Moon Signs

[sadique]

Hi lovelies. I would like to know all your moon signs and
a)How much of an influence they have on your personality
b)Do others sense these characteristics in you
c)Does it affect your attraction to others
d)Placement in progression chart

I am a Leo moon and despite not having any confidence (Saturn rising) I have illusions of grandeur. SDometimes I think I'm too good for this earth (I know right, pride is a mofo)

I think it effects me introvertly as no one knows how creative I am but it's a major part of my psyche

I adore Leo's, I think they are soo cool (Edward Norton) even though I only know like 3 personally.

I will be a Virgo moon soon (eugh):wink:

[Still thinking]

As per western my moon sign is leo but as per vedic astrology my moon sign is cancer.cancer suits me better.

[byjove]

Hi there!

I've Moon in Virgo (Cancer rising, so the Moon is stronger than normal because Cancer rising brings it to the front seat ). Family tell me that they see the Virgo Moon from a mile away. I'm known for the good and the bad; perfectionism, critical, analytical, hygiene-freak, I can over-think things, and I do worry incessantly about things sometimes...and when I'm worried, my stomach becomes delicate...and I simply don't eat until I'm calm again. So I've taken to Buddha Bar (calming oriental music) and camomile tea on such occasions!

My Virgo Moon is opposite my Pisces Venus, which adds an entirely different part to my character, and the Moon also squares Saturn, creating a T-square. Transiting Saturn conjunction my natal Moon was the worst transit ever a few years ago. :smile:

[byjove]

Hey ImNot,

I wonder do you swerve from intellectual to emotional in a big way? Something similar to Moon in Gemini? But, judging from how you express yourself here, I'd say mostly sticking to intellectualism. :sideways: In most house systems, my Moon in the 3rd of Virgo. Left brain, right brain, left...

[brooke24]

oh Byjove you are still a LEO MOON - despite that Saturn rising influence!!
:) Somehow I am not surprised you have a Leo moon - and that ties in with your question!

I have a libran moon and its the best fit for my personality. EVERYTHING about Libra moon is true for me - sometimes you see other signs that don't quite fit you and its most likely due to influences of something else in the chart. And yes whenever the 'star sign' discussion has cropped up with people - they always think i am a Libra. It colors me deeply. And its ironic as i do not come across as my rising sign but rather my moon sign.
Attraction to others? - i am attracted to refined, sophisticated, classy types - guys and girls. I really dislike rough types who swear, have little intellect and dirty humor. And the progressed moon is in virgo ..:)

...Who, what, where?! Is that a trick question?! Tropical/Siddereal?! I've natal Virgo Moon and Cancer rising (Saturn no where near ASC) ... (scratches head to figure out what she meant :sideways::sideways::sideways:) I will trade you for your Libran Moon, or I'll take a Leo Moon if there's any in stock. Maybe you won't take my Moon...how about a Venus in Pisces? She's very popular, and I'll trade for a good price! lol.

I think you're referring to the thread-starter, Sadique?

[brooke24]

Oh sorry Byjove !!
I read the WRONG thread thinking you wrote it!! haha (the one above yours).
Well Virgo moon admittedly is not my favorite..however every Virgo moon person I've met has a superior intellect. Are you Virgo moon in Sidereal??

I am still Libra moon in sidereal..only at 4 degrees...so no Virgo for me :( !
I am Pisces sun (instead of aries) in sidereal with Aquarius rising/mercury etc..I am really not sure about sidereal..seems like both sidereal and tropical are accurate in their own ways.

Based purely on my opinion from many people I've met ..masculine moon people generally seem more 'out there', more liberal, more fun loving overall. All my friends are masculine moons..accept for two cappie moons!

I have never met a libra or leo moon person who was NOT glamorous or really charismatic in some way. Libra moons are always so lovely,sweet and gracious and Leo moons are stronger characters but much more endearing than sag or Aries moon types..who tend to be sarcastic, loud and lack refinement.

So overall I'm going with Leo, Libra, Taurus, Aquarius for the best moons..these people seem to be the friendliest, most accommodating people. Taurus moon in a different way..more conservative/quiet..but ever so endearing and placid.

Virgo moon I'm still on the fence..do you have trouble expressing your emotions? I know two girls with this moon and they are both extremely reserved, cautious ..fairly timid, but ever so polite.

