Your Moon Sign Compatibility Guide

Do you know your Moon sign? In astrology, the Moon represents your intuition and memories, as well as the parts of your heart that you keep to yourself but still feel deeply. Your Moon sign—aka the zodiac sign the Moon was in when you were born—also shows your emotional reactions to matters, especially in how you nurture others and yourself.

In relationships, Moon sign compatibility is important because it helps you connect on a deeper, emotional level. Your Sun sign represents your ego, determination, and desires, but your Moon sign signifies your innermost sentiments. When two people's Moon signs align, they can develop a relationship that lasts a lifetime and attain an understanding that’s truly soulful.

If you really click with your partner or your crush but your Sun signs are supposedly "incompatible," take a look at your Moon signs—it could explain so much.

To find your (or your partner's/crush's/enemy's) Moon sign, simply put your/their birth date, time, and location into the birth chart calculator below:

Your Moon sign adds emotional depth to your birth chart. When two people have compatible Moon signs, they can share similar memories from childhood, and they have a deep connection that transcends time. We look to the Moon sign to check out stability and longevity in partnerships. If the Moon signs are compatible, then two people can form a bond that will withstand the test of time.

Sun sign compatibility doesn’t hold as a flame to Moon sign compatibility. Moon signs dictate our emotions and subconscious responses, while the Sun reflects our egos and is easily seen by others. The Moon is our comfort zone and who we are in private, while the Sun reflects the face the world sees first. This means that when it comes to compatibility, it's all about the Moon.

Your Moon sign compatibility guide:

Most compatible with: Gemini Moon, Leo Moon, Libra Moon, Sagittarius Moon

Least compatible with: Cancer Moon, Capricorn Moon

Aries Moons are known to be assertive, temperamental, and bold. This makes you a natural fit for fellow fiery Moon signs Leo and Sagittarius, as well as air sign Gemini Moon and their zodiac opposite Libra Moon (because opposites attract, at least in compatibility!).

Aries and Gemini Moons have a lot to talk about, which means that they’ll connect over nostalgia, gossip, and their feelings. A Gemini Moon will feel as though an Aries Moon is their kindred spirit, and Aries Moons will share many laughs with their airy bestie. Aries Moon can also form a strong connection with air sign Libra Moon, which is Aries' opposite on the zodiac wheel. In astrology, zodiac opposites can learn a ton from each other, while also feel drawn to each other like magnets.

Aries Moons and Leo Moons are able to understand the other on a soulful level, as they can feel the other intuitively. These two will mirror each other’s actions and reactions, which helps them get along perfectly. As for the last fire sign, Aries Moons and Sagittarius Moons like to have fun together. They'll wipe the other’s tears, then do tequila shots to alleviate the pain. They will be the life of the party, and they'll never leave each other’s side when the going gets tough.

On the other hand, Aries Moon might find water signs to be a bit of a drip, particularly homebody Cancer. Where Aries is go, go, go, Cancer is all I'm staying at home. Similarly, Aries might butt heads with stoic Capricorn. They're just way too different!

Most compatible with: Cancer Moon, Scorpio Moon, Pisces Moon, Virgo Moon

Least compatible with: Aquarius Moon, Leo Moon

Taurus Moons are known for their pleasure-seeking and stable sensibilities, which makes them an ideal partner for Cancer Moon, Virgo Moon, or Pisces Moon. Taurus Moons and Cancer Moons are able to connect over their need for security and commitment. Both value building a strong foundation and creating a home life together.

Taurus Moons and Virgo Moons are both practical, and they appreciate the way the other reacts calmly to intense situations. A Taurus Moon will ask advice from a Virgo Moon, who in return listens to their concerns carefully. Taurus Moon also vibes with their zodiac opposite, Scorpio Moon. Opposites attract, after all! Finally, a Taurus Moon and a Pisces Moon make a great couple. They'll be the best of friends and offer each other tender support when needed. Both Moon signs indicate highly creative people—both love a concert or art show date.

