I've never really thought about it before, but I'd say maybe a lot of my indecision might apply. Other people I know who have moon trine mars always know exactly what they want to do, where they want to go and apart from the physical work, seem to have an easier time getting there so to speak. I'm even thinking about my hesitation in changing lanes and whatnot.2. Yes, definitely. I can't do anything unless I feel like doing it.3. Really hard, or rather I can make goals but I have a really hard time holding myself to them. 4. Yes and no, I never loose interest but I can easily justify walking away from them to myself, while being irritated at my lack of self discipline at the same time.5. not too sure.FmVenusWLoveHey Faith I have Moon exactly square Mars in my chart. My Moon is in Virgo 10H and Mars is in Gemini 7H. Here's a little breakdown of what I experience:1. How do you see this aspect playing out in your life?I do find that this aspect is especially present in my work and in my relationships. I am especially restless at work. I need a high stress, action-packed type of position or else I get bored and then get cranky. Every manager I have ever had has commented on how highly energetic and motivated I am. When I was young I had a few unfortunate cases where I disliked a manager or a job circumstance (haven't we all?). I definitely took an "f- this" attitude and used my energy in...less than constructive ways. I would play practical jokes on management, or purposely do something wrong or break a copier so my manager had to figure out how to fix it (maybe that's the Gemini?). Not something I'm proud of, but my coworkers and I had A LOT of laughs.I need a lot of independence too. When I feel restricted or as though I'm being micromanaged I get sassy - it's the same in relationships. I have been complimented many times on how cool, quick and efficient I am in a crisis. At my last job, my manager actually said "It's like nothing phases you." Truth is, I am "phased" by whatever crisis is unfolding, but the difference is I LIKE that feeling. I would absolutely die if I had to sit at a desk all day - I need to be stimulated at work. Otherwise, I get bored and wander off (or, again, use my powers destructively).In relationships I'm one of those weirdos who enjoy fighting with their partner. In my younger days, this was of course unhealthy because I didn't understand how to channel that need for "passion". I have never been physically violent with anyone in my life, but my words have definitely hurt my ex . Now that I've matured, I absolutely would never be rude, disrespectful, or intentionally hurtful to my partner. When I fight now, it's always playful (i.e. arguing about philosophy, who is a better actor, how spicy is "too" spicy) or it's channeled in other...*ehem*...non-violent physical ways I find that when I'm upset or angry, this is an especially effective way to calm me down...2. Do your moods interfere with your productivity sometimes (ie, "I just don't feel like doing that")?Absolutely 100% yes. I'm still learning to manage this part of my personality better, but there are times when I get angry or upset and my productivity plummets. What I notice happens more often is that I shift from concentrating on what needs to be done and start focusing on something completely different - which is usually something I find fun or makes me happy.3. How easy is it for you to determine your goals and work towards them?I find I'm really good with short-term or temporary goals. Once I have a goal, I jump at it full force and almost always accomplish it. I change my mind easily though, so goals that require a great deal of stamina and "tunnel vision" are completely lost on me.Additionally, I notice that inevitably I get bored with living my goal and move on to trying to accomplish something else. I like "the fight" - the process of working toward something and the struggle to accomplish what I want. When I change my mind, it's usually because I've discovered something about my goal that I don't like. Once my heart is no longer in it, it never gets accomplished.4. Do you often lose interest in your own goals?Yes.5. What else comes to mind when you think of this aspect, that you find interesting?I notice that exercise improves my mood a great deal. I definitely experience endorphin highs after a workout or after doing something physical.FaithThank you both. 'Hoping to get more replies and look for patterns, before I answer. teaselI'll reply later, or tomorrow.EmGem quote:Originally posted by Faith:1.

