how to find moon sign

ASTROLOGERS believe we all have both a moon and a sun sign, revealing our inner needs and outer drive.

Here is what we know about the two zodiac readings, and how you can navigate them.

What is my sun sign?

In astrology, your sun sign is what most people consider their star sign.

The sun sign dictates your zodiac personality, and is influenced by your day and month of birth.

Astrologists say the sun sign shows what you want, and the moon reveals what you need.

Star signs are linked to certain traits, both positive and negative.

You can find out your star sign simply by seeing when your birthday falls in the dates below.

Aries: March 21 – April 19
Taurus: April 20 – May 20
Gemini: May 21 – June 20
Cancer: June 21 – July 22
Leo: July 23 – August 22
Virgo: August 23 – September 22
Libra: September 23 – October 22
Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
Pisces: February 19 – March 20

What is my moon sign?

The moon sign is considered the second most important influence in your horoscope chart after the sun.

It represents your emotions, your inner mood.

According to starslikeyou.com: "In many ways, your moon sign will describe what you do naturally, and your sun sign will point to what you will develop, as well as who you must become."

Your moon sign is determined by calculating your full date, place and time of birth and finding your position around the moon.

It moves quickly around the zodiac, visiting each sign for around two to two and a half days.

Your moon sign is likely to be different from your sun sign - i.e. you might be a Taurus, but your lunar sign might be in Sagittarius.
