The Moon; Showing Love/Needing Love

The Moon; Showing Love/Needing Love

 The Moon is a vital component to our personalities. It can show us how we go about showing love for others (and ourselves) and in what aspects we need love. Within the birth chart, positive interchanges between the Moon and personal planets can demonstrate a healthy and developed Moon sign; this is especially true with positive interchanges to Venus. These individuals hold special value in showing love and comfort for others and themselves. We can see a similar outcome in synastry charts when one individual’s Moon has positive interchanges with the other person’s Sun, Moon, or Venus. A positive interchange between one person’s Sun and another person’s Moon demonstrates the most natural compatibility two people could have. These relationships often have the most ease because one individual’s core or character (Sun) aids and uplifts the other’s needs (Moon). Similarly, compatibility between two Moons represents ease in a relationship as two people share like-minded needs; Positive Moon and Venus interchanges in synastry demonstrate ease in understanding and fulfilling another person’s needs.

Aries Moon

How they show love: An Aries’ innate curiosity is their not-so-subtle way of demonstrating love. Aries will go out of their way to spend time with the people they love and actively display interest in them. They can be very passionate and excitable around those they love, like every friend or loved one is another log in their firepit. Aries can also frustratingly push for activity with their loved ones, such as new experiences. They are very impatient and forceful towards the people they care about, but it is simply because they’d love to see them on the same level of hype as they are. Aries’ also demonstrate their love by confidence boosting or role modeling their energy.

What they need: Aries really need patience from others to feel loved and understood; they know they can be frustrating, but they will appreciate those who bare with them. They also really need someone to match their energy or someone to validate their energy; someone to riot with, or someone who is willing to understand their riot. Calming an Aries storm is a plus in their world too.

Taurus Moon

How they show love: A Taurus’ love language tend to fall in line with physical touch and specific acts of service. While physical touch is more obvious (hugs, kisses, cuddles, etc.), acts of service tends to play out in a very background kind of way. Taurus Moon individual’s can quietly carry an entire family’s burden on their backs and be a sanctuary of security and comfort. All who they love the dearest is their babies in their mind. They go out of their way to nurture the emotional well-being of others. In their network of love, they work the hardest and serve their own plate last.

What they need: Physical touch and outlets to relax. The fixed signs, such as Taurus, are guilty of holding onto emotional tension which then turns into physical tension. They need to be shown that they too can be cradled into someone’s arms and melt away. Taurus love massages, dedicated time to rest, and having some of the workload taken off of them. Good food doesn’t hurt also!

Gemini Moon

How they show love: Geminis are the spending quality time type. They can ease away tensions and anxieties with their ability to distract. Gemini Moons have an abundant presence, so while they can lead conversations, they can also direct comfortable silences too. They are great at reading the room and they are perceptive of the technicalities of others needs. With their cooled approach, they will rationalize and come up with creative ways to aid these needs. Their mental toolbox is chalked-full of ideas; “maybe you need to look at it from this perspective,” “I have just the movie for this,” “let’s go for a walk and talk it out!”

What they need: Their chilled exterior can often hide lots of inner anxieties. They really need someone to listen to their tangents. They also really need someone to tell them not to over rationalize their feelings, “you’re just feeling like this, there doesn’t need to be a because, and that’s okay.” They need people to spend their abundant, emotional energies with; vent about it, joke about it, etc.

Cancer Moon

How they show love: Cancers are very protective of their emotional world, so opening that world up to someone is their way of demonstrating love. Emotional vulnerability portrays their deepest act of sincerity. A Cancer’s innate mothering qualities is another way they demonstrate love. They want to create security for their loved ones as well as encourage personal growth. They reassure loved ones directly that their love is unconditional and uncircumstantial. Cancers are very sentimental about physical togetherness, so quality face-to-face time is an important aspect to how they show love.

What they need: Cancers need that natural nurturing quality returned. As much as they want to create security and comfort for their loved ones, they too need others to shield for them. Cancers need to be shown that they are safe; one can do this by dedicating time spent with a Cancer, perhaps inviting them over to your home or spending time at home in a familiar environment. 

