The Moon crosses each zodiac sign in around two and a half days. This transit brings a special meaning to your life for at least two days each month.
The Moon is the celestial body that moves fastest, covering all twelve signs only a month.
Since it moves so quickly, it touches every aspect of your natal chart in every way possible every month.
This time we will dive deep into what it means when the Moon transits your zodiac sign and what you could do during these occasions.
The Moon in Astrology
The Moon rules our emotional security and stability, as well as how we express affection to others.
That’s why the transit Moon has a very emotional vibe. It travels through a natal house for a couple of days, bringing an emotional tone to the area it rules.
The Moon also touches every one of the planets of our natal chart, amplifying the energy it represents.
This satellite rules the Cancer zodiac sign, which governs our emotions and makes us crave support and comfort.
It also rules the 4th House, which represents family, home, ancestors, and our roots.
What Happens When the Moon is in Your Sign?
When the Moon transits your Sun zodiac sign, you have the chance to dive into your inner self, explore new possibilities, and pursue other ideas.
If you are planning to start a new venture or have a new plan in your mind, this is the best time of the month to do so.
Make use of these special couple of days to set your intentions and connect to your inner purpose.
If you have a Fire Sun (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), you can approach your goals with optimism and enthusiasm during this transit. You are a pioneer and can’t wait to take the initiative for what you desire.
If you have an Earth Sun (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), the Moon transit offers you a chance to address your everyday challenges in a practical way. This energy helps you commit to all your projects until you finish them.
If you have an Air Sun (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), you can get excited about your ideas, devise new projects, and create a better future when the Moon transits your zodiac sign.
If you have a Water Sun (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), your emotions are responsible for your action. This transit hones your intuition and helps you base your decisions on your inner compass.
What Happens When the New Moon or Full Moon is in Your Sign?
Sometimes the Moon transiting your Sun sign happens to be a New Moon or Full Moon. This happens one to two times a year, boosting your Sun sign’s energy to another level.
These are fruitful occasions to start a new cycle that could last for the next 6 to 12 months.
New Moons represent a fertile time to set new intentions, and Full Moons are times of completion. When a Full Moon is in your zodiac sign, you can bring something to fruition or finish a big project.
This marks a very emotional time where you can see the results of your efforts. Make sure you carefully consider your plans and actions and stay grounded while navigating your challenges.
You can also try doing some activities during these times that help keep the elemental energy strong, like:
Fire signs: go for a run, exercise, or do something physically stimulating.
Earth signs: go camping, take a walk in nature, clean your physical space.
Air signs: read a new book, write down your thoughts, learn a new skill, or talk about a topic you like.
Water signs: gi fir a swim, analyze your dreams, and get enough rest.
