In astrology, we have the main triad, which are the Sun, Moon, and Rising. These are considered the basic foundation for your personality and who you are, with the Sun ruling your true self and the Rising ruling your outer self. The Moon rules your emotional self, and shows how you emotionally react to situations, and what you need for emotional stability and security. This is shown via the Zodiac sign your natal Moon falls in, and the natal house it resides in, and it's impacted by the aspects it makes to your other natal bodies. Being Upset Triggers Your Moon Sign
So, what can trigger you displaying your Moon sign? The first is when you're upset about something. When you're upset, you lean right into your natal Moon sign, and that can take over in many ways from your natal Sun.
Remember that the Moon is how you emotionally react, so when you're emotionally upset, you tend to react via your Moon sign. When you're upset, you're more likely to manifest the difficult, challenging, or outright bad manifestations of your Moon sign. Every position in astrology has a high (positive) and low (negative) way of manifesting itself, so when you're upset, you may lean into the low vibes. Being Happy Triggers Your Moon Sign
The second is when you're happy about something. How you emotionally react to something when you're happy can be found via your Moon sign. This is just the reverse of when you're upset about something.
When you're upset about something, you're more likely to show the bad sides to your Moon sign, but when you're happy about something, you're more likely to show the good sides or higher vibration to your Moon sign. Operating Unconsciously Triggers Your Moon Sign
The Moon has an unconscious element to it. The conscious is the Sun, Mercury, and Rising, and they are deliberate and focused. The Moon is more like Neptune, the planet of the subconscious, and doesn't usually operate when you're thinking about it.
Your Moon sign can come out when you're operating unconsciously, or more like, from a primal place. The Moon connects with our internal foundation, our family and heritage, so it connects with the humans back in the days when we were living outside and grunted a lot, ha. But when you tap into that primal aspect of yourself, you're more than likely going to tap into your Moon sign. Being Comfortable Triggers Your Moon Sign
The Moon rules comfort and familiarity and support, so when you're feeling comfortable, supported, and not in unfamiliar territory, you can manifest your Moon sign, especially the higher vibes. Confusion can trigger your Moon sign as well, but more in the lower vibes.
You can feel free to express yourself emotionally when you have the comfort and support you need. This allows you to step into your Moon sign energy. A Note About the High and Low Vibes
I do want to clarify there is no such thing as "good" or "bad" emotions - what makes them good or bad is our actions. This is where the high and low vibes come in. When we're manifesting the low vibes of our Moon sign, we're emotionally reacting negatively, and this is shown via our actions. We're lashing out, we're irrational, we're out of control, we're unleashing, and we're causing harm.
When we're manifesting the high vibes of our Moon sign, we're emotionally reacting positively and/or productively. We're using the beneficial side of our Moon sign to our advantage, and this can happen naturally. Suggested Reading: Strengthen Intuition With Emotional Security 
In astrology, there are 12 houses in a standard chart, and each house rules different parts of life and our personalities, and has its own energy. The twelfth house is the very last house, and is the house of the hidden. If we have any planets or bodies located in our natal twelfth house, that energy is consciously hidden from us, and when we have transit planets and bodies going through the twelfth house, their energy is also hidden. So when do we actually operate with our twelfth house energy? It's really 3 ways: 1: You're Operating Subconsciously and Intuitively
The twelfth house rules the subconscious mind, and it's not an area we're super consciously aware of most of the time, so we tend to tap into it when we're not consciously operating, and instead are acting on instinct and being driven by our subconscious.
This takes the conscious mind out of it, and we can tap into the subconscious and our intuitive selves. These are parts of ourselves we're often not aware of when they're taking over, and we're quick to act with them. People who have natal bodies in the twelfth house, especially the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, or Ceres, tend to have excellent instincts, and when they're just going with their gut instincts, they tend to do well. The problem is they usually don't trust themselves, and have to get out of their own heads in order to fully utilize their killer instincts. The more subconscious baggage we have, the more the twelfth house can manifest another of its rulerships: self-undoing. The twelfth house is where we sabotage ourselves and get in our own way, and this can manifest subconsciously if we're just shoving away that baggage in there and ignoring it. As we work through our subconscious baggage, this helps us manifest the twelfth house energy in a more positive, productive way, and when we act on our instincts and are driven subconsciously, this can become more beneficial for us. 2: You're With People You Know Really, Really Well
The twelfth house is the house of the hidden, so we generally don't show any of the energy there when we're in public, when we're with strangers, or in social situations. Instead, it can come out when we're not so guarded, and that usually means with those who we know super well and are really comfortable with.
This is kind of gated energy in our personalities, if you will. A select few see this side to ourselves. It can take a long time before we allow someone new to enter this house. This is partly conscious, as we're more guarded with new people, and consciously throw up blocks to protect ourselves. Once we start pulling the walls down, it's safer for the subconscious to come out, and we can become more 12th-house-ian. 3: You're Out of the Spotlight
The twelfth house doesn't want any attention. It wants to exist in the shadows, in the background, behind the scenes. So, we tend to display our twelfth house energy when we're not getting attention from others, when we're not putting ourselves out there, when we're not showcasing anything.
Instead, it comes out best when we're actually alone. Yes, being with those we're super comfortable with can also allow the twelfth house energy to come out, but we often fully don't use it until we're alone. It's just me, myself, and I, and my twelfth house! We all tend to behave a little differently when we're alone than when we're with any people, even those we know very well. Solitude and alone-time is pure twelfth house time. Suggested Reading: All About the Twelfth House in Astrology |
