Hello, loves! 💜 Thank you guys so much for the support on my first post. I was not expecting that 😂 I hope you all are staying safe and doing well!
For this post, I’m going to describe a brief overview of what the Moon represents, the Moon in the signs, and the Moon in the houses. I’ll be basing most of my responses off of my experience since my friends and family members have almost each Moon sign. I hope you guys enjoy this!
I know someone closely with an Aries Moon at 0°, which means they express this placement at its purest energy. Aries Moons can be intense. They always want to be busy, oftentimes physically. Without something to do, they feel restless so they create projects / activities for themselves. They live in the moment. My favorite thing about them is their playfulness. They might like to roughhouse with their friends, family, or significant other. They love to joke and make others laugh. They’re very observant. They could be crass at times, just for fun 😂.
They have this youthful, energetic, playful energy to them that others might not understand and perceive as childishness or immaturity, but those Aries Moon have a serious side, too. They know when to work and when to have fun. People with Aries Moon typically have strong opinions about things and they aren’t afraid to express them. They might have a hard time handling their emotions, but this also depends on the house placement and aspects. This is fiery energy, so they could experience their emotions strongly but move on from them quickly. Can be quick to be defensive and get impatient. Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of action and drive, so with the Moon here these are their basic instincts. Very hardworking. Lots of natural inner strength.
Moon in the 1H
They could be the type to wear their emotions on their sleeve. Others might read their emotions easily. Very reactive. They could also express themselves quite naturally and freely. Might take on more of a Cancerian appearance. Larger, roundish features. They have a comforting, caring aura to them that others feel drawn to. This placement could also be difficult because the Moon is our private life in the house of the public and appearances. It could be hard for them to have privacy.
Moon in Taurus
Strong inner resolve. They are probably very grounded and stable when it comes to their emotions. They could approach emotions logically since this is an Earth sign, but since Taurus is ruled by Venus, they probably do so with grace. Very romantic and sentimental. Another hardworking placement. Might feel like they connect with others through affection. Probably does not appreciate being surprised. Good instincts.
Their inner child might be somewhat subdued or they don’t express this part of themselves often. Might be private when it comes to their emotions. They might mull over their emotions for a while, and they probably are really shaken by change. Needs stability, routine, and dependability to feel safe and secure. Very committed to whatever they set their sights on. They probably know what they need to feel safe since this is a fixed Earth sign - this will probably not change often. They’re a good person to go to for advice. They have a calming, down to earth energy about them. Very trustworthy.
Moon in the 2H
This individual could find that expressing their emotions, expressing themselves, or helping others express their emotions is financially lucrative for the native. This person’s natural emotional state is grounded and stable. Definitely a sentimental placement. They have a special attachment to their possessions since they remind them of memories they hold close. Emotions could be valuable to them. They probably like someone who makes them feel secure and safe. How they earn money might relate to emotions and the ability to nurture and care for others.
Moon in Gemini
Their intelligence is a core part of who they are. They can pride themselves on their intelligence. Might view emotions analytically. I hesitate to say they don’t like emotions and are flighty because I feel like that’s a stereotype. However, Gemini can indicate youthful energy, so it’s possible they can handle their emotions immaturely. Gemini’s can be contradictory since they’re represented by the twins. Maybe Moon in Gemini handles their emotions better than others think or vice versa. Or as they grow older the way they approach emotions changes vastly.
Someone with their Moon in Gemini probably likes to talk about feelings in general since Gemini is an Air sign and ruled by Mercury. Gemini is mutable so their emotions probably also change quite frequently. Could be moody in a restless way. Might feel comforted by conversation, humor, thinking, and learning. Maybe even uses humor as a defense mechanism. I can see them being interested in learning about their emotions or others’. Might overthink their emotions, making them feel overwhelmed or stuck. Probably feels misunderstood often. Moon in Gemini likely can see emotions / emotional situations from many different angles.
Moon in the 3H
Very good at articulating and explaining their feelings. People probably come to them for advice because they give off comforting vibes when it comes to emotions. This could also make someone in-tune with other’s feelings since this is a social house. This native likely feels very close to their siblings or neighbors. Might write about emotional things. Probably good at poetry. They could help others heal by speaking or writing about difficult things. Might feel connected with others easily. Good memory.
