The moon usually represents the mother, but it may also represent whoever was in a position to meet your emotional needs. Knowing your moon sign empowers you to transform these more challenging behaviors into something amazing that you can employ in your daily life. For example, if you're born under the moon sign of Cancer, then you understand the value of home and family, so you can use this information to your advantage by promoting healthy relationships with both yourself and others. Your moon sign also reveals things about your personality that may not be obvious from just reading your chart. For example, if you were born under the moon sign of Cancer, then you are sensitive, caring, and loving toward those you love. You also tend to worry too much about what others think of you. On the other hand, if you were born under the moon sign of Leo, then you are independent and self-assured, and you like to take charge of situations. You don't worry as much about others and often see things in black and white terms, whether they be right or wrong. The moon sign also influences how you feel about yourself and your place in the world. If you were born under the moon sign of Cancer, then you believe that you are a kind and giving person who loves home and family, and you try to bring happiness to those around you. This attitude tends to show itself in positive ways such as through compassion and generosity.
