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 4th House:

The Moon in the 4th House is traditionally a strong placement for the Moon, since it occupies the house that it rules. This placement is one of the most conducive to emotional development and to the development of qualities of commitment, caring and nurturing. It is also one of the most conducive to you getting in touch with your subconscious or with your heritage. If there is a downside to having your Moon in the 4th House, it may be that your emotional energy is overly focused on your private life.

Having the Moon in the 4th House suggests that you probably have a warm and close home life. If this is not the case, you are likely to miss this and to either create such an environment for yourself later on in life or seek a substitute.  Typically, with your Moon in the 4th House, you become emotionally bonded with your family and you may give or receive much nurturing. You may be attracted to finding your roots or you may have an attachment to your heritage. The qualities that flow from your subconscious or intuition are also likely to be well-developed in you and be basic to your nature.

Insecurities

As an individual with your Moon in the 4th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will feel the need to protect yourself emotionally from others and from whatever threats and disasters may be waiting for you in the world. A typical defense mechanism is to seclude yourself within the confines of family dynamics. There, you are likely to demand a controlling role. Through emotionality, guilt and evoking family ties and responsibilities, you are able to manage the emotional dynamics of the family so that your own emotional needs are protected and satisfied. With your Moon in the 4th House, if others within or outside your family, threaten your control or if they attempt to introduce something foreign into your emotional life, your response is generally reactive and emotional.

Focus of Emotional Development

Having your Moon in the 4th House, your emotional development is likely to be strongly influenced by and take place within your family. This includes your birth family and the family that you may form as an adult. Your emotional development may also take place through private contemplation and by exploring your own emotionality and subconscious life.
