I agree with you!

And I also agree with you about liking Pisces moons. Pisces is probably my favorite moon placement (I have a Cancer moon). Scorpio moons can be intimidating at times, but they 'get' me (as in, understand me).

I get along better with Pisces/Scorp moons than Pisces/Scorp suns. I've only had a falling out with one Pisces moon (I feel like this person 'outgrew' me, and she stopped communicating/wanting to hang out, so I just stopped talking to her altogether; no harsh words or anything). It's not that I dislike Pisces and Scorpio suns, just that it seldom works out, whereas things go better with people who have those as moon signs rather than sun signs.

This man is the best of all worlds in terms of combining genders. I say that he is the man you can take shopping with you and who will help you pick out jeans without losing his masculinity. That is a hard feat

The sign of the moon seems secondary to the aspect of Moon trine Venus, ime.

Because I think men with Water Moons tend to be more connected to their feminine side and their Moon energy than the average man, even though it might make us feel 'different' or ostracized.

I think it's more likely to be the other way around, men with strong feminine influence would tend to project it onto women because sensitivity isn't exactly a desired trait in men (socially speaking).

Machoism and bravado can be displayed in due course where it counts. When the stuff hits the fan, the men stay and deal with the issue and the boys go running. The image of what is socially desirable in the popular media is often at odds with practical life.

For example, the man who typically wears tight fitting jeans to highlight a bulge in front usually doesn't have an anatomy that functions well.

I buy most of my wife's cosmetics, her fragrances, her feminine medicine, her sanitary napkins, etc. I know her garment and shoe sizes, and I also know what attire she likes. I know which flowers she likes. I have no problem buying her undergarments if instructed. The issue at hand is most women see such a man as just being a pervert. The feminine aisle at the pharmacy clears out whenever I arrive, which is just very convenient for me

Men who cannot understand crying as a healthy form of emotional release are either incredibly repressed or just insensitive. Granted, nobody's demanding a guy to be John Boehner, who seems to cry whenever the sun hides behind a cloud, and totally loses it emotionally when his pizza is cold.

The typical "macho" man in popular media doesn't have the wherewithal to withstand the sight of child birth, but has no issue with the act of procreation. The typical "macho" man is a wuss.

Rather than reprimand you, they'll get someone else to do it and fight their battles FOR them. There is no such thing as a "perfect" placement.

Then again maybe that is just my 8th house moon/moon trine Pluto talking.

One of the observation modes you can employ is this:

Go to the bathroom but ask your bf to carry your purse, assuming that its a tote with a sling or a handbag.

Most men will oblige with carry the bag with arms extended by the handle. Some jacka$$es would leave the bag on the floor. Some may even walk away from it for fear of losing macho-ness.

I prefer to sling the handbag. When questioned, the answer is: no, I'm not effeminate. It's just a practical way of carrying a bag. It lifts the bag off the floor and it is an efficient way of distributing weight.

I've seen men practically dragging heavy totes on the ground while walking just so they don't look "gay," especially men under 5 foot 8 inches and with long arms.

I don't care what anyone says, and whether any woman laughs at me, but the wise man in me says that Louis Vuitton or Gucci or Hermes and the dirty floor don't mix. Imagine the underside of a white canvas bag if you dragged it across pavement in public.

The man who protects and cherishes your purse would most likely protect and cherish you.

If a man allows you out in public with scuffed leather shoes without first shining them (especially if they have been NSFed and militarized) are either (1) lazy (2) inconsiderate or (3) doesn't care about you. The man who wants to show you off at your best honours you the most. No man should be too big to voluntarily iron your clothes if crinkled before you go out (especially if he has been militarized).

My Moon is in Gemini in the 3rd House in Placidus, and in Gemini in the 4th House in Whole Houses. Depends on what system you subscribe to.

My Moon Trines Venus in 12th House in Aquarius. That's my only Moon natal aspect.

Men can eaily learn how to cook, clean, wash, iron and garden. I also grocery shop, attire shop, sew, knit, crochet, babysit, manicure, pedicure, apply makeup, cut a woman's hair, color, curl and perm.

That's in addition to mending, destroying, fixing and tinkering with stuff like a regular guy, besides yard work, washing the cars, etc. That is in addition to the standard male companionship role.