[Rebel Uranian]

I have a Cancer moon but it's contra-parallel Uranus, so it's basically the same thing as having an Aqua moon I think, except even more tense/energized, just not in the actual zodiac degree. I think other people can tell this more easily than even I can. I'm almost always very sociable (except in scenarios/school where my 3rd house Saturn takes over.) Today I was in a huge room, and I was "wandering," and before I realized that I even wandered all the way over to a random group I was asking if I could use someone's iPad (I'm poor and can't afford any tech stuff even though I seem to be subconsciously obsessed with it.) One time there was this new kid and he was black and nobody seemed to like him (probably because of this) and he said he was sad because he had no friends and I declared myself his friend before I even fully realized. People think I'm a nonconformist or I secretly want to join the Peace Corps. when I'm not even trying to be rebellious or humanitarian. OK, I have a bunch of other Aqua. My mom said something along the lines of for the first few years of my life I wasn't even aware that people had emotions (I'll blame this on the heavy Air influence.) Sometimes I wish I did just have the straight up Cancer moon...

[lazarusx]

1st House Gemini Moon/Mercury/Jupiter conjunction.


a)How much of an influence they have on your personality

Huge influence; i feel 'everything' and im extremely sensitive to my environment, fortunately due to the conjunction i'm never to overwhelmed by my emotions.. but i love nothing more then expressing them through music and dancing.


b)Do others sense these characteristics in you

I would say yes; having my Moon in the first house it's hard for me to hide my emotions.. im very facially expressive, i actually find communicating through facial expressions conveys how i feel better then words ever could, i also use my hands alot when im talking to people..


c)Does it affect your attraction to others

Other's have viewed me as detached due to the heavy Gemini influence (All planets are in the Aquarius decan), which i feel also inhibits the flow of emotion; i can swing between deep emotion to cold rationality and that confuses some people. I've been trying to find a stable balance for years.


d)Placement in progression chart


My progressed Moon is currently in Aries, along with my progressed Sun in Leo.. so there's a lot of fiery attributes arising lately.

Cancer moon will always been cancer moon even with contra parallel (suggesting opposition aspect) Do you worry? see cancer and virgo are what I call the two worriers of the zodiac. Are you close to mum? family members? do you like antiques, geneology? are you bit sulky/moody? The opp aspect does not hold tension like the conj or square. What other aspects does moon have?

Hello, Jove. How are you doing?


I was about to finish my reply to this post when I made an err, and as a result the whole thing was expunged. Here are the brass tacks:

I had wrote something to the effect of there not being a conflict between the Moon & Mercury, as with this conjunction both are fruitfully combined rather than pitted as contending forces. Naturally my expression here is not identical to my expression in human form. We are merely shadows of ourselves when writing here, as few write as they speak. At friendly close quarters, it would be impracticable to speak with the formality that is of use writing here.
Those with the Moon in Gemini I have known have not had that burden of oscillation between emotion and intellect, their caprice being for the most part in the sphere of the intellect. Actually, I do not know one with this moon who is overly emotional. Though that reflects more my narrow exposure than an omnipresent fact of being.
By intellectualism do you mean only the use of the intellect, or is this some elect of philosophical persons? 0_o

In regard again to the Moon-Mercury conjunction, I still cannot think of any time in which I thought both forces were at odds.
I have many tensile aspects from Pluto, so although I am by norms in good humour, I can be dire in the loss of temper. And rage itself is an emotion, and not a part of the intellect per se. So I would say in the best possible scenario, a fruitful blending of both, or, in changing cases, either the extreme of intellect or the extreme of emotion. But when they do come as one, it is an harmonious union.

What I do notice of the conjunction is that it is difficult to speak purely out of emotion. Usually the speech is of the intellect oriented upon the emotion felt intensely, but before the time of articulation. In order to actually voice the emotion that must perforce be lent voice, there must be some dissociation from the emotion, if temporarily, to actually impart an accurate picture of its state before returning. I am afraid this might be slightly obscure. To illustrate, it is like being confronted with an alien language. It is at once incomprehensible, but if we move away from the language to a source of translation- a dictionary, say - it becomes clear for us, and then we return to the original language in clear terms. Some people mistake that for insincerity. When in the thrall of an intense emotion, rage or sorrow and otherwise, a stone weighs down the clear-speaking tongue, so the language of the intellect becomes obsolete, a mutual exclusion in a way.


Does the Moon, then, affect right- or left-brainedness?
And I sometimes wonder if the Moon-Mercury conjunction played any part in my being left-handed...

I would think that the third house accentuates the natural qualities of your Moon in Virgo.

