There are many reasons for feeling like we have a broken heart when a love relationship ends. The dictionary defines a broken heart as—a state of extreme grief or sorrow, typically caused by the ending of a romantic relationship or the death of a loved one.

When one experiences the ending of a love relationship, we are often inconsolable. Our world looks dark and depressing, at least in the short term. It is such a very private human experience. Each of us experiences the end of a romance in our own unique emotional way. No matter how much others try to help us, our hearts heal over time at our own pace.

But is there any hidden resource that can help us through such a difficult time?

Yes there is. There is a force within each of us that can heal and nurture us, even through a deeply broken heart. It is our Moon sign, which is part of our horoscope.

How Does the Moon Affect Us?

In our birth chart, the Moon sign rules our emotions and deep-rooted feelings. It indicates our cultural conditioning, and immediate emotional response to people, places and things—even how we feel about our love relationships.

Our Moon sign reveals the attitudes that were instilled in us by our family and developed in our childhood. The Moon position determines how we react to the behavior and actions of others. The Moon sign reveals the special needs we have to feel emotionally satisfied and secure.

In order to heal a broken heart that comes with the ending of a relationship, our Moon sign gives us valuable self-understanding and re-assurance that no matter what happened in the love relationship that left us with a broken heart—we did the very best we could at the time. We were just being “who we are.” Regardless, we are still a very loveable person who will one day love, and be loved again.

Your individual Moon sign, will give you insight into your unique love nature and put you on the path to self-forgiveness whether you are thinking, “How could I ever have been with that rotten person for so long!” or whether you’re asking yourself, “How could I have ever been so rotten to that person for so long!”

At the end of this article, you can use the FREE Transit Calculator to find out your Moon sign. Then, look it up (in the list below) to learn about your special emotional needs and discover insights that can help you make your next relationship even more fulfilling. Here is a list of the 12 Moon signs:

Moon in ARIES

You have a fiery, independent nature that can be charming as long as you’re getting what you want. You insist on doing what you want whether it’s right or wrong. Because of this tendency, you resent anyone interfering with your actions. You can be rather impatient and have an emotionally volatile nature, often behaving impulsively without carefully considering the consequences of your actions. Your nature is to have sudden flare-ups of temper, which begin and end quickly and are soon forgotten—often with amazing “make-up” sex. Your warm, loveable nature makes you a unique prize well worth the effort. Because of your nature, your heart will heal fast.

Moon in TAURUS

Your emotional well-being is connected to your need for material security which is why you often attract wealth to your life. You’re always conscious of looking out for your own interests. You tend to be conservative, steady and dependable with a great deal of common sense in both domestic and financial matters. A stable domestic home life is essential to your emotional security. However, you have to be careful of your tendency to be stubborn, which can make it difficult for you to make changes in your emotional behavior. Your sensuous nature causes you to enjoy good food, great music, earthy sex, and all the material comforts of life and makes you extremely desirable to anyone who wants a great partner. Your heart knows what it wants and won’t settle for less.

Moon in GEMINI

You have the ability to be charming and quick-witted, as well as moody and irritable. You also have a tendency to vacillate emotionally and be rather superficial. People with this Moon position are often “chatter boxes,” capable of talking incessantly. You may be inclined to rationalize your emotions to the point where you don’t know how you feel inside. Your tendency to be nervous and restless and constantly on the move can result in becoming excited about doing “ten things at once,” but not finishing any of them. Because of your rational mind, you have a natural gift of thinking up practical solutions to domestic problems. But you can be so enchanting and delightful that anyone who likes variety will find you captivating. Your heart knows what it wants but is subject to change very quickly.

Moon in CANCER

You require tenderness, understanding and security. You have the capacity for real depth and intensity of emotions that gives you an almost “psychic” sensitivity to the feelings of others. Unfortunately, this can result in your being over-sensitive and hurt by imagining that you’ve been slighted - even if you haven’t. You are often focused on memories from your past, which can nurture you or plague you. You are likely to have a strong domestic side that expresses itself by being a great cook, homemaker or just very devoted to your family (especially your mother). Domestic security, having a home and partner are important for your emotional happiness. You are quite a catch for anyone who is tired of serial dating and wants to settle down. Your heart feels so deeply that it needs time to mend.

Moon in LEO

You’re a warm and emotionally proud person who seeks to be loved, admired and appreciated. With a flair for the dramatic, you like to entertain and be the center of attention. While dignified, you have a strong need for romance and affection. But there is a tendency for you to be self-centered and act like a diva (or king or queen, which of course you are). You can be quite stubborn and take it very personally when you’re criticized. Your need to love and be loved is an emotional drive that tends to give you an upbeat and sunny disposition. You enjoy creating a beautiful home and like to oversee and control your domestic environment. Your loving nature fills up the room and you know how to make the other person feel like a queen (or king). Your ego is connected to your heart and needs time to disengage and let go, especially because you are such a romantic.

