Moon Influence in Zodiac Signs: A Guide to Emotions

Moon in Aries: urgency call
Moon in Aries is ruled by element fire (just as Leo and Sagittarius) and the planet Mars, an explosive combination. Even if the Sun or Rising Sign is of another element, it is probable that these people have a great inner passion.
People who have Moon in Aries always seem to be on the last day of their lives. They do not think twice, nor waste time in saying what they feel, whether good or bad. The clock does not stop and those people’s hearts either. The saying “do not put off for tomorrow what you can do today” never made so much sense.
They act impulsively and think later, having to deal with the problems they caused and the relationships they got into. They are the type of people who have a love at first sight a week and get involved with people who are not a good match for them.

Moon in Zodiac Signs – Taurus: Moon in Exaltation
Moon in Taurus is ruled by element earth (just as Virgo and Capricorn) and the planet Venus, a lovely combination. In astrology, we call the Moon in Taurus of the Moon in exaltation because it is a good positioning for this star. This Moon is the complete opposite of Moon in Aries, it is a moon of pause and that thinks first to then act.
People who have Moon in Taurus always express themselves in a determined, persevering and trustful way. It happens because they carry all the previous time in which they thought about a certain situation. So if they say they want something and go in that direction, you can relax that it is truthful.
They like to create stable relationships that provide security for all parties involved. They tend to be regular, steady, and embark on long-lasting love relationships. Moon in Taurus make excellent fathers and mothers.
As Taurus is a sign closely linked to the pleasures of life, this Moon is attracted by good relationships that bring some emotional gain as well as material. But not in the ambitious way as Capricorn, who has a strong relationship with money. Moon in Taurus does this almost unconsciously because they know that money, if properly applied, can also bring emotional well-being. And from there they transform into abundance for all those around.
-
Moon in Gemini: spirit awake
Moon in Gemini is ruled by element air (just as Libra and Aquarius) and the planet Mercury, a volatile combination. Even if you have the Sun or Rising Sign in another element, it is probable that you are somewhat unstable.
People who have Moon in Gemini express themselves curiously. They are extremely communicative and quick in their thoughts. Speed is a good word to define Moon in Gemini.
Unlike Moon in Aries, which is also a moon of great dynamism, Gemini offers another type of inconstancy. Intellectual intelligence is strong enough to perceive all the nuances of their emotions, but it fails to apply knowledge in the way they express themselves.
These people are those who do not stop thinking a second and change their minds every millisecond. They seem nervous, on the rush and usually suffer from anxiety. It may be humanly impossible to overflow the amount of thoughts and feelings that Moon in Gemini may have. Therefore, physical exercises and meditation are great allies in this case.
-
Moon in Zodiac Signs: Cancer and the voice of the heart
Moon in Cancer is ruled by element water (just as Scorpio and Pisces) and the very Moon. That is why we say Moon in Cancer means Moon in Domicile. This makes an extreme emotional person, since Cancer is governed by emotions in all the aspects, especially in their relations.
As you might guess, people who have Moon in Cancer are the most sensitive. They express their feelings in a very delicately way and are attached to people. The family and history of their past are very important and what guides their journey.
So much sensitivity makes these people a real sponge, absorbing all that is good and bad in the environments and in the very people with whom it coexists. Therefore, it is important to protect and clean the negative energies that are circulating.
Cancer is a very intuitive sign, so be aware if you went in somewhere and felt bad. Or if you started talking to someone and something bad happened to you, it’s prudent to trust your intuition and move away.
-
Moon in Leo: the need for approval
Moon in Leo is ruled by element fire (just as Aries and Sagittarius) and the Sun. The combination of these stars (the highest male energy with the highest female energy) makes the person with Moon in Leo very intense and impulsive, but different from Moon in Aries.
While Moon in Aries acts on the impulse and leave the place, Moon in Leo has a need for approval. They feel they have to say what they think and want people to accept their opinions, one way or another.
People who have Moon in Leo may feel motivated by their own ego to act that way. But, the truth is they can hide a huge insecurity behind this supposed arrogance. What they really want is to be cherished and sure that they are loved and desired.
Yes, as we have said before, Leo is a sign with a great and warm heart and that takes very good care of who is related. However, the need to be accepted makes them demand the same kind of affection in return. And they also care too much about what others think.
-
Moon in Virgo: reason over emotion
Moon in Virgo is ruled by element earth (just as Taurus and Capricorn) and the planet Mercury. This combination causes greater emotional stability because reason comes to join the emotion equation and probably even overlaps with it.
When someone who has Moon in Virgo feels, they will treat the feeling as a doctor treats a body. “Why am I feeling this?”, “How do I heal?” are questions these people often ask themselves.
Such analysis thus leads to paralysis. Yes, because Virgos can think too much, getting lost in their thoughts and there is no reaction at all. This apathy makes these people pass the image of coldness and that they do not know how to position.
It is certain that too much emotion is not beneficial, but sometimes it is necessary to feel first to act. Because it is as if the emotion was that initial fire that takes us toward what we want to have in our lives.

