Moon + traits (by personal experience)
|Moon in Aries: Eruptive. They can be impatient and take things pretty personally, and are terrifying when angered. They can throw tantrums like no one else, and will explode if you have wronged them. They are very up-front though, and will never leave you unsure about how they’re feeling. They seem very confident even if they’re actually insecure, and they have a lot of love. Independent, instinctive, quick to react.
Moon in Taurus: Consistent. They have an intense need for security and hate unpredictable situations. They need a long time to decide on what to do, but once they have set their mind on something, they have a lot of will power and are steady. They can be very spoiled and materialistic, and overindulge in the things that comfort them. They protect their loved ones, are generous, and sentimental.
Moon in Gemini: Scattered. They often rationalise and intellectualise their feelings instead of actually tackling or simply feeling them. They always seem to have an explanation to why they feel a certain way, and they can seem kind of emotionless to others. Witty, charming, friendly, and they change their minds every two seconds. They don’t really know how to give emotional comfort to others, just like they don’t really know how to receive emotional comfort.
Moon in Cancer: Sensitive. They take some things very personal and get hurt, which can frustrate people around them a lot. They have powerful emotions and can sometimes act solely on these, ignoring logic and be irrational. They love taking care of others and have enormous nurturing capacities. They like to stay at home, in their comfort zones. Sometimes their emotional needs get too big to cover, and some Moon in Cancers can become very manipulative in order to get their needs fulfilled.
Moon in Leo: Controlling. They can be quite dramatic about their emotions, causing scenes and retreat to sulking. They require a lot of validation and recognition from others in order to feel good about themselves. They are creative, passionate, and very supportive. Kids at heart and enjoy having fun beyond anything else in life. They need to have their things organised and can be slightly demanding and self-centered.
Moon in Virgo: Picky. It can almost seem as if they like to complain and nag at others, but this comes from a place of an intense need to stick to plans and have security. They are kind, trustworthy, and reliable, but a little too dependent on routine and predictableness. Though analytical, they can be neurotic and easily become obsessed. They love to help and excell at making other people feel at ease, but may enjoy criticising a little too much.
Moon in Libra: Incomplete. They see something that can be fixed everywhere they go, and might believe or feel as though they are unfullfilled without a significant other. They have a strong need for justice, harmony, and peace, and have a gift for solving conflicts. They can be extreme people-pleasers and have a fear of being disliked, which often leads them to ignoring their own personal needs. Very sociable, intelligent, and charming.
Moon in Scorpio: Intense. Their emotions can be too much for them sometimes, often being overwhelmed by the powerful nature of their emotions. They can see right through people, facades, and lies. Though they require a lot of emotional bonding with others, they let very few people see their vulnerable and sensitive sides. They have a strong sense of privacy, loyalty, and trust. Embodiments of emotional rollercoasters.
Moon in Sagittarius: Flighty. They are optimists at heart, and have a very positive outlook on the world. They need a lot of emotional freedom. Usually they’re in a good mood, and though they can have a big temperament, they can’t stay mad for long. Their optimism can get to a point where they don’t even plan things out, since they think that everything will turn out just fine no matter what. Easygoing, upbeat, can be irresponsible.
Moon in Capricorn: Secluded. They seem stable and cool-headed, as if they have everything figured out (though this is rarely the case). Because of this, friends often come to them for advice or help. When it comes to them, however, they hate seeking for other people’s support and don’t like talking about personal issues, making them appear cold and unemotional. They have a hard time putting their emotions into words, as their emotions often are hidden very deep inside of them. They want to be useful to their friends and loved ones.
Moon in Aquarius: (Slightly) Egotistical. They are very observant and notice many details, and like to discuss and analyse their observations. They can be emotionally detached and feel very lonely, as if no one understands their emotions or what they’re going through. Sometimes they can lack compassion and seem cynical because of this. They enjoy playing the devil’s advocate, but often take part in charity work and are good at heart. They are trustworthy, loyal, and extremely independent.
Moon in Pisces: Emotional. Their feelings often stem from somewhere else than themselves, since they’re exceptionally sensitive to other people’s emotions. They have vivid imaginations and are often out of touch with reality. Their feelings are depedent on their environments and can change quickly, creating sensitive and sometimes moody beings. Intuitive, vulnerable, and prone to toxic tendencies, they are kindhearted but can be manipulative at times.