On the other hand, Taurus Moon might have a hard time connection with Aquarius Moon and Leo Moon. Aquarius Moon is just too out-there for sensible Taurus Moon, and Taurus Moons can get annoyed with Leo Moon's nonstop need for the spotlight.

Most compatible with: Libra Moon, Sagittarius Moon, Aquarius Moon, Gemini Moon

Least compatible with: Virgo Moon, Pisces Moon

Gemini Moons are known for their emotionally smart and chatty nature. In a relationship, they vibe well with Libra Moon, Sagittarius Moon, and Aquarius Moon. Gemini Moon and Libra Moons are emotionally compatible. Gemini Moon's communicative nature can help Libra Moon learn to assert their emotions, and Libra Moon can help Gemini Moon mellow out. Fellow air signs Gemini Moon and Aquarius Moon are also great communicators. They offer each other intellectual stimulation and an ability to see matters from different perspectives.

Gemini Moon and Sagittarius Moon are opposites in every way—which is exactly why they get along. Their mutable nature allows them to gossip and talk nonstop about everything under the sun. Finally, Gemini is the sign of the Twins, so it makes sense that another Gemini Moon is an excellent match for a Gemini Moon. Two is better than one!

On the other hand, Gemini Moon might clash with Virgo Moon and Pisces Moon. Gemini Moon finds Virgo Moon to be a bit of a stick-in-the-mud, and Pisces Moon is too emotional and sensitive for intellectual, fast-moving Gemini Moon.

Most compatible with: Libra Moon, Scorpio Moon, Pisces Moon, Libra Moon

Least compatible with: Aries Moon, Gemini Moon

Cancer Moons know how to comprehend their changeable feelings. These sensitive signs are a match for Libra Moon, Scorpio Moon, and Pisces Moon. Cancer Moon and Libra Moon are both very relationship-oriented signs, so they’ll always try to work out any issues by having long conversations about their feels.

Fellow water signs Cancer Moon and Scorpio Moons will have a wonderful time bonding. They’ll get super deep, super fast. Nothing can break the commitment they share—in fact, their relationships can last a lifetime. Cancer Moon also clicks with another water sign, Pisces Moon. These two make the best pals and lovers because they're able to use their intuition to help them understand themselves, each other, and the world around them.

Cancer Moon can have a harder time clicking with fire and air Moon signs, particularly Aries Moon and Gemini Moon. Aries Moon's brash energy and Cancer Moon's sensitivity can clash, while fast-moving, fast-talking Gemini Moon can be a headache to Cancer Moon.

Most compatible with: Taurus Moon, Scorpio Moon, Aquarius Moon, Sagittarius Moon

Least compatible with: Cancer Moon, Virgo Moon

Leo Moons are loyal and kind-hearted, with a flair for passion and drama. They're an excellent fit for Taurus Moon, Scorpio Moon, Sagittarius Moon, and Aquarius Moon. Both Leo Moons and Taurus Moons are generous with those they care about. These two will always make time for the other. They give freely and don’t require anything in return—except love and affection, which their partner will happily give. Fellow fire signs Leo Moon and Sagittarius Moon get along like, well, a house on fire. They encourage each other's adventurous and outgoing nature, making them a total power couple.

Leo Moons and Scorpio Moons can work well together, because a Leo Moon can help a Scorpio Moon trust the world more. Meanwhile, a Scorpio Moon will give a Leo Moon the drive to crush their visions. Finally, Leo Moons and Aquarius Moons may be opposites, but their polarity brings them closer together. While Leo is hot-blooded and Aquarius is emotionally aloof, they’re able to find a middle ground that unifies them.

On the other hand, Leo Moon can struggle to connect with their zodiac neighbors, Cancer Moon and Virgo Moon. Neither of these introverts can handle Leo Moon's shine!

