Moon in Aries in the Second House

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 2nd House:

Generally, having the Moon in the 2nd House is a conducive placement for the Moon, if your emotional attachment to your possessions and resources does not become excessive. If you are emotionally healthy, you are likely to enjoy a sense of security and well-being. This, in turn, may provide you with the emotional stability and grounding that can allow you to better acquire, manage and enjoy your resources and possessions.

Having your Moon in the 2nd House, assuming emotional stability, you are likely to have a “down-to- earth” attitude toward material resources. Your attitude toward the material dimensions of life is likely to have been conditioned by your family background and up- bringing. Therefore, your attitude toward possessions and material security is likely to be that which most people in society share.

With your Moon in the 2nd House, you also place too much emotional weight on your possessions, resources and material condition. You may be emotionally attached to your possessions. You may also have a very emotional response when your material security is threatened (or unexpectedly enhanced). The Moon in the 2nd House placement also suggests that you may place a great deal of value on your emotional life, as well as on family, domestic life and/or your heritage.

Insecurities

As an individual with your Moon in the 2nd House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will be extremely attached to your possessions, fearing their loss and feeling that you could not live without them. With your Moon in the 2nd House, your emotional state is effectively determined by what you feel you have. You derive your sense of security from retaining what you have. This leaves you vulnerable for riding an emotional roller-coaster if your material fortunes are threatened or unstable.  Your responses and behavior are totally conditioned to react to your material circumstances.

Focus of Emotional Development

With your Moon in the 2nd House, what you value is likely to play a major role in your emotional development.  If you value material objects solely, then your emotional development will focus on your reaction to your material circumstances and, secondarily, on how others affect those circumstances. If you view your emotional capacity as a resource, you are likely to place a lot of energy into developing that resource.

As an individual with your Moon in the 2nd House, the value that you place on your emotions is likely to result in you cultivating your emotional health. If your values are more abstract, or if you are searching for what you value in life, your emotions may play a role in enabling that search. As your search for ultimate value progresses, you grow in emotional complexity and richness and you become more aware of what is of real value in the world.
