The Moon
represents the more impressionist side and the inner
feelings and emotions portraying us from within. It
indicates how we express our nurturing instinct and the
style of immediate emotional-feeling response to
experiences. With an altogether mysterious side, Moon shows
our hidden aspects.
The Moon goes through all the Zodiac within its 28 day cycle
and enters a new zodiac sign approximately every 2 1/2 days.
The position of the transiting moon (moon's current
position) helps determine the general moods of people. The
moon sign positions greatly influence the outcomes of events
involving human interactions. When the Moon is in certain
zodiac, the characteristics of that zodiac sign color the
moon's expression.
The moon rules over issues related to family and interaction
among family members, social gatherings and general
proceedings in the home environment. All the above incidents
are greatly affected by moon's sign position.
The moon sign, when taken in combination with the Sun sign,
tells about a person and is an essential part of learning
about yourself. The best way to find out about the moon sign
is to visit an astrologer for a private reading.
Moon in Aries
The Moon in Aries is in a domicile (of Mars) that is not
congruent to her nature. It has the keyword "desire". In
this position, Aries have quick thinking, with a love of the
instantaneous and get bored with minor practical details.
Straight, with no hidden agenda, Aries have a warm heart
spreading out to those who need comfort. The guiding forces
of Aries are: persistence, aggressiveness, impulse,
originality in thought and action, quick temper and
impatience.
Aries are enterprising and in the long run, they must learn
to control their impulses, for a combination of excessive
confidence, tendency to overreach and insufficient
forethought can lead to their downfall. These people are
flirtatious, adventurous, intrigue-seeking and
quest-oriented.
Moon in Taurus
The Moon in Taurus is a natural domicile with the key word
"determination". People are emotionally very strong and form
loyal bonds of friendship. They are known to test
relationships to see if they stand up to a challenge. The
chief characteristics are patience, stubbornness and great
fixity of purpose. The Moon in Taurus is an intensely
materialistic positioning for the Moon, inclining the
natives to extreme obstinacy, self-will, tenacity of purpose
and to love of ease and luxury and the consequent
gratification of physical appetites.
The most sensuous placement for the Moon, when in Taurus,
enhances the powers of memory retaining the impressions.
They seldom change their minds and once they decide, they
would stick to it come what may. Conventionality and
conservatism are inherent in their nature. They are also
lovers of good food. Women with the Moon in Taurus often
attract men of settled mind and occupation. There will often
be a strong romance in their love affairs. The natives
incline to friendships of quality and can magnify their
problems out of all proportion. They take up occupations
that deal with real estate, property, art, design, jewelry
and business.
Moon in Gemini
The moon in Gemini is considered to be weak and its key word
is duality. Nervous, witty and changeable, Gemini's thrive on
communication and the cut and thrust of the social world. A
changing lifestyle suits them with a preferred job in media,
travel as well as sales.
The mind is practical, seeking and ambitious and craves
recognition. Although the mind may be brilliant, it is
generally superficial and emphasizes talent.
The Moon in Gemini is not a very favorable position. People
with the Moon in Gemini may be acute in their mental
processes, quick to receive impressions and forming
judgments. People of both sexes with the Moon in Gemini are
frivolous, light-headed, inconstant and somewhat shallow.
Both sexes may chose their partners for their ability to
entertain and interest them rather than for any substantive
domestic purpose and both sexes may be flirtatious. The
position is favorable for an investor, accountant,
journalist, research worker, librarian or dancer.
Moon in Cancer
The Moon is in her own royalty in Cancer with the keyword
solicitude. The Moon is really not as strongly or
purposefully placed here as in Leo, Aquarius or Taurus. The
native may be inhibited and frequently escape in the
imaginary world. Sympathetic, kind and compassionate they
are sensitive to others' feelings. The mind is very
impressionable and meditative with an excellent memory. The
native seldom seeks external stimulation. Fond of home and
parents, he/she is quiet, placid, peaceful, gentle,
affectionate, and romantic. The emotions rear up at every
opportunity, whether love, fear, grief or joy. Sometimes,
they may expect others to see and feel the world as they do,
and nothing is worse than having their poor sensitive heart
ignored and rejected by other less sensitive souls.
There may be cycles of amazing energy flow and activity and
the mood has the capability to fluctuate through its full
range within an hour. Although they can be giving and
generous, there is usually a string attached. Women with the
Moon in Cancer are said to make ideal spouses and mothers
and are capable of occasional intrigue. Many of the natives
may delay marriage, perhaps because they are late bloomers.
They make excellent artists, musicians, and poets. The
positioning is a difficult one, especially in a man.
