In astrology, the moon sign shows how we perceive our mother. It can show what the relationship was like and how we received nurturing. If you lost your mother at a young age, you would want to look at the personality traits of the female influence in your life and who provided that nurturing in childhood.
Below is how each moon sign experiences their mother figure.
Aries Moon: The mother appeared confident, independent, assertive, selfish, and self-centered. She focused on her own goals and desires. She might have been dominant, short-tempered, and impulsive.
Taurus Moon: The mother appeared calm, patient, affectionate, steady, and strong-willed. You might have felt she wanted things done her way and was resistant to change. Material things were important as well as attaining financial security.
Gemini Moon: The mother appeared friendly, talkative, intelligent, and restless. You might have felt she was always on the move, and not patient enough to really listen to your problems. Talking was the way she showed love and providing learning opportunities.
Cancer Moon: The mother appeared caring, affectionate, over-protective, and controlling. She stressed about your health and well-being. A homebody at heart, she enjoyed taking care of the home and family.
Leo Moon: The mother appeared charming, social, happy, and generous. You might have seen her always as the center of attention, playful, having fun. She might have encouraged your self-expression, musical interests, and artistic talents.
Virgo Moon: The mother appeared to be high-strung, perfectionist, giving, detail-focused, hard-working, and talkative. You might have felt like you were never good enough in her eyes. Her high standards created a need for routine, structure, and order.

Wow this is very accurate! I have Aquarius Moon and my mother really was aloof and detached with me. I never really felt that she loved me, no affection either as a child from her.
My son has a Gemini Moon and it really does sound like me too!
