E239: What Your Moon Sign Says About Your Healthy Habits

Ever since I was a little girl, I have LOVED astrology! My grandmother introduced me to it, and used to read me my horoscope when I was with her. As I grew older and deepened my interest and education in astrology I learned about more than our sun signs. I learned about moon signs, rising signs, birth charts, Saturn returns, aspects, and transits and so much more!

To this day my enthusiasm and curiosity of astrology only grows and I’m excited to share with you what your moon sign says about your habits!

Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Valerie LaVigne your host and Healthy Habit Mentor. I use science and spirituality to help my clients build habits that actually matter.

One of my favourite tools to better understand my 1:1 Mentorship Clients, is the Birth Chart also called the Natal Chart.

If you’ve never seen your chart or heard of this before, I’m going to link two of my favourite astrology websites for getting a copy of your chart.

Already know your moon sign? Drop it in the comments of this video!!

Now if you’re watching this video, or if you remember seeing your birth chart for the first time, you might be scratching your head wondering what exactly you’re looking at.

Essentially, your natal or birth chart is a map of the sky the moment you were born. It looks a little like a pizza pie with 12 slices and little toppings scattered all over. The slices represent “houses” and the toppings are actually symbols of different planets and asteroids and points in the sky.

You’ll also notice each planet has a number with a degree sign beside it, and the crust of the pizza pie is labeled with the 12 zodiac signs. For the purpose of today’s episode, we’re going to focus on your moon sign.

Once you have your birth chart, look for the small crescent moon graphic. The moon will be connected to a zodiac sign. This is your “moon sign.” On my birth chart, you can see that I have a Scorpio Moon. That’s all you need to know for today’s episode.

Don’t worry about the house or degree. If you’re interested in diving deeper into your birth chart, you can check out the links I’ve shared in the show notes and description of this video, and you can also book a Clarity Call with me, where we can dive deep into how to create the best habits for YOU and your moon.

The moon is important to understanding your habits because it tells us about our cravings and what we really want in life. It also reveals our habits, instincts, and our reactions. It is very telling as to how we express and deal with our emotions and tells us about our innermost needs.

[07:13] Fire Moons

Let’s take a deeper look at each moon sign, starting with our fire moons!

If you’re an Aries moon, don’t fall into the trap of all or nothing when it comes to your habits — instead, create playful routines that keep your energy sustainable. Aries moons can be impatient and have a difficult time waiting for things to happen. You have an inner fire and passion. While you like to act out your needs, you prefer instant gratification and you can be very defensive at times.

A Leo moon wants to be expansive! Create habits and routines that fuel your creativity and confidence. You’ve got a good sense of humour and like being the spotlight around people you love and trust. Play to the strengths of your organized self with habits that help you feel deeply connected to the special people in your life.

Those with a Sagittarius moon crave adventure. You’d be supported by creating flexible routines that allow you to expand and explore the world around you. Create habits and rituals that allow you to feel freedom and space in your daily life. Make sure your environment is bright and spacious as well, giving you the opportunity to attract newness into your life. While you might cringe at the idea of a regular routine, give yourself the grace to have flexible routines like “weekend exploring the outdoors.” This could be a different location each week, but the intention is the same.

[09:10] Earth Moons

You might notice some similarities with the moon signs and how I’ve organized them together in their element. As we go through the signs together, notice if there’s a moon sign YOU resonate with, or maybe you’re guessing the moon sign of someone you know. Here are the Earth Moons for you.

Someone with a Taurus moon is a creature of habit — but make it ✨extra✨ silk sheets, fluffy robe. Elevate those routines. It’s important for you to feel safe so building a solid and comfortable foundation will be key for you to feel content. You might not be easily persuaded, but once you’ve made a commitment you persevere. Learning to be more adaptive when the routine is interrupted could be a great skill to master to help you grow and evolve.

If you have a Virgo moon, you crave perfection and order in your routines. Don’t forget that crafting habits is a skill and it’s okay to experiment as you learn and grow. Focus on the little things in life that make you feel happy and secure, as well as the small things you can do to help you feel appreciated. Simplicity is key with your routines, take off any unnecessary pressure and eliminate any overwhelm when you can.

Those with a Capricorn moon are here to work hard for the long-term gain and take their habits and routines seriously. You have very practical and structured routines. Remember to have some fun along the way. Need some inspiration for your habits and routines? Look at the realistic goals you’ve set, and break those down into actions you can take every day to get there.

[11:11] Air Moons

Opposite to Earth signs, Air signs can be hard to pin down. And since we’re talking about the moon and our emotions and cravings, think of mental stimulation and routines for this element.

For instance, those with a Gemini moon need to be mentally stimulated. Habits around learning a new skill or topic can be beneficial to these moon placements. And definitely keeping routines versatile and varied is key! While this moon sign might feel unsettled, they are curious and like to explore different things. This could lead to a lot of projects that are a “work-in-progress.” While they can spend too much time looking around at what others are doing, they are the most adaptable and versatile of all the signs. Sometimes trying different routines to see which ones work best for you is what needs to be done before finding the right one.

If you have a Libra moon you crave balance and peace. Create habits and behaviours through experimentation until you find the right flow and alignment for you. Strong partnerships are also important to you, so consider certain rituals and routines that you could share with others on a regular basis. While striving for a harmonious life feels helpful to you, remember to enjoy the moments along the journey to creating your best life.

An Aquarius moon has rituals and routines rooted in values. You care about humanity and crave independence, so your routines have to make sense to YOU, even if they don’t make sense to the people around you. This moon placement is a lifetime student and extremely observant. Notice what rituals, or symbols catch your eye and curiosity. Perhaps you can put your own unique spin on a new routine.

[13:37] Water Moons

We’ve learned about the fiery moons, earthy moons, airy moons, and now finally the emotional depths of the water moons…

Each planet has what’s called a “home sign” and the moon is at home in Cancer. Someone with a Cancer moon can be very nurturing and self-care might come easily to them. Just make sure your habits are helping YOU so that you can better help others. You like to seek out familiarity in your routines and rituals, but that doesn’t mean you can’t weave in newness into your existing routines.

A Scorpio moon wants to create transformation and have habits that go deeper than the surface level self-care. Two words: emotional intensity. You “see” what isn’t obvious to the rest of the world, which can sometimes lead to upheaval or dramatic ups and downs. Commit to routines that help you feel meaningful and go all in when it feels right to you. Listen to your intuition when it’s time to change up a routine, and tap into your strength when new habits feel tough to build at first.

If you have a Pisces moon, you’ll want your habits to include time alone as you can be highly sensitive and empathetic, so you need time to reset and come back to yourself. Give yourself room to dream, and create a grounding practice to help you keep the balance in your life and energy. You are compassionate, intuitive, and rituals that help you create boundaries will be very important for your life and relationships.
