Moon signs, explained

Your Moon sign is the zodiac sign the Moon was in when you were born. Because the Moon changes sign every two to two and a half days, it's more personal than your Sun sign. Astrologers read it as your emotional side: what you need to feel safe, how you process feelings and how you recharge.
