Moon in Signs or In Houses in birth chart

Description of the Moon in Birth chart in the Zodiac Signs : to better understand one’s lunar sign

The Moon in birth chart, our lunar sign, gives us clues about our instincts, our emotional reactions, our intimate habits, our behavior in private in our household, it represents the Anima especially in the maternal sphere.

Our lunar sign really represents the archetype of personality that one has the most facilities to contact, to express, spontaneously, it’s the personality that emerges the most easily and instinctively, in everyday life…

The Moon describes a lot our bases of “emotional security”, what reassures us, our childhood, the links we have with our mother, not so much the way she really is besides, but more the way we perceive her, how she behaves with us, or rather what we feel about her psychically.

The Moon is necessarily very important in a woman’s chart, it directly impacts her way of projecting herself on the world, and also a part of what she attracts to her emotionally…
In a man’s chart, this lunar sign could represent what he likes to find to reassure himself in his household and in his loves.

The lunar sign thus forms a very important couple with the solar sign, the 2 luminaries complement each other within the personality, and at least as much as the ascendant (which is however more known in general), the lunar sign allows us to greatly refine the fundamental understanding of our behaviours, especially here in their most intimate, sensitive and even “epidermal” sides (far from the self image, from the “persona” that we can create for ourselves in the social theater, we cannot “cheat” with the lunar sign).

The aspects that the Moon receives are obviously particularly important to analyze, if they are rather hard, such as the square or the opposition, or even in some cases the conjunction according to the planets involved, this can easily be found in the exacerbation of emotionalism, frustration, dryness, passivity, influenceability, indecision, pessimism, nostalgia, or even by forming a part of endogenous depression not negligible …

Read in particular “The Lunation Cycle : A Key to the Understanding of Personality” by Dane Rudhyar.

Be careful not to confuse with the Moon in transits, I describe here the lunar energies at work in your birth chart (the potentialities and projections that they can represent within your personality through your lunar sign), these interpretations are of a general nature and only aim to give a small idea of principle, they must be nuanced by taking into account the birth chart in its entirety, in particular the Aspects realized.
