Heya heya all ya'll - I recently found _Secrets From A Stargazer's Notebook_ by Debbie Kempton-Smith (surprisingly difficult to come across), and thought that I'd do the service of advertising it by way of writing out its alternately amusing and insightful (oftentimes both) Moon Sign descriptions - that, and I couldn't get to sleep and grew tired of just *lying there*. Enjoy. 
---------------------------------------------------------------- (..) The sign the Moon is in shows the style in which you need things. Moon in Aries, for example, wants everything NOW. You can't wait to have your needs fulfilled.
The house the Moon is in shows the kind of stuff you need in the world. Moon in the fifth house needs love, needs to be original and creative, and needs to be a little childish. If you have an eleventh house Moon and no friends, you're in trouble. You won't be able to fulfill your goals in life unless the emotional side of your life is satisfied first. (...) IP: Logged |

MOON IN ARIES, MOON IN THE FIRST HOUSE
Where's the fire? Aries Moon knows. Usually he's already there, a box of matches in one hand and a fire extinguisher in the other. He may have started that blaze himself, as it happens. He knows how to finish it, too, with firecrackers and exploding, bomb-bursting extravaganza. This Moon position loves trouble. The loftier types love to rescue folks in trouble. It's a Girl and Boy Scout Moon.
Hair-trigger reaction time makes this gang unique. In fact these guys feel that life itself is an emergency; they aim to get the everloving most out of every moment. No one is so ready to go to war for a Noble Cause - every one of them is a potential chivalrous soldier. And if you are lucky enough to be their friend, they will even fight a noble war for you...again and again.
Passion cooks in these people. Men with this Moon like their women hot and sassy, then invariable want to tame them. If the poor woman won't be tamed, the Aries Moon man stumbles about in a befogged state of exasperation; if he does manage to subdue her, he gets bored!
Aries Moon women are male chauvinists, too. They're surprised when you tell them they're competitive. According to one astrological sage, they secretly want the man to take charge while they shout, "No!" He's right. These women like to keep on a selection of male "buddies" to joke around with. They are deeply horrified when outsiders misconstrue these friendships, believing there's romance in them. This is the most naive Moon of the bunch. It's a Pollyanna Moon.
They are horrible listeners because they're always waiting to butt in with their tuppence worth. They need to learn that people will like them more if they SLOW DOWN and RESPOND to what you said before they go racing on to the next idea.
Aries Moon does hear you, though. They just think fast. They don't know they're being rude.
It's easy to sell them something if you remember that their deepest need is for you to like them. So just act as if you won't like them if they don't buy. They know you're just spooking them, but it rattles them just the same. They feel with their egos and live in the future; they're brave and restless and always have heroes and villains.
Restless, Lordy, are they restless. Egocentric? They are self-centered beyond belief. They take everything personally. Have them stand alone on a building top or let them brag about how cool they are when they feel blue. They'll soon be cheerful again.
Oh, the fire? They know its true location is in the heart.

MOON IN TAURUS, MOON IN THE 2ND HOUSE
The second-best listeners of the zodiac. You can say absolutely anything. Beat on their chests and scream, "You brute! You brute!" - they take it all calmly and quietly. There is something about the way they listen, something solid, like talking to a brick wall.
If they are ever shocked, they don't show it much. Nothing in their manner has ever yet proved that they are shockable as far as I can see. They soothe you the way they listen.
Moon in Taurus folks handle Scorpios very well. They are great to go to for a good sob. They have shocking friends.
You can ruffle them, though. Take away their comforts and their money and their food. Let it bleed!
This is Reliable Roger, whom you can generally trust for a meal or a place to stay. They try to telephone around the time they said they would and have a good reason if they don't.
Common sense appeals to them, so sell them the practical side of what you are proposing. They need a base of operations or they're lost. Don't talk fancy to them. You are the man in the street, and you know they want results from what you are proposing. Give them a lot of information. Stress how much easier and more comfortable they will be when they feel more secure.
When they get bluesy they need to have their things around them. They go mad when their bodies aren't comfortable. They get attached to their stuff, and buying things cheers them up. They see the God in beautiful objects. If you're a guest in their house, try not to handle all their stuff. They hate that; it brings out the possessive streak in them.
Pry them out of the house with a can opener if you can. It is of little use getting them to come to you. Nearly always they, especially the older ones, want you to go to their house instead. One way to get them to come to you is if you send a car to pick them up and promise them a huge dinner. Mention the potatoes you're serving on the side. Taurus' symbol is not really a bull's head, it is a baked potato.
Most of them are money magnets. They learn quickly how to get it and how to hang onto it, too. Somehow they always have plenty, although it's not ever enough for them.
They need to sing and show off their good voices. Touching is an all important part of their life's pleasures. Cuddling is the other part.IP: Logged |

