Most of us know that your sun represents your self expression, you moon represents your emotions and inner world, and your ascendant represents your personality, person, and appearance. However, the big three can show us our strengths, weaknesses, and what we strive to gain in life.
If we look at the Big 3 from a different lens, we can see that :
-Your Ascendant shows what you naturally have or can gain easily
-Your Sun shows you what you strive for and pursue to gain
-You Moon shows what you expect to have but have to work at getting.

I might sound mean to the moon signs but your moon is the karmic emotions you need to work out in this life. So it sounds a little harsh. That’s why our childhood could be found in our moon - our childhood is closest to our karmic past. Planets conjuncting sun and moon & planets in 1st house can change and add color to this. Also, if u got some planets in the natural house ruler of the sign of your sun, moon, or rising (I hope i said that right) it could alter some things.4 ex. -I'm an aqua rising-I attract lots of people in my life, but I have Saturn, Neptune, & Uranus in my 11th so some of those people suck lol .
Hope you Like this and this resonates.
I am a Leo, and this is really spot on! I do pride myself for my creativity, but sometimes I can get extremely shy and I just expect things to magically turn out the way I want them to.
Leo here and I can relate to this. I am shy, but I'm trying to get better at this. I'm pretty creative but I'm humble and shy. I need to work on this for sure.
This is great! I love what the moon tells us. Something we need to work on! It's very interesting to me. Once you work on that and fix it, is there something else you work on?
This is very interesting. I tend to think of myself as a pretty independent person, but sometimes I do feel like something is holding me back from being as autonomous as I'd like to be. How do I find out what that something is?
Very interesting! I am a Scorpio and I had a great childhood. So I think my moon is just wrong, but it could be the way I'm reading it too. I'll have to see what's in my 11th to see if I can relate.
