When you think of your Zodiac sign, you probably think of your Sun sign. This is the sign determined by the date on which you were born.

For example, if you are born between March 21 and April 19, you are an Aries.

Interestingly, your Sun sign is only one of your three Zodiac signs that shape your persona. Don’t forget to also take a look at your Rising and Moon sign to get the full picture.

Here is what your Rising and Moon signs can tell you and how you can find yours! 🌛✨

Your Rising Sign

Your Rising sign is the Zodiac sign that determines how you express yourself to the outside world and how others perceive you. It is basically your image in the world.

Your Sun sign, which is the sign determined by your date of birth, determines who you are at the core. This is not per se what others can see about you, but this is who you intrinsically are.

With the fire sign Aries (ruled by the planet Mars) as your moon sign, you are very fiery on an emotional level. You can quickly get fired up, but you can also quickly move on from a situation.

You love to be independent, take the lead in a situation, and do things on your own. You don’t have a lot of patience for overly long emotional conversations.

Advice: Take note of where your fiery reactions are setting bad blood with people. By becoming aware of them, you can learn to control your emotions in a way they don’t become an obstacle for you.

Taurus Moon Sign Meaning

With the moon in Taurus you are quite steady on an emotional level. You don’t let your emotions sway you off course too easily.

You have a strong need for physical comfort and you love the pleasures in the physical/material world that life has to offer. You really know how to enjoy yourself!

Cancer Moon Sign Meaning

Cancer is a water sign, and just like water, highly impacted by the moon. You have a strong emotional life and are very sensitive to outside influences.
