Moon in Aries

You are a quick thinker, talker, and large-scale planner, but you may need help with specific details. Lunar Ariens are often starters rather than runners, so you may be happoier as an executive rather than as an ordinary worker. You may be a tough go-getter, but your confidence can evaporate quickly and you need the support and admiration of others.
Women with this moon placement may value a career highly. You can be enthusiastic, headstrong and freedom-loving, unable to accept restrictions or unnecessary discipline. Your love life may be stormy, either because you are changeable and easily bored or becasue you are unwilling to compromise. However, you are probably honest and don't try to manipulate others.
Moon in Aries people can be deft and dextrous, so your excellent co-ordination could make you successful at many sports.
The moon is a 'watery' planet, and when it is in a fire sign emotions can be expressed quickly and easily. Moon Ariens can therefore display a hot temper, although you usually cool down quickly and rarely sulk. It may be hard to get you to listen to others, as you tend to see everything from your own point of view, concentrating on your own emotional needs rather than those of others.
One problmem that seems to afflict those with the Moon in Aries is that of having a domineering or difficult parent, and the years from adolescence to independence are often characterized by shouting matches.

Moon in Taurus

This is supposed to be the most stable and comfortable placement for the moon, but you may only be really content when your life is in perfect working order. Although you may be able to deal with practical problems efficiently, when emotional problems come along you can fall apart dramatically. Many moon in Taurus people have a pleasant manner and are sociable, reliable and honest, needing a happy family life, a comfortable home and a good job. You would make a good parent and get on well with your family. You rarely lose contact with your children even when they become adults.
Lunar Taureans who are loving, affectionate and romantic can also be highly sexed. You may enter relationships with the best of intentions and only leave when there is no other recourse. You might not have many close friends, and if so, you might not always be generous with time or money to those outside your own circle. If posessive, jealous and stubborn, you need stability and will try hard to uphold the status quo. You may have a formidable temper and can become destructive when you feel threatened.
You can be tough but fair in business, and can have good luck financially, whether making money for yourself or working in an area where you handle large contracts worth a lot of money on behalf of others.
Most moon in Taurus subjects love music, gardening, anything to do with nature and the outdoors, and travelling.

Moon in Gemini

You probably have an active mind which may be academic, creative, imaginative or logical, depending upon other features in your birthchart. You may be dextrous and versatile and able to cope with most tasks around the home. You can work well under supervision, as long as you respect your superiors. Lunar Geminis who need to feel free may avoid getting involved in personal relationships altogether, but if you do marry you will probably need a practical but easy-going partner. You may enjoy mental pursuits such as reading books, playing games or using computers, or gentle sports such as snooker or golf.
Lunar Geminis often work in large organizations that provide a service to the public, such as banking or the travel trade, journalism or teaching, and you are likely to have many friends and accuaintances whom you met through your work. Lunar Geminis can be excellent teachers and make good parents, but women need the stimulation of a job outside the home. Both sexes are good home-makers, but may find it hard to relax as they are prone to worrying.
You may become the planner and thinker for your family and they may depend upon your fine logical mind.

Moon in Cancer

As the moon is the ruler of the sign of Cancer, it is at it's most comfortable in this sign and its intrinsic characteristics are heightened. Lunar Cancerians are often emotional, sensitive and moody. You can be imaginative and creative, and appreciate music and the arts. Being naturally intuitive, you can be drawn to psychic or mystical matters, but can be equally at home in the world of business and finance.
You can be emotionally demanding, requiring endless love and affection, often making your loved ones feel guilty for failing to meet your emotional demands. Sometimes you may even use emotional blackmail to get your own way. Not all lunar cancerians are this difficult, however, and you can be very supportive when in a happy relationship.
Lunar Cancerians tend to make good family members and excellent parents, and they are often drawn into teaching or take on a training role in the careers. Alternatively, they may work in one of the caring professions. You may be unwelcoming or suspicious of strangers, or simply shy and nervous. You can be shrewd in business matters which, coupled with your intuition and capacity for hard work, helps to make you very successful. You may not like taking chances and need financial and emotional security, planning well for your old age.
Your ideal holiday would be one where you can relax by the sea and take boat trips.

