Moon Aspects

The moon represents our emotional nature, our security and deepest needs. It containts our basic habits and unconscious reactions related to our past karma and upbringing. It is associated with the mother and with feminine energy in general, it is both our inner child and mother. It is responsive, receptive, reflective and instinctual. In our personal chart it shows how we respond to our environment emotionally.

As your feelings and desires cover such a wide range of possible expression, you often have trouble dealing with the swings between them. You find it hard to be emotionally consistent with your loved ones, and that leaves them having to adapt to your moods. This can create a lot of resentment, which is often expressed later in disagreements about totally unrelated topics, making your loved ones seem like those who are being emotionally inconsistent.

Often being touchy about others’ comments, you tend to take offense easily. You don’t like being wrong, and you assume you’re being attacked when someone disagrees with you, or even sometimes when they just make an innocuous comment. Your inner tension pushes you to react quickly, and often do so quite negatively to something that wasn’t mean in a negative way at all. By getting to know that inner tension, you can observe your feelings before reacting.

This would also help protect you against being emotionally manipulated, as you are susceptible to crafty schemers and dishonest lovers. If you come to better understand who you are inside, no one on the outside can convince you to do something that goes against that knowledge.

It’ll take much experimentation with relationships in order to have emotions that serve your higher needs rather than ones that run amuck on their own mission of blind, disconnected expression. Artistic and socially idealistic goals would help to get you out of your head and focus more on what’s going on outside you. Overall, they would help create more satisfaction and emotional balance in your life.