Moon in Zodiac Signs: Libra, peace, please!
Moon in Libra is ruled by element air (just as Gemini and Aquarius) and the planet Venus. Unlike Moon in Gemini, this is a calmer, quieter Moon, despite the intense emotions.
What happens to Moon in Libra is that they can get the impression that everything is okay with them, in a serene way. There is no chaos, no stress because these people are organic, fluid, and go with the tide.
It is a kind and peaceful Moon. Most of the time, those will be the conciliators in the face of a fight. You know that person who comes by pulling away, separating the sides and saying to drop it? Moon in Libra! Maybe they do this because they are sensitive and bother with shouting and loud people.
They can take that role too because they do not stand for anything or anybody. They prefer not to meddle and express opinions in the confusions of others. But as much as the bonus is their sanity, sometimes one must take something or someone’s side and these people will be known as those who sit on the fence.
-
Moon in Scorpio: deeply emotional
Moon in Scorpio is ruled by element water (just as Cancer and Pisces) and the planet Pluto. Maybe this combination makes this Moon the most intense in the Zodiacs because the Moon itself is already of great energy and Scorpio is the most visceral of the signs.
When someone who has Moon in Scorpio feels, it is like a volcano. They do not explode easily like Moon in Aries, but their emotions are connected with the center of their being and they go through several layers until they are exposed to the world.
Dealing with emotions will be hard work for those who have this Moon. First, because you have to understand them and then try to control them in a way that does not hurt others and yourself.
Yes, because as facts and relationships shake their deeper structures, they can react at the same intensity and become very spiteful and even vengeful.
-
Moon in Zodiac Signs – Sagittarius: wide open aura
Moon in Sagittarius is ruled by element fire (just as Aries and Leo) and the planet Jupiter. As Sagittarius is a mutable sign, the energy of the fire is very quick, making those people not get attached easily. They love freedom and dislike any type of control, including emotional.
When someone who has Moon in Sagittarius feels, it is like a combustion. But they are not like Moon in Aries, which explodes and get irritated often. They usually have an open, comprehensive and very positive aura.
Positivity may have to do with the fact that these people are very intrigued by esotericism and religion. They like to research and learn more about what we can not see, and to put all their faith in the process. Faith makes these people optimistic and can see the silver lining after the cloud.
-
Moon in Capricorn: like a shell
Moon in Capricorn is ruled by element earth (just as Taurus and Virgo) and the planet Saturn. This is a moon completely opposite to its predecessor Moon in Sagittarius. What they have of expansiveness and emotional discontent, Moon in Capricorn has a reserve and rigidity to relate to others.
The less emotion they get into the lives of these people, the less they will have to sue. This is the commandment for whoever has this moon. We can say that it is a difficult positioning, since they do not do this out of laziness, but because they do not know how to deal very well with their own emotions and that of others.
The news and changes are not welcome and any crack in the routine is as if it was a micro drop on the lake, but capable to shake a whole structure. Do you know those people who take time to plan something, and when their plans go a millimeter towards a different direction, they get madly uncomfortable? Maybe the Moon is in Capricorn.
In astrology, we say that it is always good to have a little of the earth energy to balance the intense emotions of water, for example. This happens with the Moon in Taurus and Moon in Virgo, but in case of Capricorn, the earth is too dense, impenetrable. Being more tactful is the challenge for this Moon, to make the relationships more flexible and to be lighter to live life.
-
Moon in Aquarius: in their head
Moon in Aquarius is ruled by element air (just as Gemini and Libra) and the planet Uranus. The element air always brings a high intelligence to the people and with the Moon in this position, it is no different. Moon in Aquarius tends to put the intellect first.
It makes these people very rational, trying to find a solution to everything they feel. If there is any emotional discomfort, they will quickly delve into their thoughts and take actions that they find compatible for the resolution of their problems.
As much as this is a positive factor, after all it is a Moon of action, people with Moon in Aquarius can become paranoid in trying to frame everything they feel so categorically. Remember that emotions are felt by the heart, separated from the mind for some reason.
-
Moon in Zodiac Signs: Pisces, a mystic creature
Moon in Pisces is ruled by element water (just as Cancer and Scorpio) and the planet Neptune. This is an extreme powerful combination since the Moon has a big energy by itself. Neptune is the king from the depths of the ocean and this is how these people are: deeply emotional.
The taste for the occult of life is inherent and irresistible to them. They have a very special way of dealing with feelings and putting them in the world. Mystics in every act, they look like witches who get in the air what no one else notices.
Unusual sensibility makes Moon in Pisces a sponge. They absorb everything around them and have to be careful about the energy of the people and places they go to.
They are both sensitive and intuitive, often with “voices” in their head. Not that they are crazy or something like this, but there is greater contact with the Divine that sends them signals and these are readily received. Like a direct line of dreams, sensations and premonitions.