[Rebel Uranian]

Cancer moon will always been cancer moon even with contra parallel (suggesting opposition aspect) Do you worry? see cancer and virgo are what I call the two worriers of the zodiac. Are you close to mum? family members? do you like antiques, geneology? are you bit sulky/moody? The opp aspect does not hold tension like the conj or square. What other aspects does moon have?

I don't worry, I'm a little distant from family members (especially my mom, who I can't communicate with because I tend to be rational about everything and she tends to just feel everything), I think antiques and genealogy are boring, and I'm not sulky or moody. The only other aspects the Moon has are a square to Mars, a square to Saturn, and an opposition from Mercury. Would that be enough? I still can't identify with Cancer Moon one bit :/

Well with these other aspects will seriously alter your moon's expressions.
Moon square mars = bossy mother
Moon square saturn = able to endure financial hardships, emotionally slow, cautious, reserved.
Moon opp mercury - do you have any sleep problems at all? just a bit of research, as I've seen hard aspects with these two seem to suggest problems.....
moon opp (contr para) uranus is early break with mother, relationships and on my divorce list...

[Rebel Uranian]

I have sleep problems. I have so many problems right now that I want to see a psychologist but between the financial issues and the fact that my parents want to think I'm perfect that's not happening. The last aspect sounds nice as of now, not all of it but part of it, because I want to leave my family, never ever come back, and not even bother starting a new family because every family is exactly the same and that's the point: familiarity, which = routine/same-old same-old which = :sleeping:. Also, I think the Moon would also be contra-parallel the Sun...

I think your family is what YOU create it to be when you have made the break. I have moon square uranus and left home on my 16th birthday....never looked back..

[MJ82]

I'm a Libra moon (8th house) and I definitely think it's left its mark on me. I am very (too?) diplomatic sometimes, though I will take a position on serious issues, personal or otherwise. I also have a Libra stellium, so I'm sure it is noticeable.

I don think my rising sign (Aquarius) is very present in my personality as well though, but that may be because I also have Mercury in Aquarius in the 1st house and Venus there... :wink:

[Rebel Uranian]

_If_ I ever decide to, I'll make it much better than mine was. The amount of hard aspects to my Moon is insane. It's the same with my brother's Moon (which I am a little jealous of if you have seen his chart because it is in Aquarius, except it's square Mars in Scorpio) so it's at least we all got treated almost equally...

Edit: Should I consider myself an honorary Cap moon or what else?

[MJ82]

*do think* - jeez I can't spell today...

I'm 1' Aquarius rising. do you talk a lot? when you talk about a topic you 'should' know it inside out and can talk with authority. do you like freedom and independence? of course it willl add a stubborn streak :smile:

[MJ82]

Yes yes and yes! :lol:

[astrologer50]

Yes yes and yes! :lol:

so how can you say it's not visible or working for you

[MJ82]

It was a typo in my last to post, I didn't mean to write "I don" which would obviously be read as "don't", I meant I DO think it is visible :wink:

[foreverinashes]

Hi,
I'm a Pisces Moon (also Sun and Rising in the two other water signs, how great). I'm an 'acclaimed' ball of nervous, effusive emotionality. I'm quite empathic, highly intuitive, love to help people with their emotional sufferings, can be extremely caring but only with those I trust (I'm mistrustful because of my Scorpio Sun), also imaginative. I absolutely love writing, listening to ethereal/shoegaze/ambient/post rock/dubstep music and dancing. I may easily be brought to tears. Strange, sometimes I very much hate myself for this, since as a Scorpio I aim to hide my inner world as well as possible. I'm a true dreamer, also some twisted kind of a martyr. If I fall in love (which is not very often) I would do anything and everything for that person to be happy. Um, and I tend to suffer a lot (I'm a triple water after all, ugh) and to be an escapist.
Others usually do not notice these characteristics unless they are really close relatives/friends etc.
In most cases I'm attracted to people with strong Plutonian influence, so I guess my Pisces Moon does not take much part in that department.
My progressed Moon is in Leo, and hell do I recognize the greater need to be noticed.

