Hi all,

I've just written another article, this time about the Moon through the signs. I wanted to write a few blog posts outlining the basic planetary principles of astrology. Rather than writing only for other astrologers, I want to bring astrology to the general public a little more.

Anyway, regardless, it doesn't mean that I've got it all 'right'. What do you guys think? Have I described your Moon sign in a way that you recognise? Have I been a little harsh with a few? (Obviously any position can be mitigated by other emphasis in the chart, but a learner won't know how to take this into account).

Feedback very welcome and happy new Moon in Gemini to you all~~~~~

First off, nice descriptions, though they could be a little more detailed, a little less vague. There's a lot more that could be said about moons. Also, you might want to reread it when you get a chance, as there are errors/repeated words.

Secondly, you weren't too harsh at all. If anything, I like it when good and bad traits are equally talked about. I don't like articles or posts that only focus on good qualities and skirt around bad qualities. It's much more multidimensional when all aspects are mentioned, giving depth.

Lastly, your banner up top could use a revamp. The BG blends with the words and makes it hard to read.

hi Waxlobter, thanks for inviting feedback.

It is funny i was thinking about writing something about the moon myself here. it is associated to how people search for emotional balanced when they are upset depending on moon sign.

an interesting book from Saportas and Greene about the moon inspire me in that regard.
https://www.amazon.com/Luminaries-Psychology-Horoscope-Psychological-Astrology/dp/0877287503

moon in gemini according to how i feel resonates with what you said, but i would take away the word "drama" or maybe contextualize in more generalized ways. gemini is not about drama (let's leave that to Scorpio moon or even Leo/Aries moon). Gemini needs are to fulfill curiosity and to express/communicated feelings verbally. when the play "trickters" and "mischevous" roles and bring drama to situations are out of curiosity to understand what makes people click and what push butons in people. I get what you said in your blog, i am just thinking about a less familiarized person reading that gemini is all about "drama"... the archetype of mercury is key here, he is quick and mischevous and kill the turtle to make a Lira (not out of cruelty). there is a cold, detached way of looking at emotions in gemini moon. that is why they can easily speak about their emotions.

when upset, a gemini moon needs "communication". if you shut down the communication channel, it is very frustrating for gemini mooners. think about a capricorn moon. they tend to need time alone when upset. instead, gemini moon need to talk to someone who really can understand them well. Something I have noticed it is that people who get me emotionally it is people who "listen" properly. nothing annoys me more (moon conjunct mars widely) that people who pretend to listen or who are doing something else (chating with someone) or doing something that requires lot of concentration) when you are talking about something emotionally charged. that is very frustrating for gemini moon.

on another note i wonder why did not decide to write about the moon in relationship, how does your description of the sings is any different from

sun,venus,moon in relationship?

I do not see so much the emphasis of the moon theme in your description. do you know what i mean? if you were to write an article of venus in relationship and go over the signs, how what you have written would be any different?

Husband: Taurus Moon (Cap Decan)
Description fits him well. He’s a rock! Until you pi$$ his Aries Sun off and then.....yeah, RUN FOR THE HILLS!
Besides this I see him as very dependable, faithful. He loves to be physical and he loves to work with his hands and nature. He is very “basic” and hates pretentious people. He needs money to feel safe and will work very (!) hard to achieve his goals.

Me: Cap Moon (Taurus Decan)
I am a little less stable than my husband as I have lots of Uranus going on but I am faithful.
I need money for security and will work equally as hard as my husband for it but I won’t “use” people to achieve my goals. I like taking the hard way to the top..
I can’t handle drama and I need people with stable emotions. I also can’t stand manipulative people.
Despite being a Cancer Sun I am a very atypical Cancer Sun.

I think the description for my Moon in Aries is very accurate, shockingly so. How did you know I despise people who love to use the victim mentality and plot their way to get ahead in life (*cough* Cancers and Libras *cough*)!!!


I think we also look a lot like our Moon signs. I often guess the Moon sign in people before anything else these days. It's strange.

Hi Lalafortunaea,

Thanks for your feedback, yes all very true. I did want to get the article up before the weekend but I think I will set aside an hour or two next week to sense check and elaborate on some of the descriptions. I guess the fact I was in a hurry has come over, as for the banner, yes definitely. I will revamp that too. :-) I really appreciate your comments, thanks again :-)

Hi Nordic soul, many thanks for that. Yes I take your points on board fully. My experience with Gemini Moon has been dramas but these people did mostly have strong Pluto placements, so my summary is unfair.

