When someone asks your astrology sign, they are asking for your sun sign. There is a lot more to your astrological makeup than your sun sign!

Many people don't believe they fit into the stereotype of their astrological sign. This is due to the fact that there's a lot more in play than just your sun sign.

Your sun sign is based off of your date of birth. Your moon sign is determined by not only your date of birth, but also by the time and location of your birth. Another difference between your sun and moon sign is that, while your sun sign denotes your astrological personality, your moon sign denotes your inner moods and emotions. The two work hand-in-hand to compose your emotional makeup.

You can find out your full birth chart on any astrological calculator, easily found online. All astrological complexes use the same terminology as the sun signs. Here is the breakdown of what each moon sign typically means:

1. Aquarius Moon Sign

You strive off of friendship, and you need a common cause in your life and in your relationships.

2. Pisces Moon Sign

You need fantasy, compassion, and creativity in all aspects of your life.

3. Aries Moon Sign

You like challenges and action. You often need to be the "first" to do something.

4. Taurus Moon Sign

You need stability, both emotionally and physically.

5. Gemini Moon Sign

You need constant communication from everyone in your social circle. You often get bored if conversations aren't stimulating.

6. Cancer Moon Sign

You require safety and seek comfort. You can seek comfort in certain foods, surroundings, or comfy clothes.

7. Leo Moon Sign

You are constantly thriving for attention and affection. You love glamour and the more materialistic things to show off in social situations.

8. Virgo Moon Sign

You are much like Gemini when it comes to stimulating conversations; the difference is that you need to feel as if you helpful to all.

9. Libra Moon Sign

Your surroundings need to be in harmony and contain beauty. You are a very aesthetically-inclined person.

10. Scorpio Moon Sign

You are more of a private person. You are also constantly searching to be apart of a "power-duo" relationship.

You constantly seek adventure in even the smallest tasks. You also try to surround yourself with variety in many aspects.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends.

There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
