I have a book that states Libra moons are very VERY inquisitve as children. How true!

Do you feel the moon sign in children has a lot to do with how they learn and pick up on information around them?

My thoughts are that as children are more intuitive anyway as mostly they haven't been exposed to the harsh realities of life and responsibility therefore making them react to situations and people more on an emotional and instinctual level.

Having this knowledge could also help when raising your child (and how to handle situations) and you can help them get the most out of their learning and play.

I just had an epiphany when I was chatting with someone and thought I'd post it then and there hehe
I can't remember some of the things the book said, it wasn't a lot but I haven't read it in years. But I remember reading it thinknig 'that is just me to a T'. I can post the Aries moon child if you would like to see it. I am still annoyingly inquisitive and constantly ask questions so I know everything about what's going on But then again I have Merc in Aries LOL we are like moon and mercury opposites. I think I had more issues with my Mars Scorpio conj MC (determined and stubborn) when I was little than anything else. That has been hard to balance out!

I wish my mum read this Libra moon child thing when I was little because it would have helped her understand me better.

Children with the Moon in Libra make friends easily. They usually begin to talk at an early age too! They will ask questions incessantly as they grow. They can be a bit absent-minded, forgetting where they have left their favourite jumper or when they took off that new pair of socks. They can also forget to put things away, and can be a bit untidy. They crave intellectual stimulation, but are sweet-natured with it. They need to be encouraged to make simple decisions for themselves as they grow.

Aries is a bit shorter

The child with the Moon in this position does not want to take no for an answer and can become a bit of a bully if not checked. You need to channel the will of the Aries child into creative or inventive puruits.

Willpower is another thing altogether. Along with my Taurus Mars in the 1st and Taurus rising, my mother went crazy trying to get me to do anything...I wouldn't argue, but I would dig my trenches silently and wait it out. She would scream, yell, and try to make me do something (which I would do generally, unless I saw it as unreasonable lol) to the point of hysterics. I would say she had one hell of a time wearing down my resistance, and she never could.
Once, when I was 5, she was trying to force me to drink warm milk (which I HATED) and I wouldn't...she had shoved the glass in my face and I just opened my mouth and took a big bite out of the glass. Oooh, that freaked her out well enough
That story is general tone of my childhood as far as being told what to do by her. By my grandmother was another story tho.

As a child I was a typical Libra moon. All I wanted to do was read my books and encyclopedias, draw, paint, write and focus on my dancing (Libra's are very much into the arts. A little ballerina is very Libra)

My family pushed me to do well in school and I was lucky to have an engineer uncle, another who was self educated in the esoteric and an aunty who was an English teacher and educated in Literature and American History, I was encouraged to ask any question I had and spent many long hours talking with adults about stuff like philosophy, ancient greek mythology, science, religion, politics etc.

I started school a year early as well as uni. I'm a huge nerd, I devour books and think nothing of spending hours researching a subject I'm interested in.

I GOT IN SOOOO MUCH TROUBLE FOR TALKING AND NOT PAYING ATTENTION! LOL. Everything my teachers ever wrote was about how I didn't live up to my potential.

I finally got around to that in my late 30's when I went to college. My GPA was/is (I haven't finished, need 3 Maths) 3.78

As far as the Aries Moon, my daughter was never bullyish, she was super shy, like MVM said she was. My daughter is a Pisces Sun.

My Son has a Cappy Moon, but you would never know it. He acts alot like a Scorpio, which his Sun and Asc are in, but yet, people always say he acts just like me. He has Mars in Sag, maybe it's different for the sexes???

I never bullied, but I was bullied a lot, as I got older. I dropped out of school, and continued my studies at home, because I couldn't take it anymore. I sort of hover at the edge of groups, because high school left me gun shy, in that respect.

Yeah, I had that problem too in both primary and secondary school. And even in tertiary education. Despite being so academic, like a typical Libra moon, I'm a social person who loves being around ppl so in school, I actually didn't work that hard.
The main reason was that I was so intelligent, I was bored and just wanted to amuse myself in class. Once I got to my 2 final years of high school, I worked my butt off and got into university, but I dropped out after 1 semester, just after i turned 18.

Funnily enough, most of my friends in high school were Libra suns. We'd try to study together but in class we were too busy chatting and talking to everyone.
At work last week my friend and I were seperated cos we were the only ones talking like we actually enjoyed being at work. I couldn't believe it when they split us up and even said,
"What the hell is this? Last time I checked, high school was OVER" (and this was in Gordon Ramsey's new restaurant too hahaha)

Having such a complicated mind that can absorb much, I need constant stimulation so after I dropped out of uni, i just partied my butt off instead. I went back to school when i was 20 but have found it really, really difficult to complete this stupid degree.

I find it so hard to sit down and write an essay, whereas on here, I could write and write and write.

I also did dancing for 8 years when I was little and have always done crafts. At the moment I sell handmade soap and body products on the side of working and studying (I've been working on getting this degree for about 5 years lol). Still living out the Libra moon creativity.

MVM that's uncanny regarding your Mars in Taurus - my Mars is in Scorpio in 10th conjunct MC and I had a very similar experiences with my dad, I really didn't like to eat meat and one horrible experience when I was 5 I was force fed it and it was horrible. Haven't been able to eat a roast until the last one or two years! (20 yrs later..) Very determined, stubborn and fussy. But that mars is conjunct my MC, opposite sun (in 4th conj IC), square ASC. fun times.

Ami LOL cancer moons are cream puffs but also very self-protective!

belgz I relate to that too and felt my Libra moon was suppressed (and still is to a point) by my parents. Both my parents have cancer moons (one being a cancer sun too).

Astra haha luckily my Libra moon overrode my Scorpio plotting tendencies (Mars, MC, Saturn, Pluto in Scorp) when I was younger but they have come out more as I get older and life experiences are bringing the libra-light airy fairyness back down to reality! But the Scorp tendencies are fairly controlled. I guess when Scorpio is prevelant in a chart (i.e. personal planets/angles) then there'll always be that tendency at least hidden away somewhere.

Gypsee yesss I was the same! Me and my Aqua girlfriend in high school were always getting in trouble for chatting too much .. and bringing attention to ourselves in class lol good times.
I don't know what GPA score is good but my TEE (the west australian one) was 73 shameful (though I still got into uni.. just) but I was doing harder subjcts (app. maths, physics, chemistry, language, english) not turning up to class (because visiting friends was more important) and just managing to hand my assignments in. I called essay writing the "art of bullsh**ing" because I never read one of the text books only the synopses, but got fairly good marks in english lol.

The Gemini child also needs a rich imaginative life and to be encouraged in artistic pursuits. The child may not have the tenacity to stick at developing artistic interests, or may abandon one interest for another, which can drive you wild. You need to persist with helping such children find an outlet for creative expression

Capricorn moon children have a reserved demeanour. They understand the value of cash from an early age, and are great hoarders of pocket money. When you run short of the milk money, they will help you out - with interest! They do not make friends easily, but the ones they do have are likely to be long-term. They need to be encouraged to express their feelings rather than bottle them up.

Children with the moon in Cancer are highly impressionable and home-loving too. They need support for their intuitions about feelings as they grow. But they also need to form relationships outside the home to achieve a balanced life. They can be fearful of venturing out into new and different experiences with others. They need to be helped to do this, rather than become brooders tied to the safety and security of their home base.
