How
can Moon Signs help me?
In general, Astrology not only gives us insight about ourselves, but also how we relate with others. Many people rely only on the Zodiac's Sun Signs to determine their astrological compatibility. However, that is only the top surface of the overall relationship. The Sun Signs mostly represent your personality. Your emotional and instinctual needs in relationships are represented by the Moon's placement in your chart. To get a different perspective of your compatibility desires based on your emotional needs, we must include the interaction of the Moon Signs between two individuals. The first problem here is that finding our Moon Sign is not as easy as finding our Sun Sign.

You may need to check your natal chart to find out what sign of the zodiac your Moon is placed. But this is an important step to discovering more about yourself and others. In astrology, the Moon rules over your emotions and deep-rooted feelings. Particularly, the Moon Sign can tell us how we instinctively react within relationships. Some Moon Signs will blend together better than others.

Self knowledge can be the most beneficial power we can gain within a relationship and over our own lives. Understanding our own needs and desires is where we find the true value of astrology. The next step is to understand how our own needs will harmonize with the needs of another.

Actually, you can use Moon Match to gauge almost any relationship if you want to move beyond the romance realm and into day-to-day relationships. Enter your dad, your mom, your best friend, or anyone you interact with on a regular basis.

In response to the never-ending debate of fate versus choice, most astrologers are fond of quoting the ancient Greek adage, " astra inclinant, non necessitant " (the stars always incline, they never determine). So understanding yourself when making your life's choices, in addition to understanding your partner at an emotional level, is a key to a successful and joyful relationship, no matter what Moon Signs the two of you happen to have.

In our entire solar system, the only object that shines with its own light is the Sun. That light always beams onto Earth and Moon from the direction of the Sun, illuminating half of our planet in its orbit and reflecting off the surface of the Moon to create moonlight.
Like Earth, the Moon has a day side and a night side, which change as the Moon rotates. The Sun always illuminates half of the Moon while the other half remains dark, but how much we are able to see of that illuminated half changes as the Moon travels through its orbit.
Let’s take a look at the individual phases, and how the movements of the Moon and Sun appear to us as we watch from the Northern Hemisphere on Earth:
This is the invisible phase of the Moon, with the illuminated side of the Moon facing the Sun and the night side facing Earth. In this phase, the Moon is in the same part of the sky as the Sun and rises and sets with the Sun. Not only is the illuminated side facing away from the Earth, it’s also up during the day! Remember, in this phase, the Moon doesn’t usually pass directly between Earth and the Sun, due to the inclination of the Moon’s orbit. It only passes near the Sun from our perspective on Earth.
This silver sliver of a Moon occurs when the illuminated half of the Moon faces mostly away from Earth, with only a tiny portion visible to us from our planet. It grows daily as the Moon’s orbit carries the Moon’s dayside farther into view. Every day, the Moon rises a little bit later.
The Moon is now a quarter of the way through its monthly journey and you see half of its illuminated side. People may casually call this a half moon, but remember, that’s not really what you’re witnessing in the sky. You’re seeing just a slice of the entire Moon ― half of the illuminated half. A first quarter moon rises around noon and sets around midnight. It’s high in the sky in the evening and makes for excellent viewing.
Now most of the Moon’s dayside has come into view, and the Moon appears brighter in the sky.
This is as close as we come to seeing the Sun’s illumination of the entire day side of the Moon (so, technically, this would be the real half moon). The Moon is opposite the Sun, as viewed from Earth, revealing the Moon’s dayside. A full moon rises around sunset and sets around sunrise. The Moon will appear full for a couple of days before it moves into…
As the Moon begins its journey back toward the Sun, the opposite side of the Moon now reflects the Moon’s light. The lighted side appears to shrink, but the Moon’s orbit is simply carrying it out of view from our perspective. The Moon rises later and later each night.
The Moon looks like it’s half illuminated from the perspective of Earth, but really you’re seeing half of the half of the Moon that’s illuminated by the Sun ― or a quarter. A last quarter moon, also known as a third quarter moon, rises around midnight and sets around noon.
The Moon is nearly back to the point in its orbit where its dayside directly faces the Sun, and all that we see from our perspective is a thin curve.
When we think of the way the Moon seems to change over the course of a month, we think of phases. But frequent Moon observers know that the Moon also appears to twist, nod, and roll slightly during its journey across the sky, allowing us to peek around the Moon's shoulder and catch glimpses of the farside. This phenomenon is called libration.
Because the Moon's orbit is not perfectly circular, its distance from Earth and its speed in orbit both change slightly throughout the month. The Moon’s rate of rotation around its own axis, though, always stays the same.
When the Moon is at its closest to Earth and moving most quickly along its orbital path, the Moon itself doesn’t rotate quite fast enough to keep entirely the same side facing us, and we get to see a little more of the eastern side of the Moon. When the Moon is farthest from Earth and orbiting at its slowest, its rotation gets a little ahead, and we see a bit more of its western side. We call this motion “libration in longitude.”
The 5 degree tilt of the Moon’s orbit also causes it to appear to nod, as though it were saying “yes.” The tilt sometimes brings the Moon above Earth’s northern hemisphere, and sometimes below Earth’s southern hemisphere, allowing us to see slightly more of the northern or southern hemispheres of the Moon. We call this motion “libration in latitude.”
Finally, the Moon appears to tilt back and forth like a metronome. The tilt of the Moon’s orbit contributes to this, but it’s mostly due to the tilt of our Earth. Earth has a tilt of 23.5 degrees on its axis, which means that when we observe the Moon from Earth, it’s a little like we’re standing sideways on a ramp. If you look left, the ramp slopes up. If you look right, the ramp slopes down. In front of you, the horizon looks higher on the right and lower on the left. If you turn around, the horizon appears to tilt the opposite way.
The tilted ramp works the same as the tilted “platform” of the Earth beneath our feet. Every two weeks, we have to look in the opposite direction to see the Moon, and the ground beneath our feet is then tilted the opposite way as well.
Sometimes, when the Moon is in one of its crescent phases, we can still see the darkened area of the Moon’s nearside shining dimly. This effect is caused by the Sun’s light reflecting off Earth’s surface onto the face of the Moon. Because Earth at that point in its orbit is nearly full from the Moon’s perspective, the light it reflects, called earthshine, is bright enough to dimly illuminate the darkened surface.
Though the Moon is often thought of as a nighttime visitor, it’s also visible during the day as a faint, pale presence. The best times to see a daytime Moon are perhaps during the first and last quarter phases, when the Moon is high enough above the horizon and at about 90 degrees from the Sun in the sky. This helps make the Sun’s reflected light bright enough to see as it reflects off of the Moon. The Moon can be seen in the daylit sky at any phase except for the new moon, when it’s invisible to us, and full moon, when it’s below the horizon during the day. The crescent through quarter phases are high in the sky during the day, but the daytime gibbous phases can be glimpsed only just before the Sun sets.
Spend the next month getting to know the Moon and its phases by filling out your own observation journal.

