I am probably most sensitive to when I feel people view me as a bad person. I try so hard to be "good", helpful, useful, thoughtful of others, etc... So when someone hints that I am not so great, it really upsets me.I am a Virgo moon trine saturn and (widely) sextile pluto I cry all the time, almost everyday. I am moved especially by stories and videos where emotions are uninhibited...Stories that show the timelessness and everlastingness of love... When people are brave enough to really show how deeply they feel for someone. IP: Logged |

I agree, in my case as well. I have to think it's my Pisces Sun again, which is also in H8. My husband has a H8 Sun as well, and even he does that pretty often, actually. With a Cap Moon, lol. Not trying to derail the thread, just contemplating. I'm still trying to figure out what moves my Virgo Moon, ha. IP: Logged |

They permeated the whole thing and then it "sings" to them.
Stop Solarising my Neptune already!  You had to shine that bright light on my shadowy existence.
Yeah, I see 'beauty' in logic. I love seeing things fall into place, fulfilling a universal order. Sometimes it's so clear, one feels like saying "how could you/we not see this coming?" It's like some divine truth is expressed by a melody..the notes have to be just so, to coalesce magically and make everything in and around them meaningful. I also agree with what Violets & Aries23Degrees say though. Soft spot for the 'underdogs' or people who are damaged/mentally effed-up/in need of help in some way (Virgo Venus?). Simple expressions of humanity and/or kindess, really move me. (I think I was talking with you on some other thread about this --) Almost every time I've 'gone off the deep end' emotionally.. Witnessing some random act of kindness or goodwill pulls me back. "There's still hope for us..." If I try to answer your question, though -- it's so hard to distill what my 'triggers' are into clear thoughts and words... But these ^ are definitely some of them.  IP: Logged |

I swear Faith you should have a website, you are so uncannily objective whenever it comes to pinpointing the differences between the signs! The Aqua moon one is dead on for me, and the Cap moon one also resonates  IP: Logged |

Thank you all so much for your replies!Thanks to anyone who thought I did a good job here. #WingingIt meyrey & Violets, yes I meant..."What triggers an emotional response?" not "What emotions make you want to pull the trigger??" LOL ~ Mercury Rx *** Also, good to see how many of us are deeply touched by compassion, universal themes of kindness, heartfelt gestures. Seems like something we all have in our emotional DNA.

Thank you! I want to plagiarize this, and put it in my original description. My best friend has an Aqua moon and she was my main study for what I said. She is realistic, keeps people's rhythms in her head, and it's like she can tell how everything will or will not harmonize...and she is really good at figuring out how to "conduct" a situation so it plays out according to the master plan. Her parties are amazing, because of that. She should be a wedding planner. And I see other Aqua moons doing the same kind of thing, noticing and engaging with patterns. Any break from the usual pattern can be annoying...they don't like randomness...with their finger on Uranus' pulse they usually know or can sense what the surprises actually mean. There's a difference between lightning bolts and chaos. They like the former and punish the latter. LOL Take me with a pile of salt, of course! IP: Logged |

I think something is wrong with THEM if they don't see how nice and helpful you are! Then it's sad to see others' blindness... IP: Logged |

I'm late here but yes, the descriptions totally rock! Can also confirm the Aries Moon one. Am no veteran myself (not in this life at least lol) but grew up with a bunch of them and have actually taken my kid to pay our respects to the graves of soldiers who fought for our country's independence - on a holiday. She was too young to complain. (And, as a teen I was somewhat infatuated with Seargent Elias from the movie Platoon when my friends liked Michael Jackson or Patrick Swayze or other such artsy dancer guys, I guess that says it all. )IP: Logged |

Same I can just relax so much if I get a sense that really can tell who I am, what I'm about, and are still okay with it. Then I get choked up with relief, if it hits me all at once. 8H moon, and yours is so close to the cusp, I think it counts as 8H. IP: Logged |

