The Big Three: Sun, Moon & Ascendant

In astrology, three points form the foundation of your personality. Your Sun Sign is your essence — who you are at your core. Your Moon sign is your emotional world – how you feel and what gives you security. Your Ascendant is your radiance – how you affect others. Together, they create a complete picture. All three at a glance – plus every other planet – your personal Birth Chart.

What is the moon sign?

Your Moon sign is the zodiac sign in which the Moon was positioned at the time of your birth. While the Sun shows who you want to be, the Moon reveals how you feel: your inner needs, your reactions, and what gives you true security.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find out my moon sign?

The Moon changes signs approximately every two and a half days, so the zodiac date alone isn't enough. For a reliable determination, you need your birth date and – in borderline cases – the time. The free Moon sign calculator does the math for you.

What does my moon sign say about me?

Your Moon sign describes your emotional world: how you love, what calms you, how you respond to stress, and what your soul seeks. It's often the most private, vulnerable side – the one only close people get to see.

What's more important — sun sign or moon sign?

None is more important; they describe different levels. The Sun is your core essence and drive, the Moon your emotional life. Only together – with the Ascendant – do they create a complete picture of your personality.
