Considered the ‘infant of the Zodiac’, those with Moon in Aries have a bubbly innocence to them and a refreshing, inspiring energy. They are very active and love starting new things. Waiting is not an option for them. They need to be first! It’s hard for them to see the long-term or wait around for things to happen. Instant gratification rules! They aren’t planners, or dwellers. Whims of the moment take precedence of their life. They have little patience, especially when it comes to getting what they want. This is a fiery position of the moon. Even if the Sun or Rising is more low-key, those with Moon in Aries possess inner passion and fire.
They put themselves out in the world and make an impression no matter what they do. Societal niceties are not their cup of tea. They don’t like fake things that mask the truth. They would rather call things what they are. They are very independent. They enjoy a space to be themselves and feel trapped when other people limit them. They likely give and expect stimulation, vibrancy and freedom from the people in their life.
Like the Tarot card, The Fool, those with Moon in Aries tend to never look before the leap. They possess the courage to face the unknown, and rarely question the road ahead. This can be a great asset, but it can also be their downfall. They may underestimate the actions of those with a more complex emotional response. They are often taken aback by those with underhanded or calculated methods. They are used to their own usual honest and straight-forward style. They also tend to react quickly to anything, and speak from a place of emotional response without thinking. They may unintentionally hurt with their own ill-considered words. They are brash, upfront and unafraid of saying how they feel. Yet, they can easily be hurt if other people do the same. They are likely to be strongly affected by criticism and can be stopped in their tracks by harsh words.
They have a strong personality, but they go through plenty of ups and downs. Their moodiness is obvious. They are extremely receptive to things around them, so that may affect their behavior and especially reactions. Being connected with the god of war, they may react aggressively and be quick-tempered. They are easily bored with too peaceful of environments, after all. Their homes, especially in childhood, are often battlegrounds. They rule the roost, or at least try to, and aren’t the most peaceful to live with.
This is a very defensive position for the Moon. They take things very personally, and deal with problems by facing them right away so they can get on with other things. Their flare-ups usually end as quickly as they start. Some might say that these placements enjoy confrontation and trouble. They’re uncomfortable with sentimental displays, however, and whatever else they regard as weak expressions of emotion. They have a warrior-like quality that means they prefer to deal with things directly. Emotional issues come before anything else and there is no beating around the bush when it comes to dealing with their feelings. They are self-sufficient on an emotional level. They have the capacity to endure hardships and negotiate when it suits their purpose and they expect others to do the same.
Dealing with new sentiments means they need to be active. They have a need for acting out their feelings, with no time to waste! They love the thrill of a new experience and feel most alive when they’re starting something new. They will find ways to express themselves that allow them to do their own thing. They might have a knack for recognizing the seed in an idea or the potential in an opportunity. The energy needed to get something off the ground fires their passions and gives them a focus. They must find a way to do their own thing. They resist others' attempts to define them.
They are suited for any sort of self-employment for contracted opportunity. They have entrepreneurial qualities. They may get frustrated if they don't get to test out their ideas. When they start something, it’s with enthusiasm, but they might have trouble seeing it through, especially if they lose interest.
With their short-lived, yet intense desires, Aries Moon are prone to having plenty of crushes. Needs and wants aren’t distinguishable. In their mind, their want is so powerful that it becomes a need. They rarely skulk or play drawn-out manipulation games. You pretty much know what they want at any given time.
At their worst, this placement is extremely impatient and intolerant with others. They can be overconfident. They think every situation is about them. It’s best when they learn not to turn every little thing into war. At their best, they are inspiring leaders and innovators. They must balance their temper, so they become a breath of fresh air rather than a bratty toddler. Aries Moons are not here to apologize for being who they are, for being strong and for reaching for what they want. They know their own mental strength and must learn to be more gentle, considerate and diplomatic toward others.
The world is theirs for the taking. These people need to learn that the world isn’t put into the palm of their hands. No, Aries Moon has to charge its way through and claim what is rightfully theirs with no regrets. It’s about discovering natural leadership and bravery, then bringing it out to its fullest potential. They must trust their instincts and charge forward, ignoring the fears that come with being the aggressor. The key to their emotional wellbeing is taking challenges and risks.
