The Moon And Your Mate

We’ve talked about the moon and how it affects our daily routines, let’s go on another journey “to the moon” to look at how it helps us choose who to fall in love with. Each of us has a sun sign. You know yours because it was the day you were born. For example, if you born June 1, 1989, your sun sign would be Gemini. Each of us also has a moon sign. However, the moon changes every 2 and 1/4 days, rather than every 30 days like the sun. So it moves from sign to sign very quickly. While your sun sign represents who you are on the outside, the moon represents who you are on the inside or your emotional side. Our emotions are what we use to choose who we fall in love with. Our intellectual side may tell us “Don’t go there” or “Stay away from him” but our emotions always win out in the game of love, because love is all about how we feel.

If you don’t know your moon sign, you can go to www.astro.com and print off a free astrological chart to find it or you can email me and one of my assistants will do the research and get back to you. Here’s the rundown of each of the moon signs and what they are looking for in love:
