My Gemini moon is in the 1st house....people that are close to me in life tell me that I need to get a handle on my emotions because they are too close to the surface; that I need to learn how to be indifferent (pffft....1st house mooner?? Picture that lol) I try to be indifferent & let things slide but even if I'm not saying anything the expression on my face says it all. I try to keep the poker face on but if my inner voice is screaming disapproval, it's hard to hide. Do any fellow 1st house mooners have any sound advice to be indifferent? Like what coping mechanisms do you have or should I just tell them to live with it? Lol They aren't saying I shouldn't have emotions but that I need to curb my emotions to the point where I am not cussing someone out (I believe they deserve it) or being indignant in some way.

The ability to feel emotions (including empathy) is what separates us from machines. And sociopaths. If I were you I'd ask them what they were trying to turn me into. IP: Logged |

Repressing emotions can makes you sick, try mediating it works for me. Fellow first house gemini moon.

Lol! StacyLewis  Well, I just got "F*ck it!" Lmao! It gets me through the day. But I still can't hide my facial expressions. :L People always say, "Omg! Why are you so sad?" or "Who YOU thinking about?" or even "(Laughing) Debra doesn't agree." Before I even open my mouth. I like it though because I don't have to "express" my feelings directly. Moon Square Mercury. Imagine how it might feel to have Pluto conj. moon on the first house. Waaaaaaaay more intense. Like if I don't like something or someone (for that matter) I can't hide it. Unless of course that person is a bimbo. Then it's hidden VERY well. .-. IP: Logged |

Couldn't do it even if I wanted to... ;PAnd in Pisces so... I don't express it on a verbal level per se but it's definitely there. IP: Logged |

Lol...I try so hard most times. I usually won't say too much because I don't like the back and forth of arguing but my face says it all. I have moon trine Pluto so that's a strong influence as well. I tell most people not to take me at face value...it's really not that serious lol. I don't think it helps that I have the wacky Gemini moon in the 1st house. Interchangeable would be an understatement. Once I get it off my chest, I'm good & mellow like nothing ever happened & that leaves people confused as hell lol. I just say to them let me get it off my chest....even if I have to go into the next room & rant to myself. I just have to get it out. Nothing personal per se...just an expressive person that needs to blow off steam. I can understand their point too though. I can become a tyrant (sun square Pluto as well). This placement almost makes people think we are bipolar but I know I'm very stable in my emotions...just more expressive than others can handle at times IP: Logged |

I have gemini moon in the first house.
It is really easy to read my emotions, and I hate that so much.
No poker face over here...
If I'm depressed or sad I look really icy and un approachable even if I don't mean to. I can also be very moody and get easily frustrated when people approach me when I want to be alone. IP: Logged |

I really really try sometimes but it's like with moon in the first house, there is no self control when it comes to emotions. IP: Logged |

I always thought my lack of emotion was caused by my Gemini Moon in the 1st, but maybe cause it is square saturn. I intellectualize everything and anything remotely serious has to be reasoned and dissected. Most of the time I am too busy trying to figure out how I am suppose to or want to feel about things instead of just feeling them. I can be passionate when I fully believe in something, but I have a ton of leo so I can also be dramatic for drama's sake and sometimes to see what kind of reaction I can get out of people cause its funny...but its not emotional.

My best friend has Moon/Pluto/Saturn conjunct in the 1st house and she's probably the most emotional person I've ever known. She can't hide how she feels to save her life! Whenever she's upset she cries, even in front of people; basically any emotion she may have just comes up to the surface.And.. I don't think there's a way to change that. Of course you can try to be more calm and not let it all out but I'm pretty sure Moon in the 1st house - unless mitigated by other aspects - is always gonna be a pretty expressive Moon. That being said, it doesn't have to be bad. At least you guys are (usually) sincere and very humane. Ok more rational Moons will find you quite annoying but hey, no one can blame you for being fake or cold-hearted!

I also have a sextile to my saturn in Leo from my fourth house. I display all the traits of a Gemini moon too but I think my problem is more of the temper I have which I blame on the sun square Pluto. I can't deal w/stupidity & being insulted. My boyfriend who is a Sagittarius moon tells me I need to stop being so sensitive when people cross the line with me...I need to learn to just not say a word and walk away. Most times it's really easy but I believe there are times that people need to be told off just for the sake of being told about themselves. And you are right DR...at least people will never call us fake. It will be written all over our faces lol IP: Logged |

My sister has Cancer Moon in the first house; which in my opinion works like a double whammy.She is an extremely defensive person and no sooner has she broken down in tears, she is smiling and laughing again. I think, however, the "control" of ones' emotions has more to do with Pluto/Saturn contacts to the Moon. I know, for instance, that Moon-Mars aspects can be quite explosive and their feelings can also be very much "on the surface". This person can express rage physically. I have this aspect, but the physical part is counter-acted by Venus and Saturn aspecting the Moon very closely(by trine). The Moon-Saturn aspect finds it difficlut to just "ket go". Often they project a cool demeanour because they fear emotions controlling them. There is a conscious effort to keep emotions under wraps(well at-least in public). Moon-Pluto is perhaps more dangerous because this is the Volcanoe that lies dormant but then can explode; destroying everything in its way. What may outwardly seem like cool detachment is someone counting to ten. The scary part can be when that individual doesn't get to ten. Booom!!! If you have Moon in 1st, for instance, but also Saturn forming aspects to your Moon, you may alternate between cool-headedness(Saturn) and pensive moodiness(Moon). If you have Moon in 1st, no Saturn/Jupiter contacts to counter those emotions by keeping a cool head(saturn)/ livening up a little (Jupiter) and Pluto/Mars both aspecting the moon closely: I'd stay away from you. You are prone to being a ticking time bomb.

I just did my brothers chart and his moon is in the first house as well, but it's in Aries. He has major mommy issues, his moon has no soft aspects. His Mars is in the 12th (repressed anger). My brother snaps at my mom out of nowhere sometimes. I never understood that until I looked at his chart. IP: Logged |
