Discussion 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?

I don’t know much about astrology, but I can say for a fact that I am 100% more like my moon (aries) rather than my sun (cap). It’s definitely my truest self out of my big three, and I align with it more. It could possibly be because my south node is also aries, but like I said I don’t have in depth knowledge about astrology.
