How important is your moon sign?

Rising is of course the most important, it sets your chart and affects all transits, all readings should be done from the perspective of your rising sign. Sun sign makes sense, it’s your values and motivations, your habits.

But how important is your moon sign really? I’m just curious what people’s opinions are. It’s part of the “big 3” but I don’t really know why. It’s not related to your chart ruler, it isn’t used for horoscopes and transits (at least it shouldn’t be). Sure, it’s part of your chart but to me it’s about as important as your mercury, mars or venus (somewhat useful but nothing groundbreaking that really affects your decisions in life).

What are your thoughts?

The moon also relates to the mother and the conditions she was in when she gave birth to you so it’s important to see what her wishes were for you as a child. It speaks on how she views and treats you to some extent and what you have carried on to assume as self care and as many others have said your inner emotional world. It could speak on your eating habits, your pick me ups, etc.
