I absolutely dislike my moon. It’s probably the worst moon ever besides Scorpio or Aries (no offense) . A cold moon placement? Who wants thar? I hate all this Aquarius in my chart. I feel like crying. I read every description of Aquarius moon and it’s a horrible moon. Can I please switch? I’ll take any moon, (exept Scorpio or Aries) preferably water or earth, dang it I’ll even take Virgo moon! Even though it’s opposite my sun. At least it won’t be as cold as an Aquarius. Nothing is good about an Aquarius moon. I don’t like this air. 😾Aquarius keeps haunting me. Crap it even gets in the way in my synastry. Stupid stupid moon 😩😢

What is wrong with an Aquarius moon? I think that Aquarius are pretty decent to be around. A bit overly quirky/relatable for me but it's nothing serious...What has happened that make you hate your moon so much? The moon is our emotional temperament and so Aquarius moon is saying that you may be a bit erratic in the way you express your emotions. Reading your post, it seems to be true! Do not hate your placements and wish for new ones, it's okay to critique yourself but don't be so excessively harsh on yourself. I'm sure you are a fine person.

Change your Moon? Absolutely NOT.

But you can become self aware of how your knee jerk reactions (Moon) tend to inhibit you and consciously respond differently.

Does your Moon make harsh aspects? I find Aqua Moon tricky to bond with personally. I don't fully understand them (as I find Sun in Aqua MORE than enough to deal with)

But my brother has that Moon. And he is pretty friendly so long as u don't get too personal or sentimental. It just makes him uncomfortable.

My ex has an aquarius moon. On my SN no less. Note, he's an ex for a reason!

However, it wasn't all bad. His coldness came from his poor relationship with his mum, and his approach to life was to keep emotional interactions buried, relying on emotional abuse and manipulation tactics to gain influence.

Have you seen Star Trek: Into Darkness?

This quote from Spock, to me, fully describes what it's like to be an aqua moon (from what I've observed):

Spock: You misunderstand. It is true I chose not to feel anything upon realizing my own life was ending. As Admiral Pike was dying, I joined with his consciousness and experienced what he felt at the moment of his passing. Anger. Confusion. Loneliness. Fear. I had experiences those feelings before, multiplied exponentially on the day my planet was destroyed. Such a feeling is something I choose never to experience again. Nyota, you mistake my choice not to feel as a reflection of my not caring. Well, I assure you, the truth is precisely the opposite.

You can use your coolness to your advantage - watch others, and find a way of expressing your emotions that is comfortable for you.

Work through any mum issues you have.

Genuinely, enjoy the fact that you have the choice about how to express your feelings - us leo moons are out there all the time.

My son is a full moon baby, with an aqua moon opposite my moon. I was upset when I found out, thinking 'does that mean I'll be a bad mother to him?'

Time will tell i guess but in some ways it does describe me - I have aqua rising and SN so I have a complex relationship with my emotions. Having seen the way his father is, I'm working hard to help label emotions and feelings so he can connect physical feelings with his emotional state and hopefully find it easier to express them. His moon is in the 9th - so hopefully that means I'm a teacher as well as a mum

Long story short - find the positives beyond the labels. Work with it, make it your friend.

ALL moons have bad sides. And good! But since you don’t like your Moon, I’ll list some things I don’t like about other Moons, including my own Cap Moon.

Aries: childish and sensitive as ALL HELL!
Taurus: money, money, money, sex, sex, sex. Oh, and food.
Gemini: can’t be trusted as far as their nose sticks out!
Cancer: Whiny, passive aggressive, manipulative and a cry baby.
Leo: LOOK AT ME, MY MINIONS!!!
Virgo: Neurotic, stressed to the max, fidgety, analyzes the shite out of everything, perfectionist
Libra: every.god.damn.thing.needs.to.be.freakin.ideal.and.equal
Scorpio: paranoid, distrustful and seething
Sag: The Almighty All-Knower
Cap: cold, barren, calculating
Aqua: (things you mentioned)
Pisces: there’s no drug in the world that won’t fix problems...imaginary or true..