[LovelyMissAries]

Hi lovelies. I would like to know all your moon signs and
a)How much of an influence they have on your personality
b)Do others sense these characteristics in you
c)Does it affect your attraction to others
d)Placement in progression chart


My moon sign: Taurus

a) I think it has a lot of influence actually. It's hard to define but I think Taurus and Aries are so similar in personality already that I probably come off like a Mega Aries. However, there's not a whole lot that upsets me except... distractions, sudden changes (but not change in general i.e. moving out of states, change of environment, etc.), ill-mannered people, and things that are itchy. I'm a huge texture freak when it comes to clothes! It adds an extra pound of stubbornness to my Aries stellium, I think. And it takes me a lonnnnnng time to truly let go of someone I once cared about. When I allow people into my "world", I assume they'll be there forever. I get told that I'm sweet a lot, I don't know where that comes from though.

b) Yes, others who know me sense this. I probably come off like nothing bothers me to those who don't but I don't know if that Taurus moon so much as my Gemini rising. My parents and best friends know how deeply my feelings run. It's similar to a Scorpios but lacking the same intensity/passion.

c) I would think so. I mean, aspects play a part in how the Moon is portrayed but overall I find I respect (re: in Taurus moon lingo this means fall head over heels for) responsible people. I tend to just LUST after Capricorns even though it's said Aries and Capricorns aren't a good match. I also don't like to be rushed, so I'm attracted to people that aren't pushy (no fire signs unfortunately). I also tend to watch I mean observe the object of my affections for a long time before getting the courage to approach them. I'm also old fashioned and think the guy should pursue me.

d) My progressed moon in Aquarius is near the 8th house cusp, my natal moon in Taurus is in the 12th house.

Imnotthere what house does your moon fall in?

[ImNotThere9]

Imnotthere what house does your moon fall in?


Fifth house, as ruler of my Midheaven.

[sadique]

Hello.

I have been looked upon as a marmoreal character upon occasion, singular, aloof, moony, of a quicksilver temperament at times, and at times cold and remote.
What I find most troublesome is the detachment. Having the presence of mind in a crisis is fine, and I am glad to have it for the most part. But I seldom leave a conversation without disappointment on thinking back upon how it went. Whereas in everyday life I may be at two removes from a person if I feel they will not strain to understand me, when it comes to speaking with one by whom I feel a slight discomfiture, a person in whose presence I feel I must show myself much better than I am, I seem to grow a world apart. It is realized, always, in hindsight. I might when speaking with that person have been staring at a scene in the window, or at some vague thought hovering above that person's head. And that is cause for their own discomfort, I think, perhaps believing it indifference on my part. It is an odd tendency and one I have been trying to resolve.


I'm a beginner so I could be talking poo! but your aloof attitude makes me think your moon in fifth house conjunct mercury makes you unable to relate on a deeply personal level. It seems like you could have a restless mind and enjoy numerous fun connections as opposed to deep personal ones. I think of a child that approaches a new playmate and as soon as he has gained the attention of the new buddy is looking over their shoulder for another prospect, only realising after that he may have been rude. what say you?

[ImNotThere9]

At the risk of appearing to deny your interpretation on account of its slightly unbecoming nature, I would say nay. This has not been the case I'm afraid. Good interpretation nonetheless, and correct on some points. Though christening one a friend should not be such a flighty matter as there proposed. It takes some time, but once done is not simply broken.

[kimbermoon]

My moon is in Pisces and configured in a Grand Trine with Saturn in Scorpio and a conjunct of Sun and Jupiter in Cancer. It has taken me many years to figure out what that is all about! Sensitive, imaginative, intuitive and psychic. I have always thought that I was living on some different planet than others. In youth I was very shy, vulnerable and emotional and people liked to tease me a lot.


This is a very strong component of my personality as I have a deep inner need for 'being understood' [which has caused many misunderstandings in my life] yet I have been told that I am too profound and intense[with Saturn in water as well]. It has affected my attraction to others because I am a die-hard romantic and creative at the same time. I looked for someone I could relate to on a spiritual level because of my mystical leanings. I also have a deep appreciation of music and the arts. My progressed Moon is in Aries.

[virgo18]

For western my Moon is Taurus, and for Vedic my Moon is Aries...

I have nothing related to Moon in Aries. I am a pure Moon in Taurus.


I have two scary oppositions to Venus and Pluto in Scorpio, but I have lots of trines to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, that neutralize my moodiness. "Sometimes" :D

[k.e.r]

My natal moon is in Taurus, 12th house. Conjunct Ascendant and Mars, opposite Saturn. My progressed moon is in the 12th house and Taurus, moving out of orb with a 12th house Mercury (Taurus) conjunction. Middle decan Taurus at present. My emotional nature is very complex. I am fond of solitude, spend a lot of time alone and it takes effort for me to connect with others on an emotional level. I keep people at an arms length and I have a lot of acquaintances but I have fears about letting people get too close. I have been commitment-phobic for most of my life- I am 26 and I have only had one relationship of substance (discounting short-term/flash in the pan kind of relationships) which I ended. I suffered from anorexia for about seven years, I have had a drug addiction and I still struggle with eating-disorder/restrictive tendencies and it's a battle. I'm not even aware of my own emotions a lot of the time and they can manifest through panic and anxiety attacks (unconsciously).