I have an inordinate amount of Gemini Suns in my life, it is a sign I personally resonate with a great deal. I totally do see that the 'drama' is fascination. Hahaha and I don't dislike that, quite the contrary ;-)

PS - regards the second question, well I *do* plan to do that. I want to slant towards synastry before writing some pieces on synastry specifically :-)

I feel like that's what drama is though? Purposely egging people on to get a certain reaction out of them? How else would you call this if not "dramatic"? What other word can there be for this type of situation ? Out of curiousity/intellect or just for the hell of it, it is still drama

As a Gem ASC I think the sign is indeed very dramatic in all displays, especially the Moon in Gemini. Not very fond of this moon because of the tendency to be overtly dramatic and energy draining on others. I think the most dramatic moons I've ever seen are the Aries moon, Gemini moon, Cancer moon, Leo moon, Scorpio moon, Libra moon, and Pisces moon. They are all drama queens in their own way!

Debby4, thanks so much for the positive feedback. I guess I kept it succinct as I usually want to look at the house, aspects etc. too 😊

Charlie,

That's really interesting about you and your husband. I'm sure the earth resonance is very bonding too. I'm so glad it made sense to you. Thank you for your feedback 😁

I hear you. Gemini will not shy away from "drama" and I can see (including me) gemini mooners stirring drama here and there for the purpose of finding how how people react. I do not think it is evil intention though, but a curiosity about emotional make up of people. so yes, probably Libra would run away or even Aquarius. here, a difference between these three air signs.

no, one thing is "do not shy away from drama, or provoke other people, than saying people moon are DRAMATIC in their emotional expression" that is not what I mean. Leo like drama, aries react forcefully and sometimes dramatic. you will not find gemini moon reacting that was (unless mars, pluto or other dramatic planet is next to it)... so if you have found dramatic gemini moon without pluto or mars aspect i would be interested to hear about these gemini moon. we cannot confuse a person with gemini moon, with the concept of "gemini moon" itself. we are talking about archetypes, not about person having that arquetype combined with something else.

ok, let me explain that again.

dramatic: a person that acts dramatic (leo moon, for instance)

provoker of drama: gemini moon, but they are cool, detached and laughing when all the dram is going on.

i do not know how to convey the message. one thing is to provoke dramatic reaction in others, one other thing is to act dramatically yourself...

did you get it now?

I unfortunately did not see where it shows your article

But in tropical I’m a Moon Sagittarius
I can relate to Sagittarius moon because I do say whatever I think. I’m extremely honest and I won’t spare anyone’s feelings. I clear the air and give the truth because I hate lies
I’m also terrible at keeping secrets. I’ve kept probably one secret and that’s my best friends secret and it’s not like it’s a tense situation where I’m constantly around her family and getting the urge to rat her out or anything


But since I am a libra in tropical I feel it is important I be FAIR and discuss my other half the Sidereal side
In vedic I am a Moon Scorpio and I am a very passionate and cautious person
I don’t open up easily if ever. The internet is vastly different for me because it may seem like I spew out all of my thoughts but really I’m super guarded in real life I take a long time to feel comfortable saying anything other than what’s short and sweet and expected of me because I do feel our situations first

But likemg Sagittarius moon I do get restless. I like to travel but I’m not so much interested in other people’s cultures. I am a tad but I’m more into other things. I could be more interested in it is all I’m saying.

Hi Desiring Shadows,

It's on my autosignature, but link is here for ease: https://waxlobster.blogspot.com/

I still need to change that banner, just thinking about a better picture to put behind it. Unfortunately google blogs do not lend themselves well to graphic design, it usually takes about 20 previews before I end up starting to go a bit nuts! ;-)

I have no interest whatsoever in Vedic. It doesn't suit me at all, that's not meant disrespectfully of course. I simply believe it's written for a different cultural context. Just as I use bach flower remedies which are (very) local to me, and have no interest in using the bush flower ones. If you have everything you need, why search for more...? :-)

I do love Moon in Sagittarius, they help me lighten up and always make me laugh¢®Kgreat placement for the Moon.

It wouldn’t work when. I clicked the link in your signature.
Also it says topical astrology not tropical.
Also I’m not light hearted at all. But I do appreciate the compliment or idea behind the notion.

I think a positive of the moon in Aquarius (the sign not the system)
Is a very intelligent sign. I met a moon Aquarius Jupiter Sagittarius who was always reading. She’d read like ten novels in a week.
I also met a moon in Aquarius scorpio sun and he was hitting on me of course but he knew a lot of factual things. Things that don’t interest or concern my scorpio Jupiter but anyways.
It’s a smart sign placement!
So is Moon Aries.

The least smartest sign placement imo is moon in libra and I wouldn’t even say they aren’t smart they just are dirty and gross in a way. But I can pick on any sign.
I met a moon leo at a party and she was way out there over the top and she of course was wearing high heals and a very revealing top.
I think you can tell people’s charts by what they wear in vedic astrology. But maybe with tropical you can probably correlate it also. I think astrology should be for growth and spiritual understanding maybe not always facts and statistics.