Now, pick another Moon sign

That's interesting, Aquarius Moon is my favourite Moon placement. People can be so different. What I love about them is they show you they care about you without stifling you with sentimentality. I'm sure my Aqua ascendant helps with that.

I wouldn't call them cold, they just express feelings differently. I would attribute coldness (or difficulty in dealing with emotions as I prefer to call it) to moon afflictions or a moon in fall/detriment.

I have a capricorn moon and this describes me perfectly!

SoulofaBird

Aquarius moon is indeed everything you said it was, but remember, you do have control over how you respond to others. One problem I've had with aquarius moon is that they are very inconsistent with their emotions. For example, they will suddenly be very friendly and even affectionate (give hugs). Then they will suddenly withdraw and avoid you without explanation. After a while, their friends get tired of this behavior and end the friendship. Or a friend will confide in them about a problem and they don't offer any comforting words. This leaves the friend feeling unsupported and terrible.

If the above description fits your behavior, it is simple to fix. Aqua moons tend to need a lot of time alone and sometimes want to be isolated. All you have to do is tell your friends and loved ones that you need some time to yourself and that they haven't done anything wrong. Don't keep people in the dark.

If someone tells you their problem, listen and offer comforting words. People sometimes just need to vent and are not looking for you to solve their problems. When you feel tempted to run when people show any emotion, take a deep breath, mentally count to 10 and focus on listening to your friend.

Aqua moon is not all bad. Aqua is calm in emergency situations, highly intelligent and are excellent conversationalists. Aqua moon is very capable of expressing their emotions if they choose to do so. How do I know this? While I have met some very cold Aqua moons (this is coming from a Capricorn moon) that I could never figure out, I also have friends with this moon placement who are loving, loyal and are in touch with their emotions. They overcame their moon's tendency to intellectualize their emotions and were able to fully express themselves.

So all hope is not lost. You seem like a lovely person. An aqua moon doesn't make you a bad human being. Each moon sign has its challenges and no moon sign is perfect.

Hi Soulofbird... sometimes I don't like to hear about my placements as well. These books had yet to be traditional explanations applying to those eras/timeframe -- fatalistic. Without the diversities here on Earth, it won't be as rich. We need all kinds of archetype.

I think in this life time we have to learn to love ourselves as much as we love others. Sometimes we forget that. Go easy on yourself.

Isn't your moon in the 12th house? That really, greatly softens it and alters how you express it. Aquarian ideals met with the Piscean experience. Perhaps some of your frustration is also with Pisces ;D? How about when you check out your synastry with your moon, you also pretend as if you have Pisces moon, and see what Piscean traits you can call upon to even the playing field and balance between Aqua and Pisces energy. Moi, I am opposite you a lil'. I have Pisces moon, but in 11th house, house of Aquarius, so it's sort of Aquarian for me.

Also, Soul, do you know your dom/most influential planet? (if not, give me your bday and I'll find it for you). Your dom planet can change things a lot too.

A lot of people who've got Aquarius moon have difficulty learning the lessons it teaches us. Some moons are a bit easier for some, but Aqua moons do have a tough road, emotion wise. This is countered, or helped, by self knowledge.

And also, do you really FEEL like an Aquarius moon, or is it just the descriptions you don't like?
Because I've read descriptions about my signs, which could be very true for some, but just aren't for me.

Yes my moon is in the 12th house (:
I don’t feel like an Aquarius moon and I don’t like the description of it. I tend to feel more Pisces, but I don’t know. I feel the need to be unique like an Aquarius but that’s all I can think of at the moment. I can be distant with people and stay within myself but I don’t understand how that equals cold and detached. I really dislike my moon. For these reasons. But I don’t know I feel like I have too much Aquarius for who I am. It’s strange I have so much. You may be right about the moon being in the 12th softens it, that’s what I thought then I read 12th house moon description and they dont really say abything about being warm. Just about the unconscious and having issues with your mother. Descriptions of it are very vague.
Since you have the reverse of my moon how are you emotionally? Do you feel more Pisces or Aquarius? And how do you feel it?