I find myself trying to hide my emotions a lot and I struggle to meet my own emotional needs. I hide my emotions from others (publicly) due to a combination of paranoia and shame. It takes a while for me to trust people. I have a lot of unfinished emotional business from past lives. I am extremely psychic and empathic. I also have a 12th house Taurus sun opposite Pluto. I have been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and psychosis is a negative manifestation of my 12th house moon. I slip into the 12th house really easily and I am blind to my Taurus traits. I've never really identified with Taurus that much.

Now, I'm not sure how others perceive me. I feel other people's emotions intensely and there is a thin line between what others are feeling and what I am feeling, and it's easy for me to confuse my emotions with others. E.g. I might become severely anxious/depressed/upset and then after a while I realise it's not me, I've picked it up from somewhere else. Going back to relationships and attractions, I tend to only form deep attractions with people I have had past lives with. I have an empathic relationship at the moment which is causing me a lot of confusion and we have been apart for some time but I still pick up on a lot of emotions coming from him. Sorry about the long-winded response! As I said my emotional nature is complex :p

[moonwillow]

Sun Cancer
moon Capricorn
scorp rising
As I get older, I tend to relate more to my Moon in Capricorn. Interestingly, although I have always attracted mostly plutonion folk, lately, I have found that I now have come to relate more to airy folk more these days. I have just started to notice those people I reasonate well with these days tend to be those in the Air signs, must be my venus and mars in gemini, I find these new found relationships and the interaction easy and fun, light hearted.

Before, it was always Scorpio, Capricorns (alot of that one), Taurus's (alot of this one too), other Cancers, Virgo's.

I wonder if age has alot to do with this too, our needs change as we get older, purging the old, and establishing the new.....maybe I need the Airy types,

My now husband is Earth (Taurus sun, moon leo, sag rising), and so are my daughters, all earth signs (capricorn sun, sag moon and Pisc rising) and virgo (moon capricorn and Scorp rising respectively),

maybe I need Air to help balance the elements....I just thinking aloud now....sorry

Moonwillow

[sadique]

moonwillow I like your combination. Capricorn moon seems balanced to me. Would you say your moon used to determine your attraction to men or were/are you pretty much open to different types? Is the moon the sign u identify with most, I know you like air types now but are you a cappy personality?

[moonwillow]

Sadique
Moon in Capricorn can be hard to contend with sometimes, there is an inate ability to detach and get really cold, the feelings are normally blocked for the most part unless when dealing with family or close friends and people we have allowed in our life. I think my sun in cancer has helped in tempering the Cap moon negative tendencies and there are alot, however, as I get older, I would like to think that I am learning to develop some balance. The tendencie to overwork is always present, alot of the cappy tendencies, so yes, I belive as I get older I tend to be more cappy.

In terms of attraction, I think, my Scorpio rising has influenced my relationships since I have mostly attracted Tauran's, but this sign also resides in my 7th house. The relationships are not always easy, but then no relationships are no matter what house or sign they reside in, if you know what I mean,

I have only just started looking to astrology, about a year, and looking back, I pretty much dated different signs although I was not into astrology back then, it was all just dating and who you resonated with. Part of the growing up processing and making a hell of alot of mistakes.

The air types I seem to resonate well with these days, I have noticed that most of my friends tend to be air types, Aquarius, Libra, Gemini, I can talk to them, without getting bogged down with all that intensity, a good foil for me, these are intellectual signs, so the interaction and interchange is always at that level, I have only just started to notice this trend. I mean, who knew right.....

on the other hand
My mum was gemini, sun and moon, with cappy rising, we were close..and I again I found I could talk to her, the interaction and interchange was easy for a mom and daughter

Hope I answered your question Sadique

Take care
Moonwillow

[Rushwing]

Hi everyone, late to the discussion I'm sure but

Virgo sun

I have a scorpio moon at critical degree (29 scorpio)

4th house. Nearly conjunct my saturn (23 scorpio)

I've found this website on Sun/Moon combos to be pretty accurate. (http://www.astrology-numerology.com/sun-moon6.html)

Money quote for my sun/moon combination:

"At times you appear near genius, and at other times, way off base..."

