Your Virgo Moon Astrological Profile

Astrology can be a little bit complicated. Your birth chart contains so many planets and points, with lines going between them all. For astro newbies, it can be hard to know where to begin. But we’re here to help. Once you’ve learned about your sun sign—that’s your “main” zodiac sign, the one determined by your birthday—it’s time to take the next step and learn about your moon sign.

When it comes to your birth chart, your moon sign says so much about you. While your sun sign explains your core personality traits and your rising sign reveals the first impression you make, your moon sign can help you understand your deepest emotions, innermost thoughts, and even the people you fall in love with. Your moon sign represents the part of your personality that you only show to the people you really trust, like your partner, closest friends, and family.

Unlike your sun sign, you need more than your birth date to find out what your moon sign is. The moon changes signs every two-ish days and can be paired with any sun sign. This means that you can be an Aries sun and a Virgo moon, a Virgo sun and a Virgo moon, and so on. To get an accurate moon sign reading, you’ll need to know the time and location of your birth as well as your birth date. Then, simply input it into a free birth chart calculator to find out your moon sign.

If your moon sign is Virgo, then Virgo’s core personality traits—like perfectionism, intellectual rigor, and a caretaking mindset—apply to your deepest self. Your coworkers and casual acquaintances might not see this side of you, but it’s still very important to your core self, and your loved ones know this. Think of it this way: If you’re a Virgo moon, your desk might be messy, but your Google Calendar is probably immaculate (or your perfume collection or your bookshelf).

If you’re a Virgo moon, you have a strong drive for self-improvement. You hold yourself to high standards, and you can be really hard on yourself when you don’t achieve your goal as quickly as you want to. You’re ambitious and driven, and you’re incredibly hardworking. While these traits primarily affect how you see yourself, they can affect how you see your loved ones, too. You might not be able to resist giving your partner or your best friend a little bit of constructive criticism, thinking it’s for their own good. Virgo moons often struggle to learn when to offer advice and when it’s more helpful to just listen to a loved one voice their concerns.

Despite your tendency towards criticism, you’re very empathetic and caring towards your closest connections. You might be the “mom friend” of your group, bringing Advil and an extra phone charger on a night out and texting everyone to make sure they got home safely. If you’re in a relationship, you’re probably your partner’s biggest cheerleader. When your friends are going through a hard time, they turn to you for a listening ear (even if they might have to remind you that they just want to vent, they don’t want advice just yet).

Even though it’s an earth sign, Virgo is not exactly a chill placement to have in your birth chart, and that’s particularly true for Virgo moons. You get stressed easily, and when life doesn’t go as you planned or expected, you might feel uneasy or even distressed. You like things to be a particular way—think of Meg Ryan ordering dinner in When Harry Met Sally.

When it comes to romance, for a Virgo moon, it’s all in the details. This applies both to the way you show love and the way you receive it. For example, when celebrating a big anniversary, you might make reservations at the restaurant where you went on your first date—including ordering the same dessert, even if it’s no longer on the menu (you’ll have called ahead weeks in advance). You definitely notice when a partner brings you your favorite flowers rather than picking up any old bouquet at the shop.

You thrive on stability, which means you can get easily stressed in the early stages of dating because there’s so much uncertainty. You’re most comfortable in a secure, established relationship with a partner who inspires you to be the best person you can be—and reassures you when you’re stressed out. You also like a partner who’s always working on themself, too, and who doesn’t mind when you give them a tip or two. Ambition is definitely one of your turn-ons.

Even though Virgo means “the virgin,” this doesn’t mean that you’re sexually prudish. In fact, it’s exactly the opposite. As an earth sign, you’re very in tune with your senses, and it’s important for you to feel in touch with your body—which means that a stellar sex life is vital for your romances.

When it comes to compatibility, there are a few ways to look at your moon sign. First, you can consider a potential partner’s moon sign. Virgo moons are most compatible with moons that share their earth sign element (Capricorn moon, Taurus moon, and other Virgo moons), as well as water signs (Cancer moon and Scorpio moon). Virgo moon’s opposite sign on the zodiac, Pisces moon, has a push-and-pull vibe that can be incredibly rewarding and lead to growth for both people—but if neither is open to change, it can be a total mess.

Another way to look at compatibility is to look at the whole birth chart. Virgo moon will find a particularly strong match with Virgo sun, no matter that person’s moon sign. With your moon sign aligned with their sun sign, you’ll understand each other on a different level; you recognize your innermost self in their core personality. You’ll also find a strong connection with people with other Virgo placements, like a Virgo rising, Virgo Venus, or Virgo Mars, especially if they have more than one planet in Virgo.
