I am starting to think so. An ex friend of mine sucks literally sucks at reading people/situations accuratly. She is so naive its on the border of being stupid. I always thought this was a bit "weird" bc she has a cancer mercury venus, neptune opposites her mercury and pluto trines it and mars and ascendant in virgo trine neptune and sun square pluto, moon in the 8th house and sun in the 12th house and even with that much "water" affect she still is bad at reading/picking up the subtle. She belives in everything that "seems to be" but really isn`t. And i always wondered where does this naivity come from and then i see she has not only her moon in aries but mars and jupiter opposites it and venus squares it and when i read about venus square moon it was her to a T.I can also see the jupiter in her bc she likes to "joke" serious matters away and can be overtly optimistic, and i also see the aries/mars affect she can be so self-confident its on the border of being arrogant and this arrogance is the major reason why i think she is incridibly naive bc she thinks too highly of herself so she never "see" something coming until it hits her in the face.You have to be really obvious with her for her to understand or "see" something.She is not self-aware at all, like she thinks she is a mystery when she`s actually is an open book, she thinks she`s being smart when she`s actually being stupid, she thinks she convinces people with something when no one belives her, she thinks a guy likes her when he`s not even interested in her etc.She has more of the bad qualities of this moon sign and the aspects to it than the posetive ones. I am starting to belive the moon can actually "overshadow" the other planets in a persons personality bc she isn`t the only experience i have seen that the moon takes over.

My boyfriend is an Aries moon, yes, they are difficult lol. He is so naive but sure of himself and throws a tantrum for everything. your description cracked me up because that kinda describes my boyfriend if I wanna be harsh lol. But to me, it's adorable. Probably because he's my boyfriend haha. He never sees anything coming until it smacks him in the face so I have to look out for him. He's a Pisces sun so he relies on his intuition but it's pretty much always wrong. For some reason my intuition is usually right and he ends up mad because he thinks I'm putting him down! He is very arrogantly self confident and I think that is why he is so naive too. Add that to his Pisces delusions and h just belives everything to be the way he thinks they are. I have to be the one that cleans up the mess x.x


Haha its exactly like this too with her. When the truth finally hits her friends of hers have to help her with her mistakes that some of her friends saw coming except for her. She is way too self-confident and optimistic that it makes her blind to almost everything. What is your moon sign and aspects to it?

What you described above - it's actually the influence of the Sun (your inner-core). Our inner-core needs a somehow familiar audience - to shine (for us to be capable of self-expression - or as some like to put it "to show our true nature"). The Moon influence manifests in any context, since - it defines our emotional nature in relation to anything (anything that implies interaction/reaction). Maybe we don't always act upon our feelings - but we always feel nonetheless. The Sun on the other hand - is more defining for a predefined identity (set of traits) - like the one of an animal from a certain specie - which is suppose to show "how" we express our-selves - our emotions (the Moon influence) - in a place where it feels (the Moon influence - is what dictates if it's safe to come out - if it's safe to remove the Masc or the outer-shell known as the ASC) - comfortable to shine.

I can agree that - someone with an Aries Moon influence can be really naive sometimes - at least - emotionally speaking (acts first - thinks latter). Might pick the worst moments to give the signal of safety - to your inner-core (Sun) - and that can place you in a vulnerable/uncomfortable position/situation.

Neptune isn't just creativity and psychic ability and dreaminess. It's also gullibility, delusion, confusion, elusiveness, and blurred boundaries. I think her mercury on hard aspect to Neptune could have some of the effects you described.

I think it's the sun, if I were to select one.
However, everything comes into play at different times and situations.
Transits, etc. Depending on the placement, it's aspects that also determine it's strength.

It's just another piece to one's personality.

I have a Gemini Moon and trutfully, I can't make up my mind about anything. I'm very indecisive and I change my mind all the time.

It's the strongest influence in my daily routine.

I am starting to belive more and more now that strong mars/aries influence can also give "delusional" thinking to someone. I have another friend with a gemini moon conjunction mars she also has an aries sun and mercury, her sun squares mars too. She to like this other one is not self-aware at all. She`s incredibly naive too and is way to self confident that it litterlly makes her blind to almost everything.

I think you just have bad experiences with your friend. Ellen has aries moon, ...

I do too and I think it is a strong moon. Definitely act first, think later. But aries moon people are also very competitive, and in order to be competitive, one has to pay attention to things.

I normally joke around until someone challenges me and then I am all game on and become very serious about winning.

With that said, aspects, the whole chart and synastry should be taken into account. My mars is in Capricorn and with the Taurus ASC, it is rare that someone can actually anger me to the point of explosion. Although I would still have the typical aries moon response.


Another thing I have noticed is that the Cap Neptune/Uranus generation yield strange Cancerian. Perhaps because they already feel so much.

