MOON
MOON BY SIGN
Natal Moon in Aries
(Jan Spiller and Karen McCoy)
Static
When you habitually seek to be in control of situations relating to personal
independence, you can be competitive to the point of 'winning' by withdrawing from
interaction with others. You may avoid asserting your needs and then working it out
with the other person, due to not wanting to risk losing the Aries independence. This
nonassertion leads to repressing your independent impulses and creating situations
where others dominate you. If you unconsciously need others' permission before
leading and initiating, you may experience insecurity and loss of personal power. This
leads to a resentment of others because you feel they are responsible for your
inability to act. You may react to their outbursts by withdrawing and feeling violated
when they are insensitive to your repressed emotions. This situation adds to your own
state of angry, unexpressed, and tightly controlled feelings
When you hide your emotional needs in order to maintain distance and control the
circumstances, you lose touch with the power of your own independent, inner core. If
you are unwilling to assert your needs and feelings and work it out with others, you
may find you are not able to work it out at all. As a result you may withdraw from
participation. Such an action leads to frustration and anger, at feeling unable to
express and accept recognition for your natural executive abilities.
Dynamic
When you take responsibility for creating the independence you need, you may notice
that repressing your feelings and letting others have their way does not lead to your
feeling in control. The truth is that others cannot provide sensitivity to your
emotional states. You are the one with the gift of sensitivity to underlying
foundational feelings. Your lesson is to acknowledge the need to feel close by
initiating a mutual awareness of basic human feelings and needs. You can accomplish
this by moving your attention away from yourself and toward perceiving the human
insecurities and feelings of others.
Avoiding judgemental thoughts about another's lack of sensitivity enables you to
recognize the true nature of one's own feelings behind the outward expression. This
knowledge leads the lunar Arian to become sensitive to others as individuals rather
than taking their expression personally. Thus, the basic insecurities of others can put
you in touch with your own underlying feelings in an objective, balanced way. You
then possess the clarity you need to work constructively in relationships.
You can show your sensitivity and vulnerability to others' insecurities. When you
reveal your feelings and needs, your innate power is acknowledged, and you win the
emotional support of others. You can then express feelings successfully, since you are
sharing yourself with diplomacy borne of awareness of another's sensitivities.
Consequently, you are able to feel close by having your true feelings accepted and
shared. Then you can work out situations with others. When you support the
authority of other people to handle situations, you reinforce their self-confidence.
Thus, your own independence and initiative are spontaneously recognized, respected
and appreciated.
General
Unconscious fears of battlegrounds, direct physical combat and competition for the
attainment of your personal needs have made issues of personal survival strong for
you. You are always on the alert, but camouflaged so that you can spot the enemy
without showing your own strength. In order to maintain this disguise, you must
suppress your strength, which actually invites provocations and attacks from the
outside. By suppressing your spirit, you invite others to walk all over you.
Due to these unconscious fears and the tendency to view everything in terms of
personal survival, you interpret any opposition in life as a direct threat to your own
goals. Thus, you may respond either with vehement resistance or by 'cutting off' the
other person entirely and going your own, independent way.
The lesson you are learning is to incorporate the resistance of others into your plan,
to see it as a means of actualizing your goals more efficiently. You are learning to be
objective enough to welcome the input of others. By taking into consideration their
objections, needs, and feelings relative to your own plans, you can expand your
objectives to ensure genuine partnership and harmony in working together toward a
mutual goal.
As you learn to stop projecting your identity (either positive or negative) onto other
people, you can behin to see them objectively and take them into account. Then you
can 'be first' in a way that allows other persons' needs to be met as well. Your own
identity is strongly-developed, and you are not accustomed to easy co-operation with
others in the context of joint projects and team efforts. Rather than feeling that you
need to compete with others to get your own way, you are learning to include others'
desires and fears in working out solutions that are fair to both parties.
You are naturally inclined to high-speed activity, without time for tact and diplomacy,
leading to a certain naiveté and directness in fulfilling your personal needs. This
makes your intentions clear for all to see; thus, those who feel threatened by your
goals may try to block or manipulate you in some way. When this happens, you feel
you have to fight to survive and get what you want, in direct opposition to the other
person. The only other alternative you see is allowing the other person to be the
conqueror and to totally suppress your own needs. You don't realize that your
impatience and carelessness are creating the very opposition you fear.
As you learn to be less naive and direct in your speech, and more diplomatic in
communicating your wants and needs, others will not feel threatened and so will have
no need to oppose you. Through this new tactfulness, you will encourage others to
feel that they are also winning by going along with your plan. You are learning to
enlist the support of others in going toward the goals that fulfill your own personal
needs.

