What’s The Meaning Of Full Moons and New Moons For My Zodiac Sign?
Astrology addicts gather round: Today we’re going to talk about a little thing called moon signs, a lesser-known (but highly important nonetheless) part of your birth chart. When most people read their horoscopes or look something up according to their zodiac sign, they’re generally only looking at their sun sign. But your birth chart is a vast and complicated place, and sun signs only represent one side (albeit an important one) of your personality.
But if you’re into ~lunar magic~ then you know that the moon is super important, too — so naturally, knowing your moon sign and what it represents is a must. There are even some cases where your moon sign might be more important than your sun sign altogether, so moon signs are not to be slept on!
To break it down, sun signs represent our basic personalities. As explained by Cafe Astrology, a sun sign “shows our style, our life purpose, and some might say, our destiny,” and can be thought of as the “boss” of your personality.
Conversely, the moon represents your inner self and your more hidden side — like your emotions, desires, and subconscious feelings. While the sun is on display in the full light of day, the moon only shines at night — and you can think of the parts of yourself governed by these planetary placements in the same way. Your moon sign represents the more hidden, intimate, and emotional aspects of your personality that are just beneath the surface — not generally quite as obvious and “in charge” as your sun sign’s side can be.
We’re going to be talking about the meanings of the New and Full Moons depending on your zodiac sign. The New Moon is a time of reflection and introspection, perfect for new beginnings and/or new plans in life. The Full Moon, however, is a time of peak energy. They are for completing certain goals, outpouring creativity, and harvesting. Everything comes out in the wake of a Full Moon.
