Aries Moon emotions are turbulent, selfish, and “me” oriented. They demand instant gratification and cannot tolerate frustration. You have learned to be an individual who can assert yourself and find ways to get your emotional needs met. These emotional needs are all-powerful, as are ego needs.

THE STRONGLY DEVELOPED SELF
The soul with the Moon in Aries has developed a strong sense of self and a powerful ego. The other-life personality was hot and demanding but straightforward, rather like a spontaneous child who hasn’t quite mastered patience and whose first thought is “What about me?”. And, like that child, this soul wasn’t above taking liberties with the truth if a lie would keep it out of trouble. While Aries can be passionate about the truth, little white lies rarely count. Passing the buck can be a deeply ingrained pattern and this independent soul is not too keen on facing up to the consequences of its own actions. It needs to be right.

THE WARRIOR HERO
The Aries Moon carries the archetype of the heroic redeemer. Somewhere in your soul there is a knight mounted on a white horse charging off to rescue damsels in distress. Or, to fight for good causes, right wrongs, or defend the weak and helpless. In the present life you may well have made heroic gestures on behalf of your mother, your partner, or the collective. Male or female, you have the emotional strength required for this.

EMOTIONAL NEEDS
Aries Moon needs are powerful. Part of your psyche is still childish and fractious. Headstrong emotions demand immediate attention. Your needs are so demanding that, in the past, you have been self-centered and insensitive in pursuing them. As Aries fears becoming dependent on others, you may have been isolated. The relationships you sought were ego-boosting and you will have taken the dominant role. Self-gratification was your driving force and you will have found it difficult to put this aside in order to consider other people. Now, your challenge is to devise ways of meeting your own emotional needs and to nurture your Self, balancing independence with interdependence.

LUNAR FOOD
What you will seek from other people is admiration and validation. You find it difficult to merge into the background and want to be seen for the special fiery Arian qualities of courage and assertiveness. In the past, you have been looked up to and acclaimed. Flattery and respect are the lunar food you thrive on. Self-nurturing helps you to cease looking to others for nurture and to fight instead for their rights.

MOTHERING EXPECTATIONS
What you seek from a mother is ego-boosting, confident nurturing. Someone who helps you to express your independence and make your mark on the world. What you fear may meet is the selfish mother who has no time for her offspring and who puts her own needs first.

The archetypal mother symbolized by Aries is fiery, passionate, and outgoing. She may be domineering, egotistical, and selfish. She can put all her energy into child rearing, creating a chosen child who carries all her hopes. At its extreme, this is a spontaneous conflagration that can consume all in its path with its enthusiasm and emotional demands. This mother may rear a competitive, self-centered child who must win at all costs. The less extreme manifestation of this is the mother who encourages her child to be independent and courageous.

ANCESTRAL INHERITANCE
A strong constitution, powerfully held opinions, and the ability to fight for causes pass down through an Aries Moon. Starting things, and then moving on, will be a pattern in the family. Little is repressed with the Aries Moon: the temper is instant and flare-ups are common, but forgetting is equally sudden. Emotions and delicate nuances of feeling, however, tend to be trampled underfoot in this insensitive household.

I only know two Aries moons, but I really admire the way that both fearlessly follow their emotions. My virgo moon is always in awe of it.

As an Aries moon I can relate to most of what is written. The funny thing is, I try to deny myself of validation from others and being egotistical and selfish with my needs.

But at the same time, it is an ugly, burning feeling that I get inside when I feel like I've been overlooked when it comes to my emotional needs. Maybe that is the urgency of Aries.
