Like the planets and constellations, the moon has a huge impact on astrology and how we know who we are. It can guide us and help us learn so much about ourselves and our spiritual journey in life.
Because of this, I have decided to write an article about moon reading and what we can learn from the moon.
The moon is one of the most powerful celestial beings. Its energy has a profound effect on humanity and has guided us for centuries.
The moon controls the tides and humans have always worked with its cycle. Did you know that the full moon causes corals on the Great Barrier Reef to spawn and is known to affect moods and mental health?
Learning about your moon reading, what it means, and how you can grow under the light of the moon can be empowering.
You may have heard people talk about their moon sign, but perhaps you are confused about what this actually means.
So, what is a moon reading and how can you find out your moon sign?
Moon Reading Explained
In astrology, you have three main signs that refer to different things about you. The one that is commonly referred to as your star sign is your sun sign.
This sign describes your zodiac personality and can be determined by the day and month in which you were born. The traits of your sun sign usually represent your personality and how you appear to the world.
The other two main signs that you have in astrology are your rising sign and your moon sign. In this article, we are focusing on your moon sign.
Your moon sign represents your deep emotional state. It refers to where the moon was in the sky when you were born and how its gravitational pull affects you.
The moon helps you understand your intuitions and feelings. It assists you with your connection with people around you, and how you behave emotionally.
The moons cycle lasts approximately 28 days. This orbit will change zodiac sign every two and a half days, meaning that it will be in all 12 zodiac signs throughout its cycle.
Good to know: In order to work out your moon sign, you will need to know the exact time and place of your birth. (By the way, do you know your birthstone?)
When the moon returns to the zodiac in which you were born, you might feel a bit more emotional and have deeper intuitions.
Because of this, I feel it’s super important to know your moon sign as it means you can work with the moon and use its energy to enhance your psychic powers!

New Moon Reading
The energy of the new moon and which zodiac it is in is also super important when you want to work with the universe. The new moon always means a new start and brings abundance into your life.
When the new moon is in your moon sign, it’s bringing powerful energy of birth and renewal to your life. This is a great time to start new projects or try out new things!
Full Moon Reading
If you were born under the full moon, your moon sign will most likely be the opposite zodiac to your star sign. This is because the moon will be opposite the sun in space.
However, this is not always the case so it’s good to look into your moon sign! There are moments where the full moon might be in one of two signs.
It’s really good to know what zodiac sign the full moon is in because its energies will have an impact on yours. When the moon is in certain zodiacs, there will be different vibrations that cause different things.
For example, when the full moon is in Capricorn, there is an abundance of energy on the earth of productivity and hard work.

Thankfully, doing a moon reading is not as hard as it used to be! Before the internet age with its abundance of information, working out your moon sign took a lot of research.

Moon Reading Examples
Now let’s look at some actual moon reading examples and what they mean.
A January Baby
I have a friend who was born on the 7th of January, 1996. Her natal chart is super interesting and reflects the complexity of her character.
Her sun sign is Capricorn, and you can tell! She is a hard worker and can be pretty stubborn if we ever argue. However, she is also really friendly and outgoing and is really fun to be around!
When I read her moon sign, I was not surprised to discover that her moon sign is Leo. My friend clearly has a deep need to connect with the people around her and have fun!
Even though she is a hard worker, she has a simple view of life and its meanings that reflects Leo’s playfulness.
A Scorpio’s Soft Side
Let’s look at another moon reading and what it tells us about the hidden depths of a person. There is a woman in my life that I see as a mentor. She has taught me a lot about my life, but she is a bit of an enigma herself!
She was born on the 27th of October 1964 and is a Scorpio. She is stubborn and determined, and can be a bit mean sometimes! She is strong, both spiritually and emotionally, and is passionate about her beliefs.
Her moon sign is Cancer. This reflects her deep need for security and safety. It also suggests that she can be vulnerable, and she perhaps uses her Scorpio stubbornness as a way of hiding her true self!
I love how reading somebody’s moon sign can really help us understand them more. It shows us how complex a person is, and how they have loads of different feelings and emotions.

It’s super easy to find out your moon sign, and even easier to learn what it means for you! In learning about your moon sign, you are able to connect with the universe and work alongside the rhythm of the moon.