Moon in VIRGO

You are kind and always helpful. But you are emotionally shy and retiring when it comes to expressing how you feel. One of your saving graces is that you enjoy being of service to others. Domestically, you are neat and clean in both your personal hygiene, and domestic environment. You are health-minded and pay attention to your diet and eating habits. You are a perfectionist who can be overly self critical of yourself or others. You spend a great deal of time worrying. You have to be careful of your tendency to be over-concerned with details instead of paying attention to the big picture. You are intellectually curious on matters of a more practical nature and enjoy doing tasks around the house. You are steady, dependable and loyal and know how serve your partner. You have a devoted heart, but the practical side of you will let you move on.

Moon in LIBRA

You have a deep emotional need to be in a relationship in order to feel complete. However, your strong sensitivity to the attitudes and reactions of others causes you to be easily influenced by them. Crudeness of any kind, such as vulgar language, turn you off. Any conflict that causes disharmony in your relationships is quite upsetting and can adversely affect how you physically feel. You are kind and courteous to others because your emotional well-being is contingent on the approval of the people you interact with. There is a warm, pleasing appeal in your countenance and manner. Domestically you favor places of beauty where you can socialize and entertain your friends. You are charismatic and have such class, charm and beauty that you won’t be alone for long. Your heart will re-awaken to love as you socialize with others.

Moon in SCORPIO

You seek out intimate relationships where you can experience emotional intensity. Consciously or unconsciously you put those you love through many tests to prove their worthiness of you. Unconsciously, you feel a need for your partner to give up something that proves their love for you. Once they do, you are loyal and protective in every way. However, your serious commitment to a relationship can lead to your becoming possessive, controlling or even jealous. If you are personally affronted or betrayed, you have a tendency to hold grudges (or even seek revenge). In a positive way, you have the ability to be a transforming force in your intimate relationships, which makes you someone unusual and in high demand. Because of your obsessive nature, once you love, your heart does not let go very easily.

Moon in SAGITTARIUS

You are optimistic and have a very idealistic emotional nature. Something inside you is drawn to travel, long journeys and even living in a foreign country (or even having a relationship with someone from another culture). But you need a great deal of personal freedom to explore and don’t like getting stuck in any routine too long. Heavy responsibilities can feel very restricting for you, causing you to want to escape. You enjoy philosophizing, discussing social values, the spiritual realm and even religion. You are someone of intellectual depth regardless of whether you finished high school or graduated Harvard. Anyone who loves fun and adventure will love your energy and the joy you will bring to their life. Because of your independent nature, you are able to move on from a failed love relationship.

Moon in CAPRICORN

There is a very responsible and dignified air about you. You are conservative and respect tradition. But you have an emotionally reserved and cautious nature that can come off as being cold. Behind closed doors, feeling more secure, you’re more likely to let go and let the “real you” come out. You are very serious and opportunistic, strongly identifying with material rather than spiritual values. One of your best qualities is that you’re ambitious and will work hard to achieve status, position and financial security. However, because you are driven toward seeking money and power, you may selfishly pursue your own interests. Fortunately, operating with honesty and integrity is important to you. Those looking for a serious relationship will value your great character, sense of loyalty and the security you provide. Once your heart let’s go, out of sight—out of mind.

Moon in AQUARIUS

You come off as detached, independent and a bit of a loner. However, you are emotionally intuitive and have a wonderful capacity to empathize with the needs of the world. Because friendship is one of your basic needs, you are friendly to all, in an impersonal way. Your home is an ideal place for group activities with your many friends. One of your biggest needs in a domestic relationship is the freedom to come and go without being restricted. You have a fear that emotional involvements will pose a threat to your personal liberty. But when your fears are assuaged, you are loving, fair, trustworthy and loyal. You offer the kind of unique style that can suddenly attract romance unexpectedly. Your heartbreak can be over as suddenly as your love began.

Moon in PISCES

You are very psychic and seem to know how things feel even if you’ve never actually experienced the actual event. Because of your compassionate nature, you are kind and sympathetic to the feelings of others. Your super sensitive emotional nature acts like a psychic sponge, soaking up the thoughts and feelings of those close to you. You can be shy and your feelings can easily be hurt, even when no slight was intended. You’re psychically vulnerable when you’re intimately involved with someone. The intensity of feelings you experience may be so great, you feel a need to withdraw into seclusion to protect yourself emotionally. You’re emotionally drawn to fantasy, especially where it concerns the romantic and ideal. This is why you are so bewitching and attractive to anyone looking for love. When you’re heart is broken you feel disappointment and delusion, requiring solitude and retreat to renew you.
