of the personality traits of the sun sign.

For example my sun sign is in Libra which brings out many traits to mine such as indecisiveness, sociability and graciousness.  My Virgo moon sign has created a more dependable Libra and though I still am indecisive once I make up my mind I stay with it.  I am also interested in healthy living and eating nourishing food.  The Libra tends to eat whatever he/she desires without thinking about either calories or healthfulness.  This is not true of all Libras.  My Virgo moon also has created an over analytical mind about many things.

Generalizing in Astrology about the sun sign, moon sign or even rising sign is not a genuine way to interpret an Astrology chart.  Your Astrology reading  is the sum total of all the planetary placements on the day you were born.  To duplicate your chart would take 25,000 years.

Please feel free to ask any questions and I promise I will address them.  I am available to read charts.  We can have a telephone conversation or a written report.