In Aries, the Moon stresses independence, drive - a need for self-assertion. The Moon
in this, the first zodiacal sign, tells us the native's personality is colored by a desire to
get at the truth, which can be abstract. It can be a symbol, something to aim for
rather than to attain. Maybe the truth is constantly out of reach. The Moon in Aries is
not discouraged, but continues the quest. In a way, this makes for idealism and high
principles, but not necessarily for concrete results. The Moon here may cause others
to lose patience with the native - because he is forever concerned with what should
be, instead of 'making do' with what exists.
The astrologer, of course, must combine the indications for the Moon in Aries with
the House position occupied by the Moon. Such a combination means using the art of
synthesis. And this, as we continue to repeat, is the backbone of the art of astrology.
So the Moon here stresses a seeking of the truth as the native sees it. What kind of
'truth' does he see? It could be that he sees the truth only as it is convenient for him
to see it. This, of course, depends upon other factors in the chart, including aspects
and House positions. But, taken alone, the Moon here makes for one who can fight
for the truth as long as the 'truth' is of practical value - concerning his home, his
future, his security. 'Truth' here can be narrow and limited. The native inclines
toward a headstrong attitude, one which can bring about conflicts, resentment, envy
and actual physical battles if the temper is not controlled.
The native must learn to develop his abilities through study, experience, perhaps
travel. Then he must stress an enlargement of his horizon, a wider point of view - and
self-improvement. This is not a crusading kind of drive to improve others - it could
merely be a negative expression of the Moon in Aries. Let the native first improve
himself and his own life; then, perhaps, he can inspire others to greater
accomplishments. There is a tendency here to be selfish, headstrong, so sure of being
right that the vision is narrowed down and only limited pictures are observed.
These people have plenty of push, drive and energy. They can fight for what they
believe to be right - and they refuse to be pushed around. They have great potential,
especially in inventiveness and originality.
(Tracy Marks)
Those of us with Moon in Aries need to express ourselves honestly and openly, to
assert our individuality, and to be enthusiastically involved in new projects and
activities. Aries is not an easy position for the Moon; we are likely to have counter-
dependent tendencies, often denying our needs for closeness and intimacy and
attempting to be emotionally self-sufficient. When deep feelings and needs emerge,
we may unconsciously fend them off with anger, with impulsive action, and
sometimes with sexual expression.
Most likely, an Arian parent was quick to respond to our wants and desires, and
allowed us the freedom to pursue our own interests. Such a parent encouraged our
independent nature, possibly because he or she was independent and / or self-
absorbed and did not wish to be burdened with responsibility for our welfare. He or
she may have imparted attitudes of 'be strong' and 'be tough', but such attitudes may
have had less to do with an urge to further our development than they had to do with
defences against closeness and the expression of need and vulnerable feelings. Our
parent may have encouraged our individuality while simultaneously failing to really
affirm and support who we were. Sometimes an Arian Moon indicates a submissive
parent who catered to our whims and impulses, but never really acknowledged or
met our true needs, or helped us to develop the the frustration tolerance we needed
in order to mature and adapt effectively.
One of our tasks may therefore be to learn how to differentiate impulse from deeper
wants and needs, and to come to know what we really want beyond the thrill of
momentary satisfactions. This may also involve learning how to value and fulfill our
deeper needs, maintaining our basic independence while also allowing ourselves to
experience and come to terms with our own dependence as human beings. Having
Moon in Aries also suggests that we need to become rooted in our physical and
instinctive natures, experiencing profoundly 'I exist' and 'I am' in a manner which
gives us reality and substance, so that we are not continually in search of excitement
and stimulation in order to experience our vitality and aliveness.
(Haydn Paul)
The Moon is not especially comfortable placed in the active sign of Aries; and you will
discover that a tranquil life is not to your taste; nor can you settle into mundane
complacency and routine behavior patterns. You prefer to follow spontaneous
impulses to action, and hope they will lead to exciting experiences and make you feel
more alive. You will be ambitious, seeking challenges where you can assert your
uniqueness before other people; your aim is to become number one, standing out
from the crowd.
You have an independent spirit; and, while you may disguise feelings of personal
insecurity, you are determined to follow your chosen path of action, irrespective of
whether your decisions are proven to be correct or incorrect. You may react against
well-intentioned advice from others, trusting your own light and often deliberately
acting in a contrary manner as a form of self-assertion. Eventually, close friends and
family will realize that this is your way, and will just let you get on doing whatever
you intend to do anyway, right or wrong!
