SUN SIGN vs. MOON SIGN

OKay so we all know about sun sign basics, personalities, connections between the sun signs, but I just learned about the MOON sign, which goes a little deeper than the surface. It's like the real you, all your thoughts and feelings, which you do or do no...

Sun - Taurus
Moon - Gem
Rising - Sag
I can definitely see the Gem influence coming out in me a lot of the time, and my rising seems at odds with my sun as well, so I always feel pulled between doing the same old things and being more creative and spontaneous.
Sun: Capricorn
Moon: Sagittarius
It's quite a paradox...
Pisces Sun
Libra Moon
Virgo Rising
Libra sun, Pisces moon and rising---> I hate dealing with my emotions and I'm uncomfortable dealing with others emotions....I like my emotions to remain under tight tight tight control...I think my personality favors more of the Pisces than Libra I have a tendency to withdraw... and I dream a lot... space cadety...intuitive...but I seem to bounce back and forth...
"sun - virgo
moon - leo
ascendant - capri..
what does that say about me? does that mean i have a torn personality?"
LOL...you call that torn?? Mine should be more like "torn"
Sun-Capri
Moon-Sagittarius
Ascendant-Aquarius
Earth+Fire+Air Confused
lol
Sun in Pisces on Aries Cusp
Moon in Aries
"It's quite a paradox..."
Additionally my Rising is in Sag, which out of all my planetary alignments I feel connected to the least.
sun - taurus (earth - fixed)
moon - taurus (earth - fixed)
asc - scorpio (water - fixed)
c=man should be fixed-man! LOL
signed,
sun in virgo
moon in taurus
with scorpio rising Winking
What do you think of this combo?
sun Cancer
Moon Libra
asc Gemini
What element is that? Wind, Water, earth? FIRE? Heart? GOOOoo PLANET!! with your powwers combined I am CAPTIN PLANET!
OK.. sorry. but yea what you think?
So far so good. Your planets compliment. If you don't know his birthdate, just type in 12:00 and it will give it to you.
my sun sign - sagittarius
my moon sgn - leo

damn archer, lol i bet you are a beast in the bedroom... Winking
yeah, well I'm a aries riser, so i can take yuh...Winking
So, I was randomly thinking about this:
My sun's in Capricorn
Moon in Sagittarius
Rising in Aquarius (as far as I know)
Does that make me totally unemotional? lol...although I think not...on the contrary, I'm very sensitive and get emotionally hurt very easily....
Ferdy,
I got this from astrology-numerology.com a few weeks ago:
"The Sun and the Moon are two most important astrological bodies for our consideration. The Sun represents the core nature of the individual, while the Moon defines emotional responses often established by upbringing and conditioning. When these two are combined, a more individualized reading emerges."
From my research a couple of weeks ago, your ascendant can also determine how you view the world not just what you present to it. The aspects can also put a rather interesting spin on how things work.
From what I understand, the Sun is the "core" you. The Moon is how you deal with emotions and the Ascendant is how other ppl "see" you....but I'm still a little confused. If the sun is my "core" then shouldn't these quaities reflect outward for ppl to see it? It's not my hidden secret character....cappies are ambitious, well that's obviously "seen" in many cappies...so then what exactly is the true difference between the Sun sign and the Ascendant?Confused
Yeh Ferdy, let's talk about Venus...I want to figure out my true venus sign....b/c apparently I was born when the venus was switching from scorpio to sagittarius...so what is my venus?? Is there such a thing as a cusp for venus???Confused Sometimes I feel like it should be Scorpio b/c I get jealous easily, need commitment, yada yada yada....but then on the other hand, I do like lots of "room" in a relationship and can get idealistic....so idk what I'm...Confused
A lot of interesting "personalities" in here...didn't see this one listed though...
Mine is:
Sun: Aries (late aries)
Moon: Aquarius
Rising: Scorpio
As I've aged I've noticed that the Scorpio and Aquarius traits have become more dominant, and the Aries traits have mellowed and evened out, allowing me to look at things from many more perspectives.
I am a Gemini with Taurus Moon, Taurus Venus.
sorry, I meant EST+10 hours...that would make more sense...lol
i'm an aries sun and libra moon....180 paradox...aka hot mess. i'm disheartened to learn how unstable i am and feel constant discomfort for my direction in life.
1-7 Aries/Libra
The combination of your Sun and Moon signs produces contradictions in your makeup because these signs are precisely opposite one another, a full 180 degrees apart. Aries is naturally independent; the Libra Moon is sometimes very dependent. This is a difficult position presenting a problem between the emotional and mental nature. You are ambitious and eager to please people, with the sort of personality that seems to reach out to others as if you are in need of reassurance and guidance. Your nature is highly individualized, yet you are just as highly dependent on support and sympathy. The contradiction in your nature is that you value your freedom intensely, and while it would appear that your need for support could even result in you being dominated by another, this is never likely to be the case. You can ignore the feelings, opinions, and wishes of others when you get an idea in your head. The ability to concentrate on one thing for a prolonged period is very difficult for you. You can be daydreaming even when by all appearances you are hard at work. The dramatic side of your nature will always make it hard to keep your feet planted firmly on the ground and remain totally practical.
Sun in Taurus and Moon in Pisces-but people say that I am Taurus gemini Cusp.I hve 3 elements in me-smile earth, water and air now I am looking for someone who can set me on fire so that I can get all 4 elements to balance my life.smile
Haha I do definitely believe the moon sign influences a lot as to how you are. My moon sign is in taurus and my emotions are usually grounded. Rarely do I ever "break down". I enjoy the simple things in life and am determined in going far in life. I can be very stubborn too. My sun is leo and so is my ascendant. My boyfriend is virgo with aries ascendant and capricorn moon so it works out really well. :-)
Sun - Cancer
Moon - Taurus
Rising - Capricorn
Taurus helps keep my emotional Cancer side grounded and stable.
Gemini/Taurus Leo risng.
Interesting, Jessabee opposing rising and sun. Do you usually find there's conflict within your identity?
I have all the signs in my chart... yeah it can get pretty chaotic and confusing sometimes Tongue.
I think i have a pretty healthy balance of the elements overall in my own chart; just enough emotion, objectivity, groundedness + passionate fire from activator Mars .. ..all working together in a nice synergy.
Pisces sun (water) -sensitivity
Aquarius moon (air)-objectivity
Taurus asc (earth) -stability
Leo Mars (fire) -passion/fun/creativity
Cap Venus (earth) -responsible/controlled/hardworking
I'm Aries Sun and Gemini moon. This website is great and spot on for me! I think your moon is a huge part of your overall picture.

