Among the best pieces of advice I got as I was still thinking about becoming a practicing astrologer was to use the power of my moon sign in establishing my practice. This means that you use your moon sign to gain insight into the kind of clients you’re likely to draw and to obtain valuable clues on the best ways to reach and serve these clients. Of course, there are also number of other factors you can consider, like the 7th, 10th, and 11th houses, their rulers and any planetary tenants in those houses, but that’s a different blog. This blog entry serves to help you consider who might be possible clients and how you might best reach them according to your moon sign. Needless to say, you have to know your own moon sign first! 
Moon in Aries:
As a child of Mars, you like and respect a sense of drive and edge to those around you, especially your clients. You’re likely to be counted among the more entrepreneurial of astrologers, coming up with innovative ways to reach people about astrology. You’re also likely to do extremely well with people who are pioneers or teeter on the edge themselves in business, like real estate agents, people in network marketing, and other entrepreneurs. Be direct, energetic and enthusiastic with potential clients about what you can do for them to keep them on the cutting edge and not the chopping block.
Moon in Taurus:
One striking aspect about you is that there’s something steady and reliable about you. This is very important as clients will welcome having someone in their lives who they can count on. You should definitely invest in creating a comfortable (yet cost-effective) place to greet clients as that’s one of your key gifts. You’re likely to be attractive to people who are either well established in life themselves or those who until recently had firmer roots that have become uprooted. So be attentive to homeowners, established business people, like bankers, and people who enjoy (and afford) haute cuisine and spirits.
Moon in Gemini:
You have a natural ability to multitask, so you might fare well with having multiple ventures happening at once, like writing a weekly blog, lining up speaking engagements, and keeping in touch with clients either by phone or newsletter on a regular basis. You like connecting with people, and you would do well to make your presence felt at networking and other social events. You will also be attractive to people who enjoy chatting or who have to talk to a lot of people frequently, so be sure to chat yourself up a little bit when you’re on the go at the market or even in line to pay your parking ticket. (You do like to go fast!)
Moon in Cancer:
You’re a born nurturer, and people will sense somehow that you care. You may find people trusting and opening up to you without solicitation. Be sure to take care of yourself as much as you spend time taking care of others, however. The people most drawn to you would include people who may also spend a great time taking care of others, like parents, people in the healthcare industry, and educators. You might also have an incredible memory, so you should consider using it in sessions as it also cements your reputation as someone who does care and takes the time to remember details.
Moon in Leo:
You have a sense of presence and importance that will make others seek you out. This doesn’t give you license not to market yourself, but you should realize that you shouldn’t “try” so hard to impress people. You can just do that naturally by being you. You somehow draw people who evidence a good amount of heart or courage in what they do, like artists or entrepreneurs. You might also be someone who edifies people who have lost their faith in life from recent traumatic experiences. If there is some way for you to take center stage, as either a speaker or teacher, you will find people drawn to you and what you have to say.
Moon in Virgo:
You have a sharp mind and a keen ability to analyze key details. You might find people come to figure out their priorities and to get some perspective on life. In fact, your sessions may help them to organize their thoughts. You may be quite meticulous also in your astrological analyses, so you must be careful not to inundate your clients with too much information. However, if you give just enough information (leaving out astro-jargon), your clients will feel like they have an efficiency expert to help them live better. You naturally may draw people in business or who keep their lives cluttered with too much information. This means you could benefit from some low-cost advertising in local publications.
Moon in Libra:
In you, a client finds a partner who actively listens and can level a judgment informed by the stars. This means that some of your natural tendencies to weigh lots of options will have to be honed before your sessions with clients. In fact, you may find people come to you when they’re at their wit’s end and may look to you to make decisions for them. Don’t make the decisions for them, but you can clearly inform them of the options and what’s in their favor. You may find your best clients are people who thrive on conversation, like Gemini, but may be a little more emotionally intense. You might also think about a specialization in synastry, i.e. relationship astrology.
Moon in Scorpio:
You more than most other moon signs should choose your clients with care. You’re not for the casual passerby in astrology. You can usually perceive deeply and forthrightly into people’s issues and some people aren’t ready for that. Those who are more likely to benefit from your services are people who are looking to change their lives, either by therapy or rehabilitation, or who have had their lives changed for them by recent traumatic life experiences, like war or some other brush with death. You may have gone through some “dark nights of the soul” yourself, so you know quite a bit about retrieving meaningful messages from the heavens for people in need of Light. You might consider partnering with agencies, therapists, and health practitioners open to your services.
Moon in Sagittarius:
People can count on you to tell it like it “T.I. Is,” as some old folks used to say. You also exude a sense of adventure and worldly wisdom that can reach a broad cross-section of people. As a child of Jupiter, it’ll be helpful to use a fair amount of humor as to be sure you’re not taking yourself and your astrological work too seriously. Laughter is a balm for the soul, just as much as a soothing voice. As a social person, you’d do well to meet people who enjoy having a good time, talking and laughing, like private parties, comedy clubs, salons or a new age lecture where you can share your own pithy wisdom and wit.
Moon in Capricorn:
Often people don’t know what they want, even from moment to moment. You’re someone who can help them focus on goals and astrological timing for goals. At times in your life, you may have appeared as an underachiever, but you truly are an overachiever. It’s just a matter of you finding the right time and activity that excites you. If astrology is it, you will be very attractive to “A” types and overachievers. They’ll like your no-frills, business-like demeanor, and they’ll benefit from your insistence to bring the very best out of them. You actually could make a terrific resource for life-coaches as well.
Moon in Aquarius:
You possibly enjoy the philosophical beauty of astrology, i.e. we are all connected. This suggests that the World Wide Web is one place where you could concentrate your efforts, as nothing is more analogous to this philosophy as that. There is a no-frills sensibility to you too, as a child of Saturn and Uranus; however, you’re less focused on achievement and more interested in reaching people who somehow don’t fit in, like hipsters, hippies, and other people who somehow walk along the edge of society.
Moon in Pisces:
Your compassionate imagination is probably among the most powerful in the Zodiac. If you really let the astrological symbols speak to you, they will tell a story where they only speak a few messages to most. Your empathic insight may provide you with a clue as to who’s attracted to your services. You’d also do well to work in partnership with other healthcare professionals, like naturopathic doctors, chiropractors, psychotherapists open to spirituality, and even a few spas as your compassion could complement the soothing and healing work they do.
