It would be difficult to find someone who doesn't know their Sun Sign. But there are very few non-astrologers who know that each of us has his or her Moon Sign - the Sign of the Zodiac where the Moon was at the moment of their birth.
As there is no day without night, the astrological description of a person using just his or her Sun Sign will be incomplete and partial. This is especially true for women, since the Moon in astrology is the patroness of women, and in personality it rules the qualities which are especially important for women.
The Sun is associated with our consciousness, purposeful activities, and the Sun Sign describes the kind of energy which powers its owner. But which part of your day is given to purposeful activities? Believe me, not very much.
Say, for example, you are on the way to your job. What is your mind busy with? Playing a favourite song? Recollecting the pleasant moments of the past weekend? The most business-minded of us might be planning the events of the coming day... And this is all.
At the same time your body is busy with plenty of things. Your stomach is still digesting breakfast, it is secreting strictly measured amounts of different chemical ingredients. Muscles are contracting according to the most complicated rules in order just to give you the ability to walk. Many other things are happening simultaneously, which you can't even imagine. All this unimaginable amount of work is being done not by our limited consciousness, but by the boundless Unconscious, which is represented in astrology by the Moon.
Our Moon Sign becomes most noticeable when we are restoring ourselves after significant stress, when we are relaxing after a period of concentrated purposeful activity. The job of consciousness is completed, and the Unconscious arises to restore the balance in the body, bring everything into its normal state.
Those who have the Moon in Gemini are in a hurry to express their troubles, as if to drive out the stress with their words. Those who have their Moon in Taurus hurry to the kitchen to have a snack, and I am yet to meet someone with a Scorpio Moon who doesn't love an extremely hot bath or shower.
The Moon Sign is also important for many other facets of human life. It shows the peculiarities of one's emotions, typical habits, the most sensitive parts of the body, how digestion works, which kind of diet is most appropriate for the person, and many other different things.
All right, you might say, but if our Moon Sign is so important, why do only a few of us know our Moon Sign? The problem is that you cannot determine your Moon Sign from just your birth day, as you do with your Sun Sign. The laws of the Moon's motion are quite complicated, and to find out your Moon Sign special tables are needed - or a special program.
We have created such a program and made it available for everyone. Just enter your date and time of birth, and then press the Calculate button. You will see the Sign of the Zodiac in which the Moon was at your birth, as also our description of such a placement. All the Moon readings are taken from the book "Teach Yourself Astrology" by Alexander Kolesnikov.
We hope that the knowledge of the Moon Sign will help you to become happier, healthier and to understand other people better.
