The Moon is similar to an emotional map.

Your moon placement reveals how your early childhood development was paved as well as the relationship you have with your parents, especially your maternal figures. Your Moon sign is how you emotionally connect with others and build long-lasting relationships.

The importance of the natal Moon placement — both the sign and the house — is evident in parenting, especially in a child's early life when communication isn't clear.

Understanding the emotional needs of your child's Moon sign can help you see how they want to be loved.

When parents know their child's Moon sign, they can learn how to build a good foundation with their child based on what the Moon requires emotionally.

A good foundation leads to trust. Once trust is established between parent and child, the child can be more willing to express their emotions in an environment that brings them a sense of security, freedom, and no judgment. 

Aries Moon child

Having an Aries Moon makes the natives fearless and determined.

The Aries Moon child should learn about patience, structure, and learning how to wait so they aren't as impulsive. Showing them the value of love can help them establish stronger friendships. 

Taurus Moon child

Taurus placements need to feel protected and cared for.

The child with a Taurus Moon should be in an environment where the Moon can feel secure and self-assured. They should also need a space where they can develop their creative skills.

Gemini Moon child

The Gemini Moon child should be in an environment that focuses on their early education and establishing good communication.

Gemini feels enthusiastic when they are mentally stimulated. Encouraging them to read, write and do productive hobbies can build their confidence.

Cancer Moon child

The Cancer Moon child should be taught to be brave and confident in their emotional nature. A good environment will allow the child to discuss their feelings and not feel discouraged to have daily conversations with their parents.

Leo Moon child

Leo Moons are natural artists and they like to be the center of attention. Allowing their creative side to flow and take flight is an excellent way to help the child have a solid foundation early on.

The more confident they become, the more they shine. They thrive in an environment where they are appreciated, nurtured, and loved with all their hearts.

Virgo Moon child

The native with this placement usually struggles with self-esteem. Their loved ones need to learn not to critique them. Instead, they should help build the child’s confidence.

Allowing the Virgo Moon to express themselves freely will help them not resort to auto-criticizing themselves in the future.

In order to let the child understand the value of positive connections, the Libra Moon needs to learn about boundaries so that they can love themselves and feel more confident in friendships in the future. It is also a good way to empower them.

Scorpio Moon child 

Scorpio Moons need to feel valued and protected. Having an emotionally intelligent parent that is there for them and helps them is essential.

The loved ones of the Scorpio Moon can help the child trust people more as they get older through love and being attentive to their needs.

Sagittarius Moon child

Sagittarius Moons are dreamers with a passion for learning. An environment that teaches them to appreciate education and learning early on, can allow them to become more confident in themselves. They will also cultivate their philosophy later on.

Capricorn Moon child

Capricorn Moons can be fiercely independent but still want to feel the warmth and love of their parents. The Capricorn Moon should be in an environment of care and protection in order for the native to feel comfortable and unconditionally loved at home.

Aquarius Moon child

The Uranus-ruled Aquarius Moon will want to learn the value of freedom as they get older. The parents of the natives can help them feel more comfortable with themselves by showing them to appreciate their gifts and unique nature through love and care.

Pisces Moon child

Nurturing the child’s creative and imaginative side should be important. Pisces Moon tends to get lost in their thoughts, so having someone in their lives understand this is essential.

The parents should also focus on teaching them the importance of honesty.
