What is a Moon sign?
The Moon at your birth
Your Moon sign is the zodiac sign occupied by the Moon at the precise moment you were born. The Moon moves quickly, changing signs about every two and a half days.
More than a date lookup
On a day when the Moon changes signs, birth time and timezone can decide the answer. Location lets the calculator translate your local birth time accurately into astronomical time.
Why it matters emotionally
The Moon is associated with instinct, memory, attachment, habits, and regulation. It often describes needs that are less visible than your Sun sign but especially clear in close relationships.
