Re: Aries moons

Lots of examples there!

I can only think of one Aries moon in my life, my ex-boyfriend who joined the Marines right out of high school.

Plutonian situation as in the Moon aspects and placement, then yes I do feel more like a Plutonic Moon person.

I would say my emotional triggers are emotions themselves. I can be emotionally sensitive and when I see people crying in a movie or show, I try to restrain myself from tearing up. This probably explains why I like Scorpios lol. They understand emotional intensity.

When I am emotional I tend to write, which is something that can be attributed to the Gemini Moon bit. I write stories (finished a 120,000 word story already) and I'm influenced by ideas so easily. That can be more Piscean though.

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

Yes, I can identify with this. I am a horrible housekeeper. But, when I am at work, I'm quite meticulous. And yeah, when I get around to organizing things around the house, it's all very minute and detailed, easy to find everything, etc. Nooks and crannies cleaned, all that. But I would hate to hazard a guess as to how often that occurs...

I am very critical of my loved ones in ways, and it does hurt people's feelings.
I see it, I realize it, and I know that it sucks...but it is difficult for me not to blurt things out before thinking of how it will hurt someone's feelings. One of those things I might be working on for the rest of my life.

I think that being appreciated (one Virgo trait I can think of) is one way that my heart is touched.

If I go out of my way to do something for my loved ones, or do work around the house, or whatever it is...it makes me feel super happy when they show appreciation, and notice the effort I put into it.

The Aries Moon (since my Moon is conjunct my Mars) and Cancer Moon (since I have a 4th house Moon) were spot on for me. I get emotional about defending the underdog, about my country, patriotism, family values, core values, etc. I'm happiest when I see (or have) a fighting spirit or a cause to fight for, in the face of adversity. Overcoming all odds and doing well when everyone thinks you'll fail, kind of deal.

Also, with a 4th house moon, I always feel like I need a hug, even though I would be mortified if I ever came right out and asked for one.

Scorpio M. is also something I see in me (Moon opp. Pluto): The lack of depth can make me really, really furious. I might get very opinionated if I don't get a response, opinion, anything from someone around me, it's almost like I am doing it for the revenge... This confuses me a lot sometimes.

posted April 29, 2016 03:26 AM            

I have Moon conj. Mars as well, so to a certain extend Aries M. description fits me, too.

At school as a kid my PE teacher was wondering out loud, how I am so supportive of my team, when playing team sports. I get excited when I can support and give praise. Rooting for "my team" or rooting for the underdog in general makes my emotions come out. I'm going to cry this summer in the European Championships of football/soccer, when the "countries you've never heard of" lose to the expected winners. It happens.

Fighting spirit, overcoming the odds, yes. These make me emotional.

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!

---

Brilliantly put, Faith! You *get* us. Especially about the 'lightning bolts' vs chaos. One 'trivial' example is movie plots. I get into a lot of debates about those. The director is sometimes not true to his own vision, you know what I mean?
Like your friend, I enjoy conducting events too (at my office), and folks love 'em.

And of course, you can put my comment wherever you want.. It's all yours...you 'triggered' it, after all.

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.

(I hope you don't mind me quoting.)

Oh no. I am not looking forward to this. I have only the said Moon transit going on, and already, in just the past couple of weeks since it started, I've started to feel a lack of interest in people. Usually I am very interested in all kinds of people, I love everyone and everyone's so called weaknesses, but now I'm like... I don't give a crap about you or you or you. Will this last for the next two years and more?! Sheesh!

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.

My guesses:

Gemini moons are profoundly affected by words and all manner of expression. The right word (exactly) for the mood and situation, a gesture that is perfectly on point with how they are thinking...that will elicit their emotions. They love having a "twin," someone they can say jinx with, be psychic with, understand on other levels. And also, allowing silence when the time calls for silence. Moving in tandem with someone else makes them happy.

---

I am not sure that I get what you mean about the words, although I read the comments below, but the twin thing etc totally fits for my brother!!! Yes, they love having someone to jinx, hahahaha

Capricorn moon is about solidity and longevity. What is lasting, what is eternal? Their attention spans from ancient times far into the future. They want to align themselves with timeless values. Once they do, whatever they see that reinforces their values and suggests the triumph of those values will elicit an emotional response.

I don't think so. I gave a crap - too much so, at first. But I developed that attitude after having too much trouble with others. Not when I was younger, but a few years ago, and since then. Like, "I can't handle this anymore. I can't be on the receiving end of this and survive." I still feel that way, but Saturn and the progressed Moon seem to follow each other in my chart.

---

Interesting. I am emotionally invested (Pisces, Cancer) very easily, and now when I quite suddenly feel like I can't have it like that (anymore to that extend without getting the same sort of investment back!?), I start to miss it. Thank you for the insight on this!

I suspect that "integrity" is something that may move a virgo moon. virgo symbolism convey the message "not for sale". There is a need to be loyal to inner values. I assume that honesty, humility, true spouse values (walking the talk), industrious in times of crisis (someone able to keep going with daily duties in spite of the world falling in pieces) may move virgo. anything fake or flamboyant may trigger criticism instead. if you have read Jane Eyre or Villete by the same author, I would assume a virgo moon would admire that caracter. my guess!!!

You're onto something there. Honesty and integrity are big deals to me.

Well, it's all a bit confusing now. I wrote those descriptions quickly, in a lighthearted mood, kind of whimsical, not expecting them to be taken seriously.

But since Mercury is Rx, I guess I was confusing, so now I should go back and clarify. Which looks like I'm taking everything seriously.

By "order" with Virgo moons, I honestly meant any kind of order. I wasn't really thinking of housekeeping. Astrological order, order in the court, things being where they belong...that kind of thing.

And when I said they find the weak spots, I just think they are compassionate, can sense where people might feel vulnerable, and will try and strengthen that. And with other Virgo moons I've known, they are outright healers, counselors, and so on.

Anything people wanted to say. I tend to cry at positive things more than negative, so that's where my focus was.

Re: "jinx"

It's just an expression people use over here, when they say the same thing at the same time.

My Gemini moon daughter speaks in unison with her brother all the time and loves saying "jinx."

She is also astrologically very similar to her best friend and usually speaks of herself and her best friend in the same sentence (young teenager phase.)
