Unlike the sun, which shines a light on you, the moon illuminates your shadow. It's the energy that tends to come to mind when people think of you and your all-encompassing qualities.īut, does your sun sign always reflect how you feel on the inside? Not when your moon sign comes into play. I’m sure you're more than familiar with your sun sign, which symbolizes your overall character, identity, and life path. But what happens if your sun, moon, and rising signs are the same? Does that mean your character is less nuanced? Does it make you more rigid? No, it's actually far more interesting than that.īefore we get to the nitty-gritty stuff, a refresher on the differences among your sun, moon, and rising sign would probably be beneficial. When I realized I was a sensitive Cancer rising and a spiritual Pisces moon, everything fell into place and I never doubted astrology again. However, there were still so many emotional and introverted qualities to my personality that being a Gemini couldn't explain. Sure, I always related to being a Gemini before I understood how in depth my birth chart was. When you realize astrology describes so much more than your sun sign, it's like a gateway to a new dimension has opened.