I'm all stop and go, stop and go. Either really go or really stop. 2. yes! exactly as you say. If i don't feel like doing it most likely i won't - enter procrastination.3. not THAT easy. i feel i need external help because im such a living in the moment person and find it hard to ground myself into thinking about the future, 5 year plans etc. 4. yes, usually because of some emotional thing going on in my life. they change too.5. the interplay between masculine and feminine has been a huge learning in my life and is very well played out by mars/moon.violet0000I have moon square mars. My moon is Gemini in 1st house, and my mars is Pisces in 10th house.1. How do you see this aspect playing out in your life?I don't know wheather it is related to this aspect or not but I have a bad temper and everything depends on my mood which frequently changes... Emotionally volatile.2. Do your moods interfere with your productivity sometimes (ie, "I just don't feel like doing that")?Yes. Definitely!3. How easy is it for you to determine your goals and work towards them?They often change depending on my mood and surroundings. If the goals I set are related to my career, I can achieve them in the end...no matter what happens to me :P4. Do you often lose interest in your own goals?Yes!!!5. What else comes to mind when you think of this aspect, that you find interesting?Whenever I lose interest in my own goals or lose my way etc, my family and my close friends cheer me up, which really works for me. It is very important for me to have good friends and surroundings around me! teasel quote:Originally posted by Faith:1. How do you see this aspect playing out in your life?I've seen it as attracting people to me who want to mess with me/mess with my life. I know that people see this as an argumentative aspect, but I really hated upsets, and would remain calm unless someone shocked me - at which time I would cry and argue at the same time.I used to have a good relationship with my mother, I thought. Not really so, anymore. quote:2. Do your moods interfere with your productivity sometimes (ie, "I just don't feel like doing that")?They do. I was going to try decluttering last week, but I was feeling depressed. I couldn't come up here and sort through my history, when I was feeling that way.When it comes to laundry, or tidying up, I'll grab something as I move from one place to another. I have to be in a really good mood, to get anything done, so I really don't get much done anymore, without doing this (throwing clothes over the stair rail, to the basement, as I move from the upstairs to the downstairs, picking up dishes from the living room, and moving them to the kitchen, etc).When it comes to writing things, not that I write much of anything anymore, I would write things out, and then leave it, go back and re-read, or wait for anything else I might want to say. quote:3. How easy is it for you to determine your goals and work towards them?It used to be pretty easy for me. It isn't, now. I don't really have any goals. quote:4. Do you often lose interest in your own goals?That depends on what it is, and what's going on in my life. I have lost interest in things after investing time in them, but that's apparently an Aries thing. If I'm feeling good and involved, I will have to finish it before I can concentrate on anything else. quote:5. What else comes to mind when you think of this aspect, that you find interesting?No matter how peaceful you are, someone will come along, poke you until you're upset, and then blame you. ikja quote:Originally posted by Faith:1.

