Moon Sign Meaning and Link to Moon Signs Calculator: Moon signs are an astrological term indicating which zodiac sign the moon’s presence was in during the time of our birth.

You’ll know your lunar sign by the date, time and place of your birth. These details indicate the placement of the moon within the 12 zodiac signs when you were born.For example, if the moon was stationed within the constellation of Sagittarius on your birthday, then….you guessed it, your lunar sign would be Sagittarius.

The page is devoted to the symbolism of moon in astrological signs.

In a nutshell, a moon sign is the polarity of a sun sign (sun signs being the most commonly known, and the sign on which your horoscope in the newspapers is based).

Sun signs are assertive, active, vital, outgoing and these are the personality aspects of ourselves we willingly expose to the world around us. (see Symbolism of the Sun here)

Lunar signs, however are quite the opposite. They represent the unseen, intuitive, emotional, psychic, instinctive perspectives of our personality.

When I think of moon signs, I alway recall this passage in Billy Joel’s song, The Stranger. I added the {} bits to elaborate. Check it:

“Well, we all have a face
That we hide away forever {or sometimes}
And we take them out and show ourselves
When everyone has gone {although, sometimes they eek out in front of others}
Some are satin, some are steel
Some are silk and some are leather
They’re the faces of the stranger {moon sign}
And we love to try them on.

~Billy Joel

To reiterate, there is a difference between moon signs and sun signs. Moon signs are parts of our personality that tend to live in shadow until the light of awareness shines about them. Sun signs are the aspects of ourselves that we show to the world without any need for exposure.

Some astrologists maintain our moon sign represents our unconscious. I don’t know if I buy that, because some of us are extremely aware of our moon-side behaviors. And, if we’re aware of a thing, we’re certainly conscious of it.

I would agree, however, that lunar signs are symbolic of our shadow selves. Those aspects we keep secret. We might even keep some of these aspects secrets from ourselves – and that would certainly go under the category of “unconscious.”

Lunar signs are connected with our primitive instinct too, and so a modicum of unconsciousness could be involved here. Many instincts can be judged as distasteful, and so the moon can hide that unpleasant aspect from ourselves.

Many of us are unwilling to investigate our moon signs for fear of touching those dark aspects of ourselves. But just because our lunar personality traits are cloaked, doesn’t mean their bad.

“Shoot for the moon.
Even if you miss, you will be among the stars.”
(I know, it’s overused, but still a great quote!)

~Les Brown

This is a common misunderstanding. In fact, we owe it to ourselves to explore our shadow sides. We experience unbalance by not knowing ourselves fully (light and dark) – and that unbalance can represent major problems.

Besides, lunar signs are amazing keys unlocking a myriad of mysteries within us and the world around us.

For example, our lunar sign is also a clue to our maternal instincts as well as traits we may have inherited from our mothers.

There are scads of esoteric doors that our lunar sign holds the key to unlocking.
