Sun Moon Combinations In Astrology: An Overview

Knowing your sun moon combination allows you to understand better the inner works of your psyche.

In the birth chart, Sun and Moon are the most influential planets determining your personality, even though other planets still have their impact.

When Sun and Moon are compatible, there is a feeling of interior harmony in the day-to-day behavior and your personal reaction to what the world offers.

However, if these two planets are incompatible, there might be issues with a split personality and some challenges in day-to-day life.

In general, the first impression the world and other people have on us is determined by the Ascendant in combination with the Sun.

However, it is possible that this first impression you cause on other people is not what you intimately feel, and you might not like that discrepancy.

But the apparently disharmonious Sun and Moon placements might not be that bad, though… After all, their combination results in a more complex and complete personality.

Alright. Now let’s look at each sun sign relationship with every possible moon positioning. Are you ready?
