When stuff gets too serious do they feel the need to joke it "away", like do they have a hard time going deep? I have dealt with a few fire moons and no matter what else they have in their chart they all tend to do this, esp sag moons.

Me to, and that is why i can get a bit annoyed by some fire moons. Everytime something serious comes up i have seen them have a bad habit of trying to make things not so serious by trying to joke it away or change the subject to something more posetive or something.

Me, my mom and my dad have Sag Moon conjunct (me and dad exact).

Mum - Aqua, Cap Mercury - takes things seriously

Dad - Pisces, Aqua Mercury - sometimes jokes away, which annoyes me a lot.

Me - Leo, Virgo Mercury - as I mentioned earlier, "take serious matters seriously".

Aspects matter, too.

These people that i have experienced this from have had "serious" mercuries signs and other serious signs in them to and that is why i said no matter what else they have in their chart earlier bc this is the approach i see them take everytime when it comes to emotions and serious matters. They joke, shove, change subjects just anything to get it "away" from them. It seems like they find stuff like that awkward and uncomfortable and don`t like it when things get too serious.

Sag moon here. I do joke and have a gallows humor.

However, that doesn't mean I'm running away from it and I do have serious discussions about emotions and everything else. I can even do both at the same time.

Based on my experience with them, not so much. My sister, my dad, and my friend both have Aries moon and they take problems too personally or too seriously. They get offended when I try to lighten up the mood with a joke. Plus, I find that they like to sulk and wallow in misery. And to think Cancer moons like me get shunned for that "moody and depressed" stereotype.

Sag moons I've encountered like my mom, get irritated when I don't take problems seriously.

I find Leo moons easier to handle when you try to joke with them about the problem. My best friend is one and she just gives me a tiny smile and acknowledges that I'm trying to lighten her up instead of blowing up on me. But even then, after she smiles, she goes back to thinking about the problem until it's completely gone.

I just remembered an Aries Sun, Asc, and stellium (including moon). She liked slapstick and vulgar humor but when it came to things in life she wasn't fond of humor...and didn't like it when I laughed things off.

But I wouldn't say she "went deep." She was quick (much faster than me) to think someone was whining and tell them to shut up and get over it. Though she'd had a hard life herself (even her arm broken by a cruel uncle when she was about 10) and she didn't whine about her own past or anything like that...she'd stomp on you if you gave her a hard time or otherwise got in her way but if it wasn't an immediate concern then it probably didn't concern her. "A ship doesn't sail on yesterday's winds" (good or bad) could be her motto.

"But I wouldn't say she "went deep." She was quick"

Aah, this is so true. When they choose to finally go a little bit deeper they are very quick to swim up to the "surface" again.

The only ones I know:

Leo Moon (Gemini Sun) - Jokes a lot but never about serious matters.
Aries Moon (Taurus Sun) - Super grumpy when people joke during serious times and takes everything seriously.
Sag Moon (Cap Sun) x3 - All 3 (2 with the same birthdate but 7 hours apart) get really irritated during serious matters. Even more ticked off when I'm the one joking it away.
Leo Moon (Aries Sun) - Joked everything serious off. Everything is a joke to this guy. A very, "oh well, who cares" attitude.
Leo Moon (Virgo Sun) - Jokes about a serious matter and get annoyed that others didn't snap back to serious mindset as quick as he did.
Leo Moon (Scorpio Sun) - Has joked off and not taken serious matter seriously but also has taken serious matters serious. 50/50?

Not that I've seen. Been around plenty of fire moons - coworkers, friends, romantically, one of my parents.

Depends on the person, if I feel they are the right person to 'go deeper with,' and it is the right place/time, then I will go deeper, but if not: all jokes.

Aries moon - No. I never joke on serious matters (now), but sometimes my sag in mars kick in and I joke about it (later). Eh..

Leo moon - Yes. All the time.

Sag moon - I found sag moon tends to avoid heavy conversation/serious matters because they love humor than anything, but jokes about it, hmmm.. yes and no.

Sag Moon, here.

I'm guilty of this. Overall I'd say I am 50/50. Generally I prefer not dealing with heavy emotions, unless it's philosophical. However I won't tolerate someone deliberately trying to p!ss me off. I also have Saturn square Moon.

Sag Moon here (3rd House).

I definitely joke my feelings away. To be honest though, it's not so much a reluctance on my part to discuss "serious" things, but more so a reaction to criticism. Maybe I do it the wrong way or at the wrong times, or whatever, but almost every time I have ever been been open about feelings that WEREN'T positive, I've been criticized rather harshly for being "too serious," "too depressing," or "too dramatic." I'm always surprised when people say they value that ability to discuss things seriously or deeply, because my experience has always been the inverse: No one wants to hear any of that.

The only aspects to my Moon are a sextile to my Ascendant (Virgo), square to Venus (Pisces), and a quincunx/inconjunct to Jupiter (Cancer).

Gemini Sun, leo moon here.
I never joke about serious stuff. I dislike it when people do this.
But say u were to go on and on and on about the same matter for a loonnng time as in say six months, I would ask you to stop it but after that I wouldnt stand it. Thats when i would say something sharp and sarcastic.

I joke when the mood is right. I joke to release myself from too serious emotions. I'll be depressed or worried otherwise if I don't.

Sag moon in 12th.

I'm a sag sun/moon and I don't really joke about serious things. I'd probably avoid it rather than joke.

I'm dating an Aqua Sun / Leo moon and he jokes about everything serious that I want to talk about. It drive me crazy.

Don't you mean AIR moons? :-D I think fire moons will get annoyed more easy than joking in serious situations.

I wouldn't put the "blame" on the moon. I would look for planets in Gemini. All joking loving people I know have Gemini placements. Including me

Meanwhile, my gallows humor catches flak because people don't want to think about anything deep or serious, not even as a joke. Not because it's a joke or flippant (though the latter has also happened) but because it's brought up at all in the first place.

However, it depends, but I wonder how much is just how it's understood/misunderstood?

As a Sag moon I can be serious about something. I can also be comforting or build morale through humor that some appreciate and some don't and that doesn't mean I'm running away or trying to change the subject--sometimes I've used humor (and mockery as well as parody) to confront someone as well, but only those who were being far more obnoxious already (in one case I thought they should consider themselves lucky that they were being mocked rather than being attacked, I know if I did to them and their kids what they were doing to mine they'd probably think about shooting me rather than making fun of me, and come to think of it, what I said to an uncle who just threatened to beat me to a pulp was as serious as it was joking and a damn good point that even he may have grudgingly realized though he wasn't about to admit it).

But if someone thinks that taking something serious means one has to rend their garments and become all Oprah or it's "not serious" then I can see why it would appear to be "running away" from it even though that's not what's happening.

It depends on what one considers "serious". I have fire moon n mercury (conj uranus). My husband has earth moon, water mercury conj pluto. I often feel like joking about matters that he considers serious.

But yeah, I will joke and shove serious matters away from me, unless they are absolutely important, or they are things that capture my interest.