Aries/Gemini
The combination of your Sun and Moon signs produces one of the most verbally active pairs in the Zodiac. You're likely to dominate any conversation as your mind works fast and releases the information it has processed just as fast. You have to learn to keep things to yourself at least until you've made up your mind, which you don't find easy to do. It is easier for you to make decisions by sitting down and talking things out rather than by closing yourself off, studying the issues and concentrating on the alternatives. Speaking before you think and jumping to conclusions can get you in deep trouble. Success will come easier for you after you have learned, and practice, the art of secrecy, clearly thinking things through before you charge off. This shortcoming notwithstanding, you are likely to get far in the world because of your quick wit and good intentions. Your debate skills allow you to back lesser opponents into the corner with relative ease. Surprisingly, as quick as you act, you have an especially good knack for details. In business, your command of facts and figures gives you the semblance of the perfect executive. Nonetheless, you're often guilty of a little oscillation and indecision stemming from too many superficial facts and too little depth of study. Anyhow, fluency of mind is your primary attribute. Your style of getting bits and pieces of information and using them in a glib and effective way can take far. You may aspire to become an executive. However, the hard decision making necessary here may not be as natural for you as a spot in advertising, the literary world, or in other areas where your outstanding business acumen focused on anything dealing with the spoken or written word can be employed. You should try to overcome a certain superficiality with respect to both intellectual and emotional matters.
i'm a true leo/virgo cusp. sun in leo, moon in virgo. i definitely see both. i display, and am often seen by others, as the fiery leo. i can have somewhat of a dramatic flair, am heavily involved with my creative endeavours (music, theatre), often find myself to be the center of attention, confident, outgoing, warm, generous, extremely loving, and affectionate. then there's the virgo part of me. i can be quite calculating, analytical, and very business which makes me seem unemotional. i am this weird mix of introvert/extravert. though i love socializing i don't like being the center of attention. i actually prefer to be low key. even when out and about in groups, i'll have these brief moments where i need to walk away and have 5 minutes to myself.
Aqua sun Sag Moon and I'm suppose be act like what?????
Ditto Tasha. My bf has an Aries moon too!
Double water is sooo hard, it's like you feel EVERYTHING, even other peoples emotions. Whenever you mix Pisces with Scorpio there is a lot empathic energy. My moon does really define me I think, but I'm very scorpian in not trusting easy. I drown in my own emotions so much I find myself hiding out a lot to avoid getting stressed. And I have to play to capricorn part to cover it all up (which I do very well) since in my family and workplace there are no other double water people to be found. I've had close relationships with Scorpios, but always with Earth and Air moons, and we could connect to some degree, but NEVER fully. I've read in a moon sign book (forget the author) that the most powerful moon signs to have are Scorpio, Pisces and Capricorn. Water for obvious reasons, moon = cancer/water. Capricorn being in opposition. And don't even get me started on romance, it's a miracle I haven't pulled a Freddie Prince after all the depressing dramas I've been through.
I just recently started reading about the Moon, Venus, Mars etc signs and wow did it explain alot and why I feel I'm so complicated yet simple at the same time!
Sun: Taurus
Moon: Aries
Rising: Leo
Venus: Taurus
Mars: Cancer
Mercury: Gemini
At my core I'm very Taurus but my Aries moon always has me restless and I'm frequently irritable or on the prowl. Sometimes I feel the need to just go out somewhere out of nowhere, and I get cranky when I can't.. also get confused when I'm over it in like an hour. It's like my Taurus sun wants me to just stay at home and relax. And when I get upset, yeah, get out the way! lol. I'm very "in your face" when it comes to how I feel about anything, but not so much in a forceful way.. but more in a very stubborn fixed way. I'll let my actions do the talking. My Leo rising makes me wanna go oo-la-la and dance! Lol I can't tell you how many times I've literally made my house my own personal stage, it's so true. In public I'm really lioness like, head held high and very proud-like. That's definitely a facade though. I do love going crazy though just for fun when no ones around, need to get all this nervous energy outta me! I think I'm alot of fun but I feel always restricted at the same time.. Taurus being so cautious and reserved.. and my Fire signs want me to go out and have fun fun~! Definitely have a true heart of fire Big Grin
As for love? Straight up Taurus. Very loving and romantic, loyal to the core. Passionately Cancer I think fits me just fine, although true to the description, I am very protective when it comes to sex. If I feel comfortable with someone though I'm fine, one-on-one I'm at my best smile Oh and how I communicate? Gemini! Love talking.. and yes again with another nervous energy I feel within me all the time. But! I wouldn't want it any other way. It's what I think made the guy I'm interested in as of now, attracted to me. He has a Gemini in Venus. I'm definitely interesting to talk to no doubt, one of the few things I can confidentely boast about Tongue
I've learned in the end that I'm not nutsy (as I used to think), it's just my personality make-up, astroligically-speaking. Makes me feel like I can be myself and can let my Fire sides of me shine out more Big Grin
Skyler, I'm interested to hear more about the strong moon signs you mentioned. It seems I am always attracting scorpio, pisces, and capricorn moon people. It's very consistent. I am scorp with a virgo moon. i would like to know more about those moons, what book was that? can you remember? I have found your statement to be true. the people i've been close to with these moon signs have often confused me as far as their behavior and responses being in contradiction to their sun signs, and i've come to find out that their moon signs have a very powerful influence on them. although it's obvious and i can figure out the apparent affects the water signs would have as well as the affect a cap moon would have on a person's sun, i'd love to hear any more information you have about this and how they are in relationships. thanks!
cancer :sun
pisces :moon