So true it hurts.

[Amunet]

I have my natal moon placed in libra. With several of my 7th house placements, I feel that other people sense the diplomatic, fair-minded and artistic side of me quite easily. At times I feel a strong need for close friendships and partnerships. Being the true romantic at heart, harmony, peace and sharing is also a natural for me when in a relationship. I always try to see the best in people and situations...

As for the progressions, several of my Personal planets progressed into Leo, as of October 2011... These include Sun, Moon and Mercury. I can strongly relate to the Leo energy already...

[AriScoPis87]

Western and Vedic astrology: Both gave me Scorpio Moon. So either way, I'll always be a lunar bug lol

Anyway, I always feel my moon; day and night. It's the reason I'm as strong as I am and wise as I am about life. It reminds me to see what others can not see daily and know what not to bring into my life (ie - negative).

I'm constantly on edge 24/7, because I can "sense" that vail that we can't always see. The one that makes you "someone just walked over your grave" feeling.

With this moon, comes great responsibility (yeah yeah, I know 'spider-man', but it's true! lol) I don't think there is one Scorpio Moon that I haven't talked to or heard in the media that hasn't literally struggled through a handful of mole hills that turned into mountains by life's hands.

Nelson Mandela is one of many Scorpio Moons that has been through so much and has changed the world in such a huge way.

One thing I find that all Lunar Scorpios have in common: we are secret keepers. If someone spills our secrets, they are dead to us in some way. If you tell us a secret, we keep it. I've got more secrets then I have been alive (and I've been alive for 24 years!).

One of the major 50/50 chances that a Scorpio Moon may encounter growing up is: our mother. We either love her to death or we think she is going to be the death of us.


So now that a gist of the moon has been posted... I'll get into the stuff that was asked by the original poster.

"a)How much of an influence they have on your personality"
- How much? about 80-100%. I have a very water filled chart with a balance of fire as well. But it influences me more because of my life experiences.

"b)Do others sense these characteristics in you"
- Yes. Whatever good, bad, and ugly is in a Scorpio Moon; it has come out into the light. More so the good in person. I like being positive, but if people want to play hard ball, and you never do with anyone who has a strong scorpio aspect, then you better be wearing a metaphorical flame retarded suit and a bullet proof vest when you start being negative and bad mouthing. We play VERY dirt, because we can sense other peoples vulnerabilities, dreams, fears, etc... that they were on the surface without even realizing it. We can tell who to trust and who not to trust the moment we meet someone.

"c)Does it affect your attraction to others"
- Yes. I've talked to about 50+ other Scorpio Moons in the last few years and we all have similar problems: the opposite sex is drawn to us or the same-sex is threatened by us.

I've talked to many Scorpio Moon women and they constantly have other women that are either jealous, vicious, or flat-out b***hy because they are afraid of their man leaving them, are jealous that we just connect with someone better, or for no reason at all.

And for some reason many agree that we are loyal people; and we are. It's just some people of other moon signs are way too paranoid from their own past problems and tend to clash with us... even when there is nothing going on.

"d)Placement in progression chart"
- Ummm... I need to double check this lol

.... Okay so I checked and it says Libra Moon for Progress. My Natal Moon in Scorpio on the other hand is in Opposition to my Progressed Taurus Sun.

Sun in Sagittarius ( 3rd House)
Moon in Libra ( end of the 1st house )
Rising in Virgo ( 3rd House )

I can certainly relate to my Libra moon. I feel it in my strong inclination towards artistic works, music, poetry, dancing, books and theaters. I love beauty and I enjoy anything done with originality and uniqueness.
I come out to others as sweet, friendly and very tolerant and My Libra Moon certainly has a hand in it.

My Libra Moon affects my choice of partners greatly, I've noticed that I have this tendency to lean towards gentle, soft-spoken, composed, sophisticated and highly intellectual individuals ( both Virgo and Libra influence here ). I avoid loud, aggressive, talkative and rough people like a plague.

I have a Sagittarius Stellium in my birth chart which makes more adventurous, more active and more flexible than the typical Libra.

My Virgo Rising makes me seem reserved, shy and quiet at first glance ( especially with strangers) but as I get more and more comfortable with you, Sagittarius and Libra influence come forth overshadowing Virgo .

