What opens your heart, and where is your moon?

----

My guesses:

Aries moons are moved by people demonstrating greatness: courage in the face of adversity, especially in genuine warfare or physical emergencies. They want to see people setting higher standards in any area, working as hard as it takes to get there and reaping their just rewards. They love to see a peak performance and take pleasure in seeing things done in the best way. Any action that reflects long training and determination could make them happy.

Taurus moons are moved by beauty, touched by people who bring beauty closer to them and make them feel like they are within a kind of beautiful "aura." Their senses are highly attuned to emotion and memory and when they can tap into their storehouse of pleasurable times, bring it forward so it's somehow still present and relevant in the current time, they feel whole, filled, and aligned within themselves.

Gemini moons are profoundly affected by words and all manner of expression. The right word (exactly) for the mood and situation, a gesture that is perfectly on point with how they are thinking...that will elicit their emotions. They love having a "twin," someone they can say jinx with, be psychic with, understand on other levels. And also, allowing silence when the time calls for silence. Moving in tandem with someone else makes them happy.

Cancer moons want to nurture others and feel that others are nurturing them, even by anticipating their needs and supplying them in a subtle way. They don't need giant hugs and teddy bears all the time (but it might not hurt!) They can be smothering and get tired of people disliking that. Can you thank them for caring so damn much for you? If so, that will make them happy and heal them.

Leo moons want to shine, and feel moved by any display of greatness that resonates with them and reminds them of their own inner glory. They often do things behind-the-scenes as they may have gotten burned by being too attention-grabbing in their youth. Sometimes they just put something amazing out there and let the work speak for itself, and for them. Notice that, fully take notice, and their heart may swell.

Virgo moon just wants the dishes perfectly clean, is that really too much to ask for?
Kidding! =) Virgo moon loves order, they also love to help others. And they will find your weak spots and work to strengthen you in those areas. Demonstrate the healing they supplied you with and they are happy for you and for them. And it doesn't hurt if you are impeccably clean and smell good all the time. That never hurts.

Libra moon is moved by beauty. Art, music, theater. They value excellence and precision in movement and speech, even a common gesture can be elevated when it reflects perfect attentiveness. As Venusians they revel in whatever exalts the senses and may be moved to tears seeing something of value being threatened. For instance, I know one who cannot handle seeing animals in any pain whatsoever. The sight of gory roadkill may just ruin the day for this person.

Scorpio moon is affected by depth, the truth, the opening of vaults and reclaiming of that which has been hidden or deemed untouchable. They know death and pain inside out. People who can meet them on that level and don't flinch or run away will have resonance with them.

Sag moon is affected by inspiration, that is their currency, they take it in and give it out, like breathing. Whatever is mundane, they lift, change, or carefully step over. Transactions with them are meant to give each person a greater sense of the grandeur of life. They are asking you what you see that is so grand? And telling you what they know about grandeur.

Capricorn moon is about solidity and longevity. What is lasting, what is eternal? Their attention spans from ancient times far into the future. They want to align themselves with timeless values. Once they do, whatever they see that reinforces their values and suggests the triumph of those values will elicit an emotional response.

Aquarius moon wants everything to be sensible and intelligent. Logic moves them. Things clicking into place make them happy. If their mental systems of organization enable them to predict outcomes, and prepare for things in advance, they are gratified when things play out as they foresaw, and emotionally affected by the feeling that their minds have participated in all levels of an experience, including its preparation and outfalling. They permeated the whole thing and then it "sings" to them.

My moon square cap venus, so often their wants and needs clash. But there's a few things that get both going, like a *fighter* reaping his/her rewards or standing up again after getting beaten down. Bloody, but unbowed, and still can laugh a loud, winning laugh. Nothing smells sweeter than courage and determination.

Oh I didn't mean dirty talk.

I meant someone speaking WELL, intelligently.

Thanks for your feedback.

Well I know that, but even speaking intelligently doesn't really appeal to me much. Intellectual stimulation is important but I can attribute that to my Aqua Stellium.

Pluto doesn't want to agree lol.

Aries moons are cool and my Aries Jupiter understands them a bit, on a fundamental level!

K, so you consider yourself more like a Plutonic moon person. Perhaps it's because you are in a Plutonian situation?

Cap and Libra Moons, respectively.

My husband's Aquarius Mars and Sag Asc are a bit conflicted on all of that, but his Cap Moon is a good one, and mixes well with his H8 Sun. If it holds no spiritual validity, he can be quick to dismiss it. The same goes for the things he collects (primarily guns and knives, which are always unloaded and locked in a safe). He waited A YEAR for a handmade knife to be ordered, made, and delivered once. He also prefers to make as much of our furniture as he's able, because it's sturdier than what you would buy in the store for our budget.

Anyway...yes, my Libra Moon son.
He loves everything of softness and beauty (he also has a Taurus Sun and Mars), but when it comes to animals he is so very protective, and he puts colors together so beautifully when he paints, without even thinking about it. He's fascinated by my scarves, and any Eastern fabrics I have laying around the house. He also LOVES music, and makes up songs, sings the ones we listen to a lot, and seems to have a lovely voice...again, without much effort.

I understand, your moon is a bit tricky with all those aspects to it.

My question is, what moves you, if you're comfortable talking about it?

Are there just "ordinary" things that happen, that trigger a deeper emotional response? Like, things you might see on TV?

EDIT: Oh, you were writing when I was.

Omg THIS! You nailed my moon to a T!

What opens my heart? I haven't been paying attention to the specifics really, but I've noticed that being persistent can pay off every now and then. If someone shows me that I'm worth the effort to them, my heart opens up. Basically, I feel more comfortable around you if you don't disappear after five minutes of talking to me.

I didn't know you were a Leo moon. But I'm remembering the picture you posted of yourself here, where you look absolutely perfect. And yes....that's what I mean about Leo moon. Just shining like crazy, leaving no room for doubt about their capabilities.

Being a Leo Moon (also having other planets in Leo and a strongly fire dominant natal chart) I find this to be very very true!

I want to add that in spite of having square of moon-uranus moon-pluto, i resonate pretty much with the description.

I can relate to this I think because I have a tight trine between my moon and my Mars.
