I'll be back with my ideas on the subject once I've gathered them.
Warning: They may be confusing and contradicting. :p

Moon matters will influence the house of your partner if it is your moon. If it is his, the moon will influence your house. Like if it's the fourth house and his moon, he could move to your home.

After some thinking...

...generally speaking:


1st house - Moon: The 1st house person becomes a source of emotional identification for the Moon person, who seeks validation and support / mirroring of their own emotional side from the 1st house person. There can be emotional enmeshment and co-dependency if the natal chart / synastry suggest it.

2nd house - Moon: The 2nd house person becomes a source of security for the Moon person through physical / financial / material / emotional stability (ex: food, shelter, validation). In turn, the 2nd house person can nurture and take care of the Moon person to meet their needs and make them feel safe. Or, if the aspects are negative, they can feel like the Moon person takes too much and gives too little.

3rd house - Moon: The 3rd house person becomes a source of communication and exchange of ideas for the Moon person, who seeks them out for verbal exchange. The Moon person can be compelled to share their emotions, feelings and ideas with the 3rd house person and there can be a lot of talking and "chatting". The Moon person may look for emotional reassurance from the 3rd house person through words and ideas. The Moon person can seek validation of their emotions in what the 3rd house person says or believes.

4th house - Moon: The 4th house person becomes a "safe haven" for the Moon person, who sees them as a "homie" - someone they can share personal things with, feeling comfortable and at ease. There's a sense of familiarity, the kind that makes you feel accepted and welcome just the way you are (imagine a healthy family interaction). If the aspects are challenging, the opposite feeling can emerge: uneasiness, feeling emotionally "naked" and unprotected.

5th house - Moon: The 5th house person becomes a source of romance, creativity, fun or sexuality for the Moon person, who inspires them to indulge in those activities. The Moon person relies on the 5th house person to bring them some fun times or to facilitate their self-expression, creativity or romantic side. If the Moon or the 5th house are natally challenged (or via synastry), both people can be frustrated because of the lack of romance, spontaneity or fun in their relationship.

6th house - Moon: The 6th house person becomes a source of practical support and help for the Moon person, who seeks them out on a daily basis or when they need some help with their health, work or any other situation. The Moon person can encourage the 6th house person to take better care of themselves and offer them advice as to how make their life easier / more organized. The 6th house person can become part of the Moon person's daily routine. If there are afflictions, the 6th house person can feel like whatever advice they give to the Moon person doesn't help them and it ends up frustrating them because they feel helpless when it comes to the Moon person and their emotional & daily life.

7th house - Moon: The 7th house person becomes a natural partner for the Moon person who sees them as someone they can be close to in a one-on-one relationship. The Moon person can be of assistance to the 7th house person when it comes to their relationships or the way they relate to others. The Moon person can develop, or hinder, the 7th house person's ability to function in a one-on-one relationship. If there are afflictions, the Moon person can be wary of the 7th house person and there can be emotional rivalry of some sort.

8th house - Moon: The 8th house person becomes a source of emotional depth, psychological complexities and intrigue for the Moon person, who can see them as interesting, complex, mysterious or emotionally private or chaotic. The Moon person relies on the 8th house person for emotional transformation and purging of their past conditioning. Depending on the aspects, this can be very nerve-wracking and unpleasant for both people (although usually quite compelling). The Moon person can awaken the 8th house person's desire for emotional and physical intimacy, and vice-versa.

9th house - Moon: The 9th house person becomes a source of mind expansion and broadening of beliefs for the Moon person, who seeks them out for philosophical, religious, cultural matters. The Moon person can be reassured or upset by the 9th house person's beliefs and ideas, and may want to change them because it becomes an emotional matter for them.

10th house - Moon: The 10th house person becomes a source of admiration or inspiration for the Moon person who may find them as successful and like they have their act together. The Moon person may seek the 10th house person for advice on their career, social standing, or overall improvement of their status as an individual. If the overall condition of the Moon is good, there can be lots of mutual respect and admiration.