Moon in Leo

Moon in Leo subjects tend to have a sunny disposition and be friendly, welcoming and approachable. Rarely hostile or suspicious, you can be genuinely confident or simply able to put on a display of confidence when it is needed.
Loyal, loving and idealistic people rarely leave a relationship unless it becomes absolutely necessary. If you find yourself alone, you may attach yourself to a new family or form one again fairly quickly. You are likely to be happiest in both personal and business relationships where partners and colleagues understand and admire you.
Lunar Leos can put themselves, their partners or their children on a pedestal, expecting more than is possible from them. You can be excellent organizers who enjoy an orderly life, but you also have a tendency to be bossy and arrogant, while at other times being helpless- especially when ill. You take on responsibility well and make a good leader.
There are also likely to be times when you simply switch off and go through a period of relaxation and laziness. This is simply because you need to rest to stay healthy. You may feel that you are 'special' in some way, have a lot of style, and actually ahve some great talent or ability.
You often fuss and worry about your appearance, especially your hair, which may be long and full like a lion's mane.

Moon in Virgo

You may be keenly intellectual, discriminating and capable fo dealing with details. You can work hard at a project that interests you, but can also switch right off and become surprisingly lazy. The most important thing to bear in mind is that you can be emotionally containec. You might keep your emotions on such a tight leash that you never give yourself permission to express your real needs and feelings. If you don't find some form of emotional release, perhaps through group counselling, you could make yourself ill. Lunar Virgos can be embarassed by displays of emotion by other people, but you can put on a wonderful display of tears and temper yourself when in the mood to do so. You can also express negative emotions through being far too critical towards your loved ones.
Moon in Virgo folk are often interested in matters of health, hygiene, fitness, diet and alternative therapies. This might have been thrust upon you through some kind of long-term health problem, or simply derives from a life-long interest. Lunar Virgoans can be excellent cooks and home-makers, and may hate to live in a dirty or messy environment. If you are an animal lover, you probably have a pet of some kind around the house.
You work hard to provide the necessities of life for yourself and your family, but you may be too nervous, shy and sensitive to aim for a top job. In this case your ideal job would be one where you are appreciated by those above you and are also useful to the world in general. If you are shrewd and clever, and can make and keep money, you can also be a little stingy. Many lunar Virgoans work in the health field or in anything to do with books and information technology.

Moon in Libra

You can be charming, optimistic, outgoing and sociable. You may be a skilled and tactful diplomat who is popular at work and in all kinds of socail settings. Lunar Librans can appear weak or soft, but you can also be ambitious, hardworking and detmined, especially when you have a goal in sight. Those lunar Librans who don't like being alone for too long seek out company and need partnerships in business and personal life. You often have many friends and acquaintances. In earlier times, these people often married young, but nowadays they may try living with a series of partners until they find the right person to spend their lives with. You can be faithful when in a relationship, but may be extremely flirtatious.
You can be fussy about decor and colour schemes, and could make and excellent architect, interior designer or film-set or software designer. Your diplomatic skills could take you into agency work, marketing or any area that involves negotiating, where you can prove to be a surprisingly tough negotiator. Although happy and cheerful most of the time, you can be unpleasant, sarcastic and downright nasty when someone really upsets you. You may be arrogant, and can argue the hind leg off a donkey, never backing down from a fight. For all your fussiness, you can be untidy, especially when busy working. Many lunar Librans are musical or artistic.
You may spend your life seeking perfection either in the form of an ideal home or a perfect lover.

...okay, my hands are tire. I'll finish later....

The Libra Moon applies to me as well, being at the 29th degree of Virgo. For a long time, many years ago, I always thought I had a Libra moon because that's what all of the books said when I looked it up. But thanks to a good astrologer I found out my true moon sign. But I switch between a Virgo and Libra moon. Not fun. This part is right on for the Libra moon.

That could also be from other factors in my chart though.

