Moon signsMoon in Aquarius: what it means
Aquarius is a fixed air sign, ruled by Uranus (traditionally Saturn). Air signs work through ideas, words and the links between people. Fixed signs keep things going.
What an Aquarius Moon is like
Distance helps you feel. You step back from an emotion, look at it, and work out what it means before you decide whether to show it. That makes you level-headed in a storm and a little hard to read up close. You need friends, causes and plenty of unscheduled time, and you care deeply about people in general while finding individual neediness tiring. Being crowded or guilt-tripped makes you go cool. Your loyalty is real; it just rarely looks sentimental.
Greatest strength
Friends bring you their strangest truths, knowing you listen without shock and without gossip.
Where it stretches you
Feelings do not always need to make sense first, and letting one be messy brings you closer to people.
Aquarius Moon in love
A partner who is also a friend, and who respects your independence, suits you best. Intense emotional scenes make you detach, which can read as not caring when you actually do.
Aquarius Moon at work
Work that matches your ideals, done your own way, feels right to you. Group projects suit you, provided nobody hovers over your shoulder.
Is Moon in Aquarius really yours?
The Moon changes sign roughly every two and a half days, so there is no date range to look up. Your Moon sign has to be calculated from your birth date, and on days when the Moon changes sign, from your birth time as well. Our free chart does this and tells you plainly if the Moon changed sign on the day you were born.

What the Moon means in a chart
The Moon describes your emotional life: what makes you feel safe, how you react before you have had time to think, and what you need from home and from the people close to you. Many people recognise themselves in their Moon sign more quickly than in their Sun sign, especially in private.
One placement is never the whole picture. A full reading weighs the Sun, the Moon, the rising sign, every planet, the houses they fall in and the angles between them. You can read a complete sample reading to see how the pieces fit together.
