The Moon moves through one sign every ~2.3 days, so your time of birth improves accuracy. If unknown, a noon estimate is used.
Moon vs Sun sign
The Sun represents your conscious identity; the Moon represents your subconscious — how you feel, what comforts you, and how you nurture and need nurturing.
Emotional nature
Your Moon sign reveals how you process feelings, handle stress and show care to those you love.
Instincts
Reflex reactions, comfort foods, and the environments that feel like home are all lunar territory.
Compatibility
Astrologers compare Moon signs for deep relationship chemistry — more revealing than Sun signs alone.