Most compatible with: Cancer Moon, Gemini Moon, Scorpio Moon, Pisces Moon

Least compatible with: Sagittarius Moon, Leo Moon

Virgo Moons are good at analyzing and understanding their emotions. They're particularly compatible with Cancer Moons, Gemini Moons, and Scorpio Moons. Both Virgo Moons and Taurus Moons are homebodies who value their routines and self-care rituals. They're both always improving themselves and the world around them.

Both Virgo Moons and Gemini Moons are ruled by the planet Mercury, which makes them a natural fit. A Gemini Moon will trust a Virgo Moon's counsel, while a Gemini Moon will make a Virgo Moon feel at home. For the water signs, Virgo Moonclicks with their zodiac opposite, Pisces Moon—logical Virgo Moon and emotional Pisces Moon can help each other grow and bring out another side of each other. Finally, Virgo Moons and Scorpio Moons enjoy a friendly, spicy banter—they both love to talk about mysteries and taboos, plus they’re good at solving problems together.

On the other hand, Virgo Moons might struggle to connect with fire sign Moons, particularly Sagittarius Moon and Leo Moon. Their hotheaded, over-the-top, frankly, messy energy is not something Virgo Moon wants anything to do with.

Most compatible with: Aries Moon, Leo Moon, Sagittarius Moon, Gemini Moon

Least compatible with: Capricorn Moon, Cancer Moon

Libra Moons are diplomatic, social, and clear-thinking about their emotions. In a partnership, they thrive with Aries Moons, Leo Moons, Sagittarius Moons, and Gemini Moons. First, Libra Moons and Aries Moons can create an everlasting relationship—if Libra Moon can chill Aries Moon's hot temper and Aries Moon can learn to calm down before speaking tactfully about their feels.

Libra Moons and Leo Moons can help each other commit. Relationship-oriented Libra Moon offers loyalty to their Leo Moon partner, and in return, Leo Moon spoils Libra Moon with luxurious gifts, meals, clothes, and vacations. Libra Moon also clicks with fellow air signs, particularly Gemini Moon. Together, they can talk about anything and everything for hours! Finally, a Libra Moon is the rock that a spirited Sagittarius Moon needs when they run off on their newest adventure. At the same time, a Sagittarius Moon shakes up a Libra Moon’s comfort zone—in a positive way.

On the other hand, Libra Moon can struggle to connect with Capricorn Moon and Cancer Moon. They're both too serious for this party animal Moon sign!

Most compatible with: Aries Moon, Capricorn Moon, Pisces Moon, Taurus Moon

Least compatible with: Aquarius Moon, Leo Moon

Scorpio Moons are very perceptive, sensitive, and transformational. They vibe well with Aries Moons, Capricorn Moons, Pisces Moons, and Taurus Moons. First, Scorpio Moons and Aries Moons are both ambitious and impetuous, which means that they're able to connect in a very real way. They get each other’s emotional outbursts and need for immense TLC.

Scorpio Moons also get along well with Capricorn Moons because both signs know that hard work is necessary to succeed in life. Both put in the effort to make their partnership strong and lasting. Similarly, Scorpio Moon vibes with earth sign Taurus Moon, their literal opposite on the zodiac—opposites attract, after all. Finally, Scorpio Moon and Pisces Moon are two lunar water signs who always seem to find each other. It’s easy for them to get wrapped up in each other’s fantasies and dreams, which is exactly what they both crave from romance and friendship.

On the other hand, emotional Scorpio Moon can struggle to connect with logical Aquarius Moon and sociable Leo Moon. They look outwards when Scorpio Moon wants to look inwards.

Most compatible with: Cancer Moon, Aquarius Moon, Pisces Moon, Gemini Moon

Least compatible with: Virgo Moon, Capricorn Moon

Sagittarius Moons are curious, adventurous, and friendly. In a relationship, they work well with Cancer Moon, Aquarius Moon, Pisces Moon, and Gemini Moon. First, Sagittarius Moon and Cancer Moon understand each other’s thirst to try new things—especially when it comes to food. They’ll connect over their new favorite restaurant or recipe and be swept away by the need to taste everything.

