Astrology is magical. It isn't always easy to understand its intricate system, but everyone who gave it enough time got a bit richer in life. The spiritual wealth of astrology isn't measured just in how much it helps you navigate the future; the natal chart can also help you locate people and figure out their place in your life.
Don't get me wrong, nothing can replace real interactions and emotions you have for people - you know people in your life far better than an ancient system of astrology could ever tell you. Real-life experience is the ultimate vehicle of our lives, its slight differences define us as people, and the shared experiences unite us. With a little help from astrology - serving as a map - that experience can become clearer.
When you look at the sign of your moon, that will tell you how your mother sees you and what you mean to her. How does that work? Each sign represents a different energy, and the Moon is a planet through which you connect to your mom. The first person who imprinted on you, was your mother. And even if your mother or maternal figure isn't someone you knew from the moment you were born, that instinct of maternal connection still applies and can happen at any point in your life.
Your mother first connected with you through the Moon, and for that reason, she will never stop identifying you with the sign of your Moon. She always sees your inner world, needs, and wounds that the Moon represents. Let's go through different Moons and see what each one means.
Through the Signs
If your Moon is in Aries, your mother sees you as an independent child who can rise above any problem or a crisis. She often feels like you need her steady hand to point you in the right direction, otherwise she fears, you will meet a dead end. When she needs it, she knows she can count on you to grant her a bit of strength and inspiration.
If your Moon is in Taurus, you will always be a rock for your mom - stable, grounded, and emotionally dependable. Next to you, it's like her stress disappears at times and she finally feels like herself if times are a bit tough. Despite occasional frustration when you are too stubborn or resistant to change, she feels your loyalty and that is enough to remind that there is beauty in life.
If your Moon is in Gemini, you will be your mother's source of entertainment and much-needed mental stimulation. Without you, she would feel like her brain isn't working quiet right. She loves your humor, words, and ability to see things from a perspective different from her own.
If your Moon is in Cancer, your mother will see a lot of herself in you - both as a reflection of her emotions and habits. While protective, this isn't because she doesn't trust you. The opposite is true, she is extremely confident about you and aware of how emotionally rich your inner world is. When the opportunity presents itself, she will always try to find out at least a bit more about you.
If your Moon is in Leo, your mother will see a star in you, her beacon of light. Whatever you do, she will be proud of you and protective like a lioness. She will also give you plenty of space to shine and do your own thing, completely aware you are your own person.
If your Moon is in Virgo, you will be someone who your mother relies on a lot. She sees you as someone who can fix anything, both physically and emotionally. You are as close to a perfect kid as you can get. Sometimes this bond might get a bit strenuous, but she knows you can handle a lot.
If your Moon is in Libra, your mother will see her friend in you, someone she can be herself with, talk endlessly, and confide in. You bring balance into her life, a step away from her internal and external conflicts. Whenever she needs company, she first thinks of you. She sees how responsible you are, and in need of inner peace, so for the most part, unless you engage with her first, she will let you do your thing.
If your Moon is in Scorpio, your mother will seek to always protect you as she sees you as someone who is deep, and emotional. She always supports you in your transformations (which are usually many) and will often undertake that journey with you at her side, offering a bit of emotional resilience you are still in the process of acquiring. No matter what, she continues to believe in you and your strength.
If your Moon is in Sagittarius, your mother discovers new worlds through you. She sees you as a free spirit - always seeking, questioning, and reaching for the horizon. She knows you need space to explore, but she will still long for your time, attention, and that eternal optimism you seem to have that brings lightness into even the heaviest situations.
If your Moon is in Capricorn, your mother sees a protector in you, someone who is capable of fighting their own battles and has enough energy to lend a hand when needed. If you ever feel weak, she might not fully understand it, for her, you are a symbol of strength and grit. She has high hopes for you and will do anything to see them materialize.
If your Moon is in Aquarius, your mother sees you as a unique and thoughtful person. She loves to talk to you and learn more about your ideas and theories, even if she doesn't fully understand them sometimes. Despite your elusiveness, she admires how deeply you care for the world, but will always try to connect you more to the things she cares for as well.
If your Moon is in Pisces, your mother sees you as a dreamer, and maybe someone she needs to bring down to earth now and then. While she is in awe of your heightened intuition and compassion, she often worries about how sensitive you can be and will try to protect you from the pain. Nevertheless, with time, she often learns that sensitivity is not a weakness, but just one of the tools to help the world more.
