Same thing about Cancer Moons maybe. Nothing wrong with crying but when crying leads to more crying and your emotions overwhelm you - your nervous system wears out, hence your physical health suffers. Capricorn Moons do seem to be very mature at how they handle stress or at least they look it on the outside but it does not help looking all right but going to pieces on the inside and getting into deep depression - who knows when and if one will come out of it, dangerous.

Well your ranking presumes there is a propensity towards these "lower" types of escapism. Is that true, is this such a sinking moon? As I see it, for all we know, it's just as likely for a Pisces moon to keep themselves together.

It's strange that one of the "weakest" moon signs is one of the most inclined to deal with difficult people, gravitating towards others who are distressed, in an attempt to soothe them. If you understand how easily a Pisces moon takes on the emotions of the person they are engaged with, it's quite remarkable that this moon willingly and deliberately walks into hard situations, in the hopes of providing comfort to others, even at the expense of their own comfort. It seems typical that this moon is equipped for handling trauma well enough to actually deliberately take on others' burdens in an effort to lighten their load, right? In a way, it's like there is a kind of in-built psychological resilience, to offset and recover from the issues one faces when they are inclined to spend time with other troubled folks.

And I think this is why higher-functioning Pisces moons strive to maintain their innocence and sense of charity as they mature. The greatest comfort one can have when it all goes down (as it will, for this moon) is, "I was trying to do the right thing." Sometimes life is confusing, and there is no right thing, it's just a crap shoot, and that's where it gets really painful.

I have the same aspect and my Moon is in the 8th house, I wish I could be like that but I'm not, at least not when my family is involved.

If I have to react to help others that are not as close to me, then I could get all pragmatical.

Actually, air sign needs to think but when stressed - maybe be alone with their thoughts, yes. I see what you mean. I don't know many people with this Moon sign, only one of my friends has it. When bad things happen in her life, she crumbles but in time what I noticed is that she doesn't just get better, she makes conclusions and thinks everything over to get better. Things need to make sense for her, everything should be explained and there's never one right answer to anything. All air signs have strong opinions (hmm..not exactly right words but ok..), they can often overthink. And their worst problems come from life deviating from what they think/believe in. Aquarius is very idealistic. Someone betrays them - it's a lot more stress than other signs I can imagine.

Moon in Sagittarius

I believe this moon sign is the best at weathering emotional turmoil because they tend to rationalize everything. When the seas are rough, they will start dreaming of tomorrow then the seas are calmer. Once Lunar Sags arrive on the other side of the storm, they'll manage to recapture their cheerfulness while remaining friendly and open to the world.

Moon in Capricorn

This sign will weather the storm with stoic determination. However, the experience will change them from the worst. They are likely to come out the other end bitter, frigid, and a little cruel.

Moon in Taurus (maybe)

The way Aries moons & Cancer moons deal with their feelings is something I admire. Even Scorp moons for that matter.
^I mean, they don't obstruct the flow of emotions - they let themselves feel what they're feeling. Ride it out.

That's a healthy way to cope IMO. As opposed to bottling up, stomping on or otherwise ignoring your feelings - which come back to bite you in the @$$ later anyway.

Yup, I can see that.

Again, I don't think there is really any such thing as "best" and "worst"...respectfully, I disagree with the premise of the OP.

It's not just the moon sign that determines one's stress response, anyway.

Sag moons are the most unstable ones I've encountered. BUT they are, for the most part, good at keeping their spirits up. They might have a big blowout and rage for a while. But they don't let anything get them down (even when it should lol). That approach has its pros and cons. But a certain amount of the "IDGAF" attitude is good insulation in this cruel world.

Anyway, I've said this countless times, that it really reflects the one-sided patriarchal inclinations of a society where the Moon in Capricorn is praised and even envied.

I am not saying that having the moon in any sign is good or bad, it is not. It is both, as for any placement. And as the Moon is, among other things, about dealing with emotions, every Moon has its own toolset of how to deal with them so a hierarchy like this, in my opinion only reflects the subjective value system of people/ society.

Would they happen to be men? Because I've met a few men who told me the same thing, and there's even a song about a man who remembers wistfully back when he could cry.

As a Sag moon myself, I can and do cry, and don't feel bad about it, though I'm not all Oprah about it either. It happens. If it's an emergency I probably won't because I know I need to be clear headed, which ironically means I'm more likely to cry watching a cartoon than when something upsetting happens, but if there's no point in doing anything right then I can cry. I do get over it fast, though.
