  • sun is in taurus, with taurus rising

    it is square with my aquarius moon
    and i agree very much with magenta (?) about trying to please two very opposite sides of my personality all the time
    it used to be more frustrating, but now i appreciate having two such different sides, grounded and airy
    practical and mystical
    etc etc
    it keeps things exciting, its nice to continually feel that I am always learning more and more about myself

    Mine is Taurus sun, scorpio rising. I feel like 3 diff people!!! Very intuitive, but i feel like an outsider looking in. Someone mentioned they love it and hate it. i feel the same. I feel like i have "information" about others that some people are just not aware of because they're too wrapped up in themselves. but although I like being able to pick up on what people are feeling...it works in my advantage sometimes...it also gives me anxiety at times which i hate. i guess i have to learn to love it cus this is my astro makeup!!!
    • Tam

      you have the same placements as me

      I am also Scorp Rising, Tau Sun and Aqua Moon

      its hard reconciling all part of the self as they all seem so different, I relate to what you wrote about perceptions and picking up on things.

        Magneta, do you mind if i ask how old you are? I am 24 and I do feel myself getting stronger everyday...i just want to know if I will eventually overcome anxiety I experience as I get older...
        • I find this is so typical of Aqua Moons, including myself - the "bonus" of anxiety that comes with finding a balance between appearing socially "eccentric", (or intriguing, lol) and embracing that trait entirely and proudly; while also making sure that you're we're not socially outcast; a really unpleasant position for anyone to be in...

          But, because of Aqua Moon's constant need to express share their uniqueness with people who appreciate it, it is paramount that an Aqua Moon feels secure that he/she will not become socially isolated, which would restrict the opportunities to attract new people, exchange new ideas and learn about life buy observing the many different characters we enjoy having in our company.

          Without those experiences in an Aqua Moon's life, they may find themselves in a rut of self isolation, which may lead to an over-stimulated, sleep deprived, sometimes self-centred outlook (while avoiding Arrogance at any cost). Without the welcome distraction of other people around, will find their other-worldly senses become increasingly powerful - we maybe even a bit too sensitive to the energies of life, which is amplified rapidly when we experience a rut of inward reflection and introspective. We become increasingly aware of things such as the energy of numbers (numerology), the evolution of social consciousness, the energy around us and of course which of course influences erveyone as much as we influence it - the Universe - a lot more than most realise.

          And of course, having the Moon in Aquarius, we can become pwerfully aware of the effect of the 28 day lunar cycle - the peak (and occasionally valley) of the full moon - the refreshment that comes a new moon, and of course the rise and fall in between.

          Far too much bombardment of so much we're aware or but not entirely sure of from the energy of the Universe all around us, can become a little too "loud", and for me, with an Aries ascendant and the Aqua Moon in my tenth house, it can actually become obsessive - a benign obsession, but an obsession nonetheless. It of course may lead to health problems and I think this is true for a lot of Aqua Moons, certainly myself, especially with Neptune (commonly signifying drugs) being within orb of a conjunction to my Aqua Moon for about 15 months now I think...

          Back to the point - :) In my opinion, the reason that the person with an Aqua Moon will experience anxiety is because that is an emotion usually bundled with the need to keep the balance. Making sure they maintain their unique, and somewhat rarely fascinating traits, while keeping that characteristic in a consistent equilibrium by being involved with other people - sharing ideas, opinions, emotions. It's difficult to do this if one comes across as "crazy" or "too weird" - sure, perhaps these are labels created by people with not-so-open minds, but, for me at least and for most Aqua Moons, I suspect, we want to meet people from all walks of life - we are discerning, definitely, but we don't care to pass judgement harshly.

          Anyway as usually I've over typed. :) Now I don't even have time to proof read, lol.

          I'm new to tribe.net but would love talking to some people one on one who .. well really anyone, this seems like a forum with great group of people on board. :)

          Cheers

          • I so agree with virtually everything you said! Welcome to tribe, btw ~ I hope you get as much out of it as I have been. For me, being a 12th House Leo conjunct Pluto, and with some other "interesting" placements, in spite of the anxiety factor, I find my Aquarius moon to be a real saving grace. I have said that without it, I am sure I would be a wreck, and I mean that.
            • Same, yet it can create so much intensity for me, I think I'd be lost without the Aries Ascendant I have, but I'd still choose the Aqua Moon any day. It's a mixed blessing but it's a worthwhile one.

