Find your moon sign here. If the calculator shows your natal moon is in Gemini, Libra or Aquarius, yours is an airy moon that is witty and light and capable of seeing things from a variety of viewpoints. These moon signs are comfortable with experimentation and ambivalent about settling down, although they love company and they make good company, even for themselves. There is a certain detachment from feeling in the air signs and tendency to think about and talk about feelings more than actually experiencing strong emotion. 

People with the moon in Gemini like to keep options open, research possibilities and avoid being pinned down. In a few extreme cases, they can be quite deceptive. Scott Peterson phoning his girlfriend, Amber Frey, from a vigil being held for his missing pregnant wife, Laci – while pretending to be at a New Year’s celebration in Paris? That’s  an extreme example of a Gemini moon gone bad. Most people with this placement use their ability to think a step ahead of the pack in better ways. Restless and talkative, they can be snappish if you interrupt their thinking, but they do know how to close a sale. This moon does best if a sense of discipline, structure and limits are reflected in some other part of the chart. Otherwise people with moon in Gemini might think their popularity will translate instantly into solid success without hard work and they’ll be sorely disappointed if it doesn’t. 

People with the moon in Libra want to be in love and show the rest of us how it’s done. And they’re pretty good at it too. This may be the most truly romantic of moons, together with having a strong sense of what’s proper. Astrology writers Grant Lewi and Sydney Omarr both call this the Cinderella Moon. Walt Disney had this moon. So did etiquette columnist Emily Post and romantic poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Libra moons for all their romanticism can also be skilled negotiators who need to be careful not to fall into giving in just to get along. With a natural affinity for both partnership and leadership, Libra moons eventually get to the point where they win most arguments through a combination of gentle persuasion and the inability to let go of something until it’s fixed. They love the beauty and magic of the theater and music, have a fascination for the rhythmic and symmetrical, and they yearn for a life of beauty, balance and art. 

People with the moon in Aquarius are the popular outsiders and shy trendsetters. They are skittish and not universally embraced, but the people who take the time to notice them tend to think they’re awesome, and so they are more influential than they think. While they feel deeply and will strive valiantly for a cause, they often practice nonchalance. These people know how to strike the balance of being hot while seeming utterly cool. John Lennon and Princess Diana both had moon in Aquarius. Neither was afraid of doing things that would shock a sense of conventionalism. They both left legacies in their own way of humanitarian activism of the sort that seeks to redefine and strengthen the bonds of community. And a strong sense of community is what Aquarian moons really want – in their own funny, individualistic, cool, detached sort of way.
