Moonchild Meaning – Literal Meaning vs. Spiritual

Before I knew anything about my own moon sign, I knew a person at work who always bragged about being a “real” moon child. Back then, as far as I knew, there were only sun signs or star signs of the zodiac. And, being a cool, peaceful Libra, I never bothered asking what the heck she was talking about.

Cancer – Ruled by Planet Moon

It wasn’t until years later, after I become intimately aware of my own lunar fingerprint, that I realized she meant: she was born somewhere between June 21 and July 22, making her a Cancerian.

Why are Cancerians Technically the Original Moon Children?

Every zodiac sign is said to have one ruling planet responsible for influencing the most private portions of our lives. Those born under the zodiac sign of Cancer are called moonchildren because their ruling planet is, in fact, the moon!

And, it’s the only zodiac sign to have the moon fully assigned as it’s ruling planet.

Note: Taurus has the moon in it’s awareness, but it’s not the same as having the moon as your ruling planet.

Only those born under Cancer can say they are ruled by the moon and therefore: my former co-worker was right…she was in fact, a real moonchild.

But….that was then and this is now. Today, moon signs are totally reshaping how we see ourselves connecting with the universe, largely because moon readings are uncomfortably accurate….like so accurate that you’ll definitely want to do them in private.

Moonchild Spiritual Meaning

In modern terms, if some random person calls you a “moonchild” it’s probably because they consider you a little bit mysterious. Depending on your mood, it may sound like a negative remark, but really, it’s not.

Whether we realize it or not, spiritually speaking, the term moonchild is deeply rooted in affection. Even if the person calling you a moonchild has no awareness of moon signs, it’s more than likely that they have a genuine fondness for you.

If a spiritual leader calls you a moonchild, that’s totally different. They likely see the influence of the moon in your life…even if you don’t.

They could also be referring to your willingness to explore vital truths about yourself, that exist far below the surface. If you’re always looking within yourself, moonchild is an accurate label you can be proud of!

What Does it Mean to be a Child of the Moon Today?

Today, Cancerians are not the only moonchildren. Lucky for us, they’re pretty good at sharing!

Being a child of the moon means you know there is a moon inside of you. You embrace, respect, appreciate the moon’s influence in the universe and the part she plays in your astrological fingerprint.

It doesn’t mean that you have all the answers, but rather, that you give pause and attention to the possibility of her immense power, guidance and influence.
