Don’t Fit Your Sun Sign? Check Your Moon Sign!
Why is it that some people do not seem to fit their sun sign personalities? Your sun sign determines your individuality and your uniqueness as others see you. Your moon sign, however, determines how you see yourself, your inner life, and the personality that comes from inside you. If your sun is in Aries and your moon is also in Aries, you will probably have a lot of dead-on Aries personality traits. If your sun is in Aries and your moon is in Pisces, not so much.
The moon travels through the astrological houses just like the sun does, so your moon can be in any of the twelve zodiac signs depending on the date and year of your birth. For example, I was born on March 22, 1953, so my sun sign is Aries, but my moon sign is Cancer. This means that, while I do have some of the ambition and headstrong qualities of the Ram. My personality tends to be more quiet, intuitive, and emotional. The Cancer moon tones down the Aries brashness considerably.
The moon travels through the heavens much more quickly in any given year than the sun, so two people with the same Sun Sign can have completely different moon signs and completely different personalities. To find your own moon sign and what it means, you can go to http://www.findyourfate.com/astrology/moon-astrology/moonsigns.html and plug in your birth date and birth year. This will take you to a chart. Click on the hot link for the day you were born and you will be given a description of the effect of the moon on your personality.
I found my moon sign description to be right on target. Try it and see if it doesn’t explain why you are a bit off your sun sign too!