MOON IN GEMINI, MOON IN THE THIRD HOUSE
Omigawd, do they ever stop learning? This specimen does not merely understand media. They are little radios which jabber, jabber, jabber all day long. It's comforting mostly. Radios are handy to take along with you, and when you feel worn out, you can tune out for a bit. When you tune back in, there they are, chirping away at amazing speed, fierce and furious. They simply need to express themselves.
Is your jabberwocky pal depressed? Get your friend to talk about it. That's all these folks need to do; it makes them feel better straight away. Putting them in motion works. Pop them on a buss or a plane, or stick them in a car and drive round in different neighborhoods for awhile.
Want to sell them something, even yourself? Variety will get you everywhere. Change topics every ninety seconds, three minutes at most. If yours is a long spiel, pop in a wee item of unrelated trivia every so often. Their high-speed minds need those commercial breaks. Good talkers impress them. You have to be pretty good to keep up with them, and if you're not glib, kick back and listen. They won't even notice.
Gemini Moon people need a daily paper, telephone calls, magazines, a chat with the lady next door; they love to be known in their own neighborhood, and they get friendly fast with the local shopkeepers. They like the television set on, even with the sound turned off. The more aesthetic ones find comfort in non-stop music. Thy trash and thy trivia, it comforts them.
And what an ear for accents, buzz-words, and slang! They like to be up-to-date on the newest of everything.
How about their friends, then? Here we witness the famous "flexible value system." This Moon position shows a constantly expanding curiosity about how other people live their lives. It enables them to count among their friends priggish pastors, porn moviemakers, bankers, winos, saints, poodle breeders, the complete boiling range of human society. This ability to travel lightly amongst all walks of life is unique to them.
They take a risk, though. Some of the more superficial or unsavory values of their buddies may - and the usually do - rub off on them. They're flexible as oily eels, though, and they know to keep their traps shut when amongst their gangster buddies. This does not do a lot for their Spiritual Evolvement, but it does keep them out of concrete overcoats. Weirdo friends keep their lives piquant.
Teachers, talkers, and writers they are, every one of them. They come by it so naturally, they usually take these gifts for granted. It surprises them that these skills are so special.
Cruel gossips are numbered among this Moon position. They think they are merely being witty and interesting. Why then are they so cagey about telling you the minutiae of their own private lives?
They must learn to listen without adding their choicest bon mots to your story. They do have empathy, lots of it, for the other guy's predicament, but sometimes their harsh witticisms belie this. You can say one thing for them, though. They're never dull. And they will even befriend a bore if the bore has some free time and a car to ride in.

MOON IN CANCER, MOON IN THE FOURTH HOUSE
Consider this wry tract from an advertisement in California:
"Do you enjoy petting your dog? Do you enjoy playing with your children? Do you have a marriage and not a "relationship"? Then you belong to the Dull Men's Club."
And they're swamped with requests from women wanting to join. So far no dice. Men only. Their happy motto is "Out of it and proud of it."
This here is a wonderful Moon position, the best listener in the zodiac. While a Taurus Moon will eventually try to hush you up, the Moon in Cancer native lets you cry and cry and then says sweet profound true things to you. Weep and they jump. They really care about people and spring to action fast when you're in distress. "I'll fix it up," they say, and they do.
They make excellent shrinks and parents because they let you be. Of course there's a catch. You have to belong to them.
Letting go is not their big virtue. Most of them have hang-ups that stem from childhood attachments to one of the parents. The men in particular seem to suffer more from this attachment, usually to the mother. God help any woman in a Cancer Moon's life if he had a rotten relationship with his mother! No one is meaner to his woman than a man with Moon in Cancer, and he won't let go of her, either. Do these men ever live to regret it!
Men with this Moon need to learn to stop being ashamed of their sentimental, clingy emotions. Both sexes are moody and wrestle with themselves to avoid becoming too babyish and needy. When they act too slushy, others can see them as drips. It's a fine line, but better slush than toughing it out with a crabby shell to protect the old emotions. Those emotions always get out somehow, anyway. Cancer Moon people have the best shot of the Moon signs at expressing their feelings, and they should.
It's a shame so many of them are rooted in habits and traditions from the past that prevent them from breaking free of fears into a happier state of being. They get so brainwashed in childhood that many exhibit an irrational, "Do it because I say so," mentality. A pity because they are the best equipped of all the moon signs to clean up their problems. They get their feelings hurt quickly, acutely and honestly - instant pain, and with help, instant release from pain. A little sensible help can relieve them from carrying around lifetimes of grief baggage.
The attachment to the old ways has to be broken consciously. Otherwise the women pout, and the men turn their wives into mothers.
I suppose they hang on to hurts because even the hurt is a part of the person they love, and their love runs deep. Love never dies for them, either, no matter how the beloved treats them.
Home and family mean the world to them. They need to belong somewhere. They need to have a safe feeling in their homes. Owning land makes them feel secure, too. Food or drink will always stabilize their wiggly feelings.
Before you feel too sorry for these tender, touchy folk, one caveat - they always set their lives up just the way they want them.
When selling to them, sell them security. They just hate to think of anyone being insecure. Just be yourself. It doesn't hurt to walk into their office tapping your white stick, though.

