Moon sign or sun sign – which matters more?

"I'm a Leo, but I don't feel like one at all." You hear this often – and usually the answer lies in your lunar sign.

Sun vs Moon

Your zodiac sign is your sun sign: your conscious wants, your self, what you strive for. Your moon sign, by contrast, represents your feelings, your unconscious needs, and what gives you security.

When each dominates

On the outside, in your actions and goals, often the Sun shows itself. In private, under stress and in love, the Moon frequently takes over. Those who don't identify with their sun sign usually recognize themselves right away in their moon sign.

Best to know both

The question is not either-or. Only together – plus your ascendant – do the sun and moon create a complete picture. Calculate your Moon Sign for free and discover the other half of you.