What else comes to mind when you think of this aspect, that you find interesting?--Thanks I have moon square Mars and will answer later.I have moon conjunct Mars in Aries!I am someone who likes to start and finish things quickly. I like getting things done right the first time and get quite irritated when I have to repeat things. I'm definitely a leader and take the lead in most projects ordering people around 😂😂😂 once I decide on a goal, I'm fighting to the end to finish it. I don't give up easily and I swear, I can beat even the most deadest of horses just to prove a point - although this is often a waste of energy lol I have a lot of energy and I like watching quite masculine sports and being VERY active. When I'm angry especially, I have to move around... Otherwise I can feel my angry and this makes me unwell/sad. ikjaTeasel, I too find that I attract people who desire to "conquer" me or get me angry because they enjoy how quickly I can get wound up. When I was younger, I didn't understand that; but now... I'm out the door the moment someone doesn't take 'I'm getting annoyed' as a hint. People love to wind me up to the point where I explode and then turn round and act innocent, as of I'm the one who started disrespect or rudeness first! CosmiqPhuzMoon/Mars conjunct in Libra1. I think the conjunct has given me more aggression/drive than a typical Libra. I like to figure things out on my own instead of being taught someone else's method. On the downside, I think I'm more impulsive and have a shorter temper. I'd probably be a big pushover if it weren't for the conjunction. 2. Yes, I'd say so. It's kinda hard for me to do things insincerely and fake it. 3. Pretty easy4. No5. I have my moon/mars square neptune, giving me a tendency to daydream too. next to neptune1. How do you see this aspect playing out in your life?I have a quick temper and I lose my cool very fast. Sometimes I just cant hold my emotions back and I explode in anger 2. Do your moods interfere with your productivity sometimes (ie, "I just don't feel like doing that")?Yes all the time 3. How easy is it for you to determine your goals and work towards them?Whem I am determined enough it is very easy for me to work towards my goal. As long as I just really feel like its important 4. Do you often lose interest in your own goals?It depends...the goal itself can change a lot very fast. But if it is a goal I've set with others as well and it is my responsibility to go through with it, of course I will. I do not back out from stuff that is important for me5. What else comes to mind when you think of this aspect, that you find interesting?Quick reflexes lol! Having this kind of aspect could make you great at martial arts or kung-fu. You think and react fast when under pressure or in danger. Your body always react in some kind of intuitive way. It's kind of a great survival aspect I believe --I have moon in pisces opposition mars in virgo (under 2 degrees)FaithThanks again for the replies. I'm going to post my own answers, hope more come in, and then look over the "data" I have 11H Gemini Mars square 8H Pisces moon.1. How do you see this aspect playing out in your life?Positively, it prevents my moon from becoming too reclusive and prevents my Mars from talking even more than it does. Gemini Mars can be verbally hostile; this was truer of me when I was younger, as years of painful regret and training from the Pisces moon have taught me to watch my tongue.Negatively, these planets are at cross-purposes, holding each other back or setting each other off, as one would expect.2. Do your moods interfere with your productivity sometimes (ie, "I just don't feel like doing that")?Absolutely, that's why I asked the question. Sometimes just the energy of the day seems to be demanding a certain type of response and if I can, I try to honor that and "live in the moment." This can actually undermine my long-term plans. I have to work on this.Transits that support my natal Mars help me catch up for the times when I can't get my act together; I tend to work very hard (marathon work sessions that go into the night) or just enough to get by. 'Not consistent enough to meet my own standards.3. How easy is it for you to determine your goals and work towards them?I get enchanted by unrealistic goals, end up with a pile, and get confused about what's doable and worthwhile, and what isn't. 4. Do you often lose interest in your own goals?Yes5. What else comes to mind when you think of this aspect, that you find interesting?I love walking, partly because it allows me to be alone (moon's desire) and with people in my head, as I mull over conversations or people issues (Mars' desire.) My moon is at the apex of a t-square actually, it squares both Mars and Neptune. I credit this triangle with some artistic ability, some gentleness, and a good amount of idleness.teasel quote:Originally posted by ikja:Teasel, I too find that I attract people who desire to "conquer" me or get me angry because they enjoy how quickly I can get wound up.

People love to wind me up to the point where I explode and then turn round and act innocent, as of I'm the one who started disrespect or rudeness first! Isn't it horrible? I used to be better at ignoring it, but it doesn't take much to sting anymore.teaselI completely forgot about artistic ability. When I was younger, I would paint when I was upset. After one cat died, I couldn't sleep, so I painted all night. Mum told me that it looked like where they'd buried him. I used to be very intuitive. I read again today, about some sort of proof that when we're stressed, our intuition isn't as strong, and that people who are deliberately isolated (by others) actually have some sort of cognitive impairment. I don't have the book handy now, but it confirmed how I've been feeling for the past several years - especially since my Pisces Mars, and everything connected to it, was Neptuned three/four years ago. I love to walk, and don't do it nearly enough. I would walk off my anxiety when things were bad here at home (and I still need to, because I'm not over it, but I can't leave, because my dog will freak out - and he isn't in any shape to be walking all over the place now). I have to be by myself, and I used to take my camera along - taking pictures was soothing, because I would focus on something outside of me. *edit. I also have trouble either being too emotional now, or too... in my head, too stiff upper lip in a bad way. Like Gemini isn't going to have anyone bring them down - until Pisces Mars finally just has to cry. I used to be really gentle, and that time in between the heavy tears, and feeling okay - sometimes it's necessary. I'm tired, and don't quite know how to say what I want to say.