MOON IN LEO, MOON IN THE FIFTH HOUSE
"There's something very naked about the bath water if you don't put bubbles in it," says the woman with the Moon in Leo.
Big baby Leo Moons got big baby needs. This baby need love, need attention, need respect, need applause, need human beings to laugh at their jokes. Big baby Leo Moon need never grow up, need lovely music, need lobster thermidor, need small parties, need favorite drinks to drink, need tall outrageous tales, need mate to wait on baby Moon when baby feel sick. Wait on hand and foot for baby Moon. Baby need to act pompous and aloof when pride hurt; big baby Leo Moon got lost of pride to get hurt. Need loyal pals go hell and back to show love for big baby Leo Moon. Big baby Leo Moon need all these things or baby curl up and die right now!!!
So, why isn't this Moon position crazy about kids?
CHORUS: Because they ARE kids!!!
Thank you. It is a dramatic Moon, you know. Regal, too. They have a way of inspiring needs in their subjects.
They like to keep a little distance at first. If someone wants to develop an intimacy, it develops slowly. They can and do it hit it off with people right away. Just be honest about yourself for anything you're trying to sell them. They can't abide tall tales. They tell a few themselves, you see. Hate to see it in other people.
When hard times come, do they ever know how to cheer themselves up! They don't exactly enjoy pain, but there's something almost sensual about melancholy. Life gets profound, then it's the world's problem. It's raining just for them. Then they do the I Ching, buy themselves a little something, eat alone in restaurants , whatever papers them and adds to the drama. They don't want strangers to know they're suffering - it's embarrassing. And they don't want pity from acquaintances! Sympathy from close friends is okay. But they won't talk about it unless you do.
The need for loyalty can work out a little strangely. A Leo Moon client, typically warm, loving and creative, told me about the last date she had with her lover. They were in bed.
"You know," she said prettily, "it doesn't really matter that you went to bed with somebody else."
"That's good," said her fellow. "Because I just spent the hole day making love with Evelyn."
My client sat up. "You know," she said prettily. "I was wrong."
She waited until he turned round; then she slugged him in the jaw.
Moon in Leo is chivalrous. It's not fair, she said, to hit him from behind.
She gathered up her clothes and went downstairs to the telephone, called her friend, a man who had wanted her for months; then she got dressed. By the time she got her shoes on, the taxi was waiting.
Her friend was waiting, too. Someone will always be waiting for this beautiful woman, for, like her Moon position, she is beautiful inside and out.

