Your relationship with your mother based on your moon sign

In pop astrology conversations, we tend to associate your moon sign with the real you, and your general feelings. However, your moon sign reflects much more than that. It does not only describe how you emotionally navigate the world, but it also describes your relationship with your mother.

Before we delve deeper into how different moon signs manifest in mother and child relationships. It is good to understand what the moon represents in astrology.

The moon generally represents our feelings and emotions. It shows what in life brings us the most comfort, how we adapt, and how we can mobilize beyond our comfort zone.

The moon also rules the sign of cancer. This means that the moon is in domicile (it naturally resides) in the sign of cancer. The cancer zodiac sign is a feminine sign and its themes revolve around the home, security, sensitivity, and intuition. Using these themes, we can deduct how your moon sign describes your maternal figure.

Aries

If you have an Aries moon, this means that your mother is somebody that from the early stages of your life felt like a friend.

Your mother could be someone very amicable and someone who you always felt had your back. However, she may be impatient, and her fiery spirit and unpredictability may have negatively surprised you at some points.

There could have been instances where you felt like your mother did not do enough for you, and this relationship could have become volatile. However, as you reach young adulthood, you see your mother as somebody who has worked very hard in her life. This leads to you appreciating her determinism and viewing her as an idol for being so strong in times of adversity.

Taurus

If you have a Taurus moon, you have a reliable mother for whom you have the utmost respect. Growing up, you knew your mother was always there for you. Financially, emotionally or even just physically present to pick up the pieces for you.

At some point in your life, you expected more than what she was willing to give. Somehow, all the material things she has given you were not enough.

As a Taurus moon, your mother is stubborn and her love for you is steady. Thus, she most likely did not give you what you always wanted. This could have fostered negative feelings for you, and you felt like she was selfish.

Fortunately, this is a temporary feeling. Later on, you may realize your mother’s unwavering love for you. Overall, you are grateful for the sense of security and comfort that she has given you and you know you can always count on her.

Gemini

This is an interesting mother-and-child relationship dynamic if you are a Gemini moon. This relationship could go two ways. Either your mother is somebody who you are very close to and you tell them everything about your life and they do the same to you. Or you may view your mother as somebody who gossips, is chaotic, and tries too hard to be cool.

As a Gemini moon, your mother is somebody who you think is very smart, worldly, and talkative. But, at some point in your life, you may have viewed your mother as somebody who meddles too much in your life.

You could have also felt that your relationship lacked an emotional connection. However, as you mature you become appreciative of how creative your mother is. You also love how interesting her life has been, so you know that in most cases you can come to her for advice.

Cancer

If you have a Cancer Moon, you have a fascinating relationship with your mother that goes beyond comprehension, you likely feel spiritually connected to her. So much so that when your mother is going through challenging times, this may feel like it is happening to you too.

You were likely always attached to your mother’s hips as a child. You just never wanted to leave her side, and you probably still don’t.

As you mature, you feel like your mother always knows what you are feeling. If this relationship is unstable, you may find her to be draining or overly sensitive. This is a complicated relationship, but when it is good, it is comforting and secure.

Leo

If you are a Leo moon your relationship with your mother could have gone two ways. Either your mother pushed you to always be the best at everything and praised all your accomplishments. Ultimately making you the centre of attention. On the other hand, if you decided to go on your own path you may have felt overlooked by her. This may have also occurred even if you happily did what was expected but were not as confident doing it.

You may also feel like she doesn’t value your accomplishments as much as you wish would.

At some point in your life, you may have felt like you were constantly fighting for her attention. You may have also viewed her as somebody who is dramatic and proud. However, you appreciate how full of life she is, and you hope that one day she notices who you are.

Virgo

As a child, if you are a Virgo moon, you may have found your mother to be perfect. You overanalyzed all her movements and quirks, and you probably wanted to be just like her. However, as you matured, you noticed all her mistakes and wished that you could somehow fix her.

