The Moon shows your emotional baseline—how you self-soothe, attach, and respond in real time. Read it by sign, house, and aspects.
Personality Snapshot
The Moon runs your nervous system and attachment patterns. It’s the instinct that reaches for safety, food, touch, and rhythm. When the Moon is resourced, you feel clear and generous. When it’s starved, you protect, perform, or disappear.
✅ What it wants
- Familiar rhythms and safe people
- Comfort that actually restores (not numbs)
- Belonging without self-abandonment
⚠️ When it struggles
- Mood swings tied to sleep/food/stress
- Clinging or stonewalling under threat
- Overgiving to feel safe
🧭 Feed it well
- Regular meals, movement, and sleep
- State needs out loud; ask early
- Keep rituals that calm your tides

Moon FAQ
Is the Moon more “me” than the Sun?
Different layer. The Sun is your chosen direction; the Moon is how you stay okay on the way there. Blend both.
Do phases matter in natal charts?
Yes. A natal New/Full Quarter phase colors how you start, push, reveal, or release. It’s a bonus layer on top of sign/house/aspects.
Should I track daily Moon transits?
Useful for mood timing and soft planning (talks, rest, creative sprints). Pair with your house transits for context.
