In fact ime most air moons in general are very emotional but very ****** at dealing with their emotions. I know a 12th house Libra Moon that had serious issues with drug and alcohol abuse, due to wanting to numb their emotions because they couldn't handle them. I know another first house Libra Moon that constantly self-identifies as being extremely numb to their own feelings despite being a Cancer Sun. On top of that I know an 8th house Gemini Moon that is extremely inconsiderate of other's feelings and expects people to take personal responsibility of his own mess (constantly gets drunk, even got hammered at my mother's funeral reception).

Air Moons ime, unless evolved or having some potent aspect helping them deal with their emotions, are usually emotionally immature and unable to handle them. It's different from an emotionally immature fire/water moon where they'll lash out irrationally without considering the needs of others. With air moons it tends to be a need to run away from emotional confrontations and to see emotions as restrictive.

I can't keep myself from taking offence from the statements you make, and I'm not easily offended by stereotypical statements and alike at this forum, hell I do participate in those discussions too.

But this one really is harsh, making out like air moons are weak, immature and prone to substance abuse? Just how many air moons have you met in your life? One has to also concider what type of people one usually interacts with, or other aspects and factors. Substance abuse also I never heard anyone blame air moon for. There is many more indicators for substnace abuse, and moon air, never heard of it. Usually Neptune is blamed for that kind of things.

Anyways in my "experience" and opinion, air moons are good at handling their emotions when the moon is strong with the help of other aspects. One of my closest friends have aqua sun gemini moon. She is one of the most wonderful persons. I have never met the type of air moons you seem to encounter.

I have no idea why people are so negative with the type of air moons who likes to try to understand why they feel this and that way.

People goes to therapy to understand their feelings and behaviours!

While air moons can be their own therapists. Granted though, the person imo needs to have some water in their chart.

Most preferably, a strong pluto, now being plutonic with pluto aspecting sun or moon or mercury and an air moon, those are pretty damn good at feeling and understanting tehmselves and others emotions..

I don't hate air moons, in fact some of the most important people in my life are air moons. This is from my personal experience in dealing with air moons, whether I like them or not. Actually, what irritates me most is how people make out water moons to be these emotionally mature, deep, special beings when everyone can either be good or bad. Having a water moon doesn't automatically make you emotionally mature in the slightest.

Detachment is a primary motivation for air moons dealing with a stressful emotional event, simply because they are more logical and would rather not be emotionally swayed by their feelings unless it logically makes sense to them. It's different from a fire moon like Sagittarius that would rather run away from their emotions and act like everything is fine when it really isn't; emotions aren't common ground for air moons. Moon in Gemini struggles the most with this because they are the 12th sign from Cancer, which represents how Gemini Moons can be their own worst enemy. Sometimes they analyze their feelings so much they forget to feel their own feelings out and numb them in that way.

The 12th house Libra Moon that suffered from drug and alcohol abuse has been someone I've known for at least ten years, and her dad was a Scorpio with a Gemini Moon who died from alcohol abuse. Do all air moons have drug and alcohol problems? No.

Another one of my good friends, Libra Moon and Asc with Sun in Cancer, outright tells me her emotions are so numb she can't feel anything properly. She even told me that if I just dropped her and stopped talking to her that she probably wouldn't even notice; she said she has no emotional attachements to anyone except her biological siblings. Even people who aren't even involved in astrology to be able to hold any prejudices of this kind point out these same patterns to me.

I have a Gemini Moon myself, granted it's highly Plutonian (Moon in 8th opposite Pluto exact, tightest aspect in chart by 0°01') not to mention also intercepted (Gemini and Sag don't cusp a house in my chart). Ironically enough, I was told by a psychic medium I chose to feel pain because it was a comfort zone. Most of the typical air moon stereotypes such as being cheaters, disloyal, etc are ******** , but emotional detachment is something I have experienced from them.

Ok now I understand you better! Thank you for writing this!

Yes I see.. I have not met enough air moons I believe.

I'm Gemini moon (10th) aswell! But as yours, mine is not typical air moon either haha

Its conjunct Mars in Gemini, and chiron,
Opposite Saturn and Uranus.

That saturn sure has a really heavy effect on an air moon. I can feel I have air moon, only by how:
- I love talking about feelings
-I love talking, sharing information, period
-I can be my own therapist also thanks to a pluto-merc-sun opposition. And 8th house stellium.

I feel, so so much its painful. I cant deteach that easily, cant let go (only if I feel I'm done with you, thanks to pluto).

One interpretation of gemini moon by an astrologer is: Its like being at a candy shop, tasting all the flavours there, but then leaving the shop witout taking anything with you. It may suit some gemini moons.

