Moon sign personality: what your rashi says about you, all 12 signs

Your Moon sign shows how you feel, how you react and what makes you comfortable. People often say it describes them better than their Sun sign. Here is a short portrait of each of the 12 rashis in the Vedic system.

  • Mesh: bold, quick and honest. Needs action and a bit of patience.
  • Vrishabh: steady, loyal and fond of comfort. Needs security and routine.
  • Mithun: curious, chatty and adaptable. Needs variety and good conversation.
  • Kark: caring, protective and sensitive. Needs a safe home and kind words.
  • Simha: warm, proud and generous. Needs appreciation and a role to lead.
  • Kanya: careful, practical and helpful. Needs order and to feel useful.
  • Tula: fair, friendly and charming. Needs harmony and a partner in life.
  • Vrishchik: intense, private and determined. Needs trust and depth.
  • Dhanu: cheerful, free and idealistic. Needs space, learning and travel.
  • Makar: serious, disciplined and patient. Needs goals and respect for effort.
  • Kumbh: independent, original and humane. Needs friends and freedom of thought.
  • Meen: gentle, imaginative and giving. Needs quiet time and a sense of meaning.

How to use it

Use it as a mirror for your emotional style. If a trait fits, note it. If it does not, the Moon’s nakshatra, the lagna and other planets will add more detail. No sign is better than another, and each has strengths and things to watch.

Your Vedic Moon sign

Your Vedic Moon sign is often one sign behind your Western Moon sign, because of the sidereal zodiac. Use a tool that calculates it from your exact birth data.

Read the portrait for your rashi and for your partner’s. It is a quick way to talk about what each of you needs.
