Is it Scorpio Moon? List Moon signs in descending order, top one being the most resilient. I think water signs apart from Scorpio (who needs strong emotions/feelings and knows how to rise above them) are the weakest. The next weakest group is fire signs because they are so sincere, warm, very reactive, impulsive and really care about everything, Sagittarius being stronger than Leo and Aries because it's a mutable sign, very optimistic and can find the good even in the bad. Earth signs are strongest because they're realists, practical and understand that pain and dealing with it is part of life. Air - somewhere in the middle.

1 Scorpio Moon ----- Moon in fall, I know BUT anybody else thinks it's a strong one?
2 Taurus ---- calm, stable, objective. Moon in exaltation
3 Virgo ---- proactive, realistic, organised, sound mind, just gets on with stress by compartmentalising feelings.
4 Gemini ---- needs distraction and mental stimulation to get over something traumatic that's happened
5 Sagittarius ---- too naive, like a child, needs something positive to deal with trauma, seeks that light at the end of the tunnel
6 Libra ----- tries to find the balance again to get better
7 Aquarius ----- needs to be alone and find something good to look forward to to get better
8 Leo ------ is a very loyal human being, takes things too close to heart
9 Aries ----- must have an outlet for emotions but in life there's not always an opportunity to have that outlet
10 Capricorn ---- bottles emotions down making it worse for themselves, can get depressed. Moon in detriment
11 Pisces ---- doesn't deal with emotions, tries to escape them but unsuccessful
12 Cancer --- feels emotions too strong to the point of being unable to deal with them

Now I just add my own pov, cause it differs a lot!

And I would say there is a lot more to it, than just the moon sign, there is also the aspects and house position... but moon is a beneficial planet so the house it touches, will flourish and bloom throughout the individuals life They will gain from it, and feel rewarded here. Bad aspect too the moon that would add a lot of stress, is definitely squares and oppositions to any planet, but especially mercury/saturn/uranus I think makes one prone to worrying too much

But here is my list anyways, given that the moon would contain the same aspects and house position in any sign, in theory

1: Cancer: Cancer moon would be the strongest imo, cause moon is ruled by cancer. They are sensitive and emotional yes, but they also know how to cope and got a lot of inner self-confidence. They feel worthy, and knows how to tackle any feelings in a mature way.
2: Leo: Just out of experience I think many leo moons are doing great... its a fixed sign and the fixed signs seems to be kinda ok if placed in the moon. I don't exactly know why though... but moon in leo people seem to be very confident and know their strength and know that they can shine wherever they go. They always keep their spirit up no matter how hard it seems.
3: Aries: These people definitely got a huge drive and they do everything with great enthusiasm and power. They are willfull and stubborn, but not obsessive or fixed... they just know what they want and usually get it in the end. I also think they are great at living in the moment, and they never hold a grudge, they move on quick after stressfull events
4: Aquarius perhaps? Because they can keep a cool and detached distance towards their emotions, something that is very necessary if you want to cope with stress and negative thoughts... and they are also really good at social gatherings
5: Taurus: Because they are just so calm and peaceful... even though they can become very obsessed and fixed on something, they usually take it very slow and they rarely get distracted by other peoples negative thoughts... they also got strong minds, and can be very determined.
6: Capricorn: Again an earth sign, I just think they do well here in the moon, because they are very mature and not too sensitive, and they work with emotions in a more logical way, which could be good when dealing with stress or trauma
7: Scorpio: Perhaps scorpio should have been higher up on the list, but I think they can become quiet obsessive and jealous, which is not especially constructive when dealing with stress... they can easily boil over with emotions and become rather groomy or even dark
8: Sagittarius: While they are a mutable sign and highly sensitive, they are usually always extremely optimistic and even spiritual... they keep their faith high and always see the light at the end of the tunnel and believe in the good
9: Libra: I really don't like the most libra moons, they are extremely sensitive towards others, and they quickly begin to doubt everything around them and get insecure... but at other times they get overly confidence at the expense of others as well.. its like they just cannot find the balance between themselves and their close relationships.
10: Gemini: They tend to overthink everything when placed in the moon... they need constant stimulation from everywhere, or they become restless. They have a hard time finishing stuff so their moral is also pretty low. They usually dont become much is my experience :/
11: Virgo could go both ways I believe... either they think too much, or they learn how to cope with their thinking . Also they seem extremely sensitive towards medicine, alchohol, smoking and bad habits. They need to have a healthy lifestyle or they can be prone to suffer mentally and physically more than others
12: Its the same with pisces, only that its 10 times worse. And pisces also get sooo easily distracted and detached from the real world. They daydream a lot, and they get affected by others too easily. Even if they are happy they can get instantly depressed if they run into someone who is also depressed... they suck up everything around them like a sponge, and cannot cope with it.
They need to surround themselves with happy people, and good-hearted people who can make them relax.

Cancer moon can be a tenacious one. Pisces moon can be the most selfless in dealing with stressful situations. Taurus is definitely stubborn. Virgo moon is sometimes easily overwhelmed. I'd say cap. They chop wood and carry water in rain sleet or snow. Aqua from the saturn influence but they can be a high strung as well.

