MOONMOON BY SIGN
Natal Moon in Aries
(Jan Spiller and Karen McCoy)StaticWhen you habitually seek to be in control of situations relating to personal independence, you can becompetitive to the point of 'winning' by withdrawing from interaction with others. You may avoidasserting your needs and then working it out with the other person, due to not wanting to risk losing theAries independence. This nonassertion leads to repressing your independent impulses and creatingsituations where others dominate you. If you unconsciously need others' permission before leading andinitiating, you may experience insecurity and loss of personal power. This leads to a resentment ofothers because you feel they are responsible for your inability to act. You may react to their outburstsby withdrawing and feeling violated when they are insensitive to your repressed emotions. Thissituation adds to your own state of angry, unexpressed, and tightly controlled feelingsWhen you hide your emotional needs in order to maintain distance and control the circumstances, youlose touch with the power of your own independent, inner core. If you are unwilling to assert your needsand feelings and work it out with others, you may find you are not able to work it out at all. As a resultyou may withdraw from participation. Such an action leads to frustration and anger, at feeling unable toexpress and accept recognition for your natural executive abilities.DynamicWhen you take responsibility for creating the independence you need, you may notice that repressingyour feelings and letting others have their way does not lead to your feeling in control. The truth is thatothers cannot provide sensitivity to your emotional states. You are the one with the gift of sensitivity tounderlying foundational feelings. Your lesson is to acknowledge the need to feel close by initiating amutual awareness of basic human feelings and needs. You can accomplish this by moving yourattention away from yourself and toward perceiving the human insecurities and feelings of others.Avoiding judgemental thoughts about another's lack of sensitivity enables you to recognize the truenature of one's own feelings behind the outward expression. This knowledge leads the lunar Arian tobecome sensitive to others as individuals rather than taking their expression personally. Thus, thebasic insecurities of others can put you in touch with your own underlying feelings in an objective,balanced way. You then possess the clarity you need to work constructively in relationships.You can show your sensitivity and vulnerability to others' insecurities. When you reveal your feelingsand needs, your innate power is acknowledged, and you win the emotional support of others. You canthen express feelings successfully, since you are sharing yourself with diplomacy borne of awarenessof another's sensitivities. Consequently, you are able to feel close by having your true feelingsaccepted and shared. Then you can work out situations with others. When you support the authority ofother people to handle situations, you reinforce their self-confidence.Thus, your own independence and initiative are spontaneously recognized, respected and appreciated.General

Unconscious fears of battlegrounds, direct physical combat and competition for the attainment of yourpersonal needs have made issues of personal survival strong for you. You are always on the alert, butcamouflaged so that you can spot the enemy without showing your own strength. In order to maintainthis disguise, you must suppress your strength, which actually invites provocations and attacks fromthe outside. By suppressing your spirit, you invite others to walk all over you.Due to these unconscious fears and the tendency to view everything in terms of personal survival, youinterpret any opposition in life as a direct threat to your own goals. Thus, you may respond either withvehement resistance or by 'cutting off' the other person entirely and going your own, independent way.The lesson you are learning is to incorporate the resistance of others into your plan, to see it as ameans of actualizing your goals more efficiently. You are learning to be objective enough to welcomethe input of others. By taking into consideration their objections, needs, and feelings relative to yourown plans, you can expand your objectives to ensure genuine partnership and harmony in workingtogether toward a mutual goal.As you learn to stop projecting your identity (either positive or negative) onto other people, you canbehin to see them objectively and take them into account. Then you can 'be first' in a way that allowsother persons' needs to be met as well. Your own identity is strongly-developed, and you are notaccustomed to easy co-operation with others in the context of joint projects and team efforts. Ratherthan feeling that you need to compete with others to get your own way, you are learning to includeothers' desires and fears in working out solutions that are fair to both parties.You are naturally inclined to high-speed activity, without time for tact and diplomacy, leading to acertain naiveté and directness in fulfilling your personal needs. This makes your intentions clear for allto see; thus, those who feel threatened by your goals may try to block or manipulate you in some way.When this happens, you feel you have to fight to survive and get what you want, in direct opposition tothe other person. The only other alternative you see is allowing the other person to be the conquerorand to totally suppress your own needs. You don't realize that your impatience and carelessness arecreating the very opposition you fear.As you learn to be less naive and direct in your speech, and more diplomatic in communicating yourwants and needs, others will not feel threatened and so will have no need to oppose you. Through thisnew tactfulness, you will encourage others to feel that they are also winning by going along with yourplan. You are learning to enlist the support of others in going toward the goals that fulfill your ownpersonal needs.