11th house - Moon: The 11th house person becomes a friend or "buddy" for the Moon person who seeks them out to share ideas, talk about a wide range of subjects, and basically make their brains work. The Moon person may encourage the 11th house person to adopt new ways of thinking or behaving, and broaden their social circle. There can be a sense of kinship and belonging to the same "gang". There can be mutual goals or aspirations and an overall similar view on life.

12th house - Moon: The 12th house person, or the Moon person, becomes a source of reflection on emotional complexities and psychological mechanisms. The Moon person may "trigger" the 12th house person emotionally, mentally and spiritually - by shedding light on their unconscious / subconscious ways of thinking and behaving. This can be a touchy position if the Moon person doesn't know how to handle the sensitivity and traumas of the 12th house person. Otherwise it can help the 12th house person bring some issues to light, and the Moon person can nurture and empathize with the 12th house person's emotional traumas and hidden aspects of themselves.


(!) The condition of the Moon in the natal chart, and the aspects it makes in the synastry, are crucial. If the Moon person hasn't learned to deal with their Lunar issues, they may bring some issues to the house person and affect their houses (life) negatively. Conversely, if the house person isn't at ease with the Moon person's behavior, they can react to the Moon person in a way that will hurt them and exacerbate their Lunar issues.

Generally speaking, the Moon person brings "light" to the house where it falls, and brings focus in that house. The house person reacts to that focus and in turn, accepts or resists the Moon's light (that would be seen in the natal aspects and in the synastry, and level of consciousness of both people).

But both the Moon person and the house person affect each other. So, while I talked about the house person being a source of something for the Moon person, it can also go the other way around - there's an exchange of energies at play.


Another important thing is to see what aspects the Moon receives in the natal chart, and how they in turn affect the other person.

For example, imagine Sally has Moon opposite Saturn. She meets Ben and her Moon/Saturn opposition falls right on his 1st/7th house axis. So, Sally's looking for emotional identification in Ben, but her insecurities and emotional issues make it difficult for her to trust him or to let go emotionally and be open with him, and that in turn directly affects Ben's self-image and his sense of partnerships / relationships. He may, for example, start doubting his own worthiness or his ability to handle emotional complexities, and as a result feel incompetent in his relationship with Sally, or like it's too much trouble (which then confirms Sally's negative belief of her own unworthiness or lack of trust in others - Moon/Saturn).

If this same opposition falls on the 2nd/8th house axis, the problem could be due to Sally feeling like she can't, or shouldn't, give too much or ask too much from Ben - maybe she denies her emotional needs, so Ben doesn't know what she needs or wants, and in turn he can't satisfy her needs (because she represses them or doesn't express them openly). That in turn, can affect their emotional and physical intimacy negatively (Saturn - blockages) and create a lot of frustration and rensentment and conflicts.

Now, let's take a positive example.
Sally has Moon trine Neptune natally, and her Moon falls in Ben's 5th house, while Neptune falls in his 9th house. Sally can bring out Ben's creative side, make him feel special, like he's an interesting person who is talented and should express himself creatively and/or romantically, and in order to do that, she uses compassion, art, new inspiring ideas, ideas related to foreign cultures or travelling... Basically, she expands his mind and encourages him to be more "himself" by using her nurturing (Lunar) and inspiring (Neptunian) qualities.

Someone with a moon in my 8H cured my addiction - some deep sh*t addiction. I helped him clear a lot of past resentments. So sometimes it goes both way.
My moon trined his pluto, so it felt like a DW.

I'll give a few real world examples from my personal experience on how these have manifested.

My Moon in my husband's 1st house:
He's Virgo Asc. and I'm a Virgo Moon. He is a typical Virgo, with all the good traits and all the bad. He can be one of the most negative, nit-picky, hyper-critical people you have ever met in your life. He's a super perfectionist who never thinks anything is good enough, and when you make him happy on one point, he just hops to the next thing to criticize. Fault finding is his number one talent.

