Your Libra Moon Astrological Profile

Once you’ve read up on your sun sign—that’s your “main” zodiac sign, the one determined by your birthday—it’s time to take the next step and start exploring your moon sign. While people might not be able to guess your moon sign after a single conversation with you, it’s a vital part of your personality, playing an important role in your emotional world and your romantic compatibility. Let’s dive in.

Your moon sign is the second part of your “big three”—your sun, moon, and rising signs. Your sun sign reveals your core personality, and your rising sign shines a light on the way people see you and your life path. And then there’s your moon sign, which shows a deeper part of you. Your moon sign helps you understand the way you experience emotions, your inner desires, and the way you approach romance. Think of it as representing your truest self, the one that your partner and closest friends get to see but coworkers and casual acquaintances don’t.

You’ll need more than your birthday to determine your moon sign. The moon changes signs every two to three days, whereas the sun spends a whole month in one sign. That being said, you’ll need your birth time and location in addition to your birthdate to find your moon sign. Simply put the info into a free birth chart calculator, and it will be revealed.

If your moon is in Libra, then Libra’s core personality traits—like a flirtatious nature, a sense of style, diplomacy, and charm—apply to your innermost self. Think of it this way: Your coworkers and acquaintances might see you as shy and reserved, but your closest friends know that when you’re with people you’re comfortable with, like at an intimate house party, you can be a social butterfly and a total flirt.

Any sun sign can be paired with any moon sign. You might have a Libra sun and a Libra moon; a Gemini sun and a Libra moon; an Aries sun and a Libra moon; and so on.

To understand Libra moon traits, think about the symbol that represents Libra: the scales. Just as the scales symbolize justice, you care deeply about fairness and right vs. wrong. Like a set of scales, you tend to carefully weigh the pros and cons before making a decision on anything, from the apartment you’re renting to which restaurant you go to for dinner. This trait might have earned you a reputation as being noncommittal, even flaky, but you just want to make sure you’re making the right choice.

Libra is the only sign of the zodiac represented by an object, not a living being. This can help you understand why you’re so concerned with appearances. You likely have a strong sense of personal style, an interest in art and aesthetics, and a certain je ne sais quoi that attracts people to you. You’re charming and alluring, and you like to be admired—nothing wrong with that.

Even if you’re not particularly outgoing yourself, you’re very interested in social dynamics. You might be a skilled observer of social situations, and you’re likely very emotionally intelligent. You can gain insight about people from a casual conversation, and you love to talk about what you’ve learned. Some people call it gossip, but you call it discussing important information.

In order to woo you, a partner should pull out all the stops. They should write you love letters (or texts), take care when putting an outfit together, plan a date night carefully (a trendy cocktail bar or an art gallery would make a good choice), and shower you with compliments. You like to be flattered and charmed, and the alluring, flirtatious side of your personality will shine as a result.

When dating, you like to keep it light. Romance should be fun, and you’re not going to sit around writing angry screeds in your Notes app while waiting for someone to text you back like those angsty Scorpio moons. If your current love interest seems distant, oh well, on to the next!

If a potential partner wants to take your connection from flirtation to committed relationship, they’ll need to provide a sense of stability and reassurance while, at the same time, encouraging you to explore all your fleeting interests. You want to dye your hair green and get a septum ring one week, then embrace an all-natural look the next? They think you look stunning both ways. You’re super into impressionist paintings this month, but next month, you’re deep into a techno phase? They’re scoping out the best art collections in Manhattan and saving up for a vacation to Berlin. You need someone who loves your curiosity and shares your sense of romance.

When considering moon sign compatibility, you can look at the moon signs of you and your (potential) partner, or you can look at your whole birth charts while paying special attention to the moon. When looking at moon signs, Libra moons are most compatible with other air sign moons: Gemini moons, Aquarius moons, and of course, other Libra moons. They share your curiosity, your creativity, and your wit. You’re also quite compatible with Leo moons and Sagittarius moons. Leo moons inspire your creative side while providing a stable grounding, and Sagittarius moons encourage you to get out of your comfort zone. Your opposite on the zodiac, Aries moon, could be a connection that’s challenging in the best way—you both help each other grow as individuals as well as together. Or, on the other hand, the push-and-pull could feel more like a tug-of-war.

Next, you can look at both sun and moon signs. Libra moons are very compatible with people who have a Libra sun, no matter their moon sign. This kind of connection is called sun-moon synastry, and it’s a huge green flag for compatibility. While your personalities might be very different on the outside, you understand each other on an almost soul level. It’s like you were meant to be. To a lesser extent, this also applies to the other air sign suns, Gemini and Aquarius.

Finally, you can zoom out and look at both birth charts as a whole. When gauging compatibility with a Libra moon, look for any Libra placements, particularly when it comes to the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, and Mars) and rising sign. For example, a Libra moon will be compatible with someone whose Mercury and Venus are in Libra, even if their sun and moon aren’t.
