I rarely show my moon. Im not really affectionate and loving person to people.
I dont open up easily..

Even though Im extremely sensitive.. I never show that side of my self, as I feel it would be a sign of weakness.

You have to be strong to survive the world, and thats what people need to see from me.

I tend to listen to people, and then gradually change the subject to something more cheerful, if they've been upset. That's what people do for me, too.

My daughter once told me... Mom Ive never seen you cry.. Why not?
I said crying is not going to solve a problem, you have to stand up and face it head on and deal with it.. Once you deal with it, it wont seem as bad as it was.
You can then put it in your pocket as problem solved and move forward.

I don't have any kids but if I had any I'd teach them the same. I once overheard a coworker tell her daughter the same thing when the daughter called the office crying about something...my coworker said, "Whatever's bothering you, forget about it for now. Concentrate on what needs to be done right now and if you want, talk to me about what's bothering you later."

The other way I show affection is through physical contact. I don't give that out often and when I do there is strong intent and meaning behind it. It comes from having my moon in the 2nd house.

I have Aries moon conj 4th (not IC)I can react very quickly, come up with surprises and actions are spontaneous, never neutral or passive though.

With stellium in taurus in 4th, incl venus, taurus is 'highly sexed' affectionate, sensual(along with aries) and extremely romantic. My Venus i call it, "Bake a cake syndrome" as any visitors invariably get fed..

I love to bring those I love into my beautiful, comfy, healing home.

With scents, sights, soft things to touch, (including my kitties), soft sounds like the wind chimes outside or the birds at the feeder...good things to eat...

I am NOT a physically demonstrative person.

I tend to really enjoy writing letters and use words to cheer people up. I also LOVE to cook for people or buy them small gifts. I love the challenge of picking out just the right gift--something small, not extravagant, not expensive, but something with a lot of meaning that's
perfectly suited to that person. I like what I call "tailored" gifts: that is, gifts specially picked for that person, based on his/her quirks and tastes--something that shows that I care and pay attention.

I don't believe in the "stiff upper lip" or that "feelings are bad". I'm an INFJ. Not how we roll.

Now, I don't think that people should let emotions get to an unhealthy place/control them in an unhealthy way, but, at the same time, I think that holding everything in is equally unhealthy. To me, it's good to let out the feelings in a healthy way, get it out of your system, and then try to solve the problem with a clear head. Or,
alternately, figure out the practical stuff, and then give yourself time for the emotions. Basically, do both, and don't go to the extreme of all-head or all-heart. Both are needed for balance.

I know it's gotta be Moon in Cancer cuz her other personal placements are frosty cold ones, like Venus in Capricorn, Sun in Aquarius, Mercury in Aquarius, Aquarius rising....

I never cry in front of others. I have my Moon in Cancer too.

posted March 11, 2012 08:08 PM            

I never have the right words to say to someone to comfort them besides the truth lol(which to me is comforting). If i like someone, the things i DO for them is how i show affection the most. But no one seems to notice. Also im willing to buy them things, if i have the money that is.

Wow. I can really identify w/this. I am not someone that can show a ton of emotion...always think visible emotion = vulnerability = weakness.

Even when my brother passed away suddenly, I went into "work" mode and start planning services, photo albums, travel, etc. My father and older brothers were emotional, and my aunts kept telling me that it was "OK to be upset" - and I was upset, just not displaying it with tears.

Affection is the same thing. I'm not demonstrative w/affection... I dislike overt PDA. It's find behind closed doors but making out in public, regardless of how deep the attraction is, makes me uncomfortable. Even OTHER couples' PDA is awkward to be around. I think emotions/affection should be private.

I wouldn't consider myself very affectionate, can be cold and aloof at times. I show my affection more in the things I do. Like spending time together doing whatever, buying things for people, and so on.
