HOROSCOPE
While the moon is the ruling planet of your sign, because you are born in the third Decan, or part, of the sign, you also are subject to the planetary influence of Neptune. This planetary combination contributes a double dose of sensitivity and compassion, as Neptune shares in the same emotional nature as the moon. However, Neptune’s influence does introduce aspects of spirituality and imagination as well. As a result, you are a highly romantic and culturally inclined individual. You are greatly excited by the novelty of romance and have high expectation from your romantic partners. While this may temporarily lead to disappointment when reality does not meet expectations, your optimism can quickly remedy the situation. Your imagination is one of your greatest assets, but be weary that too much time in fantasy can lead to a disconnect with reality.
