Birth chart: The Moon in the 12 houses
The astrological house where the Moon is located in your birth chart shows what is most important to you in order to feel emotionally secure.
In astrology, the Moon represents our feelings, our moods, the way we react. Alongside the Sun and the Ascendant, the Moon is one of the most important that you should look at when analysing a person’s birth chart. This is the meaning of the Moon in a natal chart, depending on its position in the houses:
The Moon in the 1st house
A person that usually doesn’t have any secrets, a person that can be “read” very easily by other people. You could also have sudden changes of mood and are probably quite unpredictable, since you are always looking for something new.
The Moon in the 2nd house
Money and other types of possessions are very important for you, they make you feel safe. You are likely to go through many financial ups and downs.
The Moon in the 3rd house
You are a talkative person and you communicate very well (orally but also written). You are a curious person, you have no problems adapting to almost every situation and you find it easy to start new relationships (friendships, romantic relationships etc.).
The Moon in the 4th house
You are very attached to your family and to tradition. You will always look for the perfect place to call “home” (that’s the reason why you will probably move a lot).
The Moon in the 5th house
You are a very romantic, sensitive, creative, talented and playful person. You can communicate very well with your own or other persons’ children. This is also a sign of fertility and can indicate at least 1-2 pregnancies, if you and your partner don’t have negative elements in your birth charts, that could indicate sterility.
The Moon in the 6th house
This placement of the Moon could indicate many job changes and difficulties when it comes to reaching higher positions in your career. Persons with the Moon in their 6th house feel good when they serve other people or if they have jobs related to health care. Problems/stress at work could lead to health problems and vice versa.
The Moon in the 7th house
Marriage and all kinds of partnerships are very important for you, but you are quite indecisive when it comes to your emotions and especially to emotional commitments. When you find a partner, you have the tendency to become dependent.
The Moon in the 8th house
A person with changeable, volatile feelings and for whom sexuality is very important. Financial fluctuations are likely, especially after getting married or related to joint finances.
The Moon in the 9th house
You will always try to evolve as a person, especially through study or travels. Religion could also be important for you and, if you don’t agree with certain values promoted by the religion you were born in, you could change your religion.
The Moon in the 10th house
Your career is very important for you and you could even sacrifice your personal life in order to succeed in your job. This placement of the Moon usually indicates a successful career, if there are no other negative elements in your birth chart. If you have negative aspects in your natal chart, especially involving the Moon, you should try to avoid scandals that can affect your career.
The Moon in the 11th house
People love you and you probably have a lot of friends. But you are also changeable and inconstant, especially when it comes to your life goals.
The Moon in the 12th house
You are a sensitive, shy and introvert person and you feel attracted to the mysterious parts of life. You tend to be happy when involved in secret love relationships. If you have other (negative) elements in your birth chart that also indicate this, you might be somehow connected or spend time in hospitals, prison or similar institutions.
