Your moon sign is the zodiac sign the Moon sat in when you were born. You need your birth date, ideally your birth time, and a chart calculator.

A cusp birthday, your sun, moon and rising signs, two zodiac systems, or the sky's slow drift. Here is which one applies to you.

The short version of each, before you read it.

Your moon sign is the zodiac sign the Moon was in at the moment you were born.
The Moon orbits Earth in about 27.3 days, so it changes sign roughly every two and a half days.
You need a birth-chart calculator with your date, place and ideally your birth time; date tables only give your sun sign.
No birth time? Check noon, early morning and late evening: if all three agree, that is very likely your moon sign.

Two signs usually means a cusp birthday, a moon or rising sign, a sidereal chart, or the 13-constellation count.
If you were born near a changeover, your birth year and time decide which side of the line you land on.
Vedic (sidereal) charts usually place you about one sign earlier than Western (tropical) ones, because of a 26,000-year wobble in Earth's axis.
NASA did not change the zodiac; the Sun's path simply crosses 13 constellations, including Ophiuchus.
