Moon signs are the planetary placement in a person's horoscope chart and are the moving cycle in the chart that helps define our emotions and make up the unconscious side of our personality. The Moon represents the more impressionist side of us and our inner feelings. The Moon goes through the complete Zodiac within the 28 day cycle and enters a new zodiac sign approximately every 2 1/2 days. The position of the transiting moon (moon's current position) helps determine the general mood of people. The moon sign positions greatly influence the outcomes of events involving human interactions. When the Moon is in a certain zodiac, the characteristics of that zodiac sign color the moon's expression. The moon rules over issues related to family and interaction among family members, social gatherings and general proceedings in the home environment. The moon sign, when taken in combination with the Sun sign, tells about a person and is an essential part of learning about oneself.
The twelve Zodiac moon signs can be divided into four groups: air, fire, earth and water.

Air - Gemini, Libra and Aquarius
The astrological moon signs of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius are a little different from the Sun signs because they deal with the emotions and feelings of a person. For instance, Gemini likes to acquire as much information as they can about a given situation and let others know what they have learnt. Their moon sign makes them avid talkers to get their feelings known. The Moon in Gemini is not a very favorable position. People with the Moon in Gemini may be acute in their mental processes, quick to receive impressions and forming judgments. People of both sexes with the Moon in Gemini are frivolous, light-headed, inconstant and somewhat shallow. The position is favorable for an investor, accountant, journalist, research worker, librarian or dancer.