Now, I say all this with love, because we've been married for 22 years, and if you've been married to a Virgo Rising for 22 years, you have earned your medals. I know for a fact that the only reason I can still love him long after many people have just had enough of his critical pessimism is because my Moon is in his 1st house conjunct his AC.

My Virgo Moon can relate to him. The difference is that I may feel unsatisfied with the way something is, or may be unhappy with a result or a situation, but I may choose not to voice it openly. I may just make the decision to override my moon and let by-gones be by-gones or let it go. I take more of a "choose your battles, don't let your battles choose you" approach. His Virgo AC is more likely to outwardly vocalize the criticizism, however. He WILL let his unhappiness with a situation be known and will not just let it go. My Moon will empathize with his dissatisfaction and agree with him emotionally. This makes him feel validated and understood, and when I sense the emotional comfort he gets from feeling validated and understood, it, in turn, makes me feel needed and loved. So, I can see how this Moon placement helps in marriages.

My husband's Moon in my 2nd:
This creates a comforting sense of emotional security for me. I help stabilize his emotions. This is a very sensual placement. I love to touch him. I love to touch his face. We hold hands all the time. It's a very cuddle inducing placement. It adds a very Taurus like sense of security and sensuality. He also has said my values make him feel emotionally secure.

The negative is that sometimes he treats me like a possession. Also, his moon can feel too "fixed" and "stable" for my liking sometimes. I have Pluto conjunct my Moon and squaring my Sun-Venus by 1°. Pluto also rules my 5th house, so sometimes I just want some drama, obsession, etc. His Moon is in Leo, and with it sitting in my 2nd house, it can feel way too stable for me. Sometimes I just want to shake him and get a more dramatic emotional reaction out of him because he likes to keep his emotions steady. Ironically, he hates losing emotional control, but when he does, those are some of the times I think he's the hottest and I want to jump his bones. It sets my Pluto on fire.

My Moon is my 8th house ruler, and widely trine shis 8th house ruler, Pluto (4°04 degrees).

And where this 8th house ruler-aspect manifests is:

for him:
my Moon in his 12th - his Pluto in his 7th

for me:
my Moon in my 2nd - his Pluto in my 10th


Seems for me it is more stable.

8th house - Moon: The 8th house person becomes a source of emotional depth, psychological complexities and intrigue for the Moon person, who can see them as interesting, complex, mysterious or emotionally private or chaotic. The Moon person relies on the 8th house person for emotional transformation and purging of their past conditioning. Depending on the aspects, this can be very nerve-wracking and unpleasant for both people (although usually quite compelling). The Moon person can awaken the 8th house person's desire for emotional and physical intimacy, and vice-versa.

9th house - Moon: The 9th house person becomes a source of mind expansion and broadening of beliefs for the Moon person, who seeks them out for philosophical, religious, cultural matters. The Moon person can be reassured or upset by the 9th house person's beliefs and ideas, and may want to change them because it becomes an emotional matter for them.

10th house - Moon: The 10th house person becomes a source of admiration or inspiration for the Moon person who may find them as successful and like they have their act together. The Moon person may seek the 10th house person for advice on their career, social standing, or overall improvement of their status as an individual. If the overall condition of the Moon is good, there can be lots of mutual respect and admiration.

11th house - Moon: The 11th house person becomes a friend or "buddy" for the Moon person who seeks them out to share ideas, talk about a wide range of subjects, and basically make their brains work. The Moon person may encourage the 11th house person to adopt new ways of thinking or behaving, and broaden their social circle. There can be a sense of kinship and belonging to the same "gang". There can be mutual goals or aspirations and an overall similar view on life.

12th house - Moon: The 12th house person, or the Moon person, becomes a source of reflection on emotional complexities and psychological mechanisms. The Moon person may "trigger" the 12th house person emotionally, mentally and spiritually - by shedding light on their unconscious / subconscious ways of thinking and behaving. This can be a touchy position if the Moon person doesn't know how to handle the sensitivity and traumas of the 12th house person. Otherwise it can help the 12th house person bring some issues to light, and the Moon person can nurture and empathize with the 12th house person's emotional traumas and hidden aspects of themselves.


