I often accidentally am dismissive of others feelings. I can empathize but most of the time it takes deliberate effort on my end.
It's as if it's the difference between justifying feelings with logic, or justifying logic with feelings. (No idea if I'm making sense) I was going to attempt to give an example but then I suddenly felt lazy. IP: Logged |

^^It's easier for me to be patient with people when their troubles make rational, logical sense. Like putting the cart (logic) before the horse (feeling.) I think my Mercury in Aquarius feels most comfortable with that. But sometimes I myself get emotionally off kilter and can't justify it. edit IP: Logged |

Faith, I wrote a similar response to my sister years ago, when she was crying so much that she was getting sick, after a huge fight with her boyfriend. Rather than expressing the anger I felt at her boyfriend, I tried to distract her enough to calm her down (she was in canada, and my parents had just walked in, and dropped everything at 10pm, to drive up to get her - only to have her tell them to go home when they were in canada). In response, I got something like, "I just broke up with my boyfriend, and you want me to be happy?" with some swear words thrown in. Nope, I didn't expect that at all. I can be both things, though: calm and rational (honestly - I feel like I need to justify that comment somehow, because of how emotional I can also be). With my sister, I couldn't win either way that night, or with any comment in that sort of situation. IP: Logged |

Air Moons tend to function more from wanting to "express".Water moon tend to function more from wanting to "imprint" So when I walk into a room, I am responding always to what is around me; the people, the vibe and the atmosphere. I have difficulty deciding which is which; am I responding to the environment? Or is the environment responding to me? Maybe both? With Air Moons that I know,they tend to project externally i.e. they care very little how things are on a subtle level(and barely notice). But they immediately feel the need to express themselves on whatever situation that they are confronted with. I don't express my feelings easily. But they are so apparent as I do get moody. And people pick up on that. I had an Aqua Moon friend whom I found to be less evaluative of emotional states than I was. For emotional water Moons, the evaluation of self and emotion within in their intricate way-is very therapeutic. For logical air Moons, the evaluation of the many possibilities available to react(detached from the subjective self), is also therapeutic. What Air signs read as water Moons being "sappy". Is the water Moon getting in touch/in tune with their emotional vibrations. What water Moon signs read as air Moons being "indifferent". Is the air Moon getting in touch/in tune with their logical mind. Its two differing world really. And balance can be attained if the water Moon has air Venus/Sun/Mars or the air Moon has water Venus/Sun/Mars. IP: Logged |

I've seen some air moons (not all!) very expressive of their own emotions while unwilling to play the role of listener. They have a handle on their emotions, the temperature is to their liking or within their control. So no matter how upset they are, venting and complaining and getting out of whack, it makes sense to them intellectually, so it feels okay.When faced with another person's emotions, they often react as if to say, "Ugh that is too hot! Too cold! Not right!" Even if the other person is complaining about the same thing they were just complaining about.... Well I love air moons (best friend is Aqua moon, husband Libra, daughter Gemini) but it's a challenge, as a Pisces moon, to figure out how to relate sometimes. Usually I just zip my lip because I know they don't want to hear any whining. 
Agree. Coincidentally, my best friend is also a Pisces Moon haha. But I am changing. I try to listen to others and provide solutions and analysis. I am a very emotional Aqua moon as my house is in the fourth.
