Moon in Aries

The Moon in Astrology is an important aspect in the Natal Chart. It expresses the emotional makeup of the individual and the sign it is in and the aspects to it signify how well the emotions are controlled and how well they are expressed. There are signs that are stronger or more powerful for the Moon’s placement and the sign position will signify the emotional interaction between people. We will be discussing the Moon placement in Aries, but we will not be going into the different expressions that the emotional makeup can take through aspects to other planets.

With the Moon in Aries or the Moon in the first house (the first house is ruled by Aries) there is a degree of impatience with many issues in life, especially those that pertain directly to the Moon in Aries individual. They generally know what they want, how to get it and very little can stop them in achieving their objectives. Their own emotional needs come first and this can make them somewhat selfish with their intentions. There is an inherent need for acting out and speaking in a straight forward manner. These individuals express their needs precisely -- just what it is that they need. This is very apparent and they will be persistent and stick to their own personal goals through thick or thin. In the end, they usually get what they want.

This is not a soft placement for the Moon and when faced with adversity, they will act out aggressively and fight for what they believe is their right. They take things personally and if you intentionally hurt them emotionally, initially they might reach out in an aggressive form. Once the smoke settles, however, they forget fairly easily and are ready to begin a new, with vigor and enthusiasm. They generally believe in themselves and have inner fortitude but little staying power.

Moon in Aries people are usually self-confident and somewhat abrasive and their temperament varies, with plenty of ups and downs. They are ruled by their own emotional needs, not others. Weaker personalities will be swallowed up alive by Moon in Aries personalities. If you were threatened, these individuals will be the first to come to your rescue and defend you in almost any situation. They could be considered fearless, and do not back down from confrontation.

Discord is well known by these individuals and many grew up in a family circle where they had to fight for their rights and to be noticed. The home front was somewhat of a battle field and this accounts for their nature. They know what they want and how to get it, and will push their way through in order to come out on top.
