The Sun is the planet that zodiac novices are most interested in. But the moon is equally important in a chart. This planet relates to the world of emotions, including the nature embedded by nature, nurture and memory. It resides in the subconscious and deals with how a person relates to those around them. The characteristics in this sign might not be apparent to the person they refer to since they reside so deeply in the mind. Others are often better able to recognize these traits, as they are put out there into the world more than they are reflected upon.



A person who has their Moon in Pisces has a sensitive, imaginative and perceptive nature. There is a dreamy, optimistic viewpoint associated with this sign that can have them looking out at the world through rose colored glasses. This especially applies to how they view other people. It can be extremely hard for this person to recognize the faults in others- especially those they hold close to their hearts. This person will be completely open and trusting to the point that it is easy for others to take advantage. It hurts for this person to be let down by another but it is not a lesson they learn for long. Like a young puppy, they forget a slight easily and come bouncing back with enthusiasm. Remarkably, the karma in the world usually keeps this person safe from having too severe of "wake up" calls put into their path.

The world is a wide open place full of possibilities and wonder to a person whose Moon is in Pisces. If the notion of obstacles even enters their mindset, they are seen as easily conquered blips on the radar. This sign carries with it the notions of black and white, good and bad, knights on white horses and princesses in towers. A romantic soul is open to a lot of damage in the modern world but they are surprisingly able to take it without harming their spirit. Continuing to believe in magic and wonder is much more practical to this person than to be bogged down with realism and details.

This sign has great instincts of the "gut" variety- meaning that there is neither analysis nor criticism behind it. They are so sensitive to their environment that they can actually pick up on the emotions of others to the point they fell them as well. Sympathy and compassion are born of this characteristic. They do hold others to impossible standards but that critical eye is pointed inward as well. A lack of perfection on their part leads them to feel down or less than capable. In rare cases this person can become so down on themselves based on their supposed flaws that it becomes a neurosis, outweighing all of the optimism that normally resides in this sign. But this usually only happens if a lot of emotional and mental damage was done in early childhood when the psyche hadn't yet had time to develop its resilience.
