What Does It Mean To Be A Taurus Moon?
The placement of the Moon in your birth chart determines your inner self; it describes your instinctive or emotional energies. Your Sun sign, which is often all we think of when we consider the zodiac signs, only explains the qualities you’re learning to develop and project.
Moon signs, on the other hand, explain all that you already are, even if you don’t realize it yourself.
If Taurus is your Moon sign, that means the Moon was traveling through Taurus when you were born.
Your Moon sign shapes your soul, your reactions, and what you need to feel emotionally secure. A Moon sign controls what goes on below the surface of your personality, and could even influence how strongly your Sun sign is expressed.
When we think of two seemingly different people who share a zodiac sign, it's helpful to look at their Moon signs to explain their differences.
Moon In Taurus Personality Traits & Characteristics
As an earth sign, Taurus relates heavily to the tangible aspects of life. Taurus Moon is not one to get caught up in emotions, nor will they be swept away by spiritual exploits.
Taurus is also a fixed sign, meaning they thrive on routine and consistency. They find security in knowing where they stand and being able to see predictable outcomes for all that they do.
The Moon is exalted in Taurus and the 2nd house, meaning it's stable and full of joy, bringing abundance to all born under a Taurus Moon.
1. Emotionally secure
This stability and abundance bring high measures of self-worth to the Taurus Moon, which allows them to feel safe in their emotions.
They thrive when they feel physically secure, with all of their physical needs satisfied.
Taurus Moons are not overtly materialistic or obsessed with possession, but they do treasure living with material comforts. Life is there to be enjoyed, and they hate how having to worry about money or security can impede feeling safe in their emotions.

Taurus Moon Sign Compatibility
