I have read in a few places that Moon in Libra has the tendency to be distant/emotionally cool yet has a need to be in relationships all the time, which seems conflicting. What has your experience been with Moon in Libras in terms of emotions?

I have my Moon in Libra and would agree with the distance but the constant need for a companion seems very unlike me. Yet, I see it a lot in the readings that I have done.

I do have my Sun in Aries and Ascendent in Libra. Not sure if that plays a part.

I have moon in libra too. I think having your moon in any air sign makes it hard for us to understand ourselves emotionally. Almost foreign in a way. Kind of like Spock.

To an extent, I do agree that libra moon gives a longing feeling for a partner. But I think your independent Aries sun counteracts that. My all-or-nothing scorpio venus counteracts it too.

Bottom line, you gotta look at the whole chart. My mars in libra conjuncts my moon, which is supposed to give me more of an aggressive, straightforward moon-in-aries type vibe, which I can attest to.

I think I understand what you mean by the difficulty understanding ourselves emotionally. For me, I know I feel emotions, yet at the same time I find myself trying to make sense out of it.

Speaking of Mars, my Mars is in Aries.

Libra is a cold Moon to those of us with a strong feeling Moon like Cancer, Scorpio, Leo, Taurus, Pisces or Cappy.

Exactly. We try to make sense of what we feel but it doesn't always work because emotions aren't always rational.

I do think out of the air moons, libra is the warmest. My sister has aquarius moon and she thinks I'm unreasonable! But I get along with her better than my other sister with cancer moon.

That should counteract your libra moon as well.

I have a friend who has Libra Moon and Aries Sun... Imagine why she wants to get distant? Because she loves too much!

I think a person has to understand his Moon, as fully as he can, and then understand the Moons which are compatible. The Moon is one's deepest heart. I think we need to chose our close relationships with our Moon in mind. This is a lesson learned the hard way

I see Libra moon not as being distant in a guarded, flaky way. I think Libra moon simply would not like to "rock the boat".
More than companionship I think they like to be social with others. They love the interaction with others.
They prefer harmony and therefore may seem secretive, flaky, indecisive, etc. They have definite opinions but sharing them can be difficult. The middle road seems a better option in order to not ruffle any feathers.

Where the Sun in Libra leans one towards the aesthetic and appreciation of beauty, and the Asc in Libra leans one towards a relational outlook, the Moon in Libra is more internally affected and tends to seek harmonious relations over relationships themselves or superficial notions of beauty. The Moon in Libra folks tend to look for a center-place in which all can be at peace. "Distant" is not really the appropriate keyword. That would apply more to Aquarius, Capricorn, or even Virgo. Libra expresses the principle of Venus and relating, so closeness, not distance is implied. Beauty, harmony, balance, justice.

Because the Moon relates to one's own needs, Moon in Libra persons come to realize their own more particular needs in relation to others and their environment -- all things that affect the internal state of being. At least once the person outgrows any people-pleasing tendencies.

The Libra moon (and Mars) I know very well isn't what I'd call distant, but she is doesn't usually let feelings dominate her, even though she's a teenager. Her 12H merc can make it hard for her to find the words sometimes, though when she's had time to refine her thoughts she can be eloquent. Her Cancer sun, Virgo ASC, Aries Saturn, Aqua Uranus, Cappie Neptune, and 12H Leo merc and Venus (along with being born a Fire Ox which adds to her inflexible qualities and leadership/assertiveness potential) imparts very high standards for herself and others, and that can make her seem standoffish at times, even cold and stuck up to some (but not to everyone, and I've told her to ease up on herself more than I've told her to ease up on anyone else).

She reminds me a lot of Hermione Granger (and as that's one of her favorite fictional characters she's glad Hermione does), and that includes in her demeanor and her relationships.

