Here's what you need to know about each moon sign:
Aries
Aries moons are known for their impulsive behavior, says Aliza Kellyof Allure. Coupled with their need for excitement or victory, they’re always looking for a spontaneous adventure, which can be easy to satiate since they’re famous for knowing what they want. However, they are also known to have a shorter fuse, but the good news is that they get over it as quickly as the feeling comes. Aries moons work well with air suns.

Unlike the fiery, energetic nature of the previous sign, Taurus moons value sensuality above all else—indulgent food and drink, comfortable environments, and any way to express their luxurious tastes, according to Allure. They love stability and tradition, which means they much prefer sticking to what’s tried and tested than exploring something new. These traits make Taurus moons a perfect match for sometimes volatile water suns.

Ruled by Mercury, Gemini moons can be unpredictable and temperamental. According to Allure, they express themselves best through facts and information, making communication a vital part of their internal processing. They thrive when they socialize, which also means they must always have an attentive audience. For this reason, Gemini moons work best with intellectual air suns or charismatic fire suns.
Cancer
The moon is at home in Cancer, which means this is where the placement shines best. Cancer moons are extremely intuitive and know how to vibe-check their surroundings. However, their emotions fluctuate just as much as the moon changes phases, so Cancer moons require stability, security, and safety, which can be found in a tight-knit group of close friends and family members. An earth sign also adds balance to this placement.
