Aries is an active, fiery sign, but the Moon is cool and passive. This disparity in the Moon in Aries placement gives great brilliance and sharpness to the senses, but also results in a nervous temperament. If you have your Moon in Aries, you have a high-strung disposition. Your sense-impressions of the world around you are swift and instantaneous, and you never doubt them for a moment. As a result, you tend to be very sure of your opinions and don’t like it when people question or contradict you.

Having your Moon in Aries, patience is not your long suit. You won’t spend time laboriously wading through details; you prefer to plunge right in and see what happens. In the vibrant sign of Aries, the Moon endows you with charm, vivacity, and a special knack for getting others to do what you want. You are extremely fond of talking (about almost anything) and sound knowledgeable on a wide range of subjects. But you have a short attention span. With your Moon in Aries, although enthusiasm and energy abound, the long, hard necessity of really performing often causes you to fall short of your goal. But you are quick to pick yourself up and move on to something new and exciting, leaving the old project to wither away. However, if you are pursuing a goal you really have your heart set on, you will drive yourself to the limit of your endurance.

As an individual with your Moon in Aries, where you really excel is on the social scene. You are able both to stimulate and to delight, and no party should be without the wit and sparkle of an Aries Moon. In addition, you are generous when you feel kindly disposed toward someone. Having your Moon in Aries, you give unselfishly of your time, attention, concern, and even your money. However, an individual with their Moon in Aries who feels slighted or unappreciated will sulk and pout and complain about the world’s harsh treatment.

On the plus side, having your Moon in Aries, you have a great passion for life. A basic optimism underlies your personality, and unless your Sun is in a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), you don’t hold a grudge for long. With your Moon in Aries, your most striking characteristic is a hatred of restriction. You will do what you want without any interference. Because you resent advice, you rarely are willing to listen to other people’s opinions. This obviously has its drawbacks. But in a situation in which a decision must be made instantly, no one is more decisive and forceful than you. Having your Moon in Aries, you perform best under pressure and handle emergencies as quickly as a firefighter answering an alarm bell.

With your Moon in Aries, in emotional relationships you struggle against being tied down or dominated. You have to be the one in control. You demand freedom in a relationship, but this is exactly what you won’t give in return. You insist on being the center of your lover’s attention. Having your Moon in Aries, you want to be loved passionately, and you want love to be always exciting and romantic. If an affair dwindles into ordinariness, you quickly grow dissatisfied and restless.

The sign of Aries symbolically represents a fork in the road, and the lives Moon in Aries individuals are marked by sudden change. They often reach positions of authority and are successful in the world of business and government. As a Moon in Aries individual, the essence of your emotional life is the love of the chase. You view life as a grand quest, and impulsively pursue love, success and attention from others. The chase, in fact, is far more satisfying than the prize itself. Achieving the prize is never as thrilling as wanting the prize and galvanizing your energy into going after it.

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 9th House:

With your Moon in the 9th House, although there is some danger that the emotional side of your personality may not be as fully developed internally, the Moon in the 9th House shows the potential for your emotional development to occur in other ways. The focus of the type of experience represented by the 9th House is outward, experiential and cognitive rather than emotional. Thus, having your Moon in the 9th House, you may not develop or exercise your emotional faculties much in intimate and personal settings. You are more likely to experience emotions that are energizing, thrilling or have to do with discovery.

As an individual with your Moon in the 9th House, you are most likely to respond with your emotions when you are confronting or are involved with the wider world. You may also be driven to understand your emotions or your subconscious. Thus, with your Moon in the 9th House, rather than being directly felt, your emotions may become an object of cognition and reasoning. This may tend to negate the subjective side of the psyche that is symbolized by the Moon. If you do not regain touch with this subjective world, you are likely to lose a vital part of yourself. On the other hand, by being detached from your emotions and through understanding the emotional process you are more likely to be in control of your emotions and to be able to maintain a state of emotional equilibrium.

Insecurities

Having your Moon in the 9th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you may be intimidated by the wide scope within which you feel called upon to operate at the emotional level. You may feel that you cannot possibly give of yourself emotionally to the range of experience indicated by the 9th House. You, therefore, hold back emotionally and you fail to develop or manifest your emotional side.

Alternatively, with your Moon in the 9th House, you may take such an objective approach to your own emotions that you feel intimidated by any subjective experience of their reality that may intrude on you from your subconscious. This leads you to be fearful of becoming emotionally intimate. Having your Moon in the 9th House, another manifestation of your emotional insecurity is for you to broadcast your emotions, almost treating the emotional side of life as a sport or adventure. This is a defense mechanism that allows you to avoid intimate emotional experience.

Focus of Emotional Development

As an individual with your Moon in the 9th House, you will tend to develop emotionally by acquiring broad experiences (e.g., travel) and by attempting to understand your own emotionality. Thus, emotional development may occur later in life, after a sufficient amount of experience has been accumulated and your horizons have been widened. Your emotions may also lean toward excitement and enthusiasm as appropriate emotional responses to your discovery of a wider world.