Omg, this is the most accurate thing that I have just noticed that people do to me. Maybe they feel are intensity and want to know how we are when we're mad...some ppl feed off that mess!Aries23Degrees quote:Originally posted by Faith:1. How do you see this aspect playing out in your life?Its a very touchy aspect really. And it tends towards making the individual irritable to the point of over-sensitivity.In my relationship, this aspect plays out with me being very sensitized/reactionary to what the guy says and does.In fact, it makes me very sensitized /reactionary towards every close relationship I haveIt exacerbates the Moon in Cancer moodiness.But also increases the need for physical stimulation too; sex,exercise etc.I make a decision every day to be conscious of when I'm "reacting" to what I am observing. As not to be crazy and unstable all the time. But it is a work in progress quote:Originally posted by Faith:2. Do your moods interfere with your productivity sometimes (ie, "I just don't feel like doing that")?It tends to influence my productivity at work only when I feel demoralized. And that goes back to the "sensitive" thing.At its best, I am able to start things. In fact, I think I enjoy starting new things a lot.I usually feel at my most productive when the transit of the Moon is in a cardinal sign(especially Aries) quote:Originally posted by Faith:3. How easy is it for you to determine your goals and work towards them?I break down my long-term goals into short term targets. I don't like doing something that will tax me for too long. I only have so much energy to go around after all.So say if I want to paint the house. The goal is going to require a lot of energy.And I am always tempted to do it all at once(that is the impulsive nature I tend to have).So what I do is wait for when I am feeling most energized.Then do as much as I can on that day. That is to say; I squeeze as much juice as I can get from the orange etc. quote:Originally posted by Faith:4. Do you often lose interest in your own goals?I lose interest only when the goal that's been targeted,is not broken down to pieces.I need to be able to see progress.Be able to measure "form here to here" so to speak.So if I start a gym regiment for instance, I don't expect outcomes overnight. But I do expect to see something forming in 3 Months( with all dietary conditions satisfied of-course) quote:Originally posted by Faith:5. What else comes to mind when you think of this aspect, that you find interesting?The other thing that I have realized with this aspect is that it gives a very quick emotional responses to a situation. Almost "intuitive" etc.So yes, it is tied in with sensitivity. But there is more.It is almost like you can tell the "gist" of something form the get go. But words(especially when Moon is in aspect to Mercury by opposition or other hard aspect like me) are hard to find. Or come in retrospect of the experience.For instance, I'll meet someone new and can readily tell within minutes if I'll be good friends with them.I know that this is not necessarily a unique skill. But i am personally amazed at how accurate it is IME.Many people tend to ignore this trait. In my case, it screams "PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!"FaithThanks everyone So, I think this little poll strengthens my suspicion that moon in hard aspect to Mars can undermine productivity. I've never read this anywhere, but observed it in myself...good to know others relate, though it's not a problem I'd wish on anyone....A few comments @freebrainstorms~ quote:Other people I know who have moon trine mars always know exactly what they want to do, where they want to go and apart from the physical work, seem to have an easier time getting there so to speak.

I was laughing at the changing lanes example. @FmVenusWLove~You remind me a little bit of my friend with Virgo moon square Mars. She is much more practical than I am with my Pisces moon; she excels in any business environment. quote:I would absolutely die if I had to sit at a desk all day - I need to be stimulated at work.I tried doing that and it was awful.

I forgot to even ask about this. It's been a huge issue for me....I've gone from extreme to extreme, actually...looking like a boy, looking like a girl, figuring it all out.

Emotionally volatile.At least you are honest with yourself about it. First house moons are a bit like Aries moons, and they can be impulsive. I also have a bad temper but...haven't freaked out for a while and feel very mellow right now, so it's almost hard to imagine. quote:Whenever I lose interest in my own goals or lose my way etc, my family and my close friends cheer me up, which really works for me.

Though...as we were saying recently on the Cancer vs. Pisces moon thread...Cancer moons are better at conserving their emotions and investing in people they like. As a Pisces moon I can see things up front, all the obnoxious tidbits and everything, but I'm always looking beyond that....I have this great curiosity that says, "What are you like, behind this annoying mask that you wear?" And often enough, I like what's behind the mask, and befriend that. ETA: Though not always.Doux RêveBasically what others have said...Yep, it's hard to stay productive with this aspect. It goes up and down a lot. (In my case it's mainly down cause Saturn is part of the mix.)teasel Faith Doux Rêvedp.

1. I've never really thought about it before, but I'd say maybe a lot of my indecision might apply. Other people I know who have moon trine mars always know exactly what they want to do, where they want to go and apart from the physical work, seem to have an easier time getting there so to speak.