Moon in Scorpio

Whenever the moon is in a water sign the emotions are intense, and in Scorpio they can be either well-hidden or very close to the surface. If you are the inward-looking type, you will take your feelings seriously; if you are let down in love, you can drive your friends and family crazy by continually harping on about your disappointment. Conversely, you might never mention your troubles but allow them to fester.
Lunar Scorpios can be moody, secretive and hard to understand. While you never forget a hurt, you can also be intensely loyal and loving to those who are good to you, and won't readily forget favours or obligations. You hate to owe money, and do not care for those who borrow from you and then fail to pay you back.
Lunar Scorpios may do best when allied to a cheerful, capable and emotionally stable partner, but your vulnerability can lead you to select a sensitive or even chaotic mate. Although stubborn and inclined to stick with your choices, you can be driven to leave a relationship. However, many lunar Scorpios do learn from their mistakes and go on to make better choices in the future. Sex can be used (or withdrawn) as a weapon. Magnetic, determined and sometimes manipulative, you can be extremely fascinating. Your intense nature can be relieved by a terrific sense of humor, a wonderful sense of justice and a fondness for the underdog in any situation. Lunar Scorpios can be strangely sympathetic, and they are often deeply loving.

Moon in Sagittarius

A disproportionate number of people with the moon in Sagittarius work in the psychic field, and many are excellent astrologers, dowsers, palmists and just about anything else with an intuitive slant. It seems that the Sagittarian urge to explore takes an inward turn when the moon is in this sign, leading you to seek enlightenment at a deep inner level. Superficially, luanr Sagittarians can be optimistic, outgoing and friendly. You may travel a great deal, or may have strong connections with people from different cultures. Some lunar Sagittarians feel the need to contact as many people as they can during their lifetime, so this may lead you to choose jobs in such areas as broadcasting, teaching or travel- astrology is a great way of meeting people, of course.
Lunar Sagittarians who need personal freedom can find marriage or a permanent commitment too confining, but you can sustain friendships for years. You may be better at friendship than marriage, and if so, you probably manage to maintain friendly relationships with ex-partners and their extended families throughout your life. You are usually fond of animals, especially cats and horses, and probably have a pet.
You may find it hard to stick to a job, but if you can find one that is interesting and varied enough for your tastes, you will stay with it. You can be surprisingly ambitious and competitive, which may lead you into a sporting or competition- based lifestyle.

Moon in Capricorn

Lunar Capricorns may be extremely shy and uncertain when it comes to making friends or enjoying any kind of social life. If you find someone to love and care for, you can overcome this, gain courage and confidence and open up to others later on. You may choose an older partner who has the maturity you need, and possibly one who will also mother or father you. Lunar Capricorns may do well in their career, taking work a little too seriously at times, but nevertheless often enjoying the success and financial rewards that it brings. Alternatively, you might never really get a proper career off the ground, preferring to stay in a menial job where there is no chance of failure. Fear and lack of confidence appear to be the main problems, but if they can be overcome, success is assured. In some cases, power and status can be viewed as a compensation for emotional emptiness.
You probably have a good head for business, but you can spoil your chances of real success by being short-sighted. If you do well in business, then often you will become emotionally involved in your job and your life may lack balance as a result.
You may be so attatched to a parent that you never really let go of them; at best, including your parent or parents in your own marital and family life. At worst, you may not leave the parental home at all, remaining single for much, if not all, of your life.

Moon in Aquarius

Many lunar Aquarians need independence in their marriages and careers- you cannot live under someone else's thumb or be dictated to by others. If you have to face a particularly difficult situation, you may prefer to do this on your own and without an audience; if you have to go into hospital, you won't allow anyone to visit until you look presentable again.
You can be extremely imaginative, innovative and creative. You may have plenty of good ideas to pass on to others, and there is nothing you like better than to be asked for your advice. Under stress, you can become gossipy, aloof or sarcastic, and even unpredictable. You can be broadminded, always up-to-date and keen to live life to the full.
Lunar Aquarians can be quite tough to live with, due to your extreme independence and self-contained attitude. You may be obstinate, awkward, argumentative and determined, and you are very keen on having your own way. You need a partner you can respect and rely upon, and in this case the partner will need to be as strong and independent as you are. You are usually friendly and are never at a loss for company when you fancy it; kind, loyal and steadfast, you are often quick to help an underdog or adopt a lame duck.
You value education and will do all you can to ensure that your children have as good an education as possible. Travel appeals to you, as you enjoy seeing new things and meeting a variety of people.

