In popular astrology a comparison of the respective Sun signs of the partners is used to interpret how well the couple matches.
Neither the Moon signs nor any other planetary signs are taken into account.
But if we know that the position of the Sun in the zodiac signs gives some information about the vital energy, the willpower, the ego and the self etc... you cannot tell that these are THE traits you're looking for in a mate, hey ? You must be kidding...
Isn't it more important to feel comfortable and in-sync with one another?
Isn't it more essential that your primary needs and your habits are compatible with one another?
Well, these (primary) feelings and our instinctive needs for comfort and security are represented by the Moon.
The Moon's placement indicates the area we feel comfortable and safe with, the things we need to feel at home. The Moon brings us unconsciously to the things we feel emotionally attached to.
This is the basic reason why we at Cosmic Technologies (CosmiTec) find the Moon signs and its placement more important and significant than the Sun signs.
The Moon and the Moon signs will instinctively point to whom you feel attracted and attached to.
So, the Moon's position is NOT about endurability, not even 'compatibility' as such, but only unconscious attachment and attraction. After all, you can also be attracted to Ms. or Mr. Wrong too!
You may argue that the Moon is and the Moon signs are (again) just only ONE point in the horoscope and that there are other points....
We know... we know... And you are absolutely right there!
At the risk of oversimplification, our point of view is just that the Moon and the Moon signs show the one you are attracted and attached to.
From all the planets only the Moon will take you to your Comfort Zone. That's all. So we will not neglect the other parts of the picture at all.
But first the Moon!
How do you know or find the Moon signs and your Moon sign in particular?
You need your date of birth and your birth time. So please check with your birth certificate from the place where you were born for the exact birth time (at birthtime.info you can see for yourself the importance of a correct time of birth).
If you have that information, go to the web site of Astrodienst AG in Switserland to get your totally free birth chart (natal Chart Wheel) by

When you learn astrology, one of the first lessons will always be about the meaning of the planets and the signs. The planets are the players, the signs are the scenery. Some astrologers compare the planets and the signs with persons or identities (the planets) having a certain attitude or mode of expression (the signs). The houses the planets and signs are in represent the places where this all happens. So, the Moon signs point to the expression of your emotional behaviour.
We think that you can keep these very good comparisons in your mind.
This said, let's get back to our topic, the Moon signs.
We at Cosmic Technologies (CosmiTec) have done some research (in fact, we are continuously doing astrological research with the AstroDatabank) and we are convinced that in every astrological research about humans there should be made a difference between men and women.
Both species have the same basic feelings, intentions, desires etc.., but they totally differentiate in expressing these urges. These differences can be found in the natal chart.
From our own research between male-female couples and love-relationships we can present the following findings re the Moon signs.
The difficulty with such (research)projects is to find very accurate and detailed biographical information of people to search for (a) common denominator(s).
As an astrologer you rely on the information that your client gives you. But sometimes this information is 'colored' or just false.
It's even more difficult to find the peculiar traits and habits of his/her partner/lover. By doing the necessary (astrological) research it's always better to look as much as possible for undisputable 'facts and figures'.
What do the Moon signs tell about the one you are attracted to?
The table below will tell you. As soon as more results become available, we will update it.

Though this kind of research of a single condition (i.c. Moon signs) has some merit, we at Cosmic Technologies have found that some real good and more reliable astrological aphorisms do NOT come from this kind of research.
This research is again kind of an oversimplification, the same we mentioned when we discussed about the Sun signs, because there is only one planet, one factor or condition involved.
Instead, we should try to look for a chain of different astrological conditions that are all present in the birth charts of the researched grouping.
You can compare it with a chemical formula we are looking for, though here it's not the chemical substances that count but the corresponding and similar planetary positions, planetary pictures and geometrical alignments.
Moon signs should (or could) be a single part of it.
Let's give an example:
We have found that in the birth chart of a woman (first condition), the Moon in the sign Capricorn (2nd condition) in the 7th house - of the other, of the partners - (3rd condition), this woman will almost certainly be attracted to (much) older lovers, partners, men.
We have also found that in the birth chart of a woman (first condition), the Moon in the sign of Gemini (2nd condition) in the 7th house - of the other, of the partner - (3rd condition), the opposite is true. This woman will very likely be attracted to younger lovers, partners, men.
There is a place you can touch a woman that will drive her crazy. Her heart -- Melanie Griffith -- More Love Quotes...
Though not infallible, these rules about Moon signs have amazed us over and over. Still we should try to find more conditions to get better results.
But before we can find such results, we need a lot of data and biographical information and sometimes these data are not available.
We hope you understand that such research is quite time-consuming. It also needs a very keen insight of the researcher and a most accurate deduction of the available information.
The Moon signs tell another story too. A story about how you relate to the outer world, to your lover, friends and family.
In the table below you can find some general, but most important significations re relating according to the position of the Moon in the zodiac signs.

In this part we have been analyzing the Moon signs in the single birth chart.
But in fact we should compare the respective Moons (and Moon signs) of both partners to see if they sense the same basic emotional needs and feelings.
It's only when the respective Comfort Zones match well that emotional understanding and relating is possible. So let's compare both Moon signs and see what makes
Moon signs compatible.
