An introduction to Moon Sign Astrology
Moon sign astrology is a great tool that can help depict and understand one's emotions. Moon signs are quite common in astrology but are overshadowed by the popularity of Sun signs. While most people know what their Sun sign is, hardly anyone knows his or her moon sign and what moon signs are supposed to depict.
The moon is a very powerful astrological symbol. The moon was praised by Romans while it was feared by Victorians. Scientists study the effects of the moon on the tides of the earth and sociologists related the moon to the fluctuation in crime rates.
The Sun signs and its placement depict what others see in you, the Moon signs and its placement in the universe depicts what you see inside yourself. As Sun signs symbolize your conscious mind, moon signs symbolize your unconscious state of being. This is the reason why moon signs and their meanings are clearly seen in dreams than in your waking hours.
Moon sign astrology tries to read your emotions in every situation and every developmental task in life. This type of astrology is also good at depicting your love life since it values emotions and feelings more than anything. Do not confuse your Moon sign with your Sun sign, the one you read in your daily horoscope in the papers. You moon sign should in no way overshadow your sun sign; rather it should modify, correct, or improve it.

In order to know what your moon sign is trying to tell you, you have to work with a moon chart. You also have to take note of the day, the month, and the year you were born. You can use the moon chart as a guide to tell your moon sign reading.