Kidding! =) Virgo moon loves order, they also love to help others. And they will find your weak spots and work to strengthen you in those areas. Demonstrate the healing they supplied you with and they are happy for you and for them. And it doesn't hurt if you are impeccably clean and smell good all the time. That never hurts. .
Nailed it, the whole thing! I know you were playing regarding the cleanliness thing but actually it reallh affects us. We try to play it off but its a very stressful thing, its a definite trigger for saddness to me. If im with ppl who im always cleaning up after amd its a never ending cycle of them messing up what ive worked hard to keep up with...i will eventually get depressed from it. Resentment grows and dislike for them follows.... Unaspected Virgo Moon in 12th....its taken me a long time to identify my Moon but i do feel it now, and helping others fill in their gaps makes me feel like im really accomplishing something.
I like feeling like in some way ive helped to teach them to fish(metaphorically) helping to feed them for life if they listen and grow from what i give. That makes me feel good. IP: Logged |

I'm not sure why I skipped over the Aries Moon description initially (probably just reading the ones that are closest to home first, I guess).That is spot on about Aries Moons, from my experience. I have a ton of them in my life for some reason, and yes... My step-mom married a war veteran (my dad), and my brother joined the Marines as soon as he was of age. When he opted out of the military, he became a sheriff (both Aries Moons). My cousin (Aries Moon) married a man who was a cop, but due probably to his Pisces Moon, he also switched careers and became a basketball coach. (My brother is a Pisces Sun, so I'm not sure how he will do with the job of sheriff, I hope he'll be okay with it.) IP: Logged |

Agree and really wonder how is that even possible, people to find you not so great lol..Ok, I dont really know you, but from the way you write and the thougths you share, it seems rather obsurd/impossible, just ignore them! Their loss!!!

Love moves me emotionally. Being in love, listening/watching/reading really touching love stories or stories for universal/invincible love of all kinds (I mean of people in general, not necessarily for a couple). Although I am not a fan of romantic comedies or movies of this kind, but if I really feel the truthfulness and importance of a story that depicts true love, I am a total sucker for it. I cry rather easily lol, in general I mean. Moreover, stories about people that had their fair share of difficulties in their life, or for entire ethnicities for instance, I identify with them rather easily, since the story of my own country, nation and family is full of them, too.
I love to help others, too and feel a bit disappointed if I offer my help from the bottom of my heart and they dont want it lol.
I have absolutely NOT good relationship with order, I am not so messy, its that I find it so difficult to keep the order constantly. Sooner or later it will become a mess again, hahahaha. No, I dont consider the dishes as a token of love, but I will be enchanted if someone pays attention to the details of things I like, I mean I will feel closer to them, etc. I pay attention to details, too, so the only good thing with that is that when I decide to put an order tk chaos lol, I am good with details, but this doesnt happen often
Unaspected Virgo Moon here, maybe thats why I dont really identify much with the description of virgo moon, sorry Faith 
Hope I helped somehow anyway (and I honestly mean it, since I really identify with that particular aspect of virgo moons) ETA : Basically, I pretty much agree with missblyss above, but of course I felt like I should add more details, its a classic, I dont write comments, Faith, I write whole essays, hahahaha
*facepalm*  
ETA 2 : I just reread your OP and would like to add, I dont think I find blind spots to others and even if I find them, I am definitely NOT critical to them, since my mom does that a lot (virgo sun, merc.) and I hate that. I hate whenever I am "forced" to be even the slightest critical to somebody, because I dont want to hurt them. If there is a real problem that thwy should work on it and ask for my help, then I ll try to tell them something in a discreet way, if its a person really close to me and finding a blind/weak spot of them is sort of urgent, then I act on it but I am really careful how to put it at the same time, so that its not at all critical and judging..
As for cleanliness/good smell demands, not more than every average/normal person really...No obsession or something..
The whole description in fact pretty much sums up my virgo sun/merc. mother, but not so much me..

Mar,I do consider you healing, though! I didn't mean you see the weakness and criticize. I mean you see it, get out your psychological tools, and try to heal it. My Virgo moon friends have been healers, all of them. IP: Logged |