2. Yes, definitely. I can't do anything unless I feel like doing it.
3. Really hard, or rather I can make goals but I have a really hard time holding myself to them.
4. Yes and no, I never loose interest but I can easily justify walking away from them to myself, while being irritated at my lack of self discipline at the same time.
5. not too sure.
1. How do you see this aspect playing out in your life?
I do find that this aspect is especially present in my work and in my relationships. I am especially restless at work. I need a high stress, action-packed type of position or else I get bored and then get cranky. Every manager I have ever had has commented on how highly energetic and motivated I am. When I was young I had a few unfortunate cases where I disliked a manager or a job circumstance (haven't we all?). I definitely took an "f- this" attitude and used my energy in...less than constructive ways. I would play practical jokes on management, or purposely do something wrong or break a copier so my manager had to figure out how to fix it (maybe that's the Gemini?). Not something I'm proud of, but my coworkers and I had A LOT of laughs.
I need a lot of independence too. When I feel restricted or as though I'm being micromanaged I get sassy - it's the same in relationships.
I have been complimented many times on how cool, quick and efficient I am in a crisis. At my last job, my manager actually said "It's like nothing phases you." Truth is, I am "phased" by whatever crisis is unfolding, but the difference is I LIKE that feeling. I would absolutely die if I had to sit at a desk all day - I need to be stimulated at work. Otherwise, I get bored and wander off (or, again, use my powers destructively).
In relationships I'm one of those weirdos who enjoy fighting with their partner. In my younger days, this was of course unhealthy because I didn't understand how to channel that need for "passion". I have never been physically violent with anyone in my life, but my words have definitely hurt my ex . Now that I've matured, I absolutely would never be rude, disrespectful, or intentionally hurtful to my partner. When I fight now, it's always playful (i.e. arguing about philosophy, who is a better actor, how spicy is "too" spicy) or it's channeled in other...*ehem*...non-violent physical ways I find that when I'm upset or angry, this is an especially effective way to calm me down...
Absolutely 100% yes. I'm still learning to manage this part of my personality better, but there are times when I get angry or upset and my productivity plummets. What I notice happens more often is that I shift from concentrating on what needs to be done and start focusing on something completely different - which is usually something I find fun or makes me happy.
I find I'm really good with short-term or temporary goals. Once I have a goal, I jump at it full force and almost always accomplish it. I change my mind easily though, so goals that require a great deal of stamina and "tunnel vision" are completely lost on me.
Additionally, I notice that inevitably I get bored with living my goal and move on to trying to accomplish something else. I like "the fight" - the process of working toward something and the struggle to accomplish what I want. When I change my mind, it's usually because I've discovered something about my goal that I don't like. Once my heart is no longer in it, it never gets accomplished.
Yes.
I notice that exercise improves my mood a great deal. I definitely experience endorphin highs after a workout or after doing something physical.

