The Moon Sign Guide: An Astrological Look at Your Inner Life

In this vibrant guide, Vice astrologer Gat (The Astrology of Love & Sex) explores the moon sign’s influence over people’s inner lives. She writes that the moon sign corresponds to the moon’s position at the time of one’s birth and “represents our internal environment—our emotions, memories, and subconscious”; the book also details each of the 12 zodiac moon signs and how the moon’s interactions with other planets at the moment of one’s birth impact one’s character, friendships, career, home life, and love life. For example, those with a Libra sign are levelheaded, with a need for partnership, whereas Geminis are highly adaptable and loyal partners—if they ever settle down. When it comes to professional life, Scorpios’ intense focus makes them committed employees, and Leos’ knack for leadership means they are excellent mentors. Gat maintains the entertaining specificity of her horoscopes (“Growing up, [Virgo moons’] bedrooms were decorated with inspirational quotes and images of where and who they wanted to be”), and Asanovic’s elegant illustrations throughout complement the observations. This is a good starting point for anyone looking to better understand their sign. (May)