For me it feels like: When I feel emotionally hurt, our stressed out etc, all kind of feeling, all at the same time will hit me like ocean waves. It feels like being hit by waves, they come over me, then pulls back a bit, then over me again etc. After I have experienced that I have to often talk out. Then I can analyze things.
the ocean wave feelings can last for everything from a few minutes-hours to weeks. Tops 2 weeks usually.

Even the air moon descriptors don't resonate with me. I don't talk much; I especially don't like talking about my feelings unless it is with someone who I can trust. People tell me I only leave bits and pieces of information here and there; I only say what is needed and don't leave much info in about myself. Best way for me to describe it is a boiling pot of water inside of a large bowl.

On another note, Im not sure what person mean “detached”. I am often quite puzzled as to what they mean. All I know is that ever since I’ve gotten into astrology this is something I struggle with because I hate thinking that I am trapped into not feeling enough. To the point where I don’t even know if Im feeling enough or what. I don’t know anymore. I haven’t felt so messed up and concious of my emotional reactions ever since I discovered astrology.

I don't even really "sample" my feelings. My feelings are really complicated and I feel them in extremes; I will force myself to feel something until I let it out and then I have dealt with it. Every single time people have told me they thought I was a Scorpio Moon at first.

Wow! That 8th house energy! Your moon sure does soak it up like a sponge! But thats the moon for you, it easily soaks up energies, and flavours. Sounds very intense.

I have 8th house stellium, Venus-jup.node. They are inconj Pluto. But my moon is not in contact with my 8th house, so it seems to not have an effect on my moons gemini energy that much.

You see, people’s descriptions of Aquarius moon is the reason I feel so insecure with my moon sign where I start second guessing my emotions ever since I got into astrology. I really haven’t thought of myself as unemotional in my life. Ever since I was little I cried watching sad movies. Id cried myself to sleep at night thinking about how animals were killed for consumption. I hated when kids bully or laugh at people. Even in elementary school. I always felt for the vulnerable and weak. I seen myself as someone emotional. However people always assumed I’m not because I wasn’t expressive. I didn’t used to think of me being inexpressive was the same as being detached rather I thought it was because I was very shy. Like you guys say Aquarius moons think before feeling, I see myself as feeling before thinking. But people want to label and invalidate our emotions because they think all Aquarius moons are cold.
It is quite hurtful whenever I hear these labels about my moon. I just can’t shake off the idea. I start to wonder if I actually don’t feel at all. It makes worry I just was imagining it and Im actually cold and lack empathy. Which is scary to me. I wish people would be more careful sometimes.
I can’t speak for all Aquarius moons, Im the only one I know. Maybe there are quite a bit of detached Aquarius mooners. I don’t know, that’s something I think only they know. I can’t speak for them all. Just like how Cancer moons are supposed to be emotional, yet my cousin is a Cancer moon and seems maybe more detached/unemotional than me. Is she? I don’t know only she does. But should I assume she is emotional because she has a Cancer moon? No because I really don’t know her better than she knows herself. Unless she says she feels she is.

Aww it really is great to read your experiences and how this makes you feel! <3 <3 <3

And you are very well spooken I have to say. You say it the way I always felt and thought, but I'm not as good at formulating myself like you are!

I'm not as hang up on it though, I mean, I KNOW I feel as much as other moons, and I know I have analyzing capasity. So I just shrug my shoulders and move on.

Don't think too much about it! You already know who you are! Its with everything else in life, you don't let anyone define what being for ex female is, how you should feel and act etc right? Its the same with astrology!

No don't worry about the detachment thing! Its just a general keyword.

Which house were your moon at? and other aspects?

Ok, this is really so ironic, but thinking about thinking about your feelings (yeah weird phrase) is so typical air moons it seems, I don't know if one should cry or laugh at that awww haha.

I just went through very intense period of several months of obsession and feelings of abandonment an d loss and grief.

Finally the beginning of September, I have been able to pull my feelings together. Things that gave me anxiety and feelings of loss, is totally gone now!

And like you described, was just the other day sitting and thinking "Hmm whats happening with my emotions? Em I NUMB?! Where is my anxiety?! Where did it go? What did I do? Em I healed or numb?".

As I was just reaching out for paper and pen to write a MINDMAP (yeah I'm insane that way. merc-pluto ocd) about my emotions, I started to laugh at myself, because its so typical gemini-uranus moon, to start to wonder WHY one does not feel this and that way Anymore...

Hi Lalafortunaea,

I wouldn't feel comfortable showing his chart. Let me just say he's very advanced spiritually and has been working on the self, solo for a number of years. Recently he reunited with a karmic soulmate, did the work that came through with that. Now he has met his twin flame and so is going through the intense, deep soul growth that comes with the process! He is an expert in a type of healing that attracts the twin flame!!