Leo Moon

How they show love: Leos are known for praise and thoughtfulness. Leos like showing love through acknowledging others accomplishments that have been forgotten or overlooked. Leos are great at figuring out what is important to others and demonstrating praise, approval, and confidence building language. Leos can also be very thoughtful; they aren’t the “gift-giving” type, though when they find things that remind them of their dearest companions and loved ones, they will go out of their way to give gifts with special meaning. Similar to how a cat chooses whose lap to curl up in, Leos also show love by making one feel “chosen.”

What they need: Leos need verbal and physical praise. Leos find themselves in situations of self-doubt when without reminders of affirmation. Compliments, advice, pats on the back, and encouragement are a few ways to demonstrate affirmation. When in doubt though, a long hug goes a long way with Leos. 

Virgo Moon

How they show love: Virgos choose their words carefully and eloquently and this is how we can acknowledge their way of showing love. Though they are not one of the outright expressive Moon signs such as Cancer, they’ll know exactly what to say or write to make someone feel loved. Though cliché for a Virgo, acts of service is also their way of demonstrating care. They don’t mind doing the small things just to make someone’s life a little easier. Virgos also love leaving things better than when they first found them; physical improvements equate to mental improvements. Virgos also have a tendency of checking in with their loved ones; “have you eaten the right food today?,” “a shower might make you feel better,” “did you get enough fresh air today?,” etc.

What they need: Virgos need acknowledgement that they are doing enough. There is a major tendency towards inadequacy and guilt when they feel like they aren’t doing the right things or enough things. Virgos need reminders of what they’ve accomplished and improvements they’ve made thus far. Remedy their nerves with tea and quality time; nothing can make a Virgo feel more loved than showing them life can be simple.

Libra Moon

How they show love: Libras really set aside their own emotional needs for others; they would much rather please others than have to deal with their emotional world. They graciously give and bend their energy to their loved ones to promote harmony and contentment in their lives; “how can I make them feel comfortable?,” “how can I make them feel wanted?,” how can I make them feel luxurious?” They can be zealous in their efforts to beautify the world around their loved ones. Libras are absolutely the gift-giving type and they don’t need an occasion for it either. They enjoy surprising their loved ones and spoiling them when they can. 

What they need: Libras need to see gratitude for their efforts. Libra Moons live in an emotional world best described as “I don’t know,” so words of affirmation from their loved ones is very important. They also genuinely like hearing what you want from them as they are eager to please. Give Libras decisiveness and they will feel loved. 

Scorpio Moon

How they show love: A Scorpio demonstrates love with extreme obviousness and intensity. Their love is the smothering kind. Since Scorpios like control over their emotional world, the love they give, and the love they recieve, they use many modes of love languages. Physical and emotional intensity are the most obvious. They have an aggressive neediness for their loved ones; if they need you, they won’t beat around the bush about it, they will go and get you. Scorpios demonstrate the peak of their love when they reveal secrets and create or bond over a secret with another. 

What they need: Scorpios really need vulnerability from others. A lot of that “control-freak” persona Scorpio holds is from fear. By actively creating an environment of trust for them, they will feel loved and like they have a special bond. Scorpios really need emotional intimacy. Scorpios can also feel loved by others who give them a sense of purpose. 

Sagittarius Moon

How they show love: Sagittarius’ best demonstrate love through offering experiences. New experiences, trips, and special outings are a few ways Sagis’ try to ignite the light in another’s eyes. They acknowledge the special bonds formed through experiences or shared learnings. Sagittarius’ will go out of there way to place that booking, whether it be a concert, a campsite, hotel, or a niche workshop. Don’t feel like leaving the house? Sagis’ can get pretty creative around the house too; crafting, new recipes to try, documentaries to stream, new hobbies to take up. Honestly, don’t even be surprised if your Sagittarius brings home a tattoo gun one day. Sagittarius’ love through excitement.

What they need: Sagittarius’ really need mutual excitement and enthusiasm. They find comfort in those who truly listen to their philosophies and laugh at their jokes. Sagittarius’ really need to feel like they are a part of something, so family-like networks are also very important to their well-being despite being considered one of the more “flighty” or independent signs. An ear from many can make a Sagi’ feel truly loved.

