§ Moon signs · the emotional register

Your moon sign.

Twelve Moon meanings are not the Moon in the sky. Moon today is live tropical sign, phase, and the next lunation — not this index of emotional interiors. Daily horoscope columns are tropical one-sign letters from today's sky, not a catalog of natal Moon signs. A sidereal Vedic birth chart recasts a birth instant through Lahiri ayanamsa and Vimshottari, not a glossary of tropical Moon meanings.

Twelve emotional interiors are not dated sky events. The 2026 Mercury retrograde calendar lists every station date and shadow window — not this index of natal Moon meanings. The 2026 eclipse calendar is four dated solar and lunar maxima, not a glossary of twelve Moon signs.

A Moon-sign index lists meanings, not a computed birth Moon. How Charting Stars calculates birth charts is the natal pipeline that computes the Moon at a birth instant: VSOP87 and IANA historical timezones — not this index of emotional registers. Einstein's birth chart in Hellenistic, Vedic, and BaZi is his tropical Sagittarius versus sidereal Scorpio natal Moon, not a glossary of twelve Moon signs.

A Moon-sign catalog is not a scored fixture table. The Birth Chart Accuracy Test Set publishes 7 natal fixtures with VSOP87 longitudes vs linked targets — not this index of twelve Moon meanings.
