Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer: This is what your moon zodiac sign says about you

While everyone knows their sun sign, only a few know what their moon sign is, which describes your emotional personality. According to Instagram account The Cosmic Laundry, it ‘represents your capacity for giving and receiving emotional nourishment.’ Understanding your moon sign allows you to work on how you deal with attachment and emotional intimacy, which is essential for successful relationships of all kinds.

Here's what you need to know about each moon sign:

Aries

Aries moons are known for their impulsive behavior, says Aliza Kellyof Allure. Coupled with their need for excitement or victory, they’re always looking for a spontaneous adventure, which can be easy to satiate since they’re famous for knowing what they want. However, they are also known to have a shorter fuse, but the good news is that they get over it as quickly as the feeling comes. Aries moons work well with air suns.

Taurus

Unlike the fiery, energetic nature of the previous sign, Taurus moons value sensuality above all else—indulgent food and drink, comfortable environments, and any way to express their luxurious tastes, according to Allure. They love stability and tradition, which means they much prefer sticking to what’s tried and tested than exploring something new. These traits make Taurus moons a perfect match for sometimes volatile water suns.

Gemini

Ruled by Mercury, Gemini moons can be unpredictable and temperamental. According to Allure, they express themselves best through facts and information, making communication a vital part of their internal processing. They thrive when they socialize, which also means they must always have an attentive audience. For this reason, Gemini moons work best with intellectual air suns or charismatic fire suns.

Cancer

The moon is at home in Cancer, which means this is where the placement shines best. Cancer moons are extremely intuitive and know how to vibe-check their surroundings. However, their emotions fluctuate just as much as the moon changes phases, so Cancer moons require stability, security, and safety, which can be found in a tight-knit group of close friends and family members. An earth sign also adds balance to this placement.