Moon in Cancer
This is a very strong placement since the Moon is in its sign of ownership. Intuitive, moody for real lol, very caring and warm. They make people feel comforted by their presence. Might feel like they’re here to heal others. They can naturally get in touch with their moods and others’. It’s possible their emotions might be overwhelming and intense since this is a Water sign. Could be empaths or highly sensitive people. Very accurate intuition. Can also be defensive or “crabby” when upset. When hurt, they could retreat to protect themselves or lash out harshly.
Their family probably played a very critical role in their lives, or they want to protect their family. It might be hard for them to let things go. Cancer Moons could tend to accumulate things to feel secure. They probably like to spend a lot of time alone. Very creative placement as well - they might express themselves through something creative. They feel most secure and safe in their home or with people who make them feel at home. They need someone who they can trust and to bond deeply with, and when they do, they’re very committed. They could struggle with creating and upholding boundaries with others. You deserve empathy and care, too. Take care of yourself also, love.
Moon in the 4H
Very similar to Cancer Moon. This is a powerful placement for the Moon. Might feel particularly attached to their upbringing in a positive or negative way. Lots of nostalgic vibes. Might hang onto the past. Very family-oriented. Could feel at home when they’re loving or nurturing something / someone. Might live near the water. They could also take great care of their home. Might feel like they’re meant to have a family, or they could create their own family of friends and loved ones. The water houses are typically private, so their emotions might seem closed off to others until they feel comfortable around them. I know someone with this placement and they like to spend a lot of time by themselves. They will always protect their loved ones.
I get dramatic emotions from this placement. Their feelings probably feel larger-than-life and expansive. Could express themselves passionately. They would probably be great actors since they have a theatrical nature already - but not necessarily since this is the Moon we’re talking about which is our private self. Probably secretly likes to be the center of attention. This placement is the meeting between Leo, ruled by the Sun (our ego), and the Moon (our emotions) so their emotions could be tied to their ego, or they might know themselves well or identify strongly with Leos. Very prideful, too.
They like to lead and be in charge, and they might understand this instinctually. Could get energy from making others laugh and entertaining them. This could be how they show their love and affection. Probably also got a lot of attention as a child. They likely have a close relationship with children. Also uses creative hobbies and interests to soothe themselves. Strong-willed. Highly likely they have a protective instinct to take care of their family. Probably bossy. When they’re hurt, be rest assured, they will let you know 😂❤. Very stubborn. They might surprise others with their inner strength. Giving and generous.
Moon in the 5H
Might find it easier to express themselves and show how they care through art or their hobbies. Could be known for how they express themselves. The 5th house adds warmth to the Moon sign. Children, creativity, and entertainment will play a large role in their life. Emotional needs are tied to playfulness and self-expression. These people know how to enjoy life to the fullest. Very romantic also. Could have a rich inner life.
Moon in Virgo
These people love to help others - this is truly what makes them feel fulfilled. These people can also be bossy :) Conscientious, dedicated, and helpful. They could use work to cope with emotions or to distract from them. Could work in a career that requires them to be nurturing and empathetic. Organized or just dislikes clutter. This can definitely be a perfectionist placement. These people place so much value on their work. They want to continually improve and be noticed for their dedication.
They’re also very observant, more so than people think. They notice subtle changes in people’s moods and words. Probably very private about their feelings. They believe in the separation of emotions and work, or they want to keep their private life private. Could be good at compartmentalizing things. Also could look at feelings more analytically, but since Virgo is ruled by Mercury and is a mutable sign, they could overthink things quite often. Because of this, they can become their own obstacle. They definitely feel secure and safe when they’re prepared because it makes them feel in control. Moon in Virgo loves feeling useful and needed. They will freely help others and wish to be recognized for their efforts.
Moon in the 6H
Routines and work give them comfort. This can be a workaholic placement. They need their career to be meaningful and to help others in some way. They want their home environment to be clean and clutter-free, or they have things arranged in a specific way. Could base their worth on how useful they are to others in low states. Their emotional state can affect their health easily and they can be very physically sensitive to their mood changes. Could be very in-tune with their senses. Mix of mental and emotional strength.