MOON IN VIRGO, MOON IN THE SIXTH HOUSE
Ah, sweet obsession. You can tell me why these guys grind over every achin' detail until their cronies turn to stone.
They need to pick it all apart, every last iota. They can't move on until they do, or until something or someone kicks their ass and hollers, "Get OFF it!"
Don't do it too soon, though. They need to pick, pick, pick at the problems of daily life the way you or I pick at a nasty bit of needlepoint. And then Lo! the problem comes undone and the day saves itself.
Deep thinkers, these guys. They all love housework. It relieves them of the puritan work/guilt ethic that tells them they should always be doing something, and it frees their minds to do more thinking.
Oh, do they ever have secret disgusting habits! They'll never tell you what they are, of course, and perhaps they merely sniff the pits of their shirts and dresses before deciding whether or not to hang them back in the cupboard. Some of them, though, some of them, get caught up with grotty handkerchiefs or worse - like using the dishrag to wipe the kitchen floor, or collecting boogies on the side of the bedsheets. Rare, thank God.
The opposite extreme is just as annoying. They may empty the ashtrays on the half hour or not let you have a bite of their lasagna. Well now, they do hate germs. They are awfully good at losing the cap to the toothpaste, and it is this that lands them in Divorce Court.
This need to analyze calms them down. They prefer small cities and small towns, too. They need to look at a bit of green grass. If they seem freaked out to you, throw them in a bath and lay out some clean clothes. As soon as they've had their shower, they are ready for the Revolution.
Good luck with your sales pitch. Expect to make it more than once. Have all the details at hand. Let hem worry over it for a while. Come back and start again. Shoot the breeze a little, too. Stress the practical benefits. When you see that worried look on their faces and the shaking of their heads, they're about to say, "Maybe."
Work is a god to them, and they love it best. Don't worry, they'll love you best too as long as you've got some worries for them to help with. They need to help. At worst, they'll pick on you until you need help. Then they turn 180 degrees and start fixing you up again.
Hypochondria keeps them going to a ripe old age. There's a delicate awareness of their bodies, and this fine tuning responds well to chiropractors, masseurs, and pizza.
Let them have their precious little routines. Once they've lined up all the toothbrushes exactly right every morning, they're just like you and me.

MOON IN LIBRA, MOON IN THE SEVENTH HOUSE
Most of all they need a mate. A best friend, business partner, or buddy will do. They spoil you with attention and are frighteningly dependant upon having someone to love.
The men devastate women because they understand their own refined "feminine" feelings. In fact, they seem to relate better to women than men. The women always have their pick of men; they seem to be able to present themselves in a fluffy, fascinated package. They are smart; they are soft, and they listen, listen, listen. This reminds me of Tom Wolfe's definition of what young ladies learn to do in finishing school: "Are you rilly an architect? Are you rilly a Senator?"
Oh, this gang picks up every subtle nuance of what you're talking about. Their radar is made of feathers. It's important to them to have a placid appearance, yet inside, a lot of the time, they feel hysterical. They feel as if their hearts are on springs. They not only react to you - they react to how you react.
These sweet people have only one vice: they make Minnie the Moocher look like a philanthropist. No other Moon sign matches this one's excellence at wheedling goodies out of you and making you think it was all your idea. You feel like a king when you pick up the check. And the next one. And the next one. They are successful where Moon in Capricorn fails - using people cleverly. They owe you a couple grand? You'd feel like a monster for bringing the subject up. Deep down they're secretly convinced that you should feel honored to have their company. Deeper down they're depressed and frightened at how much they need you; dependency is the desperate racket they run to keep you under their thumbs. It's called the Tyranny of the Weak, and if you're close to a Libra Moon person, you have no doubt heard of it.
Selling something? Dress well, lots of jewelry, too. Mention the big shots you know, hint at parties, but in an off-the-cuff, low-key manner. These guys love celebrities. In other cases you can stress the benefits of what you're selling to the rest of their families or associates. Libra Moons need to make other people happy. If you or your product is beautiful, it doesn't hurt, either.
Don't underrate this Moon sign when it comes to romance. They give you the best gift of all - themselves, wholeheartedly. They get stepped on for their kindnesses, so be kind and watch them blossom. They need compliments and flattery daily, but they give in return as well. They need compliments and flattery daily, but they give in return as well. They get to know you and tailor their praise to what they think you want to hear. They're right. Keep a Virgo, Capricorn, or a Scorpio around as a secondary sounding board or these Moons will softly lull you with a stream of adoring yesses. Sounds awful, doesn't it?
The line forms right here.IP: Logged |

