How important is moon sign?

I am a Scorpio sun and just found out I have a Sag moon. I read up on some of the personality characteristics and I can relate with most of it but do not find myself to be the outgoing type of person.

I like to have fun at a party but it usually takes me a while to feel out the atmosphere. Honestly, I'm a very shy Scorpio but get a few drinks in me and watch out! :-P

Hi, Aramei.

Moon signs are very important. They show how we instinctively receive and interpret information from the outside world. The Moon sign also indicates how much we remember things, our habitual behaviors and prejudices. In other words, the Moon rules our feelings.

Most astrologers say both the Sun and the Moon have nearly the same importance because they have roughly the same size (astrologically). They represent different parts of our personality, though. The Moon is said to represents our "inner child", whereas the Sun represents our "inner adult". Sun equals Ego/wants. Moon equals Id/needs.

It is said that we resemble our Moon sign the most when we are born and we slowly start becoming like our Sun sign as we grow. The "Moon" part of us may get "censored" by our "Sun" part after we become adults. However, that "censorship" can only do as much as preventing our prejudices from being acted out. Our feelings will always be there, they cannot be restrained completely.

Your Moon is in Sagittarius. You have a need for personal freedom and space. You need to go out, meet new people, travel. Routine may be bad for your health. Also when you listen to other people, you tend to catch the main idea easily. But you don't pay attention to the details or, if you do, you forget them in no time. This is why you probably prefer not making detailed plans. You just go with it hoping something good will come out. Generally, it will because you are highly adaptable in unpredictable situations. Also your optimism tends to be contagious so it should be easy to get help when you need it.

Well, I don't really know if you bothered to get all the way down here, lol. Thanks if you did and hopefully it helps.