Moon in Leo
When the Moon is in Leo, it is the natural domicile of the
Sun and the key word is pride. People born with the Moon in
Leo are almost fanatical about their freedom. They can be
assertive and take advantage of opportunities. There is also
the capacity for self-sacrifice. Their mentality is robust,
strong, and decisive. A natural leader, people exude energy
and drive. They are generous, encouraging, optimistic with a
sense of style and are brilliant at creating a one act play
to put everyone on their toes. You love excitement and
action, and can be fabulously romantic, but you expect the
works in return.
They may sacrifice everything in the cause of righteousness
and justice, evolved types portraying great power of will
and enormous determination. Leo strengthens the mentality
and the positive forces of the mind. It is said that Leo and
Aquarius are two of the best positions for the Moon, Taurus
and Cancer next. Usually conservative and discriminating,
they possess a deep and consistent love nature, and once
their love is aroused, they will respond with unstinted
measure. These natives have an innate ability to make others
dependent on them. They cannot be convinced against their
will, nor be swayed against their emotions. The Moon in Leo
also strengthens the influence of the Sun especially in
Aries and Sagittarius; also when Cancer is rising and the
Moon falls in 1st or 2nd house. It cannot be dominated even
by their loved ones. Lunar Leo is not the rough-and-ready
sort that an Aries, Sagittarius, Capricorn, or Aquarius
lunar can be. For a woman this positioning may be a little
less desirable, for being strong-minded and determined, she
may choose a weak male whom she can dominate at will.
Moon in Virgo
The Moon in Virgo is mind unimpeded by passion and flesh
with the key word criticism. With this lunar position, there
is no indecision or confusion of the mind. These people are
sociable, logical, clear headed and always seem to be busy
arranging the next big event. Although they work well behind
the scenes, unlike the Leo Moons, sometimes have a strong
social conscience and question the status quo, not accepting
things at their face value. Since the sign is ruled by
Mercury, so communication is vital, particularly if it
involves facts and information rather than dreamy
philosophies. These people have a strong personal code of
conduct and set high standards, regarding loyalties towards
friends and loved ones. It is difficult to be around them,
let alone to live with them: they are, among others, the
Back-Seat Drivers of the zodiac.
The Moon in Virgo may influence her native even stronger
than the Sun in Virgo. These persons are fussy and entertain
strong prejudices about everything. They are also the
hypochondriacs of the zodiac. The Moon in Virgo bespeaks a
kindly, humane disposition, domesticity, melancholia, and
superficiality in matters of the heart. The truly evolved
ones live largely to serve humanity without much thought of
self. The women among them frequently take nursing,
dietetics, teaching, and secretarial work as careers. Both
sexes are self-contained and talented in a uni- directional
way in something. Women with this lunar position are
considered to be cold blooded and overly ambitious.
Occupations in accounting, bookkeeping, banking, or as
literary critics, librarians, inventors, real estate
operations, chemists, and druggists are ideal for them.
Moon in Libra
The Moon in Libra is considered as one of the best positions
in the zodiac having the key word decision. The Moon in
Libra accentuates turning points in destiny: decisions which
have to be balanced in relation to acts and ultimate
destiny. The Moon in Libra enhances the aesthetic
perception, the beautiful and harmonious in art and in life.
These people are charming and creative and their diplomacy
skills are beyond question. They love to initiate new
projects but can get bored when the first excitement wears
off and cast around for the next thing to be involved in.
The Libra Moon cannot be said to confer any notable
character or backbone. Instead, it manifests in terms of
grandiose schemes and magnificent ideas which have a
tendency to expire still-born. While both sexes may be
romantically amorous, they are notoriously fickle and
wavering in romance. Women with this placement are more
idealistic than domestic. Both sexes are generally popular
socially and make friends easily. Although they are
financially motivated, they can be reckless, careless,
and/or squandering. People with strong Libra presence in
their charts are said to be frequently the cause of their
own troubles.
Moon in Scorpio
The Moon in Scorpio has the key word Ulterior Motivation.
With the Moon in Scorpio, depth, passion and intensity imbue
the relationships of people. They know no fear when it comes
to choosing who is in their life. With a strong moral
conscience, the strong intuition and psychic abilities of
the natives allow to see below the surface. The extremism of
Scorpio also manifests in this dimension. They are
intelligent with a cold and calculating mentality and
motivated by spiritual considerations. A native here must
have similar thoughts frequently, for they are likely to
endure fully the temptations and tribulations of life.
These people are strong and forceful. These persons can
become superb occultists and astrologers and are sensual,
emotional, materialistic and secretive. Their mind is very
acute, and being a fixed sign, they are not taken off their
chosen course of action. The Moon in Scorpio is said to be
better for men than for women. In either case, marital
infidelity and generally a messy emotional life is very
likely. They remain deep and mysterious throughout life. The
position is favorable for jobs in medicine, surgery,
chemistry and investigative work.
Moon in Sagittarius
The lunar position for Sagittarius is risk-taking with the
key word enthusiasm in the domain of Jupiter. The natives
are conscious of their bodies and strive to perfect it. To
them mind and spirit is seemingly connected to the body.