There are contradictory personality tendencies; and most of these relate to a
probably denial of the Moon nature, favoring the Aries qualities. One example of this
is changeability of moods, emotions, and feelings, resulting in a lack of consistency
on that level, which can erupt as emotional volatility and impulsive ill-considered
actions. As inner pressures accumulate, you tend timply to act as a way out of a
'decision logjam', hoping that action will resolve matters. It is unusual for you to
display regular forethought and planning, so the consequences of these actions often
surprise you. This can be due to the Aries-influenced self-centered naivety or
innocence, although it still doesn't enable you to evade any negative repercussions or
wrong moves in the game plan of life.
You can be overly sensitive to others' reactions, yet this does not dissuade you from
your way; it only irritates and slows the forward movement for a few moments of self-
doubt, which are then ignored because entertaining such thoughts may open an area
of your nature (the Moon realm) which you prefer to forget. If really pushed, you try
to dominate through assertion and fixed attitudes; and there may be occasional
outbursts of temper if someone is effectively presenting a viable argument against
your decisions.
Adjustments may be required to meet inner needs. Feelings and emotions have to be
accepted; evasion only forces them into the unconscious mind to agitate and fester.
As an integral part of your assertive needs, you have to learn that these feelings also
require expression, release, and acceptance; and any attempt at emotional self-
sufficiency will only impoverish your wellspring of emotional vitality and feeling
responses. Due to this uneasiness with your deeper lunar needs, you may display
resistance to relationship intimacy - not necessarily toward physical or mental
intimacy, but toward the powerful emotional exchange that can occur through the
affinity of mutual love.
Yet it is dealing with your complex emotional nature which will open the door to
greater fulfillment and satisfaction once you become less insistent and defensive
about your needs for independence and freedom. Self-expression is very important,
but feelings and emotional needs must be respected, and steps taken to satisfy them
instead of choosing to respond first to those impulses for action and novelty. Deeper
integration into your individual foundations and physical reality is needed; once the
connection is established to the Moon roots and a flow of fulfilling experiences
develops through relationships and self-nurturing, the need for compulsive activity
will diminish and be replaced by a feeling of wholeness and balance.
(Skye Alexander)
Regardless of your age, you're still a child at heart - playful, fun-loving, enthusiastic
and rather naive. Each day is new to you, and full of adventures. You have an
irrepressible joie de vivre; and people like you in spite of themselves, and might
describe you as a bit of a scoundrel.
However, you also can behave like a spoiled brat at times. Argumentative and
assertive, you are known for your emotional outbursts and your quick temper. Your
anger is usually short-lived, though; and once you've aired it you're ready to get on
with the business at hand. You could engage in a no-holds-barred fist fight then go
out for a drink with your opponent when it's all over.
Fiercely competitive, you like nothing better than a good challenge with a worthy
opponent. Most probably, you have natural athletic ability and are happiest when on
the playing field. You probably possess boundless energy and vitality, enjoy a game of
backyard softball with your 'jock' friends and wouldn't miss the Superbowl to have
dinner with the President.
However, you tend to see everyone as a potential opponent, and every interpersonal
interaction as a contest. Your relationships sometimes resemble boxing matches -
figuratively or literally. Intensely individualistic, you find it almost impossible to see
another's point of view. Nor are you willing to compromise on most issues; and
diplomacy is a foreign word to you. Brusque, abrasive and often tactless, you rarely
hold your tongue and can hurt other people's feelings without realizing it. If you're
involved with someone who also relishes an occasional shouting match (an Arien or
Aquarian, for example), you'll probably be best buddies, though you'll never convince
your neighbors of it. You aren't likely to stay with a partner who won't stand up to
you, however. Strongly sexual but not sensual, you approach love and relationships
with gusto, but fall short when it comes to romance and affection.
You live in the here-and-now; you never look back and rarely more than a few weeks
ahead. As a result, you don't learn from your mistakes. You also have a great deal of
trouble making plans or laying the groundwork for future projects. In truth, you don't
want things to be too carefully worked out in advance; it's the unexpected that makes
life exciting.
You never learned to play by the rules, and might be considered something of a
renegade. Your successes in life come from taking chances, or as Tom Wolfe put it in
his book The Right Stuff, 'pushing the outside of the envelop'. You are both
courageous and reckless. As a result, you tend to be accident-prone, for you never
look before you leap.
There may have been lots of turmoil, competition or aggressiveness, even violence, in
your family when you were young; and heated arguments were frequent. Or, perhaps
you were raised in an athletic or military family. Because Aries represents one of the
archetypal male energies, your parents probably encouraged traditional male values
and behavior rather than female ones. Your mother may have been the dominant
parent and somewhat masculine; at least she was strong, independent, feisty and
assertive.
