Moon in Aquarius in the Seventh House

Aquarius is a most favorable sign for the Moon to be in, for here the Moon’s influence confers admirable qualities of sensitivity and perception. Aquarius is the astrological sign of rational thinking and humanitarianism; in this sign the Moon’s effect is to bestow clear logic with altruistic concerns. If you have your Moon in Aquarius you are rational, intuitive, and imaginative. Your senses are well balanced and accurate. Your immediate reaction to impressions you receive from the outside world is to deal with them in a scientific, open-minded way and at the same time try to understand them from the human point of view. There are no extremes of temperament in the Moon in Aquarius position. You are neither too emotional nor too cerebral; you are visionary but not eccentric.

A Moon in Aquarius individual has a wonderful gift for expression. You crackle with vitality, are a witty conversationalist, and make a delightful companion. Your friendliness charms all types of people – indeed, you’re people-oriented, sociable, and outgoing, interested in other people’s problems. However, with your Moon in Aquarius, unlike Moon water signs (Moon-Cancer, Moon-Scorpio, Moon-Pisces), you never become so emotionally involved that it changes your own life. There is a balance that runs through your relationships.

The passions of Moon in Aquarius individuals are passions of the mind. You are interested in ideas, philosophy, and higher learning. You enjoy science and mathematics, as well as art, music, literature. Again, I repeat, you are not an individual of extremes. With your Moon in Aquarius, you are well-rounded intellectually, for you have a wide range of interests in many different fields and associate with a large number of varied people.

Aquarius is the sign of future knowledge, and having your Moon in Aquarius, you are interested in the unknown and what lies ahead. Many Moon in Aquarius individuals seem to be clairvoyant, to see things before they happen. On the other hand, you are not especially practical or down to earth. It can be said that you have a wide outlook but short sight. You tend to see things in terms of large concepts, but when it comes to the hard work and sweaty toil of turning a concept into a reality, you are likely to drift off in search of a new idea. Moon in Aquarius individuals are often known as giants in promise and pygmies in performance. The unusual – in people, in places, and in projects – is what interests you most.

In love, a Moon in Aquarius has a butterfly quality – alighting for a while to sample an experience, flitting off to find something new. You are inclined to be somewhat ambivalent about love affairs. While you have a strong romantic streak, you also have a horror of being suffocated by another person’s demands. You cannot bear possessive, jealous lovers, and you’re often drawn to emotionally unavailable types. Having your Moon in Aquarius, unconsciously, you choose people who shun you; the less interested someone is in you, the more interested you become. In your early years you spend a lot of time trying to figure out what you want as opposed to what you think you want, swinging back and forth between romantic longing and feeling totally detached.

With your Moon in Aquarius, you seek a fine balance between commitment and independence, and many Moon in Aquarius individuals go through a number of unsatisfactory amours. When you do marry (often in later years), the relationship quickly becomes as much friend-and-companion as husband-and-wife. To you, the most important glue in a relationship is communication. In general, male Moon in Aquarius individuals have a somewhat easier time emotionally than female Moon-Aquarians, apparently because it is still more socially acceptable for males to be intellectual and emotionally detached.

The sign position of the Moon describes how we habitually respond to other people and to the circumstances of our lives, as well as how we experience our emotions and seek emotional fulfillment. Its house position corresponds to the area of life in which we operate most unconsciously, according to past patterns and instinctive responses.

Moon in the 7th House:

With your Moon in the 7th House, you can usually develop and express your emotional, subconscious in relative security, if you have a trusting relationship. You are likely to experience an emotional fullness in your relationships. This is generally positive unless you are emotionally needy or emotionally irrational.

Having your Moon in the 7th House, assuming you are engaged in a positive relationship, this is an excellent venue for working out your emotional and behavioral/conditioned problems and attitudes. The Moon in the 7th House also may signify that you bring an intuitive, nurturing, and responsive energy to you relationships. However, with your Moon in the 7th House, you face the danger that in being too attentive and bound to the needs of others, you may become too reliant on others. You may also be susceptible to being conditioned or emotionally influenced by those with whom you have close relationships.

With your Moon in the 7th House, when you learn that your partner’s emotional needs are as important and valid as your own, you then strive to fully develop your emotional side in order to both share this with your partner and to be more sensitive to and responsive to your partner. This, of course, flavors all of your interpersonal contacts. Consequently, the impression that you make on others is of someone who has a warm, caring and open personality. This is an impression which is conveyed by the genuine nurturing and caring attitude that you have for others. With your Moon in the 7th House, you have a “sixth sense” that responds to others’ needs and creates a subconscious or emotional bond in your interpersonal dealings.

Insecurities

Having your Moon in the 7th House, if you do not have a well defined sense of your own self, you will be unduly subject to the influences of others. The Moon symbolizes an open window into the world of the subconscious. When that window is placed in the 7th House, it allows all sorts of influences to enter your subconscious and to become implanted  there to condition your behavior. You may feel that your own emotions lack validity. This results in you being ruled by the emotions of others. You respond to others without discrimination and, thus, become vulnerable to their exploitation.

With your Moon in the 7th House, as an overcompensating defense mechanism, you may try to impose your emotions and behaviors on others. You may try to control others or impose tradition-based behaviors on others – the stereotypical over-mothering attitude. Others may also perceive you to be emotionally aggressive, as you let loose your irrational side in typical “gargoyle” fashion.

Focus of Emotional Development

As an individual with your Moon in the 7th House, you feel those emotions that are symbolized by the Moon mostly through your relationships. You may bounce your emotions off your partner and discover your own emotional world by seeing it reflected in others. Your relationships become the venue for developing your emotional life. You generally are quite sensitive to the emotional states of others and you easily respond to emotional stimuli.  This may result inan enhanced capacity for emotional bounding or you may psychically invite emotional dumping by others. With your Moon in the 7th House, there is a danger that your emotional life and development will be dominated by others.
