The Moon Symbol

The Moon symbol represents the things that calm your nerves. The Zodiac Sign it is in accurately describes how you just let go and relax.

It also symbolizes where you feel the most secure. That could be with close family members or within a large social gathering.

It describes your private self and your inner world of thoughts and feelings. It also represents how you instinctively respond to stressful situations.

A Healthy Moon

A healthy response to the Moon in your astrology chart leaves you feeling relaxed and refreshed in your life. Making time for yourself is the key here.

Regardless of how stressful your life may be, you instinctually understand how to unwind and enjoy your life at the end of the day.

Whenever you're feeling upset or depressed, this symbol represents the healthiest way to restore a sense of balance and harmony to your nervous system. That might come in the form of getting things off your chest with a close friend over the phone or by vigorously working out at the gym.

A Dysfunctional Moon

Whenever you ignore the needs of your Moon Sign, you will truly be a miserable person emotionally. You may, however, be able to hide that unfortunate fact from others (somewhat), but you will know your own personal truth inside.

When you constantly choose work over play or responsibility over your own personal (emotional) needs, you are abusing the needs of your Moon.

All of us tend to value different things and thus tend to look forward to our own personal version of relaxation. Regardless of what those things are, however, taking the time to be able to enjoy them is the basic healing function of this symbol. It gives us a sense of balance and harmony.

Choosing negative or extreme ways to blow off steam is also the wrong use of your Moon symbol energy. For instance, having a couple of drinks which regularly turn into 5 or 6 is obviously taking you down the wrong path in life (Water Sign Moons).

Allowing yourself to explode into angry temper tantrums is also a huge red flag that your Moon Energy is being ignored. For most of us, however, this probably manifests as just being overly moody and/or irritable.

Strategy

You need to check out your birth chart to see what Zodiac Sign and Astrology house your Moon is in. In order for you to achieve your happiest state you need to combine the style (Zodiac Sign) of your Moon with the area (Astrology house) that your Moon symbol is located in.

For instance, if you have your Moon symbol in Gemini in the 5th house, it indicates that you enjoy intellectual and communicative (Gemini) pursuits to feed your soul. In addition, you tend to crave creative (5th house) pursuits to express your intelligence. Writing in all its forms would be a natural fit.

Choosing to honor your Moon symbol needs is basically choosing between feeling sane or not. When you are tending to your own personal garden and pulling out life's weeds, your life will feel like a breath of fresh air instead of dreading whatever lies around the corner.