1. hard to say without an interference from saturn, it's jammed there with my mars and moon conjunction. I'm all stop and go, stop and go. Either really go or really stop.
2. yes! exactly as you say. If i don't feel like doing it most likely i won't - enter procrastination.
3. not THAT easy. i feel i need external help because im such a living in the moment person and find it hard to ground myself into thinking about the future, 5 year plans etc.
4. yes, usually because of some emotional thing going on in my life. they change too.
5. the interplay between masculine and feminine has been a huge learning in my life and is very well played out by mars/moon.
I don't know wheather it is related to this aspect or not but I have a bad temper and everything depends on my mood which frequently changes... Emotionally volatile.
Yes. Definitely!
They often change depending on my mood and surroundings. If the goals I set are related to my career, I can achieve them in the end...no matter what happens to me :P
Yes!!!
Whenever I lose interest in my own goals or lose my way etc, my family and my close friends cheer me up, which really works for me. It is very important for me to have good friends and surroundings around me!
quote:Originally posted by Faith:1. How do you see this aspect playing out in your life?
I've seen it as attracting people to me who want to mess with me/mess with my life. I know that people see this as an argumentative aspect, but I really hated upsets, and would remain calm unless someone shocked me - at which time I would cry and argue at the same time.
I used to have a good relationship with my mother, I thought. Not really so, anymore.
quote:2. Do your moods interfere with your productivity sometimes (ie, "I just don't feel like doing that")?
They do. I was going to try decluttering last week, but I was feeling depressed. I couldn't come up here and sort through my history, when I was feeling that way.
When it comes to laundry, or tidying up, I'll grab something as I move from one place to another. I have to be in a really good mood, to get anything done, so I really don't get much done anymore, without doing this (throwing clothes over the stair rail, to the basement, as I move from the upstairs to the downstairs, picking up dishes from the living room, and moving them to the kitchen, etc).
When it comes to writing things, not that I write much of anything anymore, I would write things out, and then leave it, go back and re-read, or wait for anything else I might want to say.
quote:3. How easy is it for you to determine your goals and work towards them?
It used to be pretty easy for me. It isn't, now. I don't really have any goals.
quote:4. Do you often lose interest in your own goals?
That depends on what it is, and what's going on in my life. I have lost interest in things after investing time in them, but that's apparently an Aries thing. If I'm feeling good and involved, I will have to finish it before I can concentrate on anything else.
quote:5. What else comes to mind when you think of this aspect, that you find interesting?
No matter how peaceful you are, someone will come along, poke you until you're upset, and then blame you.
I have moon conjunct Mars in Aries!
I am someone who likes to start and finish things quickly. I like getting things done right the first time and get quite irritated when I have to repeat things. I'm definitely a leader and take the lead in most projects ordering people around 😂😂😂 once I decide on a goal, I'm fighting to the end to finish it. I don't give up easily and I swear, I can beat even the most deadest of horses just to prove a point - although this is often a waste of energy lol
I have a lot of energy and I like watching quite masculine sports and being VERY active. When I'm angry especially, I have to move around... Otherwise I can feel my angry and this makes me unwell/sad.
1. I think the conjunct has given me more aggression/drive than a typical Libra. I like to figure things out on my own instead of being taught someone else's method. On the downside, I think I'm more impulsive and have a shorter temper. I'd probably be a big pushover if it weren't for the conjunction.
2. Yes, I'd say so. It's kinda hard for me to do things insincerely and fake it.
3. Pretty easy
4. No
5. I have my moon/mars square neptune, giving me a tendency to daydream too.
I have a quick temper and I lose my cool very fast. Sometimes I just cant hold my emotions back and I explode in anger
Yes all the time
Whem I am determined enough it is very easy for me to work towards my goal. As long as I just really feel like its important
It depends...the goal itself can change a lot very fast. But if it is a goal I've set with others as well and it is my responsibility to go through with it, of course I will. I do not back out from stuff that is important for me
Quick reflexes lol! Having this kind of aspect could make you great at martial arts or kung-fu. You think and react fast when under pressure or in danger. Your body always react in some kind of intuitive way. It's kind of a great survival aspect I believe --
I have moon in pisces opposition mars in virgo (under 2 degrees)
I'm going to post my own answers, hope more come in, and then look over the "data"
I have 11H Gemini Mars square 8H Pisces moon.
Positively, it prevents my moon from becoming too reclusive and prevents my Mars from talking even more than it does. Gemini Mars can be verbally hostile; this was truer of me when I was younger, as years of painful regret and training from the Pisces moon have taught me to watch my tongue.
Negatively, these planets are at cross-purposes, holding each other back or setting each other off, as one would expect.
Absolutely, that's why I asked the question. Sometimes just the energy of the day seems to be demanding a certain type of response and if I can, I try to honor that and "live in the moment." This can actually undermine my long-term plans. I have to work on this.
Transits that support my natal Mars help me catch up for the times when I can't get my act together; I tend to work very hard (marathon work sessions that go into the night) or just enough to get by. 'Not consistent enough to meet my own standards.
I get enchanted by unrealistic goals, end up with a pile, and get confused about what's doable and worthwhile, and what isn't.
Yes
I love walking, partly because it allows me to be alone (moon's desire) and with people in my head, as I mull over conversations or people issues (Mars' desire.)
My moon is at the apex of a t-square actually, it squares both Mars and Neptune. I credit this triangle with some artistic ability, some gentleness, and a good amount of idleness.
quote:Originally posted by ikja:Teasel, I too find that I attract people who desire to "conquer" me or get me angry because they enjoy how quickly I can get wound up. When I was younger, I didn't understand that; but now... I'm out the door the moment someone doesn't take 'I'm getting annoyed' as a hint. People love to wind me up to the point where I explode and then turn round and act innocent, as of I'm the one who started disrespect or rudeness first!
