Even the moon in the tarot has already a special meaning that leads us to our inner path. At the lower edge of the card you see flowing water, which in the Tarot always symbolises the subconscious. It is no coincidence that water is associated with the moon here.

After all, the moon is the ruler of ebb and flow. The two dogs standing opposite each other - one is tamed, the other wild - stands for the polarity of our own nature, which is always in competition: between what we instinctively want and what we show of ourselves to the outside world - the civilised side.

Accordingly, the Moon sign is also dedicated to emotionality and asks us: "What do we really want?" to bring our soul into harmony with our innermost needs.

For the sensitive star sign Cancer, the Moon is the associated celestial star. We thus associate it with the empathic side, which expresses itself in care and creativity and makes the star sign Cancer the "mother star sign", while Capricorn - in exact opposition - takes on the "father" part among the zodiac signs.

But there are other reasons why the Moon is associated with the feminine. A lunar cycle lasts until the next full moon as long as the female cycle: 28 days. That's why people in France still ask "T'as tes lunes?" ("Do you have your moon?").

The cyclical nature of the moon, the waxing and waning of its appearance in the sky, its influence on the ebb and flow of the tide, was already compared to pregnancy in antiquity. Hence the feminine connotation.

How can the moon sign be calculated?

Like the ascendant, it can also be calculated online according to the time of birth. There are many services you can choose from.

Moon Sign Aries

Holla! Holla! Not all at once! If you're in the moon sign Aries, you're known for your stormy emotions and extremes. Falling in love? Moon Aries are world champions at that. However, bitchy people are not theirs and then they go their separate ways very quickly. After all, life is too short for problems. Known for their temperament, this is also expressed in a short fuse. In their fiery emotions they are the ones who always tell their friends the truth - and only true friends say that!

Ellen DeGeneres, Jared Leto, Daniel Craig, Angelina Jolie, Andy Warhol

Moon Sign Gemini

You love to surround yourself with people because, after all, you feed off encounters with others. As a social butterfly you introduce others to each other and are happy when you have been successful as a match maker. You are witty and charming, restless and full of energy. This can be so infectious that they are always at the top of everyone's guest list.
But people with the moon sign Gemini are also thinkers who not only overthink feelings but can also sometimes become quite moody if they don't think things are going fast enough. Quickly bored by routine, they then belong to those who can adapt to any situation. In times like these, that's worth its weight in gold! Chapeau!

Moon Sign Cancer

This is where the Cancer:ins swim in their element: the Moon sign Cancer once again intensifies the emotions of the already existing and settles into its in the ruled celestial star. What does this mean? People with the moon sign Cancer are very caring and intuitive. They know exactly what others are missing and also have their sentimental sides and corresponding moods. Dreams during sleep have an almost fortune-telling quality. Listen to them! People with the Moon sign Cancer are not resentful, although this can result in them letting others overstep their boundaries all too often and looking too little after themselves.

Stars with Cancer in the Moon:

Keanu Reeves, Dua Lipa, Catherine, Princess of Wales, Hedy Lamarr, Christian Dior, Louis-François Cartier

Moon Sign Libra

Similar to the Moon sign Aquarius, people with Moon in Libra long for justice. However, their diplomatic skills are even more pronounced, for you have the gift of living in particular harmony with others. Arguing is not your thing at all, because you see different perspectives and can also use them to gain an advantage. However, it is not always best to be too diplomatic - it could quickly be taken advantage of. That's why it's especially important to draw boundaries and stick to them. A life project for the Libra, who wants to please everyone much too quickly and therefore quickly gets underfoot when the egomaniacs are on the move once again. The Moon sign Libra should be especially wary of narcissists, because with their good nature and striving for harmony they are an ideal target to satisfy their interests.

Stars with Moon sign Libra:

Leonardo DiCaprio, Louis Vuitton, Romy Schneider, Maria Callas

Moon Sign Virgo

People with the Moon in Virgo like to be helpful and teach others their arts and skills. This makes them particularly popular and also fulfils them to make a practical contribution to society. However, because Virgo Moons think so much for others, they always have a tight schedule and forget themselves all too quickly. They are like teachers on a school trip - always thinking for "the little ones". Does this sound familiar? If it gets too much for you, let your loved ones out of the house without an umbrella - you will see how quickly a) they appreciate you and b) the "little ones" become more independent. Because as it is with Virgo's energy, she is an organiser and likes to take care of the concerns of others with her motherly manner. This is praiseworthy, but as an earth sign you should also sit back once in a while and put your feet in the sand. Yes, you can do that!

Stars with moon sign Virgo:

Madonna, Donatella Versace, Jane Birkin, Rami Malek

Moon Sign Sagittarius

The fiery energy of Sagittarius, which peaks in December, is a perfect match for Advent, which falls at the same time. Sagittarians love it cosy with a cup of mulled wine in front of the fireplace, but enjoy a brilliant party with friend:in just as well. This is very similar for people with the moon sign Sagittarius. Your hot temper and passion make you ardent lovers who simply won't settle for mediocrity. "All or nothing!" is the motto. And with that you are swimming on the positive wave that friends and family appreciate so much about you. For while others would have given up long ago, you are on the move and don't let it get you down, but you also tend to be restless. By the way, you get along excellently with people who are in the Moon sign, Aquarius, Pisces or Cancer.

Stars with Moon in Sagittarius:

Ava Gardner, Oprah Winfrey, Naomi Campbell, Jil Sander, Picasso

Moon Sign Aquarius

The Moon sign Aquarius likes to experience its feelings as part of a community and links its emotions based on its values rather than its sensitivities. Thus, Aquarians and Aquarians are generally very quick to get angry about injustice, even when it happens to others - which also quickly earns them the title of "Social Justice Warrior". The Moon sign Aquarius likes to observe the culture and society he/she lives in, analyse it and think about the future. Although they sometimes delve into the depths of the human soul, they still believe in the good. It is no coincidence that we have only recently entered the Age of Aquarius, as the zodiac sign represents collective thinking and consciousness, something that is becoming more and more pronounced in our increasingly interconnected world. As highly social beings, those born under the Moon sign Aquarius are very communicative and "centre of attention" in their own unique way. However, people with the Moon sign Aquarius also often feel very torn, because although they love people, they are usually drawn back and love to be completely autonomous, independent and alone to the extreme.

Stars with moon sign Aquarius:

Muhammad Ali, Rosamund Pike, Marylin Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren

Moon Sign Pisces

You are a "hardcore" and emotional daydreamer. Almost "built close to the water", you could say. But as a Pisces this is not surprising, because Pisces are the epitome of feeling and are popular for their empathy. However, you also need a partner who is open to your emotionality, otherwise your emotional potential will atrophy or you will be confronted with a lack of understanding. That would be disastrous in view of the empathic talent! So don't let yourself be labelled as "shy", because distancing yourself is important to keep your own emotionality in check and to draw boundaries, precisely because you perceive so much on the outside.
Important for all Moon sign Pisces: Their waters may be deep, but if they are criticised too much, the deep sea can also make quite a ripple - and then the others should take cover.

Michelle Obama, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jason Mamoa, Frank Sinatra, Coco Chanel
