most descriptions of aries i read say that aries despise weakness or the appearance of weakness. they hate to feel like they are dependent on someone. independence and constant affirmation of ego boundaries is important.

i read someone that fire signs constantly need to reassert ego boundaries. so, for example, if an aries moon feels itself getting to close or dependent, it will do something to affirm separateness... that could be starting an argument or being apart of on/off relationships.

i know that i just get bored. there is something about aries moon that likes challenge and chase. and the moon rules my 7th house so i feel like i need that in my relationships. this usually manifests itself as combativeness or creating challenges.

I have also moon in aries..
Sun Scorpio and ASC Saggy..Venus in Libra..
I have always duality..One side of mine always seek for equality in relation due to venus libra..But for my emotions always fiery,leader and independent....I dont like dependent men.I am dominant in my relations except a ex-one who is Aries sun man..
For platonic I can not hide my feeling
I am an impulsing girl,always on move..
Hýmm and I atract % 80 aqua..I only sun conj uranus.but north node on leo..

I see dependent and indeciv. as a weakness and always argue that type people..

Ans also my moon aries in 4 th house..That placement is challange,sometimes it can be hard for me..

With love..

Your Moon is very strongly modified by the conjunction to transneptunian dwarf planet Eris with 5 minutes of arc.

For people that have Moon in Aries, I'd check to see if there is a conjunction to Eris which has been in Aries since the 1920's

Then there would be themes of diversity,equality,discord,controversy

as a transneptunian dwarf planet, Eris also has to do with evolutionary intensification,metaphysical orientation,and highly nonconformist (especially considering its highly elliptical orbit as a scattered disk object)

he was the most dependent individual i have ever met!

had a massive heart attack at 41 (now 49) on disability, pacemaker dependent, relies on dad to give him gift cards to eat, dad purchased him a car, he goes to dads to wash clothes, get on the net...etc.

the most DEPENDENT individual i have EVER met! and it is not his fish sun, cause i am one and i am so, so not dependent on anybody.

he could not hold his own and i think more and more he had his heart attack (metaphysically speaking) to gain attention..

aqua is way, way more of an independent sign than aries, the "babies" of the zodiac are just that...

And I meant no offense to the Ariens here, just in my experience, those with the Arien vibe are not as independent as one would think.

I know a lovely Scorpio lady..most things in Scorp, she has an Aries asc and she is one of the most independent lady one would ever want to meet!

So, maybe independence is not the correct interpertation of the Arien energy, maybe that of newness and seeking and openess to all...

some would say "independent" i would say exploring!

I used to be very independent, but I'm not in a position to be now - I have lost a certain amount of drive and the type of inner confidence that pushes you that way. At the same time, when I have my more independent times, it feels wonderful.

I think a balance is nice - it would be nice to not need anyone, but there are ways in which I need the people in my life. (Not in unhealthy ways.) I know that independence builds confidence, but it can also have a draining effect when you're doing too much by yourself. (Any single parent could tell you that, and, no, I'm not one of them.) I like the idea of having your independence, but having someone there to lean on when needed.

I know I can't look to others to make me feel good about myself - not really. It's the worst feeling when that confidence is shaky, and I want it back. (I felt so free at times in the past year, only to let certain things plough me into the ground over and over... I want that feeling of freedom back. The smiles, the optimism, the looking forward.)

I guess that this can happen if the Aries person is insecure about his/her own sense of identity/independence and/or about the relationship itself.

Yes, this was what I was getting at.

The Aries and Gemini Moon people I know personally -had reasonably good, fun childhoods. I find these two similar since they are both personal and masculine signs (They do have their differences, but I'll focus on the similarities here).

Both were allowed to be kids and really experience that, and some never grow up.
I find them fun, but a little bit in the dark when it comes to the harsher side of life. They both strive for independence. They are not "heavy" people in any sense of the word. They seem quite HAPPY and things seem to come easily to them. I think there is an element of good luck there. They are always young at heart, looking on the bright side. Not too much happens in their lives that is emotionally draining or very negative (unless the Moon is afflicted).

(Disclaimer: I realise this is not always the case. I know one Gem Moon person on here has had bad experiences with her parents.)

I'm Aries Sun - Cap Moon & Mars/Nept - Cancer AC

:edit: About Aries Moon and weakness.. In my experience, it is not so much that they despise weakness, but rather do not understand it and are afraid of it.
for instance I know a man at the moment who has an Aries Moon and even though one of his friends is ill - he is choosing to ignore and avoid the situation. He does not know how to deal with this friend - at this time in his life - a weak point.. because he has never been through something similar.
I find this happens often - the experience of negative things is missing. They seldom have *serious* negative experiences and hence, they are a bit oblivious to them.