Isn't it horrible? I used to be better at ignoring it, but it doesn't take much to sting anymore.
I used to be very intuitive. I read again today, about some sort of proof that when we're stressed, our intuition isn't as strong, and that people who are deliberately isolated (by others) actually have some sort of cognitive impairment. I don't have the book handy now, but it confirmed how I've been feeling for the past several years - especially since my Pisces Mars, and everything connected to it, was Neptuned three/four years ago.
I love to walk, and don't do it nearly enough. I would walk off my anxiety when things were bad here at home (and I still need to, because I'm not over it, but I can't leave, because my dog will freak out - and he isn't in any shape to be walking all over the place now). I have to be by myself, and I used to take my camera along - taking pictures was soothing, because I would focus on something outside of me.
*edit. I also have trouble either being too emotional now, or too... in my head, too stiff upper lip in a bad way. Like Gemini isn't going to have anyone bring them down - until Pisces Mars finally just has to cry. I used to be really gentle, and that time in between the heavy tears, and feeling okay - sometimes it's necessary. I'm tired, and don't quite know how to say what I want to say.
Its a very touchy aspect really. And it tends towards making the individual irritable to the point of over-sensitivity.
In my relationship, this aspect plays out with me being very sensitized/reactionary to what the guy says and does.
In fact, it makes me very sensitized /reactionary towards every close relationship I have
It exacerbates the Moon in Cancer moodiness.But also increases the need for physical stimulation too; sex,exercise etc.
I make a decision every day to be conscious of when I'm "reacting" to what I am observing. As not to be crazy and unstable all the time. But it is a work in progress
quote:Originally posted by Faith:2. Do your moods interfere with your productivity sometimes (ie, "I just don't feel like doing that")?
It tends to influence my productivity at work only when I feel demoralized. And that goes back to the "sensitive" thing.
At its best, I am able to start things. In fact, I think I enjoy starting new things a lot.
I usually feel at my most productive when the transit of the Moon is in a cardinal sign(especially Aries)
quote:Originally posted by Faith:3. How easy is it for you to determine your goals and work towards them?
I break down my long-term goals into short term targets. I don't like doing something that will tax me for too long. I only have so much energy to go around after all.
So say if I want to paint the house. The goal is going to require a lot of energy.And I am always tempted to do it all at once(that is the impulsive nature I tend to have).
So what I do is wait for when I am feeling most energized.Then do as much as I can on that day.
That is to say; I squeeze as much juice as I can get from the orange etc.
quote:Originally posted by Faith:4. Do you often lose interest in your own goals?
I lose interest only when the goal that's been targeted,is not broken down to pieces.
I need to be able to see progress.Be able to measure "form here to here" so to speak.
So if I start a gym regiment for instance, I don't expect outcomes overnight.
But I do expect to see something forming in 3 Months( with all dietary conditions satisfied of-course)
quote:Originally posted by Faith:5. What else comes to mind when you think of this aspect, that you find interesting?
The other thing that I have realized with this aspect is that it gives a very quick emotional responses to a situation. Almost "intuitive" etc.
So yes, it is tied in with sensitivity. But there is more.
It is almost like you can tell the "gist" of something form the get go. But words(especially when Moon is in aspect to Mercury by opposition or other hard aspect like me) are hard to find. Or come in retrospect of the experience.
For instance, I'll meet someone new and can readily tell within minutes if I'll be good friends with them.
I know that this is not necessarily a unique skill. But i am personally amazed at how accurate it is IME.
Many people tend to ignore this trait. In my case, it screams "PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!"
So, I think this little poll strengthens my suspicion that moon in hard aspect to Mars can undermine productivity. I've never read this anywhere, but observed it in myself...good to know others relate, though it's not a problem I'd wish on anyone....
A few comments
@freebrainstorms~
quote:Other people I know who have moon trine mars always know exactly what they want to do, where they want to go and apart from the physical work, seem to have an easier time getting there so to speak. I'm even thinking about my hesitation in changing lanes and whatnot.
I strongly relate to this. I'm indecisive, too. I was laughing at the changing lanes example.
@FmVenusWLove~
You remind me a little bit of my friend with Virgo moon square Mars. She is much more practical than I am with my Pisces moon; she excels in any business environment.
quote:I would absolutely die if I had to sit at a desk all day - I need to be stimulated at work.
I tried doing that and it was awful. I kept getting up to circulate around the office, offering to run errands, ANYTHING to get out of the chair.
quote:In relationships I'm one of those weirdos who enjoy fighting with their partner.
I don't enjoy fighting but too much peace has made me antsy before. Essentially, I have some inner turbulence, and I've needed my partners to match me, otherwise I've feared throwing them off balance and victimizing them. That was more a problem when I was younger and more volatile, but I got married feeling that way.
quote:I change my mind easily though, so goals that require a great deal of stamina and 'tunnel vision' are completely lost on me.Additionally, I notice that inevitably I get bored with living my goal and move on to trying to accomplish something else.
Same here.
quote:I notice that exercise improves my mood a great deal. I definitely experience endorphin highs after a workout or after doing something physical.
^^ This too.
quote:i feel i need external help because im such a living in the moment person and find it hard to ground myself into thinking about the future, 5 year plans etc.
*Nods* I used to be better at having some kind of vision, now I'm better at living in the moment...true, I also seek out others to help me strike a balance or inspire me.
quote:the interplay between masculine and feminine has been a huge learning in my life and is very well played out by mars/moon.
Great point! I forgot to even ask about this. It's been a huge issue for me....I've gone from extreme to extreme, actually...looking like a boy, looking like a girl, figuring it all out. Astrology helps put it all in perspective.

