Moon signs: your inner world
Moon signs meaning in short: your Moon sign shows your emotional nature: how you process feelings, what comforts you and what you need from the people closest to you. The Moon changes sign every two to three days, so you need your birth date, and sometimes your birth time, to find it.

Your Sun, Moon and Rising signs work together. The Sun is who you are at the core, the Moon is how you feel inside and the Rising sign is how you meet the world. Reading all three gives a much fuller picture than any single sign.
Why your Moon sign matters
The Moon is the fastest-moving body in astrology. It shows your emotional habits, your instinctive reactions and the things that help you feel at home.
Many people relate more to their Moon sign in close relationships than to their Sun sign. Knowing it can explain why you need different things from a partner, a friend or a place to live.
