What is a moon sign?
Your sun sign comes from your birth date and describes your outer personality. Your moon sign comes from where the moon was in the zodiac at the moment you were born, and it describes your inner, emotional self: how you feel, what soothes you, and what you need to feel safe. Because the moon changes sign about every two and a half days, your birth time helps pin it down exactly.
Moon sign vs sun sign
You might be a confident Leo by your sun sign but a tender Cancer by your moon sign. Both are true: the sun is who you are becoming, the moon is who you are underneath. Together with your birth moon phase they paint a fuller picture.

Why is my moon sign different from my star sign?
