The Moon. Your moon sign is the location in the constellations of the moon at the time of your birth.
The Moon is our satellite, it orbits the earth every 27.32 days. It rotates on its axis but we only see one side of the moon due to its captured rotation. As we all know, the Moon’s gravity causes our oceans to bulge which effects our planets tides. Many skeptics would insist that the Moon has no effect on any life form on earth, but studies have been conducted that suggest otherwise. A few responsible academic clicks through the internet will lead a researcher down the rabbit hole of articles.
As the largest and brightest object in our night-sky, The Moon brings us night light, it influences migration patterns to several creatures, its gravity stabilizes Earth’s tilt and of course, our tides are a direct outcome of the moon’s gravity.
Astrologically, the Moon is associated with the feminine energy of a mother and the safety a mother brings her child. It also governs ones internal world and subconscious mind – the habits, spontaneous reactions, emotions, moods, feelings and instincts.
Comparatively, where the Sun represents action, the Moon represents reaction. Where the masculine Sun represents power, outward strength, and authority, the Moon represents emotion, mind and inner strength.
Let’s use the musical artist Justin Bieber as an example.

Interpretation of Justin’s Natal Moon:
Moon in Libra:
Your desire for harmonious relationships and surroundings is so strong that you avoid personal confrontations or any expression of intense, unpleasant emotions. You are an idealist who would like to paint the world in pastel colors, and live in peace and harmony with others at all times. You are able to see points of similarity and unity with people who are vastly different from yourself, and befriend many different types of people. You are a considerate and thoughtful friend, and have a real flair for making others feel accepted and appreciated. Inwardly you are often torn with indecision and are much more at odds with yourself than others would ever guess from your smooth, even disposition.
Moon in 11th house:
You get a lot of emotional fulfillment through your involvement in groups, clubs, organizations, community activities, or a network of close friends who support and care for you. You make friends your family, and feel a close kinship with people who share some ideals or beliefs that you hold dear. You need people outside of your physical family to relate to and belong to.
Moon Square Uranus:
You crave excitement, change, and discovery, and cannot tolerate a routine or lifestyle that offers little in the way of surprise or challenge. Excitable, spontaneous, and enthusiastic about anything new, you may be perceived by others as being too impulsive, especially in personal relationships. It is not easy for you to make or keep commitments, since you don’t know how you will be feeling from one day to the next. Emotional freedom is very important to you. Your domestic life can be very unstable – but you like it that way.
Moon Square Neptune:
You are a dreamer, attracted to the inner, mystical side of life, and may have trouble distinguishing the real from the imagined or illusory. You do not enjoy confrontation and become very evasive when problems in your personal life arise, escaping into your imagination in order to avoid dealing with them directly. You are also rather gullible and naive about people, especially if your sympathy has been aroused. You are very sensitive to music and can use it to bring yourself into emotional balance and harmony.
Moon Trine Mars:
You are assertive and confront difficulties in a direct, no-nonsense sort of way. You cannot tolerate self-pity or passivity, and you can be rather brusque with others’ emotional problems. “Stop crying and DO something about it” might be your motto.
