I've known an Aries man who could hide his emotions very, very well and was very quiet and reserved (Gemini ASC by the way!)

Very interesting quesiton you asked there.

My Aries father is a great concealer of emotions. He is 78 and it wasnt until very recently that I learned he cried very often.......that came as quite a shock to me. He was always very egotistical and had an explosive temper. Maybe all his tears from chldhood were supressed and then he would explode now and then?

I have known quite a few Aries males who are very prone to depression....I think its cos they repress their feelings. I have also noticed that some Aries men have issues around the mother...mmm....maybe this is becos Aries has a hard time growing up. I have heard it said...."Aries, forever the child". I find them complex, and at times, despite the ego thing, quite fragile......handle with care.....I feel girl.

Good luck to you

love

also, appearance is really imp to aries suns, and air suns too, but u have to know what exactly their standard of beauty is, otherwise they may be totally turned off (for ex. Gem men have v strange beauty stndrds in my opinion)

Now that you mention it, even the aries females I know don't express much emotionally-- kind of keep things very superficial (except anger, which they express quite freely!)

My bf has an aries moon. This kind of answers some of the questions I've been asking myself lately.

Moon in Aries

This placement of the Moon always shows that the early home experience was characterized by some lack of control, usually over the combative instincts of those surrounding the child. The result is a stormy early life atmosphere and the risk that the individual has picked up from that experience an unconscious view that "home" means strife and storm. As a result, one may either seek a partner who will cause similar home conditions to be re-created or, once married, may oneself try to provoke the kind of storminess which one equates with the concept of home.
In every case of the Moon in Aries, it may be said with confidence that an important test for the soul is to overcome the subliminal influence of the early home's strife or conflict, and to refuse to allow it to manifest through them in their own later home experience. It is difficult to be completely free of our childhood conditioning, it takes time and patience and a willingness to develop more positive habits. It is achievable however and the results are well worth the effort.

Moon in House 8

The house placement for the Moon shows sensitivity to peoples emotional states. Sometimes even psychic sensitivity. With it usually comes the ability to use that sensitivity to advance one's cause.
This placement also indicates a need to express more of the purely affectional side of a love relationship as in the past there has been an over-emphasis on sexuality at the expense of the pure love interaction. Typically in past lives there has been such an emphasis on sexuality for its own sake that the tender bloom of pure love has withered and died. The main lesson is to allow the free flow of love, without it being the servant of physical passions.

i do feel that aries men are much more expressive of love and care and kindness than most men, same goes with anger. when they are confused or feel alone they will try to become quiet and isolated and want to deal with it themselves. when i once said that i wanted to back out of the relationship, for instance, he was shocked and said, ok plz tell me then asap when u make up ur mind. he gave me space, and i knew he was absolutely tortured every second, but nonetheless he did give me my space and time while he quietly backed off, sad and sullen

remember aries men are really just little boys at heart, and they dont understand that people can be EVIL. once this hits them in the head they can become very suspicious of just about anyone. but if ur aries hasnt had any particular bad experiences in life i wouldnt worry about his emotional reclusiveness. hes probably already decided he likes u, and is trying to hire someone to write it in the sky with a jetplane or something

ahh these aries men. crazy creatures but so loveable !

It's always been this way, as though one should have elephant hide and never complain, which I think is absolute cr*p. BTW, he comes from the "Silent Generation" born circa 1940.

I have been really fed up with the last couple of phone calls. I have had a tough time this past year (have a tough time in every single odd-numbered year) and all he could say was "oh, I don't analyze those sorts of things". When I scream at him via email over his lack of understanding, all he can say is that he is very upset. (?)

It is always as though I am, according to him, "not good enough" in the emotional department - and he has abused me physically when I was a child, as well, some days I wonder why I still speak to him...although I am beginning to disconnect emotionally in a big way - so he had better watch out!

His father died when he was 14 and he is always saying (referring to himself, and i quote "I am not allowed to be depressed". I tried to explain that we all get depressed, we are human, but he is very inflexible on this matter.

Aries rarely hides emotions. They really can't help it. Even I as Aries Asc find it hard to restrain from expressing how I feel. However I also have Moon/Mercury square Mars and Moon in 3rd.

I can delay it or wait until I feel able to. But if you look into my eyes or read me, you will see it. I can't pretend.

Are there aspects from Saturn to Sun/Moon/ Venus/ Merc or Mars?
