What Is The Moon In Astrology?
In your birth chart, the moon represents your emotions, to put it simply. Where the sun is your ego self and dictates your general values and behavior, the moon shows you what you need to feel emotionally fulfilled and what your emotional patterns will be.
Your moon is…
- your emotional patterns
- the part of you closest to your heart that you try to keep safe
- what you need for emotional fulfillment
- what emotions you’ll struggle with (ie emotional volatility, fear, anger, emotional rigidity, etc)
By knowing your moon sign you can…
- be less sensitive to changes in your environment
- nurture yourself and feel loved
- stop repeating emotional patterns
- be aware of your emotions
- improve your relationships (the moon sign is key for relationships!)
- practice self-care
What Is Virgo?

And that’s where we interact with Virgo and learn that selfless service and routine can bring us joy. Virgo represents purity and perfection. They seek out perfection and everything they do and have a gift for seeing the details in things.
Oftentimes, people with strong Virgo traits can be judged for being hypercritical, perfectionistic, or small-minded. And it’s not that Virgo tries to be it’s just that they can’t help us see the details in everything.
Virgo’s core desire is to serve. They love to work hard and give to others. So focused on details, nothing small skips over their observation. Believes that everything good can be made great and that everything great can be perfect but this can cause frustration from unrealistic expectations (perfectionism/OCD).
