The Moon is said to rule your personality, while the Sun rules your individuality, while the Ascendant Sun dictates our outer appearance and mannerisms (learn more about the Ascendant by clicking on its icon in the horoscope main menu). There are two types of moon signs: natal moon signs and transiting moon signs.

Your natal moon sign is the zodiac sign occupied by the moon at your date and time of birth. It shows how you may react to things emotionally, where your caring or nurturing instinct shows itself, how you feel about your home, and where you may have strong loves, desires or attractions. The exact times in which the Moon changed is not displayed on the chart, so if there was a moon change on your birthday, the moon may still have been in the preceding Sign at the time you were born. You will simply have to read both descriptions and choose the one that most represents your personality. This will make you more adept at recognizing signs for both yourself and others. Transiting moon signs, or moon transits, are the day-to-day positions of the moon (or the positions of the moon for any time, past of future). Moon transits can be a valuable part of future forecasting.

The current Moon Calendar will give the accurate zodiac sign placement of the moon for any day this month.You may be surprised to learn that you may illustrate more of your Moon Sign qualities than your Sun Sign (it should be noted though that the vast majority of the populous manifest their Sun Signs). By reading the description of your Moon Sign you will be able to judge how much the Moon affects your personality. The descriptions are quite general, but may ring true nonetheless.
