emotional aspects: much like the other air signs libra moons want to intellectualize and rationalize all their emotions rather than feel them; however they do not do this as well as the other air moons and tend to frequently get overwhelmed by emotions, tend to be empaths who absorb other’s moods and emotions which can easily bring them down, very easily moved and emotional especially by beautiful and sentimental things, frequent frustration over their own sensitivity and emotional nature
recommended emotional outlets: anything emotional yet beautiful such as poetry, something aesthetic based like painting or drawing, retail therapy is a good outlet for libra moons ; especially if it involves changing their hair/fashion/etc (aesthetic based changes tend to uplift this beauty-appreciating sign)

emotional aspects: being a water moon their emotions are constantly something they’re drowning in, tendency to feel everything including other’s emotions which leads to them being the target of psychic vampires (very common with water moons), they’re extremely emotional but similar to earth moons they actually struggle to express it despite being a water sign - scorpio moons are critical of their own emotions and are worried revealing their problems will make them weak (so they tend to bottle), tend to be prone to depressive episodes / upset spells
recommended emotional outlets: POETRY (im begging all of you scorpio moons to just write poetry you would be so good at it you just don’t realize it), getting involved in music (be it just listening or actually writing/making music), just writing in general- get your emotions out for once and stop bottling/feeling guilty for speaking your emotional mind

♐ SAGITTARIUS MOON
element: fire (intense, open, friendly, powerful)
modality: mutable (constantly changing, chameleon-like, open-minded)
key words: philosophy, open-mindedness, change, travel, freedom, communication

emotional aspects: as a fire moon; emotions are always amplified and nothing is felt at a basic level - they’re either very happy or very sad or very angry, emotions are intense and tend to change frequently, sag moons have probably some of the worst mood swings of all the moon placements due to the mixture of both fire and mutable nature, emotions easily affected by their environment and the moods of those around them, they prefer to come off/be very easygoing and nonchalant but they tend to get overwhelmed by feelings easily which in turn frustrates them (they also tend to ghost, isolate, escape to somewhere new, etc when overwhelmed - escapism is a big coping method for sag moons)
recommended emotional outlets: t r a v e l (even just getting out of the house to go on a walk in nature is a good outlet for a sag moon), exercise & exploration are good outlets for fire moons, studying something new (especially languages, philosophy, etc), writing but on a bigger platform where you can reach others

emotional aspects: a tendency to repress emotions and shame themselves for feeling things, tends to try to always be the “strong one” and criticizes themselves for having emotions and being upset by things, emotions are a backburner thought to capricorn moons - they hate that they feel things and view themselves as very weak when they get upset/depressed/hurt/etc, they constantly want to find logic and reason behind their emotions and struggle to accept that sometimes you just feel things without much reason, very hard on themselves and want to always be strong for others, deep down they want to be very bubbly and optimistic but they feel like they aren’t allowed to be that way/weren’t meant to be
recommended emotional outlets: stop working for once and take a break focusing on your hobbies/creative interests, do something that connects you with nature (going for a walk/hike, etc) as it’s a natural comfort for earth moons, just watch an entire tv show or something okay relax for once pls
strengths: the hardest workers; the most driven people you will ever meet, usually the parent friend who always cares for and helps others when they need it; humanitarian without needing to be, always hypes up and supports their friends dreams/goals, natural born leader and initiator, very good at starting up and creating things, a very warm person who makes people around them feel very comfortable and safe when developed, usually very stable balanced people
♒ AQUARIUS MOON
element: air (open, social, friendly, intelligent, logical)
modality: fixed (stubborn, persistent, passionate)
key words: intellect, humanitarianism, logic, music, art, isolation, repression, overthinking/overanalyzing
struggles: accepting and feeling their own emotions, expressing emotions (in words - they’re good at expressing emotions through their works such as art pieces), wording things properly (they tend to struggle with communicating things “correctly” aka they tend to misspeak and say things how they didn’t intend them to come off as), dealing with change, god complexes, tendency to overthink and overanalyze everything (even things that don’t need to be analyzed), can have issues with truly connecting to people (they don’t trust easily/they doubt everyone and the things people say ; it’s just generally very hard for them to form deeper emotional connections)
emotional aspects: all emotions are critically analyzed and thought through a billion times, if they cannot make rational sense of an emotion it is usually repressed; shamed and/or ignored, tends to beat themselves up for feeling things and not always being “strong”, they don’t understand their own emotions and really struggle to accept them as is, usually bottle things up and don’t (seriously, they might post depressing memes tho) express how they feel until they hit a point where they just have a giant breakdown, tend to be very prone to depressive episodes, extremely hard on themselves emotionally, tendency to isolate when emotional
recommended emotional outlets: making music/listening to music, creating art of literally any form, focusing on something to distract yourself from your frequent overthinking (movies/shows are especially great)
strengths: tend to be naturally inclined artistically and musically, creativity for days, able to view situations and frustrations with rational logic rather than just viewing everything through an emotionally biased lens, gives the best advice, very strong drive and determination (especially in work/hobbies), naturally very humanitarian and quick to help others/be there for people even though they don’t always have the emotional capacity for such, way with words and very good at making friends/being social/the life of the party (even though they tend to actually be very introverted/prefer isolation)
♓ PISCES MOON
element: water (emotional, intuitive, sensitive, warm)
modality: mutable (constantly changing, chameleon-like, open-minded)
key words: emotions, intuition, change, warmth, omniscience
struggles: tend to always be only “half there” when around people (always daydreaming/stuck in their mind), tendency to be very flaky and cancel plans/ghost people/etc often, can romanticize things too much (again that constant daydreaming) and too frequently give benefit of the doubt, issues with committing to things (especially the area of life relating to the house their moon is located in), probably the most frequent victims of psychic vampires (people that use you/drain you emotionally), gives too many second chances because they have a very softhearted and forgiving personality, when undeveloped - huge victim complexes
emotional aspects: someone who absorbs the emotions of everyone and everything (if a room has a certain “feel”, they will start pulling in that emotion - they literally feel *everything*), constantly overwhelmed with emotion, feelings can be very fleeting for them but heavy nonetheless, require a lot of alone time to process emotions and recover from the weight of holding everyone else’s emotions for them, because they absorb AND reflect other’s emotions so frequently they often have trouble figuring out what they’re actually feeling and going through
recommended emotional outlets: something relating to the arts or music (listening to music, making music ; making art; drawing/painting/etc), written outlet (reading/writing ; especially poetry or fiction novels)
strengths: amazing levels of sensitivity that allows them to pick up on/feel other’s emotions and thoughts before that person even knows how they’re feeling themselves, great intuition with a good ability to sense out bad people from far away, constantly nurturing others and making them feel warm/safe, pisces moons have a very “omniscient” energy in the sense they come off as if they know everything (which in turn makes them very likable, admirable, etc), very adaptable people, high levels of creativity