Now I am going to go spend too much time at my unfulfilling menial job, due to fear of failure. I am going to neglect my family, due to fear of any emotional connection, and I will devote all my pride and self assurance ( what little I do have) on one parent. Even though I am an adult.

I thought that one was a bit harsh.... but I have a Cappy venus, and everything I read about that makes me sound like the scary nurse from ''High Anxiety''... tight arsed and unemotional... whatcha gonna do?

Ya'll want a lovely interp of your progressed moon? Give your birthday and I'll work it up for you. No time nessecary, just day month and year will do!

Moon in Aries sounded right especially this bit -"One problem that seems to afflict those with the Moon in Aries is that of having a domineering or difficult parent, and the years from adolescence to independence are often characterized by shouting matches."
So accurate. Although I've always thought I was fairly understanding. Hm... maybe I'm not.

Just using your birthday and this handy dandy book (plus a smart Farmer's Almanac.. gotta know the moon phase you were born under ), this is what I have come up with for you. I may be totally off, if this book is bollocks, so bear with me, umkay?

Here we go:

From what I gather, (I haven't plugged your info into astro.com yet) you have a Capricorn moon in your sixth house, Leo rising, and your Scorpio sun in your 4th house. You were born five days after the new moon in 1976, and this would indicate that you posess a great sensitivity and are very creative. A new moon in Capricorn (not quite in the first quarter, so we'll go with this interp) indicates ambition and determination coupled with cool logic over many overly emotional considerations, especially in business and parental matters.

Your moon in your sixth house may affect your health in the manner of your lower digestive system, bowels, the lower dorsal nerves, nervous system and your mind. You could have been ill in childhood, or you may be obsessed with health and hygiene or food. You may have had a demanding mother, and find expression through writing to be your best and most favoured outlet.

Here's what I got for your progression this year:

You will be having a Sagittarian progression in your 5th house. The moon progressing into Sag casts serious concerns aside as you enter a prolonged period of freedom and excitement, energy levels being quite high. You are likely to resent any restrictions placed upon you and kick them to the curb as quickly as possible. All the soul-searching has reaced a plateau at this time, and you may feel stronger and more self-willed, with a hunger to experience everything that life has to offer. A lot of opportunities will present themselves, so grab them with the knowledge that you know yourSelf, you will make the right choices. Luck seems to be on your side, so be bold, change the things you don't like, and bask in the confidence that you are the sole owner of your life, and you can finally do what you have wanted to for some time.
Freedom is the game here, and you may try to disentangle yourself from ties that bind. You may want the freedom to come and go as you please, but most of all you will want to explore your deepest beliefs and to work out what you really want to achieve, perhaps a new study or formal education will be an option you consider. Legal matters may become important during this progression, either in the form of a settlement, or some kind of inheritance.

Although the 5th house progression is one of fun and fancy, it is also the house of children and creativity, the birth of one or the other is a great possibility. Either coming in the form of flesh or canvas, it is a great time to make bold emotional statements in this way. Feel like writing a best seller or publishing some poetry? Now would be the time! Your youthful, light-hearted nature at this time also brings you closer to either your offspring, or those you consider as 'children' in your heart. Despite the busy and exciting time ahead, you will find time to relax, and love will hit an all time high.

That's what I got so far, darlin'. What do you think? Sounds pretty darn good to me!!

That was fun! Kinda confusing and stuff, but I waded throught the text and grabbed what seemed to call out to me. Glad it was accurate, and more than glad that I could help!

*pssst....* I like wet kisses...

Anyone else want me to do theirs? I've got time!!

Thanks Ghanima, the Capricorn moon was pretty on target for me...I just hope I don't end up being a spinster!!
The progressed moon thing sounds interesting, if you have time would mind looking mine up? Birthday is August 16th 1986. Thank you in advance
