Astrool Moon Sign
The sign the Moon was in when you were born: your emotional nature, instinctive reactions and what you need to feel safe.
Definition
The Moon crosses the whole zodiac in about 27.3 days, staying around two and a half days in each sign. Your Moon sign is the one it occupied at your birth. Because it moves so fast, a birth time can matter: on a day when the Moon changes sign, morning and evening births have different Moon signs.
What it describes
- How you process feelings and react under stress
- What comforts you and what you need from a home and partner
- Habits and memories, the inherited and the instinctive
- Your relationship with your mother or primary carer

In Vedic astrology
Jyotish gives the Moon sign, called Rashi, more weight than the Sun. Daily forecasts, Sade Sati and Guna Milan matching are all read from it.

How do I find my Moon sign?
Enter your birth date, time and place in Astrool. The time matters if the Moon changed sign on your birthday.
