subject: How Your Moon Sign Affect Your Horoscope [print this page] Since life is a jungle, we must learn to rely on our natural instincts and ability to react quickly when a threat appears to survive its constant maze. Through this, we can think about our life and the recent tasks and obstacles that we have conquered for the past months, may it be personal or professional life.
But let us set aside what happened in the past, how about if we keep ourselves reminded by what will happen next? Yes, we may not know what future holds but there are actually ways how can get few hints of the events that will come our way. We can have them through moon signs reading or what is also called zodiac sign reading.
The moons position when you were born is called your "natal" moon and determining your Moon sign will give you insight to your personality. Your Moon sign represents your emotional life and how you find comfort in life. It is an important part of your astrological make-up and its very insightful for understanding one's emotional nature.
To figure out your moon sign, you must understand that each planet in the solar system travels through one zodiac sign at a time, with some going very slowly, and only changing signs every few years. The moon switches signs every one to three days and it travels much faster than the planets.
To study the effects of the transiting moon on your birth chart, you can use ephemeris. This is a table of values that gives the positions of astronomical objects in the sky at a given time or times. It is commonly used specifically for astronomy and astrology. There are ephemeris tables for thousands of years in the past and a few hundred to be coming in the future. The moon passes over your natal Sun, your natal moon and all the other planets each month. By looking at the ephemeris for the coming month, you can find out when the transiting moon will have the same value as your natal sun or natal moon.
For an instance, if your natal Sun is at 17 degrees Aquarius (17 with the double squiggly lines next to it) youll look for the time during the month when the moon is closest to 17 degrees Aquarius. So if the month represents a time of new beginnings for you then that is relatively stress free. It gives the positive feeling on looking forward to new beginnings and new attitude each and every month.
You must be sensitive and look for some inner turmoil when the transiting Moon aligned with your natal Moon. During this time of month you will be emotionally charged and if you are not careful, you could let it get to you.
By looking at the position of your Moon, you will be able to tell when these sensitive transits are happening. It can help you plan ahead for the future and with tool like ephemeris, you will be able to figure out what your moon sign or zodiac sign is.
