MOON SIGNS — The Inner Child, The Private Self, The Hidden Emotional Body

MOON SIGNS

The Moon sign reveals the part of you that doesn’t perform for the world.

It is your instincts, your emotional wiring, your childhood imprint, and the way you seek comfort and safety.

Your Sun is the story you’re growing into.

Your Moon is the child inside you who never left.

Below are all 12 Moon signs — written in the same deep, psychological, childhood-rooted style as your Sun signs.