How Each Of The 8 Moon Phases Affect Your Love Life
By Deborah Roth — Written on Oct 29, 2020
The energies associated with each of the 8 Moon phases affect each of us in various ways.
Lunar energy can have a significant impact on your love life and your mood, influencing your behaviors and your relationships. By understanding the energy specific to each phase of the Moon, you'll have a greater knowledge of how to harness them so you can have the best love life possible.
If there’s one constant in the night sky, it’s the changing face of the Moon. Certainly, the most obvious is the brilliant orb of the Full Moon, but there are actually eight distinct phases of the Moon, and represents a different theme you can tap into.
Whether you’re an ardent Moon-lover who tracks the Moon phases on a calendar every single month or you just happen to notice the lunar phase occasionally, there’s no denying that the Moon has a powerful influence on our outer world in many ways.
Just look at the effect the Moon has on the tides. Is it any wonder that, with our bodies made up of more than 60 percent water (80 percent at birth), we humans are inexorably tied to Her rhythms as well?
But as many sensitive souls will tell you, Moon phases can deeply affect our inner world as well. Yes, I’m one of those sensitive souls, a Moon baby, born under the sign of Cancer, which in astrology is ruled by the Moon . But I promise, it’s not just us Cancers who feel Her gentle (and sometimes not so gentle!) pull.
The powerful impact of the Moon has been highlighted since ancient times. Both Greek philosopher Aristotle and Roman historian Pliny the Elder proposed that the brain was the “moistest” organ and therefore humans were particularly susceptible to the changes in the Moon.
And in modern times, astrologer Dane Rudhyar was the first to outline the psychological meaning of the phases of the Moon in his classic book, The Lunation Cycle .
So, how can you take all this lunar wisdom and use it to enhance your love life?
The New Moon is also known as the dark of the Moon. This is when the Sun and Moon dance their closest in the sky, with the Earth wiggling in between them, and the Moon seems to disappear into the Earth’s shadow.
This phase corresponds to growth and new beginnings. It’s a time for reflection, for alone time to re-build your energy and not to be influenced by others.
If you’re single, that might mean chilling out by yourself on a Saturday night and thinking about what your non-negotiable traits are for your ideal life partner.
Likewise, if you’re in a relationship already, both of you can take some time for solitary reflection about what you each need more or less of from each other. Jot some ideas down so that when you come together in the next phase, you can start sharing.
This occurs about three and a half days after the New Moon through the seventh day. The Moon looks like a fingernail at this point, facing to the left in the sky.
Gardeners know this is a good time to plant seeds and you can do that figuratively, too!
Start to get more concrete about setting intentions based on your Moon ruminating. Whether on your own or with your partner, create a vision board or make a wish list of those qualities or ideas you want to bring into your love life.
This is about seven to ten days after the New Moon. The Moon continues to grow from a crescent toward her full glory.
This phase corresponds to the development and growth of life, as well as the expression and expansion of new ideas and direction; a "crisis of action," according to astrologer Dane Rudyard.
Action is the keyword here. If you’re single, that means putting some wheels on your relationship quest — get yourself signed up for online dating or start to read some of the great books that are out there: Calling in the One by Katherine Woodward Thomas, or Are You the One for Me by Barbara DeAngelis are good to start with.
And for you married or partnered folks, now is the time to dive into the meaty relationship issues, ideas, or requests you shared with each other in the crescent Moon phase. There may be some dicey conversations to be had — the first quarter Moon is when you can encounter your first challenges to the intentions you’ve set.
Definitely read John Gottman’s modern classic, Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work , if you haven’t already.
