A lot of people who are curious about astrology signs and the zodiac want to know simple summaries of each sun sign. What does being a Taurus mean exactly? What about if I have a Scorpio moon sign? And is she really sensitive if she’s a Pisces ascendant? Let’s take a look in a bit more detail at zodiac signs meanings and one in particular.

The truth is one planet by itself will not describe everything about you. It gives a description of a certain aspect of you however. That part and essence which the planet is symbolizing has the energy of the sign it’s in. With that in mind, we can look at a Moon in Pisces – that is, someone with their Moon in the zodiac sign of Pisces – on a natal chart to learn a bit more.

Pisces is a water sign. The water zodiac signs are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. But in fact each of the water signs has a different flavor. This is because Cancer is a cardinal water sign. Scorpio is a fixed water sign. Pisces is a mutable water sign.

Pisces energy is very receptive and potentially vulnerable to the ebbs and flows of change. If you have a Moon that is in Pisces, then you may indeed be quite sensitive to emotions and feelings of yourself and those around you. This could be deemed as being psychic or more intuitive. Water is a universal receiver and stores energy of the vibration around it. So too does the energy of Pisces. So you may have challenges keeping your emotions “in line” because of all this extra influence.

So yes, a Pisces sign could be considered psychic. And as water signs, so too could Cancer and Scorpio. But now you can see that you need to incorporate a whole view and not just one sign. You have the Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn as other important planets in your chart that also have their own sign!

Remember that this Moon in Pisces is not in isolation and affecting you with its energy all by itself. Maybe it’s being affected directly by a Saturn in Libra that is quite happy. This may give more focus to the emotional perspective. The specific house that this Moon is in will play an important role in the area of your life that this energy is expressing itself too. These are all important factors to consider.

Astrology is not an excuse to give away your authority in being responsible for your actions and decisions. This is key to keep in mind at all times. “Since my Mercury is in Sagittarius, that totally explains why I can’t talk with this person ever…” Or example B or C. Astrology should be used and gained from in an exactly different way!

Yes it’s true, your Aquarius Sun or your Ascendant in Leo does alter the way you act relating to self-expression or the attitude and look you give out to the world. But knowing the tendencies of the planet can allow you to slow down and think to yourself, “Hey, this is the way I usually act, and it’s not been going so hot. Because of my chart knowledge, I know that I tend to behave a bit like this, but I can change this with a better attitude and plan”. This is a benefit to learning about zodiac signs – to make a better you.
