While your Sun is the part of you that everyone sees in the world – your personality, your Moon sign is more hidden as it rules your emotions and your subconscious. Your Moon sign shows your needs in relationships and how you will get along living with someone else. Going into a relationship, it’s even more important to know your partners Moon sign than Sun sign.
Here’s a guide to all the Moon signs, though first check out this Moon Sign calculator to find yours. You will need your exact time of birth to determine your Moon sign as the Moon changes sign every couple days.
Moon in Aries
You love the thrill of sudden love (or lust) and are not afraid to bear your heart on the first date. If things become too routine and predictable, you can often lose interest so it’s important to keep things fresh and exciting with your partner. You express yourself honestly, quickly and put your feelings all on the table. If others aren’t as quick to jump, it does not mean that don’t like you – others may need a slow simmer to feel more secure. Igniting the passions in those around you, make sure you are prepared to finish what you start.
Moon in Taurus
Your Moon is in the sign ruled by Venus giving you that sweet and sensual vibe. Unlike the sign before you; routines, stability and predictability is a big turn-on for you. In fact essential if you are even going to make it to a second date. You may enjoy cooking with your partner, hiking together, or even playing music together. You will take time to explore everything about your partner (as long as they make you feel secure). Connoisseurs in the boudoir, you have that magical touch that can hook anyone. Though soft sheets, good music, and gourmet meals win you completely.
Moon in Gemini
Always learning, always reading something new – you love to ingest loads of information and then can still be thirsty for more. That said, your partner must be up to speed with the gift of gab – able to chat about anything and maintain flirtatious (and newsy) text threads throughout the day. You need that wordy contact, even in the bedroom. At the end of a day, if it was a hard day or easy day – you just gotta talk it out. Nothing turns on a Gemini Moon more than telling them exactly what you want to do to them when you get home.

Together you will enjoy creating a home together and caring for each other in it the new space.
Moon in Leo

In love, you need to be seen, witnessed in all that you process, and even worshipped. There must be romance, flair and excitement for you to stay interested. It’s most important always that you can express yourself and that your partner will hold space for your radiance. Once in love, your creativity and generosity will spill into crafting playlists and gifts for your partner (as long as they remain a true admirer in love).
Moon in Virgo
You care so much and want to help others succeed, so naturally you’ll go to great lengths to do all of those little things that make your partners life seem easier.

Taking lots of breaks and baths will help to feel cleansed from the imprints of the day. In love, you can soar to the heights of romance and also require a partner who is just as sensitive and loving as you.