My moon is in Pisces, and of all my chart aspects, its the only one I see myself deeply in.
I'm compassionate, kind, generous, I'm not materialistic... and a bit lazy... i'm also insecure... dreamy... I don't like injustices... sometimes I hate the world, because I see everyday things that make me sad, crimes, brutality, discrimination, poverty, illness....... I'm very open minded in the way of accepting others point of views, cultures, religions... and sometimes I think would be more easier living without a body... I don't have strong will... i'm a dilettante... I'm a bit shy at first sight, but i'm very talkative when I feel confident...
Mystical, deep and lyric...

Is Pisces moon moody?

[Rebel Uranian]

Water Moons are always moody unless specifically aspected and/or other chart features are much stronger.

[astrologer50]

It is my hope that soon or at some point you all move on from generic cookbook themes and learn integration from signs/houses/aspects.

Discussing just a moon sign is a bit ridiculous as each sign will have 144 possible house placement interpretations. It's like discussing who won a lottery, don't they say it's 14Million to 1 stand a chance of winning...

Also it's like saying the popular sun sign astrology is 'all that there is' which is utter rubbish and just the tip of the iceberg.

Why not do something productive with moon signs, like post your chart and discuss 'one aspect' from moon? As moon is 'very likely' to have other aspects from moon these will alter and modify it's expression...

I don't want to appear rude or insensitive but please move on, grow and learn :wink:

My lunar complexities


Sun in Cancer
Moon in Pisces
Ascendant in Scorpio


I agree that reading only one planet is more complex than simply describing the Sign it falls it. In my case the 4th house Moon is involved in significant configurations including a Yod and a Grand trine with Saturn and the Sun, so there are many different energies that need to be integrated and balanced.
In my youth I was tormented by my older siblings with betrayals, deceptions and manipulations. I believe the 4th house also represents the psyche, and as such I was psychically sensitive, always picking up on the underlying emotions of the family and thus felt frequently emotionally overwhelmed. Into adulthood, I spent many years trying to balance my insecurities, shyness and sensitivity. I had to learn how to stop being a victim, and upon doning my mask for the outside world I always viewed life from a position of self-defence [Scorpio] and had to learn how to gain self-control over my emotional reactions.


As my Scorpio mask developed, people would often see me as being in-depth and somewhat secretive: some even felt somewhat intimidated by me, apparently seeing me as quite powerful, without me even realizing it; inside I felt totally disempowered.


Grand Water trine: the Moon trines a conjunction of Sun/Jupiter in the 8th house – this has helped me to maintain my strong sense of charity, generosity and honesty and my compassion for my fellow man[Pisces]. The other trine is to Saturn in Scorpio in the 12th house: The challenges and limitations I have experienced through Saturn have helped to strengthen my resolve...and is a testament that 'what doesn't kill us makes us stronger'. I am working through much karmic [psychic] baggage in this lifetime with Saturn/Neptune in the 12th. In retrospect I believe that the grand water trine helps to sustain us and also implies the potential for divine intervention and support as required. Several years ago I experienced a divine state of grace as a reassurance of my faith.


The Yod -the finger of God -may be associated with a pre-determined destiny...typically it represents energies and situations in flux that require personal adjustments on the part of the invidual. In my case this mini-trine involves the Moon sextile Mars, with both inconjunct Venus in Leo. The problem with the inconjunct is that we have to re-experience its energy many times before we become conscious that there is a problem. We then have to work at integrating the variable energies [Mars/earth; Moon/water;Venus in fire]


With concentrated energy in the 9th house [Venus, Mercury and Uranus] as well as Pluto at the MC, I have always been drawn to culture and philosophy and my own version of spirituality. Venus holds the main position as the apex of the Yod: I also think this represents the basic relational chemistry whereby the Moon depicts our 'inner needs and yearnings'; in addition to the traditional interpretations Venus also depicts our 'expectations in life' as well as our basic belief system that is based on our values; and Mars represents our desires, which are not always in keeping with reality.


As such these three planets need to be balanced in order to maintain fulfilling and meaningful relationships, otherwise we get confused and experience conflict and disagreement in our search for the perfect partner. With Mars our passions can get the better of us, with our desires becoming obsessional. With Venus we can hold unrealistic expectations of others and become overly demanding or critical with our partners. And of course the 'perceived needs' of the Moon can make us clinging and dependant. And sometimes the things we thing we want are not necessarily the things we need.


As such we see that we are much more than our Moon sign and it's house position and this is the difficulty for beginners in the study of astrology, as I recall from when I first took up the study many years ago. And as a general rule when the Moon is afflicted we can expect that the energies will typically be expressed negatively: if it is supported, then we can assume that the person is able to maintain a better degree of emotional control.