This phase is ten to thirteen days after the New Moon. At this point, the Moon looks like a pregnant belly, which is a great metaphor for the energy of this phase! The last months of pregnancy require flexibility and patience, just like you’ll need to practice as you get deeper into the relationship intentions you’ve set for yourself.
You’ll find there are changes you’ll need to make as you face reality. How will you adjust and refine your expectations both for yourself and/or for your partner?
That can mean literally tweaking your online dating profile after you’ve attracted a few duds, or maybe seeking out a couples’ coach if the two of you have reached a particularly sticky place in your relationship.
This encompasses the three days before and after the Full Moon. This is the Moon phase that’s most easily identifiable and, coincidentally, the one that’s most commonly associated with love and romance. So go for it!
If the Gibbous Moon represented the last stages of pregnancy, the Full Moon is about giving birth to plans made and projects started since the New Moon. It’s a time when we can feel most vibrant and creative and want to celebrate all we’ve accomplished so far.
In the relationship arena, that means a night out on the town! Go to a fun singles event and be prepared to use some of those dating skills and techniques you’ve been studying. New opportunities can show up as a result of your hard work.
Likewise, for couples — plan a night out just to enjoy each other, doing things you love most. Dinner and a movie? A moonlit cruise? Club hopping with lots of dancing and great music? Take a look at what zodiac sign the Full Moon falls in and use that as a guide, too.
Also known as the Disseminating Moon, this phase happens three to seven days after the Full Moon. This is the time to share your adventures and what you’ve learned with others.
This Moon phase is associated with the teacher archetype. Continue to celebrate the fruits of your labors, but now expand it into your circle of friends and family. This phase of the Moon prompts you to feel grateful and to show your gratitude in loving, generous ways.
For singles, you might take a special friend out to dinner or find a little gift to show your appreciation for their support and presence in your life.
If you’re in a relationship, how about inviting a few of your favorite couples to dinner? If you’re comfortable, let them know what you and your partner have discovered (or re-discovered) about yourselves. Maybe even invite your guests to go around and share what they most love and appreciate about their own partners.
The third quarter waning Moon occurs seven to ten days after the Full Moon. When the Moon is in this half-full phase, you'll feel a growing urge to turn your energies inward for reflection; Rudhyard calls it a "crisis of consciousness."
You begin to clean the slates and finish up old business, to regroup and prepare for the energy of the next lunation cycle.
In your relationship work, this is a powerful time to forgive yourself or others for past mistakes and to let go of self-limiting beliefs that may be holding you back. Are you still holding out for a toxic ex-boyfriend to come back? Do you feel like you’re not pretty/young/smart enough to attract or keep a terrific partner? Are you stuck in a pattern of criticism or judgment with your sweetheart and want to banish it once and for all?
Write down whatever that old baggage is and create a simple releasing ritual — burn it, bury it, or flush it down the toilet!
Also known as the Balsamic Moon, this occurs ten to thirteen days after the Full Moon. Everything is now ending and the energy has been spent.
This is the time for reflection and introspection as you get ready to go deep into the crescent Moon phase.
Whether you’re single or in a long-term relationship, it’s important to withdraw from the world periodically and recharge your batteries. You might even consider a retreat to a nearby spiritual center or monastery. The idea is to relax and surrender into whatever inklings bubble up from your deep unconscious.
Your intuition is thought to be at its height during the darkest phases of the Moon. Do some divination with tarot or the i Ching for some guidance into what you want to focus on for the next lunar cycle.
