Moon SIgns: The Key to Your Inner Life

I thought Donna's book on the Moon signs was interesting to read. I like her style of writing well enough to recommend the book to others.

Very thorough

This is a great book on the astrological Moon and one of the most thorough ones I have read so far. The Moon in astrology dominates your emotions, instincts, intuition, your private needs and automatic emotional responses. It is therefore one of the most important aspects in the birth chart, that alters how the sun sign is felt and expressed. In this book Cunningham first explains in detail what the moon represents astrologically and how it affects us. Then, the book is divided in 3 parts: For the First Part, one doesn't need to know their Moon sign. Here, the author guides you through the process of following the Moon through its monthly path around the zodiac, as well as its yearly path of the New and Full Moons. By understanding and using the Moon's monthly and yearly path, (what Cunningham calls "Emotional Weather"), one can observe its daily changes and monthly cycles, and understand how it affects them. In the Second Part, she interprets the twelve Moon signs in the birth chart, as well as the lunar phase at your birth. Long appendices and tables are included where you can find out what your Moon sign is, or what phase the Moon was at your birth. There is also a general and very helpful chapter here on how each rising sign and each house modify the birth moon, but she doesn't get in detail on specific moon-rising sign combinations, or moon-house combinations. Finally, the Third Part deals with how men and women in each moon sign react in relationships. She also provides general guidelines on the compatibility of different moon placements, based on Jung's research. My favorite chapter here is one that talks about "lunar burnout" (which is what happens to you when you ignore your needs as expressed by the condition of your moon) and how you can best nurture yourself according to your moon sign. Just to make it clear, this book does not cover specific sun sign - moon sign combinations, specific rising sign - moon sign combinations or interpretations for house placements for each of the moon signs. If you want something like that, I would recommend Charles Harvey's "Sun Sign-Moon Sign" for sun-moon combinations, but I haven't read any good books on ascendant-moon combinations. And...I can't help but nag that this book is only available in mass market paperback, which means you really aren't getting a good quality publication. But the content is so good I couldn't bring myself to take out any stars over this. This really is a great book on the Moon, informative and very, very thorough. Donna Cunningham's writing style is not heavy, not boring and really fun to read.

A Must Have For Your Astrology Library

A great book, after reading it, I reference it all the time when I need to get a better understanding of someone. The only drawback, is that you need their full birthdate. But this book is wonderful.