Not sure if I have mentioned about pisces moon, if I have just ignore....


Pisces moon
“However, your Moon is in Pisces, which is a highly sensitive and deeply emotional Moon placement. It would certainly feel like a Chiron-Moon contact, even if technically it is not. Those with Moon in Pisces experienced an emotional disconnection from mother whilst growing up. The mother was most likely either emotionally shut down, addicted, or very distracted by her own life. This leaves a deep wound to do with feeling left out or disconnected - emotionally - from the rest of the world.”

Comments by R4ven senior member - “Sun conjunct Chiron in 9th” thread

since your Moon is in Pisces, your mother was most likely not available to you when you most needed her to be

obviously not taking into account aspects, it could be worst, I've heard moon conj chiron is very challenging....

[Rebel Uranian]

From my Moon being in Cancer, you'd think I'm some overly-cautious sentimental person who loves familiarity. But to me familiarity is boredom and boredom is death, and I like exciting and sometimes somewhat risky things, and I hate having to deal with drama, much less giving "tea and sympathy" (as is often said here) for it. My Sun-Moon midpoint is unaspected in Aries in the 3rd house of communications (naturally ruled by Gemini) which is about as different as it gets from Cancer minus Aries sharing the cardinal modality. Oh, and airy Uranus in Aquarius takes almost all the energy on the chart thanks to approaching close parallels from other depositors, and I have the Sun on an angle while the Moon is hanging out in a cadent house.

Can Sun signs be descriptive? If the Sun is strong on a chart and no aspects come in to interfere, definitely. Same with any other planet if it is strong on a chart. But all the cookbook descriptions annoy the heck out of me. My Sun-Moon combination is supposed to have the main weakness of "inactivity" and "lacking practical ability" but I have an Air-Earth chart with 4 planets in practical Capricorn, no other water planets, and active Mars is the background planet of the chart since it's elevated and making major aspects to my Sun, Moon, and Ascendant, which is about the main thing distinguishing me from typical Aqua. If my Moon was somewhere else, it would not be aspected by Mars and I wouldn't be nearly as active.

Anyone else hate cookbook descriptions?

Indeed my mother was very emotionally detached with me, and thus I yearned to compensate by striving to make deep connections with other women, which of course backfired on me for the most part...sometimes when we try to make up for a lack we can become obsessive and thus tend to turn others away...combine that with my Scorpio rising. With the Moon being part of the Yod this signified a necessary lesson I was intended to learn...


Indeed I believe that cookbook descriptions fail to capture the essence of the chart as a whole...yet for beginners this is the first thing to overcome...they need to consider that any planet can be expressed either negatively or positively depending on how they are aspected...again this is why we have to view the chart as a whole...


just here to offer help...

[Rebel Uranian]

There is no such thing as an entirely negative or positive expression. Some signs just aren't compatible at all.

Also, I'm seriously doubting my Moon sign right now... But I'm probably wrong. I mean, sure, people could've made mistakes and given me the wrong birthdate, but then I'd have a pitted Sun, but I was born at sunrise either way and I look quite solar.

[dee12]

Hi there! Fellow Leo moon here. :-)

I guess that my placement is pretty exact as to how others perceive the typical Leo moon, and it's definitely noticeable by those who are near me (which I think would be further enhanced by my Leo asc.).

My moon gets on pretty well with other planets in my chart except for a square with Pluto and a quincunx with Uranus. I'm fairly new to how I can apply my aspects to my life, but I'll give it a shot:

Since moons have to do with mothers, I think I'll go with that. My mom is definitely a fashionable and generous woman, but she's fairly protective and sometimes a bit controlling of me.. which might be the Moon/Pluto speaking. Because of circumstances, she was always absent from my life. Though I have a deep connection with her, we don't usually communicate very much. I feel like there's some kind of emotional block that I always don't want to talk to her about. We're quite distant from each other in that aspect, but we know we love each other very much.

That's probably enough, I think, since I don't have enough skills to speak more of it. I'm still trying to get that midpoint thing, though..

As a Astrology Moon cab effect on our mind, emotions and body, moon has best effect on the person's thinking that is proved by the scientist and same things are proved by the our Ancestors million of years ago.

That's interesting, because my Moon is in Cancer and people think I'm too logical/unemotional/detached/distant. Hmm, I wonder if it should be placed in Gemini. Oh wait, how about no, because I don't talk enough most of the time and people complain a little about that too. Let's just invent another Moon sign for me like Virgo.