MOON IN SCORPIO, MOON IN THE EIGHTH HOUSE
Next to a Capricorn Moon, Scorpio is traditionally presumed to be one of the more twisted Moons you can buy.
If being passionate, caring, profound, creative, and sexy is twisted, I'm ready to leap into the pretzel machine in the next sixty seconds. This may be a tough Moon sign, because the challenge is nothing less than mastery of the self.
Ach, and here's the rub! So many of us are threatened by displays of deep emotion that Scorpio Moons learn to hide their feelings when they are young. By the time they grow up, they've gotten good at hiding their reactions from you. What's unfortunate is that they have also learned to hide their reactions from themselves.
The men, especially, need a woman who's a bit of a psychologist, someone patient enough - and tough and fearless enough! - to help them to dig out the feelings they're so afraid to show.
The trickiest game they play boils down to a recurring, hidden script: "I dare you to guess what I need. I'll drag a red herring all over your path so you can't figure me out. And if you're not clever enough or caring enough to guess, I won't let you in."
Sometimes they use drugs, alcohol, or sneaky affairs to fool themselves that they are coping with themselves. Eventually their inherent intelligence decides to take over and in a swoop they give up their smoke-screen vices. You can't make them do it. But when they are ready, this Moon has the most courage and more will power than all the other signs put together. It isn't that they need courage to give up affairs or drugs or drink; it's the courage to look the fears in the face, fears that create need for vices.
They're fun to sell to. Let it be noble, let it be bizarre. Hang in tough, present your wares in a matter-of-fact manner. A take-it-or-leave-it stance seems to work the best. This Moon thinks it's John Wayne. He likes anyone who acts proud, talks tough, and walks tall.
You can tell these hip-shooters anything. They keep secrets.
Crisis is their favorite hobby. Give them some extreme situation, and they're in their element - Rocks of Gibraltar. They will create a crisis, or at least a burst into tears every so often, in order to release the steam that builds up inside. Police work, psychology, and rescue missions are all part of their talents.
Once they understand that they perceive even ordinary everyday occurrences as threats to their own authority, there is a chance of draining off some of the poisonous paranoia that plagues these frightened people. They need to feel in control so badly that they fail to see what's really going on. Then they strike out, cruelly, to let you know how badly you've hurt their feelings.
A day dawns when it occurs to them that it's okay to have vulnerable feelings and that sharing those feelings with someone you trust is the best protection against not getting hurt.
Until that day they live out their emotional days alone.

MOON IN SAGITTARIUS, MOON IN THE NINTH HOUSE
That ol' debbil rubber Moon! God, you can do what you like to these soulful folks, but they'll always come bouncing back like boppo toys and praising your name to boot! Sock 'em in the jaw, pop them in their snot-box, and they just roll on back with that smile still on their faces.
We should all be so lucky to have this big-hearted Moon; it's a guarantee of deep reservoirs of faith and resilience. Who can keep them down? Who'd be mean enough to try, especially as these folks are so much fun to be around? They're not afraid to throw their money around, either, when they've got it. They love to be generous to other people, and in return they are surrounded by a crowd of chattering, devoted loonies.
And funny? They invented comedy - timing is their forte. After a couple of beers they'll start improvising, and they're damned good at it, too. It's no wonder they make friends fast and keep them a long time.
Drawbacks - well, there are a few. If something goes wrong, it's the other guy's problem. This Moon position is inclined to be a Grade A rationalization expert. They don't like things to, ah, get heavy. They're terrified of treadmills. As long as they feel they're on their way somewhere, they're okay. They dislike facing the truth about themselves and their childish refusal to act like responsible grown-ups. Let's just not look at that. What are you trying to do, spoil their fun? Let someone else carry the dull routine part of the work load. That's life after all - Scoobie-doobee-doo!
If there's a big problem, it makes sense to them to get their plimsoles on and scoot along to the next adventure. Some of them do. If they stay to work things through, it's usually because they have High-Minded Principles. This self-righteousness may bore you, but it's comforting to know that they care about doing The Right Thing. Being Right is their favorite pastime. They will tell you what's good for you before they've gotten to know the problem! This Moon position needs to preach.
They are better salesmen than you are, but they can never resist you if you ask for their advice. I have never met one Moon in this sign or house who did not have an evangelical streak. If they don't want your product, they'll help you find another customer. They don't live unless they give. Their feelers are in the future, and "keep on truckin" is their credo.
If your favorite clown's got the blues, get him into a religious or ethical argument. Philosophy cheers them up. Pass the hat and take up a collection to buy them a plane ticket somewhere. Even reading foreign newspapers cheers this lot up. Perhaps their reach exceeds their grasp, but they think people get a lot farther with that philosophy. It's exasperating to admit it, but they're right again.
They give good advice.

