Moon Sign Calculator
Discover your emotional nature and inner world by calculating your moon sign. Your moon sign reveals how you process emotions, what you need to feel secure, and your instinctive reactions.
What Is Your Moon Sign?
While your sun sign represents your outer personality and ego, your moon sign represents your emotional core and inner self. It's the sign the Moon was in at the exact moment you were born.
Your moon sign influences:
- How you process and express emotions
- What makes you feel safe and secure
- Your instinctive reactions and habits
- Your relationship with your mother and home
- What nurtures and comforts you
Unlike your sun sign (which only requires your birth date), calculating your moon sign requires your exact birth time and location because the Moon moves through all 12 zodiac signs approximately every 28 days—changing signs roughly every 2.5 days.
Why Birth Time Is Critical
The Moon moves approximately 13 degrees per day, which means it can change signs in as little as a few hours. Even a difference of 2-3 hours in your birth time could result in a completely different moon sign.
Where to find your birth time:
- Birth certificate (most reliable source)
- Hospital records
- Baby book or family records
- Ask your parents or relatives
If you don't have your exact birth time, you can still get an approximation, but for the most accurate results, the exact time is essential.
Understanding Your Moon Sign
Each moon sign has unique emotional needs and expressions:
Fire Moons (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
Passionate, spontaneous, and need excitement and action to feel emotionally fulfilled.
Earth Moons (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
Practical, grounded, and need stability, security, and tangible results to feel safe.
Air Moons (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
Intellectual, social, and need mental stimulation and communication to process emotions.
Water Moons (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
Deeply emotional, intuitive, and need emotional connection and understanding to feel secure.
