While determining your sun sign is simple (based on your birth date), determining your moon sign is a little more difficult.
Calculating your full date, location, and time of birth, as well as your position around the moon, yields your moon sign.
It travels fast across the zodiac, spending two to two and a half days in each sign.
Your lunar sign is likely to differ from your solar sign; for example, you may be a Taurus, but your lunar sign is Sagittarius.

How do you know what your moon and sun signs are?
Your Moon Sign is a reflection of your innermost feelings and ideas. It’s as if you have an internal monologue that expresses all of your emotional demands and sentiments. Check your Moon Sign horoscope every day to observe how it impacts your emotions.
What is the meaning of your moon sign?
Almost everyone knows their star sign (also known as sun sign), but what about our moon sign? Everything you need to know is right here.
The sign in which the sun was when you were born determines your star (or sun) sign. Because the earth takes 30-31 days to rotate around the sun and change signs, you share your sun sign with everyone born during that month. The brushstrokes of your personality, or ‘outer self,’ are determined by your solar sign. Your moon sign, on the other hand, reveals the REAL you, the private person you know yourself to be.
Because the moon only spends about two days in each sign, it’s a lot more unpredictable component of your birth chart. It largely explains why you are so unlike the other people you know who have your sun sign (does anybody else ever feel a little embarrassed when they learn that a despised celebrity shares their sun sign?)
The cauldron of emotions, fears, longings, and obsessions simmering beneath the surface of your sun sign-driven ego is reflected in your moon sign. It’s all about the inner self, its motives and fears. It has a significant impact on your interpersonal interactions and how you FEEL about things. It’s a deep hole.
Is your moon sign the same as your astrological sign?
But there’s a lot more to who we are than that. All of the elements in our astrological charts, including our planets and houses, have an impact on us. Our fundamental personality is made up of three essential factors: our Sun sign, our Rising (or Ascendant), and our Moon sign. Our Sun sign is often strongly defined by our Sun signs, but it is actually made up of three key factors: our Sun sign, our Rising (or Ascendant), and our Moon sign. And, arguably, our Moon signs reveal far more about us than any other component of our horoscopes.
What is a Moon sign?
Our Moon sign is an enormously important component of our personalities, although it is sometimes overlooked in horoscopes and astrology. Consider the Sun and Moon signs to be two sides of one coin. While your Sun sign represents your external demeanor, your Moon sign represents who you are when you’re alone and how you see yourself. It’s a mirror of who you are on the inside.
The location of the Moon when you were born determines your Moon sign. It’s simple to figure out. Co-Star will tell you all you need to know about yourself based on your date of birth.
What does your Moon sign say about you?
Your Moon sign determines your inner self, hence it has a significant impact on your emotions and subconscious. This suggests that this aspect of your chart has a big influence on your love language and what you require from a relationship (romantic or otherwise).
You’re more likely to be an extrovert if your Moon is in an Air sign, like as Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius. The talkers of the zodiac are signs of communication. You’ll be someone who enjoys a good conversation, is energized by in-depth discussions, and enjoys socializing.
Your inner self will be more sensitive than you let on if your Moon is in a Water sign, such as Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces. Whatever you may appear to be on the outside, you are a naturally intuitive person who is easily hurt.
Leo, Aries, and Sagittarius, the Fire Moon signs, will regard themselves as outgoing and spontaneous. While this may not be the energy that everyone sees, you will be open to new experiences in a relationship and generous with your feelings.
Virgo, Capricorn, and Taurus, the Earth Moon signs, are practical in their foundation. When you’re alone, you’ll find comfort in organizing the things around you, whether it’s life admin or just cleaning. You’ll also be a person who finds immense solace in nature. The sun and the water can help with emotional anguish.
What method do you use to determine your rising sign?
Then, drum roll, please, we’ll get to the last of the major three puzzle pieces! Because it determines where your natal chart begins, your Rising sign, also known as the Ascendant, is incredibly essential in your birth chart. It’ll be the line at the 9 a.m. position of the circle if you’re searching for it on your chart. This Rising Sign is related to your First House, which is concerned with how others view you and how you connect with the outside world.
Knowing your time of birth (together with your place, date, and year) is essential for determining your Rising sign since it tells which zodiac sign the Sun was rising in on the eastern horizon. We say in esoteric astrology that the instant you took your first breath, you became you and your soul entered your body. Isn’t that interesting? My mind has been blown.
So, consider of your Rising sign as the mask you put on when you interact with the outside world. It typically reveals information about your own style, appearance, and even how you partner and interact with others. That’s why, if your Sun sign isn’t quite describing your personality as effectively as you’d want, it’s extremely probable that your Rising sign is taking center stage! Our Rising signs are highly strong, frequently revealing the patterns we are now experiencing.
That is why, in all horoscopes, I always advise you to read for both your Sun and Rising signs, as they will disclose the predictions and path you are on when read together.
What are my three major indicators?
In your birth chart, the Big Three are your Sun sign, Moon sign, and Rising sign. Understanding your Big Three is crucial because they serve as a pattern for who you are, what you want, and how you behave.
Is Virgo a sun sign or a lunar sign?
Those born between August 23 and September 22 have the sun sign Virgo as their zodiac sign. (It’s not exact since the sun changes signs on different days each year.) Also, while we often refer to ourselves as our sun sign, it’s only one component of a natal chart, which is essentially a unique snapshot of the sky at the time of your birth. However, it’s a minor detail that contributes to your overall sense of self, identity, personal style, self-esteem, and confidence.
Is Taurus a sign of the sun or the moon?
Taurus is a rooted solar sign, with emotional roots shown by the moon sign. In the birth chart, the relationship between the sun and the moon is quite important. Taurus, like Aries, is a fixed (rooting in) earth sign that emerges with the arrival of spring.
What does the Virgo moon sign mean?
You may be concerned about your moon sign placement because your moon sign determines your emotional requirements and patterns of behavior, and Virgos are frequently mislabeled as “cold” or “unemotional.” However, you can rest assured that nothing could be further from the truth!
People born with the moon in Virgo have an empathetic and sensitive nature. If your moon is in Virgo, you are likely to be interested in the world around you, as well as service-oriented, structured, analytical, and refined.
The six major characteristics of persons born under the Virgo moon are described here!
Trait 1: Curious
If your moon is in the sign of Virgo, Wikipedia is likely to be your best friend! The innate curiosity of persons born under the sign of Virgo is unrivaled by anyone else in the zodiac. People born under this sign are eager to learn everything they can about the world and the people around them. They absorb information on a wide range of topics like a sponge since they have a fast mind.
Virgo moon people are likely to have a wide range of interests and activities throughout their lives. This could mean that one day they pick up pottery and the next they learn how to fix their own automobiles (or simply that they learn how to fix their own cars).