I feel at times I relate to Pisces moon description but I probably don’t feel deep enough like one sadly.


If you can find out my dominant planet Id be grateful thanks! Ive been trying to find it out but every site says something different...

SoulOfABird, self-acceptance is more important than astrological knowledge, but astrological knowledge (especially if distorted) may expose the very need for more self-acceptance.

As I have looked at your chart, I have not seen it in negative ways. There is great beauty and humanity in a Pisces-Aquarius emphasis. There is hardly any greater core sensitivity than having Moon in Pisces. Letting it be fully what it is in its positive expressions is another matter entirely.

I hope you can see to it to resolve to let yourself express the best of it.

As to Aquarius, we need people exemplifying its principle coming into its own age. It is your stage now on planet Earth, your limelight. This is not to put a weight on such people, but to say it is the time when Aquarian persons can shine more than in other eras, and do so for thousands of years.

It is your planet, your time. You matter just the way you are.

And yes, there is a way on the path of mastery to change detrimental aspects of your personality, but those must be understood not with a distorted youthful antipathy, but with self-acceptance.

Self-acceptance primes the potentials within each of our own astrological imprints. Without that we have little power and fall prey to the worst in us given permission by our own self-loathing.

I determined around 2005-06 that I needed to change the personality qualities associated with Moon in Capricorn. I'd seen for years, decades actually, how it had worked to my detriment. In the Kryon material it speaks of this explicitly, that we can change anything about ourselves that we don't like. But it does take years, even decades.

The most important thing is self-acceptance. That precedes and is the foundation of the mastery built to give us the power of making such changes. Otherwise, the change is very incremental over lifetimes and runs the risk of regression.

I highly recommend you look up Kryon book 1. It isn't what the subtitle implies at all. It is a book of new beginnings that outlines very clearly the enhanced powers spiritually minded persons have in this age. It allows us to make changes not only in ourselves, but in the world around us -- in the Spirit of Love that is the only power.

If I had not learned this material I would not be typing this to you from Portland, OR as a married man. I changed a lot in my life, and am changing a lot in myself slowly because of what I learned from Kryon book 1.

@Soul

Your dom planet is Neptune. Neptune isn't as "chilly" as Uranus. But, again, the planets are more concentrated and raw than the signs themselves. Neptune can give warmth in a compassionate, sweet, gentle sense. Sensitivity, emotionality, creativity, and Neptune is indicative of someone with strong artistic and musical aptitudes. Your dominant house is also the 12th. Extra Pisces energy there.

I noted your weakest house is the 5th, and your weakest sign is Leo. You either should try to incorporate more Leonian qualities, or, if you by chance get into a relationship with someone, it would be good if that person has some Leo somewhere in their chart, to help you activate it/grow it in yourself.
The thing is, I don't think Aquarius moon controls you as much as you think, because the truth is, I think when someone who sides more with their Aquarian qualities reads about Aqua being detached and cool (cool doesn't have to signify mean or cruel), the Aqua will likely feel this applies to them very well, and will even prefer it over someone being overly excessively emotive. You are plenty warm. And remember, just because something is said about a sign, doesn't mean it has to apply to you specifically. But if you do by chance feel like you've got negative Aquarian traits, then all that is left for us to do is learn about ourselves and make practical adjustments to become masters of ourselves, however much we can.

I am an aquarius moon. My moon is in the 4th house. I love my moon!!! I am very quirky and cerebral but i am also very very emotional and empathetic. I think it might be the 4th house influence. Anyways, i understand that we all have placements that we hate but we are born with them for a reason. Each individual has a lesson to learn and this lesson can ne found in the chart. There is always always something good about each placement

Thank you! I really appreciate what you said because I often feel like I let my placements control me to thinking it’s me even if I don’t feel it. Especially some of the ugly traits, even if I don’t relate to them it affects me into feeling bad about myself. But this was helpful thank you (:
