Answer:

Juilet doesn't want Romeo to swear his love by the moon becuase she believes the moon is always changing and she wants something permenat

Step-by-step explanation:

Romeo. Lady, by yonder blessed moon I swear

That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops,—

Juliet. O! swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon,

That monthly changes in her circled orb,

Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.