Moon in Libra
This is a very romantic position. Probably romanticizes love and relationships or thinks about these things often. Their emotional wellbeing is tied to other people since Libra represents relationships with others. They probably have a strong sense of right and wrong, but can struggle making clear decisions when it comes to their emotions. In low states they might overemphasize the importance of relationships or feel like they need to be in a relationship to be whole. Remember we are whole all on our own ❤. They are probably also very invested in matters of justice or try to look at emotional situations fairly. Might support others through relationship issues. People with this placement also might be a little gossipy or be very interested in other people’s relationships. Probably has a natural affinity for business. Feels safe and secure in relationships.
Can use their gifts of finding harmony, peace, and balance in their emotional life. Could want to please people enough that they put others’ needs above their own. Might struggle with setting boundaries with others, but when they do, this will help them find the balance they seek. They are probably comforted by conversation and support or encouragement from others. Libra is also a cardinal sign, which means they possess leadership skills and are action-oriented. Moon in Libras will learn how to balance other’s needs and their own. In their natural state, they could be flirtatious, gracious, and charming.
Moon in the 7H
Might find they’re emotionally fulfilled and secure in relationships, marriage, or contractual relationships in business. These individuals place high significance on relationships with others. Could possibly even struggle with codependency, but not always. They might feel like they need to be around other people quite often and probably don’t like being alone. Could feel like they need balance when it comes to their feelings. Instinctually wants cooperation and might assume a mediator role in tense situations.
Moon in Scorpio
These people have an intense and tumultuous inner life. They could seek emotional intensity or powerful experiences. They are highly connected to their feelings and intuition. They probably read other people’s emotions astutely and like analyzing others. It would probably be hard to lie to someone with this placement because they can read people’s true intentions accurately. Their emotional life can go through many transformations or the way they process emotions does. They are probably very self-aware and in-tune with themselves. There could have been something severe, extreme, or intense about their childhood or mother figure.
These individuals are cautious when it comes to sharing their feelings with others and probably analyze ahead of sharing this information whether they think someone is trustworthy. They might like to keep their feelings to themselves, and whether or not they view this as being secretive, others probably see it that way. This is the type of person to have a very close group of people they share things in their life with. They deeply bond with people and place very great significance on these connections. When they open up, this is very meaningful and should be taken seriously. Probably likes to be alone since this is how they recharge. They can be misunderstood, complex, and alluring individuals.
Moon in the 8H
This is a very complex house full of depth. Individuals with their Moon in the 8H are probably very spiritually connected, emotional, and can attract many transformative experiences in their life. Mature, sensitive, and serious could be words used to describe them. They might be comforted by their interests in taboo things, through spirituality, or through sex. Interested in the occult. Protective over their emotions. Emotional intelligence. Others might tell them their secrets. Their intensity attracts attention.
These people are free-spirits at heart. Their independence and sense of adventure are a core part of their personality. They need freedom to express themselves. They probably feel safe and secure learning new things or expanding their interests. Their emotional life is likely very changeable (Sagittarius being a mutable sign) but their emotions are strong and short-lived (fire element). Can generally be very happy and easy-going, but can get easily restless if they aren’t doing something engaging or stimulating enough. They may want their home to be a bright and welcoming space.
Will probably go through life always learning and teaching themselves new things. They could enjoy teaching others, and this could give them a sense of fulfillment and gratitude. Might not know how to handle their emotions at times, and can be prone to escapism. This placement can be very optimistic and good at giving advice as others see them as wise and knowledgeable. While they might enjoy expressing themselves creatively, they probably do so sporadically. These people like to live in the moment and don’t take life too seriously. They love to make others laugh, and probably find deep enjoyment in carefree moments.
Moon in the 9H
They might search for emotional meaning through the world around them or feel deeply connected to a greater purpose. They could be very interested in learning about their emotions and who they are. Their emotional life can be very expansive and their beliefs philosophical. They might teach others great things when it comes to nurturing, loving, and caring for themselves and others. I wouldn’t be surprised if they study emotions or something relating to the mind like psychology.
