Daily Moon Sign Astrology



The moon is probably the most misunderstood "non-planet" in astrology. For example, while the Sun may take a whole month to transit (navigate) through a zodiac sign, the moon can (and will) do it in less than three days. More people know their sun sign than know their moon sign. Like the phrase sun sign, the phrase moon sign is a shortened term that is intended to describe the sign of the zodiac that the moon was transiting through at any given time on any given day. Lunar Astrology/Moon Astrology It is much easier to say 'moon sign' than to say the "sign of the zodiac that the moon is (or was) transiting through."