yeah....... i long to turn down the sensitivity level often smile is that where drugs and alcohol comes in? lol

i dig water signs but i get stuck with water signs with fire sign moons and that sucks and never works out. i enjoy fire sign moons for friendships but just too much emotional drama and selfishness to stand. double water signs have a different flow too them.
I'm a scorpio with an Aries Moon.... still no clue what that means as I am so scorpio it's ridiculous
no offense, scorpio with an aries moon Tongue ive had one of those before......

haha well I am weird,I have 0 influence from the moon sign, I actually laughed when I found out.
theres no way u have zero influence from your aries moon.......
scorp and aries share a planet, so there are many similarities between the two strong, powerful signs, despite the differences. you probably think you're full on scorp but you are probably just not seeing where the scorp ends and the aries begins, if you know what i mean. nonetheless, the influence is definitely there. there's no doubt that you would be a different person if you had a say, aqua moon or cap moon paired with your scorp sun.
^^^^^thats what i was thinking
hmmm.. I will have to look into that I suppose. I have read a bunch of Aries stuff since my ex hubby was an aries and didn't see much of anything. Guess I will revisit it now.
I'm all 3 mutable: Sun in Virgo, Moon in Pisces, and Rising in Gemini. What a ride!
My sun sign is Aries and my moon sign is virgo... not sure if it makes me..