Capricorn Moon

How they show love: Capricorns are not always direct in expressing love, but you can really tell one loves you when you are including in their life plans and goals. Capricorns have an innate need to control, so they often express love through being a providing or protective figure in their loved one’s lives. They provide a backbone or structure to their loved ones that would be extremely noticeable if they weren’t around. Capricorns also tend to provide guidance and mentorship to demonstrate care. Capricorns can be quite stingy as well, so if one spends their money on you, it says a lot!

What they need: They need people who can show them the more direct and vulnerable forms of love. They really need intense physical and emotional care; those who can introduce them to these realms of love. Saturn energy can make a person very structured and rigid so they need a good dose of warmth in their life to feel loved.

Aquarius Moon

How they show love: Without trines or sextiles, Aquarius’ showing love can be very subtle, hence why this placement is infamously known for being “unemotional.” However, Aquarius’ are fantastic lovers; they often demonstrate love through validation. Aquarius’ have a keen idea of what it’s like to be misunderstood so they’re the ones who are best at making others feel like they’re not a black sheep. They have a “being weird is okay” mentality when the focus isn’t on themselves, so if an Aquarius validates your off-beatness, it most definitely means they love you.

What they need: Aquarius’ really need validation in return for the validation they’re known for giving. Relatability is one way of demonstrating validity. Similar to Taurus and the other Fixed signs, their emotional tension leads to physical crystallization. Creating outlets to release their emotional tension as well as physical touch to aid the built-up tension are two of Aquarius’ biggest needs.

Pisces Moon

How they show love: Pisces have a large capacity to love and they demonstrate this through empathy and their fully immersed listening. They want to help their loved ones through giving advice, relating, or just lending their ear. Pisces are sensitive and openly vulnerable about how they are feelings and this is in hopes that others will relate and connect to them through this. Pisces are always the ones to step into the uncharted territories of the emotional world, leading others behind them; comforting, helping, teaching. 

What they need: Pisces really need guidance and clarity. They feel loved when someone is guiding them and giving them definitive truth to how they are feeling. Pisces can often get mixed up about their own feelings, so the ones who really look out for them, Pisces will remember and cherish. Those who show a willingness to connect also make Pisces feel loved; Pisces would absolutely be enthralled by a nap buddy or meditation partner.

astro observations #3 🌠

• saturn conjunct jupiter can bring a serious disposition to an individual, even if they have a bunch of light hearted natal positions.

• venus in aries women can sometimes gain inspiration from men in regards to fashion. like they’ll look at an outfit a guy is wearing and they’ll try to think of how they can spin it to fit themselves.

• sun conjunct uranus / multiple uranus contacts to planets can manifest as a very sensitive nervous system. so it can possibly lead to a sensitivity with caffeine, maybe even abruptly later on in life.

• venus and mars equally dominant in a persons chart can signify gender fluidity and/or bisexuality.

• venus in the ninth people can have a crush on their teachers. however, sometimes this can indicate that professors in college can have a soft spot for them (sometimes in a weird way and sometimes not).

• chiron in the sixth house can overwork themselves to exhaustion because sometimes their wound is that they don’t work hard enough. i have this and i’ve literally fainted in school before because i wasn’t sleeping so i could get work done.

• gemini children are mischievous as hell. sometimes they grow out of it, sometimes they don’t.

• moon in leos are usually the favorite in the family. for example, they’ll probably be the cousin that everyone waits for at the family party.

• people with scorpio moons either have a wonderful, deep connection with their mother or they have a very complicated one where power struggles are dominant in the connection.

• i’ve always related to the sign of scorpio so when i found out my sun is in the eighth house, it didn’t surprise me. sometimes we relate more the sign of the house in which our planets fall into. (for example, moon in aries in the third house, check moon in gemini.)

• aquarius risings come off as very strange when you meet them. maybe they dress different or having striking eyes. there is always something odd at first glance.

• sag risings are THICCC. more the girls than the guys. the guys tend to be tall and skinny.

• venus conjunct midheavan from the ninth house can indicate that women you meet in college(or traveling) can play an important role in your career.

• moon in geminis are very witty and quick thinkers. they also have a very dry sense of humor sometimes. they have a playful way of connecting with people. for example, i met a scorpio sun guy with a moon in gemini. i was very intimidated at first but later on when i knew him better, i was surprised to see how lighthearted and childlike he was.