(!) The condition of the Moon in the natal chart, and the aspects it makes in the synastry, are crucial. If the Moon person hasn't learned to deal with their Lunar issues, they may bring some issues to the house person and affect their houses (life) negatively. Conversely, if the house person isn't at ease with the Moon person's behavior, they can react to the Moon person in a way that will hurt them and exacerbate their Lunar issues.

Generally speaking, the Moon person brings "light" to the house where it falls, and brings focus in that house. The house person reacts to that focus and in turn, accepts or resists the Moon's light (that would be seen in the natal aspects and in the synastry, and level of consciousness of both people).

But both the Moon person and the house person affect each other. So, while I talked about the house person being a source of something for the Moon person, it can also go the other way around - there's an exchange of energies at play.


Another important thing is to see what aspects the Moon receives in the natal chart, and how they in turn affect the other person.

For example, imagine Sally has Moon opposite Saturn. She meets Ben and her Moon/Saturn opposition falls right on his 1st/7th house axis. So, Sally's looking for emotional identification in Ben, but her insecurities and emotional issues make it difficult for her to trust him or to let go emotionally and be open with him, and that in turn directly affects Ben's self-image and his sense of partnerships / relationships. He may, for example, start doubting his own worthiness or his ability to handle emotional complexities, and as a result feel incompetent in his relationship with Sally, or like it's too much trouble (which then confirms Sally's negative belief of her own unworthiness or lack of trust in others - Moon/Saturn).

If this same opposition falls on the 2nd/8th house axis, the problem could be due to Sally feeling like she can't, or shouldn't, give too much or ask too much from Ben - maybe she denies her emotional needs, so Ben doesn't know what she needs or wants, and in turn he can't satisfy her needs (because she represses them or doesn't express them openly). That in turn, can affect their emotional and physical intimacy negatively (Saturn - blockages) and create a lot of frustration and rensentment and conflicts.

Now, let's take a positive example.
Sally has Moon trine Neptune natally, and her Moon falls in Ben's 5th house, while Neptune falls in his 9th house. Sally can bring out Ben's creative side, make him feel special, like he's an interesting person who is talented and should express himself creatively and/or romantically, and in order to do that, she uses compassion, art, new inspiring ideas, ideas related to foreign cultures or travelling... Basically, she expands his mind and encourages him to be more "himself" by using her nurturing (Lunar) and inspiring (Neptunian) qualities.

So based on this it’s the Moon person that feels it and not the house person?

I'm still learning a lot about astrology, so I don't have an expert opinion, but I can share my own experience with these overlays.

I don't think it's just the planet person that feels it - it doesn't seem to work like that, in a silo. At least not in my own experience. The planet person will affect the house person, but the house person's response really depends on what's happening in their own natal chart, and what is affecting their 8th house or its ruler.

For example, in my current relationship, both my moon and uranus (7 degree conjnuction natally) fall in his 8th house. I'm a scorpio moon, so I'm already used to my dark and twisty bits being in the 8th house. What I'm not used to is openly having them exposed to another person through their own 8th house. That's been... intense, to put it mildly.

Is he affected by this placement as well? For sure. Essentially, all my dark and twisty, complex feelings/sexual longings have suddenly become open to be shared between us. For me, there is almost a compulsion to share this part of myself with him. He reciprocates by being able to 'see' and 'receive' this part of me in a way that feels safe and non-threatening for me. That right there, is the kicker. It's as though he provides a safe container for this exchange to happen.

He, in turn, says that he feels this intense chemistry, or this exchange as well. Maybe it helps that his uranus is also in his 8th house. We're both Aries ascendants, to our house placements mostly match.

On the other hand, his 12th house moon falls in my 12th house, tightly conjunct my own sun. Do I feel that? Oh my god, do I ever. That's another ball of yarn all of its own.
