While determining your sun sign is simple (based on your birth date), determining your moon sign is a little more difficult.
Calculating your full date, location, and time of birth, as well as your position around the moon, yields your moon sign.
It travels fast across the zodiac, spending two to two and a half days in each sign.
Your lunar sign is likely to differ from your solar sign; for example, you may be a Taurus, but your lunar sign is Sagittarius.

How do I find out what my Sun and Moon signs are?
Your Moon Sign is a reflection of your innermost feelings and ideas. It’s as if you have an internal monologue that expresses all of your emotional demands and sentiments. Check your Moon Sign horoscope every day to observe how it impacts your emotions.
Is the moon sign determined by the time of birth?
The moon travels fast across the 12 zodiac signs, taking about a month to visit all of them. This is why, unlike finding your sun sign, determining your moon sign requires extreme precision. As a result, you cannot determine your lunar sign only based on your date of birth. To find out your specific moon sign, you’ll need your birth date, the geographic place where you were born, and the hour of your birth.
For correct lunar sign placement, it’s crucial to be as close to minutes as feasible. On the internet, you can find various astrology websites that will determine your moon sign based on your birth date, place of birth, and time of birth. You can also contact an experienced astrologer to identify your moon sign based on an estimate of your birth time.
Is your birthdate associated with the Sun or the Moon?
We’ll get into the specifics later, but first, let’s clarify what factors influence your sun, moon, and rising signs.
- Your solar sign is the zodiac sign that you are most likely already familiar with. Your birth date determines it, and it affects the essential components of your personality. The sign (aka constellation) the sun is traveling through on your birthday determines your solar sign, which is based on the position of the stars as seen by ancient astrologers.
- Your moon sign is determined by the position of the moon at the time of your birth, precisely which of the 12 zodiac signs it was in. The deep interior parts of yourself, such as your emotions and how you feel and act when no one else is around, are influenced by your moon sign.
- The sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the precise moment (day, time, hour, minute) you were born determines your rising sign, also known as your ascendant. The version of yourself that you portray to the world, often known as your outer identity or mask, is indicated by your rising sign.
Of course, your sun, moon, and rising signs are more than just labels. Here’s a closer look at each of them, as well as some expert advice on how to read these three crucial indications together.
What is your ascension?
Your rising or ascendant is the sign that was ascending on the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth. It refers to the picture you put out into the world, or the mask you wear, and it provides insight into your abilities, talents, and tactics for navigating life. If you’ve ever felt like people don’t recognize you as your sun sign right away, it’s because they’re probably seeing your rising.
Libra is the sign of the moon.
If your Moon is in Libra, you have a strong desire for peace and harmony in your life. Libra is an Air sign that governs communication, information or idea exchange, and the rules that govern relationships.
What does your birthdate reveal about you?
Let’s start with why your precise birth time is significant in astrology. According to Gold Ring Astrology, your own journey on Earth begins the instant you are born and take your first breath. The beginning of your spiritual journey begins the moment you enter the human world, with the blueprint of your life being sewn in that precise moment.
One reason is that the time of birth is significant. Your ascendant, or rising, sign (the sign that was rising over the eastern horizon at the time of your birth) is determined by the exact hour of your birth (via Mind Body Green). The way you see the world and how others see you are both represented by your ascendant sign (via Allure).
In Virgo, what is the Moon?
You are likely to be naturally service-oriented, analytical, and practical if you were born with the Moon in Virgo. You have an extraordinary ability to offer assistance to others, both from your willingness to serve and your capacity to problem-solve. You must discover a balance between mind and body for your own unique satisfaction, understanding when to analyze information and when to simply relax. A route of moderation is likely to fit you best, and will put you on the road to long-term good health by performing the small things that make your daily life more natural and structured.