• pisces sun/moon tend to zone out and daydream a lot.

• moon/venus in sagittarius /ninth house probably have made a list of all the places they would like to travel one day.

Astrology observations 🌃🌠

🌠 A strong emphasis on 1st house or a lot of Aries placement could experience a lot of headaches, migraine, hair loss or hair problems, eye and sight problems.

🌠 2nd house could point to problems in health of the throat, gums, teeth, tonsils and neck.

🌠 Mars in the 2nd house individuals have really rich, deep voice.

🌠 Mercury in Taurus males can be very soft spoken. They have very soft, mellow and pleasant voice.

🌠 The things you think about the most are shown by the house your Mercury is in. And HOW you think about the house matter is shown by the sign it’s in. For example: you have Mercury in the 5th house, you think a lot about your hobbies, interests, ways of entertaining yourself and if Mercury is in the sign of Taurus, you think about this topics in a practical manner or sometimes overindulgent.

🌠 When we talk about an arhetype of one sign we always have to look at the opposite sign as well. Because they share similarities. For example: there is usually loyality talk around Taurus and Scorpio. Scorpio can often be accused of cheating, yet Taurus doesn’t? But Taurus share this with Scorpio actually. It’s a different side of the same coin. The only difference is they view it differently. For Taurus loyality equals staying, but not necessarily not cheating. So that’s why Taurus might cheat, but still want you to stay or stay with you themselves.

🌠 Libra and Taurus are both ruled by Venus. But it’s two very different energies. Libra, as an Air sign, can verbalize their emotions and TELL you what they feel. But Taurus is an Earth sign, they can only SHOW you have they feel.

🌠 Expanding the previous point. How will a Taurus SHOW you how they feel? You might be thinking by offering you gifts or buying things for you, right? Think twice. They will relate to you, make you feel appreciated, because Venus is a planet of appreciation. So you might look at your Taurus like they really appreciate you, your being and appreciate spending time with you. But how does your Taurus percieve you? In a possessive manner. Like you’re theirs, you belong to them, like they “own” you. Because in their head the things and people they appreciate are THE SAME. They equal this. They might look at you the same way as they do their PS4 or favourite sweater. Appreciation of people and things is the same in their mind!

🌠 As “bad” as this may sound, Taurus will always appreciate people, places and things that can benefit them or if they are “getting” something out of it too. Their appreciation needs to be reciprocated in a way they actually GAIN something from you in exchange. Again, I repeat, Venus is a planet of appreciation and how you relate to others.

Aries want to navigate the world surrounding them on their own terms. Aries hate the idea of people guiding them and have to learn life’s lessons in their own time and on their own way.

Taurus is the master of the material realm. They try to figure ways to mold and manipulate the material into something more pleasing and artistically satisfying to their senses.

Gemini can have a hard time rationalizing their feelings until they have written them down. Many turn to creative writing in order to control their emotional impulses that can become destructive when built up.

Cancer has to spend a great deal of time in solitude in order to feel comfortable in the world. When they feel like they are spending all of their time with other people Cancer will feel incomplete.

Leo like to get involved in all sorts of creative activities. Many will become interested in activities such as dancing, acting, or drawing, and become obsessed with them.

Virgo are the germaphobes of the zodiac. They have to keep their surrounding environment clean and freak out when they enter places that are gross.

Libra possess a quick wit when it comes to humor. This comes from them being an air sign. Libra likes to laugh and wants to make their friends laugh as well.

Scorpio appear mysterious to those who do not know them. This is what draws people to them, as others are interested in trying to figure out what is happening below the surface.

Sagittarius have a hard time dealing with people who are over emotional. This sign prefers to take life lightly and does not understand why others get caught up in painful situations they do not need to put themselves in.

Capricorn have a hard time relating to people emotionally. They show their love through acts of kindness rather than discussing theirs or others emotions.

Aquarius are gifted with an out of the box thinking process. They generate original ideas others are not able to come up with and often solve problems others cannot figure out.

Pisces are often over-flooded with a vast well of emotions. They deal with with such a wide range of conflicting feeling it is hard for Pisces to pinpoint exactly how they feel or explain their emotions to others.