Both Sagittarius Moons and Aquarius Moons like to have freedom in relationships. Each can give the other space to process their emotions on their own terms without asking a lot of nagging questions. Sagittarius Moon is also a great fit with their zodiac opposite, Gemini Moon—they bring out the best in each other and the push-and-pull of their dynamic is a lot of fun for them both. Finally, Sagittarius Moons and Pisces Moons share a philosophical view of the world and their emotions. They’re old souls who truly understand each other.

On the other hand, Sagittarius Moon can clash with Virgo Moon and Capricorn Moon. These earth signs are just too critical and pessimistic for Sagittarius Moon!

Most compatible with: Gemini Moon, Virgo Moon, Pisces Moon, Cancer Moon

Least compatible with: Aries Moon, Libra Moon

Capricorn Moons give their all to developing their relationships. They're an excellent partner for a Gemini Moon, Virgo Moon, Pisces Moon, or Cancer Moons. Gemini Moons know how to make Capricorn Moons take a break from work and find time for play—which is exactly the kind of distraction that the sea-goat needs. Cancer Moon, Capricorn Moon's zodiac opposite, brings out their sensitive side and helps them grow.

Both Capricorn Moons and Virgo Moons are business-oriented and practical. They don’t mince words, which is why they get on so well. Capricorn Moon and Pisces Moon complement each other. Pisces Moon is willing to relinquish control to Capricorn Moon, who’s eager to take charge. Pisces will help Capricorn open up, while Capricorn will help Pisces learn to be more responsible.

On the other hand, Capricorn Moon can find Aries Moon too childish and Libra Moon too shallow. These two can still connect if they have other compatible placements, but they might struggle to communicate emotionally.

Most compatible with: Aries Moon, Libra Moon, Capricorn Moon, Leo Moon

Least compatible with: Taurus Moon, Scorpio Moon

Aquarius Moons are open-minded and independent. They vibe well with Aries Moon, Libra Moon, Leo Moon, and Capricorn Moon. Both Aquarius Moon and Aries Moon are unique communicators, as long as they give each other enough time to speak their minds. Aquarius Moon also clicks with their zodiac opposite, Leo Moon.

Both Aquarius Moons and Libra Moons are amazing at seeing situations and others for who they really are. They both know how to disconnect their emotions from their intellect. Finally, Aquarius Moons and Capricorn Moons bond over their serious views of life. An Aquarius Moon is able to give a Capricorn Moon a more lighthearted POV by inspiring change and growth.

On the other hand, Aquarius can clash with Taurus Moon and Scorpio Moon. These three signs are the most stubborn of the zodiac, and none of them are all that good at compromising.

Most compatible with: Virgo Moon, Libra Moon, Pisces Moon, Cancer Moon

Least compatible with: Gemini Moon, Sagittarius Moon

Pisces Moons are intuitive, tender, and sentimental, making them an excellent match with Virgo Moon, Libra Moon, Cancer Moon, and fellow Pisces Moons. First, Pisces Moons and Virgo Moons are very different, but their differences bring them together. A Virgo Moon will make a Pisces Moon face the music, no matter how hard the mutable water sign tries to resist it.

On the other hand, Pisces Moons and Libra Moons help each other find balance in their emotions. Pisces Moons tend to go to extremes, and Libra Moons help them face reality. Pisces clicks on an emotional level with fellow water sign Cancer Moon. These two are deep in their feelings together! Finally, who's a better match for a Pisces Moon than another Pisces Moon? Not only do these two see each for who they truly are, but they will also both let their intuition and emotions guide them through this partnership.

On the other hand, Pisces Moon can struggle to connect with Gemini Moon and Sagittarius Moon. Playful Gemini Moon and outspoken Sagittarius Moon can both accidentally hurt Pisces Moon's sensitive feelings.
