The Impact Of The Moon’s Transit Through Each Zodiac Sign

Last updated by Susan Taylor

Every expert agrees that the Moon is one of the most important figures in the field of astrology. This mysterious satellite is not only responsible for the tides and various aspects of nature, but it also has a big influence on our attitudes, states of mind and moods. The Moon’s transit through each zodiac sign is an exciting phenomenon to follow. It can also explain sudden changes in each of our personalities, because, after all, the Moon in Aries won't have the same effects on us as when it's in Cancer, for example. Our in-house Astrologer; Susan Taylor, explains what happens when the Moon is in each sign.

The Impact Of The Moon’s Transit Through Each Zodiac Sign

As the Moon moves through the zodiac signs, it highlights the natural energy of the sign that it passes through. The transits through the signs are extremely fast, meaning extra rhythm is added to the already present characteristics of each sign, so for example an angry Aries, could become even more agitated. 

How do the Lunar transits impact us?

This satellite's transit through each sign affects the way people feel about themselves and the degree of satisfaction they get from their current life. It also touches on the way they view their relationships with their children, parents, family life, as well as other areas related to their roots. This process is often at the root of our desire for change and transformation.

N.B. No matter what your horoscope sign is, each of us will be impacted by the Moon's movement, even when it isn’t in our own zodiac sign.

When the Moon is in Aries

Sensitivity is both stimulated and disturbed by aggressive swirls or impulses, revealed here by Mars, the master of Aries. During this time, individuals tend to assert themselves through their sensitivity.  When the Moon is in Aries, we are naturally inclined to sublimate situations. We are also susceptible to sudden discouragement when we make mistakes following poor decisions.

>>>

When in Taurus

The meeting of the Moon and Venus; Taurus’ ruling planet, makes for an intensification of sensuality. Our sensitivity is thus centered on the joys of life and on our feelings. This Lunar transit pushes us towards emotional devotion, but makes it difficult for us to express ourselves. It often makes us naive, but also resentful when betrayed or disappointed. Our deep-rooted need for well-being and material security is also reinforced.

>>>

When the Moon is in Gemini

The sensitive qualities of the Moon, here in the home of Mercury, are stimulated by a mental agitation which can make the mind particularly imaginative, sociable and communicative, or, on the contrary, detached and distant. In both cases, there is nevertheless a kind of youthful elation, a developed sense of humor and lively curiosity when the Moon is in Gemini. This event can sometimes lead to a subtle split personality or a tendency to confusion.

>>>

When in Cancer

When the Moon arrives home, sensitivity is fully and freely expressed. When the Moon is in Cancer, this configuration makes us more romantic. Although, their sensitive qualities are still predominant. When this transit takes place, people are in need of tenderness, affection, protection, understanding, and security. However, we can expect tantrums to increase around this time; buckle up!

>>>

When the Moon is in Leo

Here the Lunar qualities are warmed by the presence of the Sun in Leo. The sensitivity then become radiant and warm, and merges well with the will of the individual who tends, without realizing it, becomes more self-sufficient. When the Moon is in Leo, our sensitivity is often defeated and burned by the fires of will and desire. On the flip side, our vanity becomes stronger, along with our desire to experience rare sensations.

>>>

When in Virgo

Present in the second home of Mercury, the Moon now fixes itself on the practical details of material life. The Moon in Virgo reveals in individuals a sensibility related to the immediate present, which prohibits them from any form of abandonment. However, it also conceals a very refined nature, which is always in search of the ultimate or, conversely, a reasoned and justified detachment from life.

>>>

When the Moon is in Libra

Complying with a plan is the focus when the Moon is in Libra. Being in complete harmony with yourself and comfortable in your own skin is essential. Removing negative influences from our environment is important in making us feel in perfect balance with our ideas and values. Emotions may run high, but logical thinking will persevere and help you take control. Making decisions is tough, and you’ll be torn between what to do. 

>>>

When in Scorpio

Things may become scarily intense when the Moon is in Scorpio. Our feelings will be amplified which is why every drop of joy or even inconvenience feels as if it’s been multiplied by 100. Our passion and desire to move forward will be stronger than ever during this Lunar transit and will definitely help us get the essential things done. This Lunar event will make us powerful and help us set goals for the future.

>>>

When the Moon is in Sagittarius

The Moon in Sagittarius will boost our optimism and ensure we focus on good vibes. During this transit, we will be determined to make changes in our lives, seek a new path and rid ourselves of negativity. Moving forward and focusing on a brighter future is what’s important here. Your spontaneous and fun-loving personalities will be amplified, which will lead the way to some beautiful memories being made.

>>>

When in Capricorn

Whenever the Moon is in Capricorn, we instantly become more serious and more focused on our life goals. There’s not a second to waste if we want to achieve greatness, and this transit reminds us of this. Success and admiration are what motivate us to do better and move forward. Now is the time to sow the seeds of hard work if you want to succeed in the long run. This period is a positive influence on those of us with big dreams.

>>>

When the Moon is in Aquarius

Whenever the Moon enters Aquarius, we feel the need to learn new things and explore different horizons. This Lunar event will see us develop new and intellectual relationships that will go on to help us in our careers. Change is likely to happen at this point, and you’ll find yourself taking a step closer to your goals. Your deep need for freedom and expression is likely to be intensified, too.

>>>

When in Pisces

When the Moon enters Pisces, we are instantly plunged into a dreamy and whimsical mood. Our imaginations and sense of creativity will know no bounds, and we’ll come up with some excellent ideas. A change of heart could also be provoked during this astrology event and may even change our lives for the better.

🌌 What are Lunar transits, and why do they matter?

Lunar transits refer to the Moon’s movement through the twelve zodiac signs, which it completes approximately every 28 days. Each sign brings a unique emotional tone, influencing our moods, instincts, and reactions. Because the Moon governs our inner world—our intuition, emotions, and subconscious—its transits can trigger powerful shifts in how we feel and respond to life. Understanding these shifts helps us align our actions with the cosmic rhythm and make more intentional choices.

For deeper insight, check your birth chart to see where the Moon is transiting and how it interacts with your personal planets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lunar Transits 🌙

How long does the Moon stay in each zodiac sign?

The Moon stays in each zodiac sign for about 2.5 days. This means its influence is short but powerful, often triggering emotional shifts and changes in mood or focus.

Do lunar transits affect everyone the same way?

Not exactly. While everyone feels the general energy of a lunar transit, the impact is more personal if the Moon activates key points in your natal chart—like your Sun, Moon, or Ascendant. Your zodiac sign and emotional sensitivity also play a role.

Can I use lunar transits to plan important events?

Yes! Many people use the Moon’s transits to choose the best days for meetings, dates, creative work, or rest. For example, a Moon in Leo is great for public speaking, while a Moon in Virgo is ideal for organizing or health-related tasks.

What’s the difference between Moon phases and Moon signs?

Moon phases (New Moon, Full Moon, etc.) refer to how much of the Moon is visible from Earth, while Moon signs refer to which zodiac sign the Moon is currently transiting. Both influence your emotions, but in different ways. Combining both gives a fuller picture of lunar energy.

How can I find out which sign the Moon is in today?

You can check our Moon calendar for daily updates on the Moon’s sign and phase. This tool helps you stay aligned with the lunar rhythm and plan your days accordingly.
