Moon signs and dealing with emotions..
*Sorry this gif is huge and a lot to scroll past!
Aries: They deal with any feelings outwardly and don’t often hold back on any. Aries moon individuals don’t brood and deal with complex emotions rather, they freely express anything and everything whether good or bad.
Taurus: emotions for the Taurus moon are logical and very much intact with reality. Just like the sun, they’re very inclined to settle any emotional conflict and this determination is what awes people. However, as an earth sign, they do struggle with healthy expressions of more complex feelings like love, par exemple. They may also be prone to feelings of possessiveness, in some cases.
Gemini: often distant with expression and emotion and without this linkage, individuals with this placement have a hard time with emotional clarity. Also can’t deal with emotional people which makes them uneasy. This could lead them to generalize feelings and ultimately feel frustrated with themselves. Trust is hard for these individuals and in some cases that’s useful, no one can manipulate them emotionally.
Cancer: the emotional nurturer. They can sniff out your feelings from a mile away. It’s not an intrusive kind of intuition, in fact, they make some of the best counselors. Similar to Pisces moons, cancer moons openly showcase their emotions. However, they often readily compromise there needs for others which may have its downfalls. With this nurturing front, they may be taken for granted by most people they help. And, when these individuals themselves experience a similar plight, they have no one to turn to. Despite the known qualities of cancer moon, there exists a certain tendency to “dodge” confrontations and act more passive about their emotions instead of taking any action.
Leo: emotions are expressed rather flamboyantly with a tendency towards exaggeration. Leo moons also feel uncomfortable under negative emotions and messy displays of them. This sign prefers honesty and sugar coating is a big no-no. The feels always manage to get to them and sometimes they hate being overly emotional and just like to shrug it off sometimes. Not the types to brood, at all.
Virgo: the moon in this sign has a tendency to be deeply introspective and almost never “talks it out” with their emotions. Virgo moons are also known to think more rationally than emotionally. These folk are the type to say “It’s fine” when things are the opposite. And when something does bother them, they switch to being silent to sort out any inner conflict. Unfortunately, they rationalize other people’s emotions too (which may be a good or bad thing depending on the person.)
Libra: Like all air signs, Libra moons tend to not deal with intense emotions or any unnecessary displays of it. On the outside they seem in control of their inner emotions but deep down this is not the case. They may have indecipherable emotions that they put aside, and it’s never obvious. They filter any emotions ready to erupt and they’re good at letting on what the world needs to know and keep other feelings to themselves. But if disharmony arises, they’d do anything in their power to restore balance even if it means speaking the truth. Has a tendency towards sugar coating and white lies.
Scorpio: this moon individual has unfathomable emotions that brew deep down and that can be challenging to express. The scorpionic habit of perceiving the word in black and white applies here, where emotions are at one extreme or the other with no in between. Furthermore, Scorpio moons possess great intuition and clairvoyance that may baffle or even scare some people. However, these abilities must be used in good nature and not cloud the individuals thought process.
Sagittarius: emotions are very much spontaneous with this sign and they expect people to be as showy as them most times. They for one, don’t allow heavy emotions to anchor them down and may avoid them sometimes. Their environment influences their emotional states, for instance a strict routine life may affect them negatively with depressive moods. Sagittarius moons are quick to display and may sometimes be carefree about some feelings. Unlikely to have the same feelings after some time, as their emotional states fluctuate on a regular basis, but like every fire sign, they know exactly who or what they’re passionate or indifferent about.
Capricorn: from a young age, this may have been a child who had emotionally cold parents that lacked the nurture to build the child’s emotional bearing. Hence, Capricorn moon individuals often disregard any serious and debilitating emotions that may pose an obstacle to their goals in life.Although this is advantageous for the cap moon, some people may consider them cold-hearted.
Aquarius: Oh boy, this may be the most confusing of the bunch. Similar to a Gemini moon, they have a front that reveals nothing of their deep emotions. However, Aquarius moons are more distant with their emotions than a gemini, there exists a great displacement of their feelings that have no direct outlet but this allows their mentality and intellect to grow.
Pisces: one of the most emotionally receptive of signs with great emotional understanding, if the individual allows its growth. Individuals of this sign easily express feelings of hurt, love, hate even if its a more messy display of it. Although they do understand exactly what they're feeling, their emotional receptiveness of others burdens them majority of the time, especially if there are displays of negative emotions. This moon sign is skilled at reading people’s emotional states and quick to show anger or affection. If you live with one or are friends with one, it becomes quite apparent how affectionate they are to those close to them. Unfortunately, this moon sign may lack reasoning at times.