Many boys are attracted to her but her Libra Mars makes her attracted to more elegant men with the charm, manners, and who take pride in his appearance (and also believes that who she chooses as a boyfriend is a statement about herself as well so he has to mesh with the image she wants to project) which when combined with her other placements makes it difficult to find a guy who fits that description AND manages to hold up to her very high standards (I just hope she doesn't get hooked on Edwardian romance novels ) so that those who measure up at first are quickly shown to be flawed somehow (which Libra moon can also dwell upon, especially mixed with her other placements), and the more aggressive guys are likely to turn her off from the start as they tend to be too course for her taste (and having high social status at school, among the academic kids anyway, along with her fire placements she's not afraid to say so), which is a reason for worry to me since she's shot more than a few down and a few of the boys were...very poor sports about it.

Again, she's a teen, I hope she becomes more flexible and also forgiving of faults (her own and of others) as she gets older.

I havemy moon in libra square uranus/neptune, trine saturn with a Scorpio Stellium (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter Pluto), Scorpio DSC, Sun/Mars conjunct Pluto in Scorpio, all opposite my ASC and even I can understand why you would say we are distant or appear that way.

I must admit, my emotions tend to be fickle, but I blame that on my Uranian nature and moreso since Transit Uranus has been opposite my Natal moon for almost 4 years now I believe so my experience could be from a very small time frame in my life. I can still relate though.

I crave closeness and togetherness, but after the usual routine for awhile, I'm ready to break away and do something new. But then again, that could be due to uranus squaring my moon.

I wouldn't necessarily say I always want to be in a relationship, quite the opposite really, however I do agree that Libra moon might attest to why I stay in a failing relationship way longer than I should.

Moon in Libra tends to endow one with physical features that are attractive/ attracting to others(much like Asc in Libra).

If the person is not physically attractive, then the person projects an emotional temperament that is "ideal"(not too emotional ,but not too rational either).

When the Moon is in Libra, it often suggests a mother who put her needs below others. Or did not voice her opinions honestly i.e Did what was expected and said as much. Maybe even behaved much like a metaphorical "doormat" etc.

It could also be the other extreme.That the mother was selfish and self-centered , even vain.

That she always wanted flattery and the praise of others-at any expense etc.

So the Moon in Libra often guards against the extremes of the subconscious ego(Moon) as they grow.

They learn to be confident,but not pompous. To be empathetic,but not emotional. To be kind,but not self-sacrificing.

To them, it is always about striking a balance and ensuring that there are no extremes in responses.

And this search for equilibrium is what they find so attractive/attracting in a mate:As they see the person they are attracted to, to have found a way to "balance" this inner oppositional force.

So their tendency for emotional distance, is so that they can be better able to "judge" a situation better and react with minimal emotional prejudice.

So the Libra Moon will often ask for advice when they come to an emotional dilemma; how best they should handle a situation? What options are available to them? etc.

Most of them(like air Moon) don't want to feel because they imagine that they might lose themselves in feelings and their security(Moon in rational air) will be compromised.

But this changes if Moon- Pluto, Moon-Neptune or Moon-Mars aspects are present by natal or transit.

Then they can act very contrary to what I wrote.

I find the thing about the mother being selfless very true. As for the search for equilibrium, that is also accurate in my experience. Asking advice for emotional dilemmas hits the nail on the head.

As far as being endowed with attractive features, I hope that's true haha!

My friend has moon in libra and she is very in touch with her feminine side but also this influence I feel makes her level headed and objective. She is not clingy or needy and is actually quite independent. She is a cancer with mars in aries and venus in gemini. I would say mars in aries also puts her very in touch with her masculine side as well.

ADD: she allows intimacy to grow however she knows how to protect herself, if she keeps her distance is bec she is not sure about you yet..

Well a sign that trines or sextiles your moon.

But I have two close friends with moon in libra and my moon is in pisces BUT my 11th house (house of friendship) is in libra so it makes sense that I have two friends with moon in libras since the moon represents females and the 11th friendship.