(Sydney Omarr)In Aries, the Moon stresses independence, drive - a need for self-assertion. The Moon in this, the firstzodiacal sign, tells us the native's personality is colored by a desire to get at the truth, which can beabstract. It can be a symbol, something to aim for rather than to attain. Maybe the truth is constantlyout of reach. The Moon in Aries is not discouraged, but continues the quest. In a way, this makes foridealism and high principles, but not necessarily for concrete results. The Moon here may cause othersto lose patience with the native - because he is forever concerned with what should be, instead of'making do' with what exists.The astrologer, of course, must combine the indications for the Moon in Aries with the House positionoccupied by the Moon. Such a combination means using the art of synthesis. And this, as we continueto repeat, is the backbone of the art of astrology.So the Moon here stresses a seeking of the truth as the native sees it. What kind of 'truth' does hesee? It could be that he sees the truth only as it is convenient for him to see it. This, of course, depends

upon other factors in the chart, including aspects and House positions. But, taken alone, the Moon heremakes for one who can fight for the truth as long as the 'truth' is of practical value - concerning hishome, his future, his security. 'Truth' here can be narrow and limited. The native inclines toward aheadstrong attitude, one which can bring about conflicts, resentment, envy and actual physical battles ifthe temper is not controlled.The native must learn to develop his abilities through study, experience, perhaps travel. Then he muststress an enlargement of his horizon, a wider point of view - and self-improvement. This is not acrusading kind of drive to improve others - it could merely be a negative expression of the Moon inAries. Let the native first improve himself and his own life; then, perhaps, he can inspire others togreater accomplishments. There is a tendency here to be selfish, headstrong, so sure of being rightthat the vision is narrowed down and only limited pictures are observed.These people have plenty of push, drive and energy. They can fight for what they believe to be right -and they refuse to be pushed around. They have great potential, especially in inventiveness andoriginality.(Tracy Marks)Those of us with Moon in Aries need to express ourselves honestly and openly, to assert ourindividuality, and to be enthusiastically involved in new projects and activities. Aries is not an easyposition for the Moon; we are likely to have counterdependent tendencies, often denying our needs forcloseness and intimacy and attempting to be emotionally self-sufficient. When deep feelings and needsemerge, we may unconsciously fend them off with anger, with impulsive action, and sometimes withsexual expression.Most likely, an Arian parent was quick to respond to our wants and desires, and allowed us thefreedom to pursue our own interests. Such a parent encouraged our independent nature, possiblybecause he or she was independent and / or selfabsorbed and did not wish to be burdened withresponsibility for our welfare. He or she may have imparted attitudes of 'be strong' and 'be tough', butsuch attitudes may have had less to do with an urge to further our development than they had to dowith defences against closeness and the expression of need and vulnerable feelings. Our parent mayhave encouraged our individuality while simultaneously failing to really affirm and support who wewere. Sometimes an Arian Moon indicates a submissive parent who catered to our whims andimpulses, but never really acknowledged or met our true needs, or helped us to develop the thefrustration tolerance we needed in order to mature and adapt effectively.One of our tasks may therefore be to learn how to differentiate impulse from deeper wants and needs,and to come to know what we really want beyond the thrill of momentary satisfactions. This may alsoinvolve learning how to value and fulfill our deeper needs, maintaining our basic independence whilealso allowing ourselves to experience and come to terms with our own dependence as human beings.HavingMoon in Aries also suggests that we need to become rooted in our physical and instinctive natures,experiencing profoundly 'I exist' and 'I am' in a manner which gives us reality and substance, so that weare not continually in search of excitement and stimulation in order to experience our vitality andaliveness.(Haydn Paul)The Moon is not especially comfortable placed in the active sign of Aries; and you will discover that atranquil life is not to your taste; nor can you settle into mundane complacency and routine behaviorpatterns. You prefer to follow spontaneous impulses to action, and hope they will lead to exciting