Hello to another Gemini Mars/Pisces moon.
quote:I don't know wheather it is related to this aspect or not but I have a bad temper and everything depends on my mood which frequently changes... Emotionally volatile.
At least you are honest with yourself about it. First house moons are a bit like Aries moons, and they can be impulsive. I also have a bad temper but...haven't freaked out for a while and feel very mellow right now, so it's almost hard to imagine.
quote:Whenever I lose interest in my own goals or lose my way etc, my family and my close friends cheer me up, which really works for me. It is very important for me to have good friends and surroundings around me!
Happy for you.

Hi there!
quote:No matter how peaceful you are, someone will come along, poke you until you're upset, and then blame you.
I think you're right.
quote:I completely forgot about artistic ability. When I was younger, I would paint when I was upset. After one cat died, I couldn't sleep, so I painted all night. Mum told me that it looked like where they'd buried him.I used to be very intuitive.
I used to be very intuitive.
Amazing story, and I totally believe you about your intuition.
quote:Like Gemini isn't going to have anyone bring them down - until Pisces Mars finally just has to cry.
It's the same in reverse...Gemini Mars is tough but once in a long while, the Pisces moon just falls apart. And I've almost lost it in grocery stores just looking at tabloids. Like, those planets finally cooperate to let me have some catharsis, but STILL in an awkward way.
@ikja
I envy your moon-Mars in Aries. How kickas$!
quote:I am someone who likes to start and finish things quickly. I like getting things done right the first time and get quite irritated when I have to repeat things. I'm definitely a leader and take the lead in most projects ordering people around
*cries* This is how I would be if I could just snap my fingers and be a certain way.
@CosmiqPhuz
quote:. I like to figure things out on my own instead of being taught someone else's method.
Do you feel like you have an intuitive advantage...that your moon informs your Mars about how something can be done the best way, for you?
@next to neptune

Me, too. Pisces moons aren't going to let people down if we can help it....

I never thought of it that way before, but you know what? I think you're right. In my case it's true. Some people flake out when they're angry...but I become like a laser beam. My moon knows Mars very well, in other words.
I'm always happy to see you've posted something ~ love your insights!
quote:In fact, it makes me very sensitized /reactionary towards every close relationship I have.
Ugh...me, too. Nobody knows I'm a b*tch quite the way my loved ones do. Not that I'm a hag...just, they see me at my worst.
quote:But also increases the need for physical stimulation too; sex,exercise etc.
Really interesting...yes, I can see why that would be the case.

Me too!!! As I was saying above, I like to work a lot all at once when I'm in the mood, to make up for when I'm not.
quote:I lose interest only when the goal that's been targeted,is not broken down to pieces.
So logical. But oh, you have that Capricorn Mercury to keep you ticking along...
quote:For instance, I'll meet someone new and can readily tell within minutes if I'll be good friends with them.
Interesting! Though...as we were saying recently on the Cancer vs. Pisces moon thread...Cancer moons are better at conserving their emotions and investing in people they like. As a Pisces moon I can see things up front, all the obnoxious tidbits and everything, but I'm always looking beyond that....I have this great curiosity that says, "What are you like, behind this annoying mask that you wear?" And often enough, I like what's behind the mask, and befriend that.
ETA: Though not always.