You may also not understand or agree with how your mother deals with emotional situations, but you try as much as you can to be there for her.

This mother-and-child relationship is strained by your mother failing to live up to your expectations. However, you appreciate all the practical skills she has taught you, and you likely developed your high standards by observing how your mother has lived her life.

Libra

If you are a Libra moon, your relationship with your mother is based on common interests, artistic and altruistic values. Your mother taught you to have an artistic eye and pushed you to create aesthetically pleasing things out of anything.

This is an interesting relationship between a mother and child because there are rarely any explosive arguments. Any emotionally heavy issues are also usually avoided. So, it is generally pleasant for both.

But you may feel like your relationship with your mother lacks an emotional bond. You sometimes feel that your mother’s love for you is superficial. You worry that she only wants to keep the appearance of being a perfect mother. This may or may not bother you. This is because your mother has taught you to be independent and non-confrontational. However, there are times that you are acutely aware of this, and the lack of emotional bond saddens you.

Scorpio

Scorpio moons usually have a deep bond with their mother and grow up wanting their mother to be very close to them. If you have a Scorpio moon, you are likely misunderstood by your mother. In some cases, you feel that something is missing between you and her.

For Scorpio moons, both mother and child are blind to how deeply they affect each other. This is a deeply transformative relationship for both, and it constantly changes as the child matures.

You may also find your mother to be overbearing and unsympathetic to your emotions. Overall, this relationship can be deeply traumatic for the Scorpio moon and leads to issues with how love is perceived in adulthood.

Sagittarius

If you have a Sagittarius moon, then you grew up viewing your mother figure as somebody full of stories whom you thoroughly enjoyed listening to. However, during adolescence, you likely found your mother to be too controlling or too busy to create a meaningful bond with her. This may have led to you feeling lost when it comes to themes of intimacy in your adult life.

As a Sagittarius moon, you enjoy your freedom. If your mother respects this, then you may have an adventurous relationship with her. However, as you mature, you could end up viewing your mother as naive, especially if you both do not understand each other’s worldview.

Capricorn

If you are a Capricorn moon, you likely felt like the parent in this relationship. This could have manifested in you feeling more mature than your mother. You probably had to take care of her and her affairs at some point. Ultimately, burdened with responsibilities from a young age.

In extreme cases, Capricorn moons are controlled and manipulated by their parents through guilt.

On the other hand, having a Capricorn moon could also mean that your mother was very strict with you. This could have caused you to resent her, but as you mature you start to appreciate the discipline and family values instilled in you.

This is a complex mother-and-child relationship because your mother may have felt emotionally or physically detached from you. This relationship could have also manifested as you feeling like your mother rarely validated how you felt, consequently you learned to hide your feelings in adulthood.

Overall, this mother-and-child relationship has led to you being very empathetic to others’ suffering.

Aquarius

If you have an Aquarius moon, you could have a strict mother with whom you feel like you cannot openly share your emotions. During adolescence, you may have felt an innate need to be emotionally closer to her, but you may been consistently shut down because they were too busy to deal with your feelings.

On the other hand, this is a mother-and-child relationship that feels like a friendship. This is because you can openly share your life with your mother and talk about most things. Although, this may be strained by your mother’s inability to be nurturing.

As an adult, you can comfortably have a conversation with her as you don’t feel the strong urge to bring up your feelings. This brings you both closer, as there isn’t discomfort.

Pisces

If you are the oh-so-dreamy Pisces moon then you are intuitively linked to your mother. So you may feel every emotion that your mother feels.

This relationship causes a Pisces moon to be emotionally resilient as you were likely the ‘strong one’ in this relationship. Ultimately affecting how you view intimacy in adulthood, and inadvertently becoming your friend’s therapist.

This mother-and-child connection may cause you to be aware of the harshness of the world early on in life. This may be because the mother relied on you for comfort. You appreciate your mother and wish to make her life easier. However, her suffering can be overwhelming, and you may sacrifice too much of yourself for her.
