Natal Moon in Aries
This is a Natal Moon sign that packs a punch – fiery, warm and emotionally honest, you are always completely open about how you feel. Being a fire sign as well as the very first sign in the zodiac ensures that passionate feelings can be ignited at a moment’s notice!
The Moon in many ways, is our Heart, and a Moon in Aries individual wears their heart on their sleeve with complete openness. There is a sweet, almost childlike naiveite in the way you express your passionate and powerful feelings. It’s important for you to feel “seen” by the ones you love and who love you – ignoring your emotions is tantamount to starting a war, and the chances are that you will react with anger at being dismissed – which is simply a way to cover up the deep hurt at not being noticed.
It is a great strength of yours to be able to put your needs first, and to be extremely clear about what those needs are. In fact, your needs can be so powerful and immediate that your greatest lesson is to learn to acknowledge that others have needs to – and that they may clash with your own. As hard as this may be, it will be essential for you find a healthy middle ground in which yours and others’ need are being met with equal attention, lest you find yourself being accused of self-absorption.
Of course, being a fire sign makes you emotionally warm and passionate – you feel everything quickly and can be reactive to every stimulus around you. This makes you rather sensitive, even though you may come across rather brash and even aggressive at times. However, you are quickly hurt and may not always understand the manipulations and emotional game playing of others. Despite being selfish at times, you don’t carry a malicious bone in your body and are quick to forgive and let go.
You’ll find enormous nourishment in being active and adventurous, and you feel fulfilled when you’re able to take chance, leap into a risk or start something new. The world is your oyster and you love having a spontaneous adventure! Taking a road trip out of the blue is your idea of a great time, and even better if you can incorporate your love of extreme sports into the picture. When inactive or unable to “do”, you may become despondent, or even depressed, and so it is essential that you are able to keep moving, keep fit and keep healthy. A well-looked after Aries Moon has a regular gym contract, and is always ready to be the initiator in all things!
This initiating energy also applies to your closest love relationships. When it comes to matters of the heart, you tend to pursue the one who has captured your interest – you tend to fall fast and hold the object of your adoration in high esteem – at least in the beginning! You are idealistic and vulnerable, and it’s easy for you to open your heart quickly – this is often how you get hurt, although you bounce back fast, only to fall in love yet again. It’s important for you to try not to rush others into the same heart-baring openness, for as unprotected and innocent as you are, others may take more time to develop trust. You’re fiercely protective of the ones you love, and will defend them to your last breath, whether it’s a friend, lover or cherished family member.
Because the Moon rules the Mother, you may have a fiery relationship with your own Mother figure, and your relationship may one that can be volatile at times. Conflict is common with this moon sign, yet as with everything, you forgive and forget fast! Once again, you may at times forget that others have feelings and needs in the heat of the moment, and say or do things that ruffle the feathers of a more sensitive Moon sign. It can seem a mystery to you as to why someone would be upset at what you simply consider to just be the truth, however this will have you being called “insensitive” – even though you had no such intention and can feel deep remorse at hurting another. And so, developing a filter of some kind can be extremely important when it comes to all of your relationships, family or otherwise!
In essence, you are a generous, loving and direct Moon type, and although you may need to work on your tendency to react, manage your temper and hone your ability to cater to other’s needs, you have a heart of pure gold which is always willing to take a risk to love. This is a rare and wonderful quality, and the ability to pick yourself up when you fall, and to keep trusting no matter what challenges life throws at you is an inspiring trait. You do love a challenge, and life is never boring for an Aries Moon – although you take wounds in the journey of life, you always manage to dust yourself off and try again! This can be endearing to all those around who love you – and there will be many! This quality is also the one that makes you succeed at almost anything you put your mind to. You are a fighter, and this can be a great asset to carry throughout your life, whether in your career or any endeavour you decide to take on. Bravery is something you will never lack, for although you may feel afraid, you always manage to face your fears and overcome them!
Your greatest lessons as an Aries Moon, are to slow down, to check your reactions and to develop as much sensitivity towards your loved one’s feelings as you feel yourself. When you do this, you are capable of loving and being loved as deeply as you need to be, ensuring stable and warm bonds with all around you.
