Your Moon sign shows what you need to feel safe and loved. The Moon changes sign about every two and a half days, so for the Moon a birth time often matters. If the sign changed on your birthday, the result says when, and which side of the change you need to be on.

Common questions
Common questions
What is a Moon sign?
It is the sign the Moon was in when you were born. Astrologers read it as your emotional side: what comforts you, what you need to feel safe, and how you react when you are stressed.
Do I need my birth time?
Often, yes. The Moon changes sign about every two and a half days, so on about two birthdays in five it changes sign that day. Without a time, the result says whether that happened and which two signs are possible.
How is my Moon sign different from my Sun sign?
Your Sun sign is the one in horoscopes, set by your birthday. Your Moon sign describes your inner, emotional life, and for most people it is a different sign.
Why does the Moon sign matter in relationships?
Two people whose Moon signs get on tend to comfort each other easily. That is why the love compatibility calculator compares Moon with Moon, and each Sun with the other person's Moon.