Moon in Capricorn
Their emotions could be very stable and they might view them matter-of-factly. They could seem cold to others. Their career is a very important part of their life. They need to feel useful and productive. They are very down-to-earth and reliable. They might not seem like a very emotional person because they hide their emotions behind sarcasm and an impassive exterior. But like everyone, they go through mood changes. I can see this placement being very hard on themselves. They probably have high expectations for themselves and others. Might criticize themselves for not being busy enough, resting, or not having a goal they’re actively working toward.
They could dislike emotions because they can’t control them. Most likely they don’t care for frivolousness and can be very serious. They probably grew up quickly or were told they seemed very mature for their age as a child. They connect to others in practical ways. Can feel secure when taking action or working toward a specific goal. Their work ethic can be relentless and they possess a great amount of inner strength. This can be a placement that uses work to substitute dealing with emotions. These individuals could possibly believe in the value of tradition and most likely do not like change. Respect is very important to them. Could be cool under pressure.
Moon in the 10H
This could also be a workaholic position. These individuals find their inner fulfillment is tied to their career. Their career and working diligently gives them a sense of security and is emotionally rewarding to them. They could be a nurturing, gentle, and caring presence in their workplace or others see them this way. Could find their private life becomes very public. A mother or feminine figure might play an important role in their career.
Moon in Aquarius
I see this placement as being very in-tune with other people and observant since Aquarius is an air sign. They’re probably very interested in other people’s emotions and how people think. Their emotions can be unpredictable and complex, and possibly so can their upbringing. Can view their emotions objectively and/or analytically. Needs freedom and independence in life, so these are things that make them feel safe and secure. They like knowing they don’t have to rely on other people and can create their own path in life. Could feel like they don’t fit in, but might also take pride in their uniqueness. Could tend to idealize emotions.
With this being an air sign combined with a fixed nature, this person is very strong-willed and mentally competent. They likely try to rationalize their feelings instead of letting themselves feel them. Their private life can be unusual or unique in some way. They probably can be private and share personal information selectively but others see them as very sociable. They have a curious mind and heart. They feel a strong urge to help the collective and those in need. They could have a humanitarian cause they feel passionately about that aligns with their core values. These people are very loyal and trustworthy.
Moon in the 11H
This is someone who feels called to help those in need. They probably feel rewarded through serving others. Could be the emotional rock in their friend circle. They feel a strong need to belong and be a part of a group. They could take into account the needs and emotions of a group easily. Moon in the 11H might seek external validation often. They could feel safe and secure when they’re around others.
Moon in Pisces
This individual is probably very self-aware and emotionally intelligent. Sometimes their emotions might confuse or overwhelm them. They experience things very deeply and passionately. They’re probably very reactive to their emotions since this is a water sign. They could be empaths and feel others’ emotions ridiculously easily, soaking up the energy in the room like a sponge. It might be hard for them to create these boundaries between their emotions and other people’s, but it’ll be important for them to do so otherwise they’ll become too drained.
They like to keep their emotional life private and can seem very dreamy. These people are so creative and intuitive. Others might find it hard to understand Moon in Pisces feelings since Pisces is ruled by Neptune, which can create confusion and illusions. In my experience, it’s true they can seem a little “spaced out” but they’re just focused on their own vivid inner world, and that’s what makes them unique. These are very compassionate and loving individuals. Very genuine. With this being a water and mutable sign, their emotions may be subject to change very frequently. They likely need love, compassion, and depth to feel safe and secure.
Moon in the 12H
Their emotions will be hidden from the public eye. They could often find themselves often lost in thought or daydreaming. They could have psychic experiences through their dreams or meditation possibly. They feel comforted when they’re in their own world, being creative and utilizing their intuition. Their emotions can either be hidden from themselves or they instinctively know how to tune into their emotions and the emotions of others. Emotions can be turbulent.
I can’t keep doing this. I can’t… I can’t always do this! It’s not fair! Clara, it’s just not fair! Why can’t I just lose?