They love independence and do not like to be trapped either
physically, intellectually or emotionally. Adaptable, they
attract many friends with their gregarious nature. They are
not necessarily materialistic and experience counts more
than the acquisition of objects. They firmly believe in
justice and fair play and help out anyone who is in need.
All natives with this placement are eternal students with an
urge to higher education.
Sagittarius is the sign of astrology and prophecy and posses
inexhaustible energy. They are actively philosophical both
physically and mentally. They posses a brilliant mind, the
intuitive faculties are keen and their judgments poised.
With a dynamic temperament, they are impulsive, magnetic and
forceful. They are often blunt and outspoken and think that
their sincerity gives them every right to be blunt. They
hate anything hidden or secret and their temper is such that
they can blow a fuse over trifles and incidental details.
Patience may be the most difficult quality for this native
to master. They are the natural linguists of the zodiac. The
Sagittarian breadth of vision is remarkable. The women
attracted to them may be the higher type: refined, somewhat
ethereal, yet passionate within.
Moon in Capricorn
Moon in Capricorn is one of the least desirable positions.
Key word is Management. The chief characteristics are lack
of sympathy, innate selfishness and self-preoccupation. The
natives have an earthy practicality, giving dependence and a
sense of responsibility towards those around them. These
people could be loyal and unswerving when eventually give
their heart to someone else, and would stick around when
others have given up. They have dignity and tenacity and a
realistic vision of the world as it really is, not as others
expect it to be. Sun-in-Virgo-Moon-in-Capricorn is said to
be the most practical of all Soli-Lunar combinations.
The natives display reverence and concentration of mind. The
mind of the native is generally very keen, acute, active,
far-seeing, and given to plotting and scheming. With a rapid
mental response, they are all-comprehensive and somewhat
antagonistic. Moon in Capricorn foreshadows defeated
ambitions and dreams, misfortunes at the hands of women,
occupational and financial troubles, credit difficulties and
all sorts of other misfortunes. The Moon here bestows
something formidable, a hint of arrogance, air of dignity, a
lust for power and recognition and a craving for financial
power. The Native does not encourage others taking liberties
with, or seeking to approach him/her on too intimate terms.
The Moon in Capricorn is said to be better for a man while
women with this placement can turn off most men. The Moon in
Capricorn favors positions of executive, administrative,
public and organizational positions and commercial pursuits.
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon is in a fixed position in Aquarius with the keyword
disinterestedness. The Moon in Aquarius is more evenly
balanced than in any other sign. The native may be more
involved with humanity than any one individual. They are
idealistic and able to care for the global village but could
be a little detached when it comes to those closer to home,
paradoxically. They posses integrity and honesty, cannot be
accused of double dealing or cheating and are not likely to
ask for help when in trouble although are ready to help
others.
Aquarius occupies one of the most sensitive points in the
zodiac. They are well-liked and have strong religious and
philosophical instincts coupled to a humanitarian urge. The
Moon in Aquarius not infrequently foreshadows sorrow and
changes occasioned by others. The Moon in Aquarius is said
to be better for a man and in a woman it can take away (real
or on the surface) warmth in emotional responses. This lunar
position is notable for the absence of jealousy and
possessiveness, the absurd vices of Leo, Cancer, Taurus, and
Scorpio natives. The Moon in Aquarius favors all forms of
humanitarian, political, and educational pursuits,
exploration in all fields, authorship, and astrology too.
Moon in Pisces
When in Pisces, the Moon is in the joint domains of Neptune,
Jupiter and Venus and the key word is anxiety. Sacrifice is
closely associated with this moon sign. These people have
strong creativity and a desire to make the world a better
place to live in. It is hard to define boundaries and these
people can be accused of getting involved in other's
problems, without being asked. The most secretive of all
signs, the moon in Pisces is typified by indecision and
indolence, sensitiveness, submission and by a negative and
receptive attitude. They have a natural aversion to
acceptance of any facts in the presentation of which no
allowance is made for the element of idealism. It is
primarily a placement for a woman.
Natives with afflicted Moon (by Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and
Neptune) may be influenced in the direction of mental or
elemental obsession. Pisces is the domain of spiritual
rebirth. The Moon in Pisces can be very powerful. It makes a
great psychic and gives flexibility of emotion. People born
in the Sign of the Redeemer are natural worshippers of
beauty.
Lunar Pisces are very loyal to their friends. The powerful
imagination and impressionability of the lunar Pisces tend
to inhibit their emotions. Women natives incline to romantic
attitudes joined to self-sacrifice. Lunar Pisces generally
succeed best in fields and pursuits requiring intuitive
judgment, discretion, assiduity, and detailed work. They do
well as entertainers, dealers with liquids of all sorts,
promoters, seafarers, and detectives.
