What can the moon tell you about personality?

The Meaning of the Moon Signs

The underlying meaning of the moon signs is that they rule your emotional nature; the way you process things on the emotional level and the nature and temperament of your personality. To be sure, this planet is certainly a heavy hitter in a personal chart, and understanding the sign in which the moon falls can yield a vast amount of information about the personality in question.

Aries Moon

An Aries moon is very assertive. These people tend to resist any authority that doesn’t come from them. Relishing a challenge, their emotions are easily aroused, and they need to be careful when acting in haste because that legendary temper is sure to flare! Women with this placement can be very aggressive in matters of the heart, while men with this placement expect much in love, but may give little in return.

Taurus Moon

Taurus moon individuals hate to be rushed into commitments, romantic or otherwise, but once they do commit, expect them to be dogged in the pursuit of their goals. These moon signs are quite calm, but become enraged when a commitment is broken. Women with a Taurus moon are usually independent and self-reliant, but can also be a bit miserly. The male natives are charming, sensual, diplomatic and devoted to their children.

Gemini Moon

These folks love to solve puzzles and relish learning the secrets of others. They need varied tasks to help them maintain optimum physical and mental health; their nervous systems are usually sensitive. Women of this moon placement are great with their hands, while the men are quite charming.

Cancer Moon

Cancer moon individuals are quite compassionate and philanthropic. In fact, their warm nature allows them to see almost everyone they meet as family. Women with this placement often feel vulnerable or possessive, and can sometimes feel emotionally dependent. Men with a moon in Cancer may like gardening or cooking, and are usually very non-aggressive in their approach.

Leo Moon

Leo moon individuals are usually quite stubborn with an attraction towards art and design. Sometimes quite flamboyant, these natives may have a tendency to exaggerate, but their hearts are usually in the right place. The women here may be a bit preoccupied with status, and the men can be braggarts.

Virgo Moon

Virgo moon natives often throw up emotional barriers that they secretly want you to overcome. This placement can make for terrific, very talented writers and artists. There is also a tendency towards fastidious eating habits. Whether fairly or not, women with this placement are sometimes seen as hypochondriacs, and the men tend to idealize their wives.

Libra Moon

All that is beautiful is pleasing to Libra moon natives, and they are usually impeccably groomed, with equally fashionably furnished homes. Women with this placement are usually interested in finances and social/intellectual pursuits, while the men may enjoy cooking. Men with this placement need to be intellectually stimulated. If not, they can wander.

Scorpio Moon

A moon that falls in Scorpio has the tendency to brood and ruminate, but it also gives much strength, determination and perseverance to the individual. Women with this placement, especially those of high intelligence, may actually be brilliant, and the male natives can usually be found trying to solve the most difficult of problems. Both sexes may have issues with control.

Sagittarius Moon

These natives are often attracted to art, architecture, writing, teaching and working with animals. Females with a Sagittarius moon usually make better friends than lovers. Paradoxically, they can be restless and may actually have more than a few romantic dalliances. The men are usually on the hunt for the ideal woman and are legendary for their skirt-chasing.

Capricorn Moon

These natives may have a tendency to worry, and they like things to be structured and done in a formal way. Occasionally, those individuals with this placement may have trouble relating to others that don’t share their opinions and values. Men of this moon sign may have difficulty in relating to women or being "close", while the females may overlook their personal lives in favor of more ambitious goals.

Aquarius Moon

With a moon in Aquarius, one can expect an individual that is unbiased towards others. These people also have the unique ability to calm those that are mentally disturbed or aggravated. Highly individualistic, marriage can sometimes be tough for the males and females with this placement; both prefer an atmosphere of friendship and mutual respect to raw, unabashed displays of affection.

Pisces Moon

A Pisces moon often produces gifted writers, actors and illustrators. Their inner nature is extremely sensitive even if they project an outer image of strength. Women of this sign may suffer from anxiety, and the men can seem fairly vulnerable themselves.

To Sum Up

The main thing to take away from the moon signs is that they take on the characteristics of the sign they are housed in. It cans sometimes be confusing to meet someone you could swear is an Aries; only to find out they are a Sun sign Virgo with an Aries moon. Understanding where the moon falls offers a deeper layer of understanding to the personality.
