The Moon sign shows how you react to situations; it also shows habitual behavior and the way you act and feel when you are sick, depressed or even when slightly drunk. It shows your inner, emotional nature. This also offers information about how well you were loved and nurtured in childhood and how you nurture others in turn. The Moon sign will indicate the kind of home you choose, whether you like traveling, whether you seek a conventional form of family life or something different. The Moon placement can show whether you will work with or for the public or not.
The Moon is bound to be influenced by the sign it falls into, by its decan and to a lesser extent, its dwaad. Two people with the same Moon sign will have much in common on an emotional level, but if the decans and dwaads are different, their emotional needs, responses to situations, their domestic life, inner urges, and their childhood experiences will be slightly different. If you happen to know the degree of your Moon sign, you can get some idea of what is going on by reading through the relevant sun sign section of this book, although you need to bear in mind that the Moon sign is somewhat different and far less obvious to others than your sun sign.
The following is a very brief indication of the way a decan or dwaad may affect your Moon, whatever sign it happens to be in.
