Moon

In a birth chart, the Moon represents your emotional life: your needs, your reflexes, what reassures you. It describes how you react before you think, and the kind of refuge you need in order to feel at ease.

In astronomy, the Moon is Earth’s satellite; astrology makes it the second "luminary," the Sun’s night-time counterpart. Where the Sun says what you’re trying to become, the Moon says what you need in order to hold steady. It’s the part of you that reacts in a heartbeat, that craves comfort after a bad day, that knows which meal, which song or which person settles you down. It is tied to childhood, to your mother or whoever looked after you, and to the habits you’ve kept from that time. Its sign describes your emotional climate, its house the area of life where you look for security. The Moon changes sign roughly every two and a half days, which is why your birth time matters to place it with certainty. Knowing your Moon means learning to look after yourself with precision.