I would say Capricorn. Taurus is pretty good, too.

Ouch!

I would actually prefer to be a "nobody" rather than live what some people consider to be successful. I would like to make a positive difference, and I do handle stress well at times. I have managed to give good advice at times - I even talked my mum through things at times.

Now, when I'm overwhelmed, I need to cry it out in the shower, then have tea, watch something, if I'm not too exhausted, and then be distracted. There are times when I'm climbing the walls, and know that I NEED to get out. Normally, if I'm distracted and have company, and can get away from what's upsetting, it helps. Or knowing that someone is there to help me. Sometimes I need to be by myself, and other times I really need company. This is where I miss my mum: dad will keep me company, but mum would sit with me late at night, if she was feeling up to it. I would finally have to tell her to go to bed, but I appreciated her sitting there, watching a movie with me.

Writing it out can also help. Sometimes I post when I'm upset, or I'll write privately. Just get it out. I carry a notebook around with lists in it, or to jot things down, and sometimes I'll write so that I don't vent to someone out loud.

Gemini Moon conjunct Venus, square Mars in Pisces. Inconjunct Uranus/ascendant. Trine Pluto. Sextile Jupiter. I'm probably missing something.

Puppies help, too. As do cats/kittens, grown dogs, whatever. A wiggly Boxer pup, and an excited, happy Pug, made my day(s).

Don't be sad dear.We are always struggling to "become much" here (what is much anyway?) but ego has an insatiable appetite.How many people do what they truly love or have passion?That's why we see so many of the so called sucessful people on drugs and depression.We don't see what's behind the curtain and facebook posts.

Finding happiness within ourselves (our essence) is the hardest mission here and stop living to fulfill the world expectations is a everyday-struggle.

That's pretty much an urban myth, IMO. What really happens is they can *appear* to keep distance from their emotions - because they choose not to act on them. Pretty much stifle their flow. In other words, the famous Aqua logic reasons out a situation and chooses to act with their higher mind (or at least what they think is their higher mind, since they usually have an attitude that says emotions are "human frailties" which they must learnt to do without).
So, if there's a situation that requires them to do something they terribly dislike - they'll grit their teeth and do it anyway "for the greater good". If they act on their feelings, it leaves them with immeasurable guilt for being petty and selfish for doing so.
They choose rationality because it gives them some measure of peace, and much less guilt.

All the trans-personal moon signs tend to try to transcend their emotions in some way. Each has an ideal they hold dear. They sacrifice feelings at the altar of that ideal. Cap moons do it out of a sense of duty. It goes against their grain of ethics to violate this sense of duty. Aqua moons hold human rationality in much the same light. They (we) think it's a gift that must be honoured. If we can *think* better than our feelings, must we not be better than our feelings too? Of course, there's a flaw in that reasoning - but that's another story. Pisces moons being the last of the transpersonals and a water moon, combine the approaches of water & transpersonal signs.

I'm a Gemini Moon. When I'm stressed, I need less stimulation and some time to myself. When I'm dealing with emotional turmoil, I only need those close to me to help me feel better. It's often effective for me to talk it out with someone, because in most situations my emotional turmoil is relatively simple to relieve. However, when it comes to trauma, my mind cannot handle it. I think if I were to experience trauma at this age, my mind would break. So, Gemini Moons probably aren't the strongest Moon for coping with traumatic experiences.

Yeah. I just ignore stuff like that cause I think it's silly and I know who I am, and I think I've achieved quite a lot in my life (despite my short attention span).

Maybe I shouldn't have laughed, I don't mean to sound rude...but overall, it can't be said of any sign that they don't become much.

And I don't believe in a "best" way to deal with turmoil. So many ways, equally valid. And we all may vary, between episodes of turmoil. Sometimes you stare out into oblivion, asking God why He has forsaken you. Sometimes you go kickboxing. Sometimes you talk it out with people, and sometimes that makes things better but sometimes it backfires and makes it worse. It all depends....

I really like this.

I read spiritual books and try to apply what I learn. My friend who is a 12H moon does the same, so we share books and discuss them, have a similar frame of reference.

K I think I'm done spamming this thread...

G'night everyone

I was talking about escapism. Nothing wrong with drinking to 'transcend emotions' at you say but when it leads to alcoholism for example, or some other addiction - that's escapism. 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.

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.

I wonder to what extent this square adds a scorpionic feel to your Capricorn Moon. I have an Aquarius Moon square Saturn so if that makes my Moon more Capricorn-like then it can be explained why I can't talk about how I feel when baaadly stressed.

Any Scorpio Moons here? I know how you deal with stress of partner cheating (they are dead for you after that). I would like to know how you deal with death.

I think we feel first but we don't like to show our emotions. That's a no-no. I think in general Aqua Moons don't like to be seen as emotional people, they like to be cool. So that's where the thinking part comes in - 'how do I make sure people don't see I'm in pain'? Solution - be alone for some time with my thoughts, no people. That's just me at least.