              Neptune transiting over my Aqua Moon has made everything especially intense - transit Neptune is currently at 21 degrees Aqua, my Aqua Moon at 23 Aqua in the 10th. Jupiter also about to enter my 10th in the coming month or two, then of course, not tooo long after, will transit my Aqua Moon, very soon. No wonder I'm feeling as wound up as an alarm clock lately :)

              What house is your Aqua Moon placed; has Neptune transited over it already or it coming up, ie, what position in Aquarius is your Natal moon at? :)

              Cheers

  • Leo sun in the 12th house, Aquarian moon conjunct Chiron in the 5th. Pluto and Jupiter also in the Leo 12th house. I find it so funny about the long-term vanishing acts -- that is definitely what I do. I really like to mouse nest. It is so easy to feel overwhelmed. Fortunately, I have a tolerant set of associates, and I tend to look for the sorts of people who are either similarly inclined or who are too busy with other things to feel neglected. If I had a squishier moon, I am sure I would be a wreck.
    • "If I had a squishier moon, I am sure I would be a wreck. "

      I'm sure that many of us with prominent 12th house and/or pisces (or other water sign) placements find a similar sense of relief in our aquarius moons.
      • Yes. Especially since I have Mars in Pisces, Venus in Cancer, and Saturn in Scorpio. That requires all kinds of balancing acts for my Jupiter, Mercury, and ASC, which are all in Virgo. Let's say Aquarius is truly a breath of fresh air.
  • Capricorn sun here! sometimes it feels like the perfect balance between craziness and practicality, but other times it seems like two sides that can never be happy at the same time. Following a schedule is impossible for me, but then I beat myself up for failing at following a plan. I always forget little details like getting the laundry out of the dryer, but then get mad at myself for wasted time. I definitely give a first impression of being more conventional than most aqua moons.....people are often surprised by my quirkiness and liberal mindedness.

    As far as the plus side? Aqua moon definitely makes serious Capricorn sun lighten up, but there's still a shell to break out of.
  • Hi Gabby,

    I've a Libran Sun in the sixth, which gives me a routine diplomatic fairness and adds a practical tone to my sky's the limit ambitions, obviously I've an Aquarian Moon in the tenth which reflects my desire to live a public life as a creator - ie writer, actor, singer; it also gives me the Aqua-Moon eccentricity and spirtuality ...

    It is my Aries ascendant though, which I believe provides me the ambition, the determination, the vanity (a necessity in "the business" to be camera ready) and the essential fire of confidence; it is the Aries in me that seems to tie it all together in a practical, business-is-business sense. Plus it protects me a lot, because my arty - spirtiual - love-not-war dynamic can lead me to be taken advantage of - if it weren't for the fire of Aries, who knows when to lay down the law, in no uncertain terms. My Aries ascendant also bolsters the power of my sensitive Aqua Moon and provides my femme-influenced Libra Sun with a balance of masculinity. Without Aries there, demanding the respect he deserves, I very much believe I'd have become consumed with self doubt, unmanageable nervous tension and life threatening embarrassment of my eccentricities and my talents.

    And let's not forget that a Libran Sun can display a fierce temper if he feels an injustice has been committed. For me, in those circumstances, my Aqua-moon kicks in and instead of projecting aggression, my Aqua-Moon (especially under Neptune's influence) is more inclined to manifest those feelings as anxiety, nervous tension, and can lead to overindulgence with drugs and alcohol.

    Of course, Aries as an Ascendant doesn't like to share that with most, as he fears it will be perceived as weakness. Only when my Aqua Moon is emancipated, set free by sharing itself via a public life (as every 10th house Aqua Moon has the desire and potential to be, especially if close to the 11th house cusp) will my Aries ascendant relax and rejoice, for he'll no longer have nothing to hide.

    :)

    Didn't mean to write so much, hope it helps.
