Your habits of comfort
The Moon describes your habits of comfort: what you reach for when you’re worn out, how you act when your feelings are hurt, what a house has to have before it feels like yours. Much of it was learned early and runs without much thought, so people often can’t explain it until someone does it differently.
It’s also the fastest mover in a chart, changing sign every two and a half days or so. Without a birth time, the exact position can’t be pinned down. The app marks an unknown-time Moon as approximate and can leave its aspects out when two charts are compared.
Why it matters so much between two people
In a MatchMachine report, the Emotional area is tied to the Moon. A contact here tends to show whether your needs make sense to each other without a lot of explaining. If your way of being looked after is a long talk and theirs is being left alone with a sandwich, you can love each other a great deal and still get it wrong every time.
Easy Moon contacts, like Moon trine Venus, often feel like relief. Harder ones, like Moon square Mars, can feel like someone walking through your feelings in boots, usually with no idea they’re doing it.
How to use this
Look up both Moon signs in the Moon signs series and compare what each of you does when upset. Then say it out loud on a calm day: “When I go quiet, here’s what that means, and here’s what helps.” It takes two minutes, and it can save you a very long weekend.
