Klappentext If you think your astrological fate is sealed by your Sun sign, think again! Your emotions, instincts, intuition, and most private passions are dominated by your Moon sign. In this eye-opening volume, world-famous astrologer and therapist Donna Cunningham unravels the often bewildering effects of lunar influence: a person's potential for intimacy, sense of security, family ties, susceptibility to indulgence in food or drink, career ambition, as well as how men and women respond differently to the same lunar promptings in love and life. Cunningham provides all the information you need to determine your own and others' Moon signs-and analyze their power. Moon Signs also charts the daily, monthly, and yearly courses of the moon, which create those predictable mood swings-our "emotional weather." The time-honored tradition of astrology has come into its own as a resource for human development and spiritual insight. For astrological novices and veterans alike, Cunningham's invaluable guide will pave the way to a more profound understanding of the uncharted and sometimes dark side of the soul.INTRODUCTION That Old Devil Moon This is the first book in recent years for the general reader that deals with the astrological and psychological nature of the Moon. Most popular astrology books are about your Sun sign, and while that’s a strong and valid part of you, the Moon is equally important. The Moon sign is the missing dimension in Sun sign astrology, a reason why some people swear astrology doesn’t work.

Everyone says you can’t rely on Geminis, yet don’t you know some who are the Rock of Gibraltar? Haven’t you wondered why some Cancers are clinging and others aren’t? Or why some Pisces are drugged out of their minds and others are so clear and present? What about the Virgos whose houses are pigsties? Or the Capricorns who are shiftless and unreliable? Maybe you, too, have been puzzled by some blatant contradictions in Sun sign traits. One reason is that the Sun sign only gives part of the picture. The Moon sign can be as characteristic of the person as the Sun. As a matter of fact, some Moons are so strong, they override the Sun—especially Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces Moons. Any two people born on May 10 will have the same Sun sign—Taurus—but unless they’re born the same year, their chances of having the same Moon are only one in twelve. Thus, there are twelve brands of Taurus out there, as well as twelve brands of Leo, and twelve brands of each of the twelve signs. Astrologically the Moon represents a number of very important facets of the personality, describing your emotional nature and moods, as well as what you need to maintain that all-important feeling of security. Simple tables will give you the Moon signs of yourself, your friends and family, and anyone else you need to understand better. We’ll be looking at the astrological implications of the Moon’s sign when you were born and what it says about your character. The Moon Sign...