MOON IN CAPRICORN, MOON IN THE TENTH HOUSE
When somebody with the Moon in Capricorn starts being especially nice to you, always ask yourself "What do they want?" Might as well ask what a rabid crocodile wants when he licks his chops. The answer is the same in both cases. He wants blood.
I know it's nasty, but that's how these people operate. You'll save yourself a lot of confusion if you define the terms of the relationship from the start. It's the ugliest Moon sign of the lot. This specimen believes that the world is such a harsh place that the means justify the ends - and if that means taking something away from you, even if you're more deserving, that's just tough.
The most hideous effect they have on other people is this using capacity. Only the Moon in Capricorn acts this way - any other plane or point in Capricorn is fine. Why are these Moons so twisted? Mostly you can trace a cold, childish, selfish mother figure. Sometimes Mother died when the child was young. These people never got decent values or adequate emotional nurturing when they were children. They have all lost their mothers in some way. Parents wanted them to push, push, push in society and never mind whose head you have to walk on to get at the Big Chance. Only when you become a Big Shot, says Mummy, will I love you. Is it any wonder so many successful people have Moon in Capricorn? And that the rest of the Capricorn Moons live desperate, fearful lives of isolation and failure? A Capricorn Moon may seem to be better at something than you are, but this isn't as likely as the cold fact that they want it worse than anyone. Adolf Hitler had this Moon.
Somewhere under that heart of cardboard is a conscience, though. Capricorn Moons always unconsciously set themselves up to get cracked right in the teeth by their nasty ambitious boomerangs. They always get clobbered badly, but you shouldn't hold your breath waiting. Stop them in their tracks before they rip too many people off, including you. They have a wide circle of "friends" (whom they secretly consider to be their inferiors) to whom they moan and groan about how depressing and hard life is. They don't have patience for your sad story, though - they might get sucked into your depression, and they've got better things to do!
Selling them is easy. Just find out what they want, and make them pay for it, like Mother did.
All right, there is another side to Moon in Capricorn. Those black-dog depressions lead to not a little profundity, even wisdom. If you don't mind waiting a couple of centuries for the buggers to trust you, they will reward you by acting loyal, hard-working, and responsible. They're not afraid to work.
These emotionally-guarded paranoids have a deep yearning for love, but they're not giving it away. You must earn it. When they fall in love, they give their hearts for life. Maybe their love goes deepest of all the signs, but they'd rather show it in material ways. They want your slush, but they'll be damned if they embarrass themselves showing their vulnerability...Chickens!!! Forgive them - 'twas the doing of Mommie Dearest.
Once in a while you find a sweetie with a Moon in Capricorn; then you can be sure you're dealing with what the young bores over at the Unification Church call an "Old Soul". Robert and Susan, you're okay sweethearts...but look out for the other, "Young Soul" types!
Abe Lincoln is the best example of Moon in Capricorn's most surprising and enduring trait - a dray, wry sense of humor. Someone in a crowd heckled Abe one time, calling him two-faced.
"I leave it to you," quipped Abe, our finest stand-up comic President. "If I had two faces, would I be wearing this one?"

MOON IN AQUARIUS, MOON IN THE ELEVENTH HOUSE
The most unreasonable of "reasonable" people. These folks don't have blood in their veins, it's Xerox copy fluid. To say that the feelings do not run deep here would not be entirely accurate. They do have feelings, and they do run deep. Deep as the kitchen sink!
Call this a Mr. Spock Moon and leave it at that. They think feelings are supposed to be "logical". Check their ears for points on the tips.
They are great friends and need to have friends that they would do anything for. You can tell them anything, and they'll understand. They are utterly honest and trustworthy, fair, reasonable, and straightforward...getting bored?
Most of them are awfully bright. They can talk for long periods without using the personal pronoun "I," which is why they have so many friends. They love to hear about science, need gadgets, and have to have their own systems for doing things - their way.
Once in a blue moon they get hysterical, and then no one around them can figure quite what went wrong. This is Moon in Aquarius suddenly getting in touch with their personal feelings. It is quite a sight, and everyone rushes to help out. Moon in Aquarius likes this, and calms down around friends.
Dreams are what they need badly. They can happily live in, ah, eccentric surroundings if they have a Noble Rationale. Getting them to see how to get to this goal and not just talk about it is another thing. They love to talk and spin daydreams about the ideal world. The most beautiful side to this Moon is the need to make the world a better place, right here and now. They need to feel that all the people of the world are their brothers and sisters. The perverted Moon in Aquarius types are bigots, but they don't start out life that way.
If you have something to sell, approach them in a friendly, low-pressure manner. Soft sell is the only way to get these people to respond. If you can be funny, that's even better. They need quite a lot of weirdness and manage to have it one way or another. Emphasize your unique, even eccentric qualities, and don't pressure. Talk a lot about freedom. They love and need space. Don't get too personal at first. They regard it as a sign of bad breeding. A cool approach is best, and showing your brains never hurts.
The Moon in Aquarius gang aren't impressed by traditional male-female role models much. The women aren't much interested in cooking, and the men make a fairly good job of it. One couple I know, both with many planets in Aquarius including the Moon, keep a stack of paper plates in the kitchen, next to the plastic silverware. When they finish dinner, they just chuck the entire works away. Housework ain't their favorite hobby. They'd rather think and read.
Odd then, when you discover how irrationally loyal these folks can be. Cool and detached they may be, but they stick like glue to the people they love and respect. They stay in situations long past what others could handle and put up with - is it bravery or fear of intimacy?IP: Logged |

