Moon in Aquarius in the Eleventh 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 11th House:

The Moon in the 11th House placement affords you a social avenue through which you can constructively channel your emotional needs and drives. It also suggests that you are likely to be a warm, caring person (conditioned, of course by your Moon sign), at home in a group situation and committed to social justice. Having your Moon in the 11th House, you may find yourself in the role of “group mother” (or “father”), providing the care-giving energy that keeps a group cohesive and committed to each other.  Your own identification with a group is likely to be high, especially if your connection to the group is based on family, ethnic or historical ties.

With your Moon in the 11th House, if you become active in social causes, you are likely to pour emotional energy into your efforts and feel personally committed to the cause. The primary danger of such intense and emotional group involvement is that you may not have the emotional energy left to share with your own family or to provide yourself with emotional “down time.”

Insecurities

Having your Moon in the 11th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will be so bonded and attached to your identification with your group, that you lose your own sense of personal identity. In essence, you merge your identity into the group identity so that the group consciousness becomes your own subconscious, in a sense. With your Moon in the 11th House, your attachment to the group results in your own attitudes and behavior being conditioned by the group.

As an individual with your Moon in the 11th House, your behavior is very vulnerable to domination by peer pressure, for you cannot see yourself going against the group or leaving it. The group has become your family. You will do anything to remain a part of the group and retain the group’s approval.

Focus of Emotional Development

With your Moon in the 11th House, your emotional development is likely to have been nurtured by group and peer influences during your early years. Having your Moon in the 11th House, your interaction with peer groups and group members, the dynamics of your emotional attachment to the group, and your reaction to the attitudes and actions that the group takes toward you are often the vehicles through which you further develop your emotional capabilities and patterns. At a later stage in life, it is not uncommon for your emotional involvement and attachments to be bound up with your relations and attitudes toward the larger society in which you live. You may also experience emotional development in connection with thinking about or planning for the future.
