The MOON represents the urge for emotional fulfillment and nurturing by connecting with others on a personal level.

Wherever the MOON is found in your chart, is where you will be most aware of the emotional component of any situation. You will also have many changes and ups and downs in that area of your life. The position of the MOON reveals how you experience and express your needs for closeness with others. This area of your life can activate and satisfy your deepest hunger for emotional completion.