MOON IN PISCES, MOON IN THE TWELFTH HOUSE
They are wells. And like wells, they have everything to give. A well runs deep. Don't expect to fathom it entirely. These people are complicated. They have odd ways of isolating themselves from the mainstream of life. They are too psychic for anybody's good. So they take the phone off the hook once in a while. It's hell going out in the street when the world seems harsh. At these times they need an aide-de-camp just to accompany them. They're deeply frightened at such moments, but don't you be fooled. Underneath the fear is a curious bedrock courage. This is the flowing "water" sign Moon - water may be a drip, or it may be the mighty ocean, all-loving, sustainer of life.
People overlook this Moon's neuroses for a number of reasons; this Moon is sweet, sympathetic, and so damned good in bed. Oh, they can even be faithful in love if they have people to help and a Spiritual Goal and if you have lots of wigs and accents and imagination. And even then, at the peak of intimacy, they just float out into a private Disneyland and leave you with the body, while the soul has Gone Elsewhere. They're psychic, y'know. Tarot cards, astrology, the I Ching all appeal to them. They like to talk to God, but it's got to be private.
Don't you go grinding them down with your troubles and then take these kindly souls for granted. They get depressed after friend No. 92 has rung up with her difficulties. Let them wallow in self-pity a little. They need lots of sympathy when they're depressed, that and reassurance. Remember that well. Fill them back up with barrelsful of confidence. Their biggest enemy is self-doubt.
Call them the bleeding hearts of the zodiac. Scruple-free manipulators see them as suckers for a sob story. Snake-oil salesmen love them: all they do is twirl out a subtle and sad innuendo of inner torment and this Moon's hooked - or in love!
Would it surprise you to learn there is an extremely sneaky, downright tyrannical side to this Moon position?
"My Pisces Moon can't stand to see anyone suffering," says he, lurching out the door whilst you are in the middle of an asthma attack.
Do you know anybody who uses "sensitivity" to dominate the works? Ah, they're brokenhearted and can't be faithful! Oh, they're tired today and will you pick up a few things for them at the store? They rule the roost with their aches, pains, moans, groans, and alones. They just can't help themselves - so you go fetch!
Dare to gently enlighten them with a dab of common sense psychology. Hold the mirror of reality to them and they twist and cringe like vampire bats backing off from the light. The game they play is "Victim", yet most of these Moons yearn to break loose from their brain confusion. Tolerate their more charming weaknesses, and don't give them an inch if you see them slithering away from taking responsibility for their own lives. They like to blame Fate, or the Other Guy, for their troubles - they are terrified to think they control their destiny. Curiously, they're never ever depressed when they recognize their own bottomless strength and take charge. So throw a rope down that well and help them climb out.
These folks make the world soft for you and shower you with a million small kindnesses. If you're truly a strong person and do not mistake their kindness for weakness, treat them with the gentle handling they so richly deserve.IP: Logged |

WOW prox, thank you for sharing that. It was awsome.   I liked the description about having one of the more twisted moonsigns one could buy. That's great. Twisted is fun, even if challenging at times. Atleast it's not a cappy moon though. Whew. She really laid into them. Interesting to read though because this man that I have a big crush on right now is a Cappy moon. But he's a total sweetheart so according to Debbie he's an old soul.. Hmm. Innntresting. I wonder what some of the Leo moons around here think of their description? 
I thought it was very funny. Fit my best friend pretty well.

The Libra moon is described a moocher!  I can honestly say that I'm anything but a mooch. My moon conjuncts Pluto... would that make a difference? IP: Logged |
