Symbol
The Moon represents your Soul Path, your emotional drive in life. Its placement in Sign and House reveals how we give and receive love, give and seek emotional nourishment, and try to manifest our spiritual and soulful purpose alongside our primary drive (Sun).
Consider a person with the Moon in Libra in the 12th House. Libra is an Air Sign. Air’s expression is analytical, strategic, and curious. In Libra, the Element acts judgmentally, decisively, and neutrally. So, his or her key phrase is “Your Soul Path manifests through your analytical and balanced quest for and attraction to harmonious and logical spirituality.” In short, this individual believes in and follows a spiritual path of moderation and makes most of his or her decisions based on ideals of fairness, right judgment, and negotiation.

The Moon expresses itself through a Sign and acts most powerfully in an area of your life by House. This section will look at all 12 Sign and House placements for the Moon. It is important to make a clear distinction between the Sign and House. While it is correct that each Zodiac Sign rules a particular House, it is vital not to conflate the two.

A person with the Moon in Aries has a Soul Path devoted to independent and maverick behavior regardless of House placement. Someone with the Moon in the 1st House has a Soul Path devoted to figuring oneself out and working on identity issues over the course of his or her lifetime.