Yeah but what i think arians need to learn is to know what a competition is and not "suddenly" start competing with another person that isnt in a competition with them but they deceided to just be in a competition with that person.This is also something i have noticed about strongly influenced mars/aries people, if they feel "threatened" or get jealous at another person for whatever reason(and alot of times i have seen its actually have been a stupid reason) they automatically start competing with that person and starts being unfriendly towards that person even though that person haven`t done something directly to them.I have also noticed that strongly influenced arians/mars people get easily jealous of friends even siblings if they think that person have/is better at them with something.Its like they are almost incapable of being happy for another person for doing something good or having something good because they treat almost everything as a "competition" and they get rather jealous instead of being happy for that person.They can also give out compliments easily to people they dont see as "competition" but people they see as "competition" oh goodness sakes its almost painful for them to give out a compliment to that person.I have had alot of experiences with arians/mars individuals and this is the behaviour i experience from them every time. Its not always it shows in the beginning but gosh it comes more and more out later on.

what if the person has a stellium? i have a stellium of 7 planets all conjunct in the same sign so the moon doesn't get 'heard' much. or, i ignore it in favor of the planet ruling that stellium. the moon is not always the strongest if something else in the natal - stellium, opposition, square, etc. - affects it. water doesn't equal = able to pick up emotions or read people. i have a water planet/neptune right on my ASC and sadly have the same problem with being naive. water is more about empathy.

Yeah but water is most known for it just like arians are known to be highly competitive.This is how water venuses even tend to "flirt" picking up cues, listens to the tone of the voice of a person more than actually hearing what they say, words almost dont mean anything to them everything is so non- verbal they feel their way into a person this is how they get to know a person. Very famously"known" to be good at reading/understanding people and this is why i was a bit surprised by her with so much water affect but still her moon overshadow those other planets.She`s even more "arien- like" when it comes to love then she is "cancer-like" you would have thought she has a aries venus instead of a cancer venus.

Again, this is taken the whole chart in account and synastry. If you do not get along with heavy-arian people, it's not gonna go away. The truth is every moon sign needs to take certain types of advices because there are pros and cons.

Ive seen both good and bad sides of my moon. But a strong mars, however, doesn't back off from challenges and do not become jealous unless heavily afflicted Aries/Scorpio/Cap mars know themselves.

Maybe you should not hang out with these people because their synastry with you would just be bad...

Haha we have the same moon sign, how do you get along with your guy? The weird thing is me and this gal had alot of good aspects but our moons were square and in my opinion i think this aspect is one of the worst aspects two people can have no matter how many other good aspects there is. Like, i understood very fast how she works emotionally but what i dont think i`ll ever understand is why she works that way. I wanted her to be more understanding, less selfish, to listen before reacting and to be more self-aware.We really "clashed" emotionally i sometimes were even shocked at how little understanding she has for other people, how little she didn`t "get" it. It was like talking to a wall.

Moon sign is definitely the MOST INTIMATE of the all the planets. If you get to know someone personally, and over time, you'd absolutely experience more of their Moon than anything else.

That being said, not all Moons (planets, for that matter) are built the same.

My Moon is in Pisces, and generally, Pisces Moon people are sweet, docile, intuitive, and deeply sensitive. I don't deny any of those traits, but my Moon is in late Pisces degrees which fall in Saturn's term and Mars decan.

What this does is add an extra dimension of "toughness" and maybe even an attack layer (for a lack of better words) to my Moon. Normally, Pisces Moon will run away from adversaries. If I feel emotionally pushed aside, or abused in some way, I will wage war and I'll get satisfaction. That's not to say I won't get wiped out and totally shut down because Pisces Moon by default cannot handle harshness very well, but I am very willing to deplete my energies and senses just to go to war. Because I do have Pisces Moon, I do have strong sense of mercy and forgiveness, but NOT before I wage war and have a blood bath.

I've met many Pisces Moon people...usually of the earlier degrees. They're 1000x more forgiving than I am and won't go to war for really any reason. But that's because the term and decan of their Moon is different than mine.

Hmmm well what I have noticed is that unless you're consciously watching yourself (which is good to do btw), you most likely will not notice your moon sign in action. Its all of the habits and things you do semi-consciously or subconsciously so you'll just have a momentary lapse in being a zombie and realize you've been doing all this stuff on autopilot.

Like it or not though, my moon sign has a huge effect on me. Its what causes me to stay up till the wee hours of the morning and investigate whatever it is that I'm interested in at the time. Its what causes me to continue to do the same things over and over without me realizing it (as it is for all of us). Since I have a water moon, my intuition is pretty strong and I'm really empathtic too which sucks if I don't actively create boundaries.

I think though, that the moon sign is more important for girls than it is for guys as it is the feminine aspect. The sun appears to be more of an influence on men (though, again, this is just a generality). What really matters is the aspects making to either planet and where they are located in the chart.

Funny thing is, I always feel AMAZING when I'm NOT acting out my moon sign lol. I've read that while mercury is the intelligence or way you express your mind, the moon sign is the majority of your mind since most of it is subconscious. So its interesting to see the correlation between mind and moon.

^^^^on that note too, we are a whole chart. I ran into arguments with my landlord and I was thinking: "Oh, that part is my aries moon, that part though is really my sun square pluto, and then the other part is my cap mars..."

I have known this girl since i was little so when one is little.. well, one usually dont choose wisely, hehe. And like i said earlier its not always it shows in the beginning but it always comes out later on and that is where the annoyence comes out.I think they should chill a tad bit with the competition streak and stop being jealous out of stupid reasons.But yeah your right, i dont get along with strongly influenced arian/mars people. Its like we talk two different languages.
