Moon in Sagittarius in the Third House

With the Moon in Sagittarius, the Moon takes on a sparkle and brightness that it does not have in other sign. Sagittarius is the astrological sign of higher learning and breadth of vision. Here the Moon’s influence loses its passivity. If you have your Moon in Sagittarius you are noted for your quick, sharp mind, extraordinary insights, and an ability to get things done in a flash. Your clear-thinking intelligence sifts through sensory impressions swiftly and with startling lucidity.

Having your Moon in Sagittarius, you are the kind of person who envisions great goals and then, undaunted by possible failure, sets about achieving them. You rarely listen to advice about pitfalls and drawbacks, nor do you wait to find out if a plan is impractical or unworkable. With energy and enthusiasm you rush in and usually accomplish what you set out to do. One reason for your success is your keen judgment. With your Moon in Sagittarius, you have a way of seeing farther than people with their Moon in other signs.

As a Moon in Sagittarius individual you are fond of open spaces, travel, new people, and different surroundings. Among your most winning traits is adaptability—to different kinds of personalities and to foreign and strange places. Your immediate reaction to a new experience is to explore and learn more. With your Moon in Sagittarius, a chance to expand your horizons is always welcome, and you are not exclusively interested in making a profit. Money, in fact, does not stay long in your pocket or checking account. You feel that the whole purpose of money is to buy pleasure. You want to enjoy life.

As an individual with your Moon in Sagittarius, at times you can be quite careless and reckless. Since you believe in your luck, you tend to abandon yourself to whatever fate has in store. You operate on the theory of optimistic fatalism. The danger is that you may push your luck too far. However, a setback does not keep you down for long.

Having your Moon in Sagittarius, with renewed high spirits and a fresh outlook, you hitch up your wagon once more to the stars. Because of your charm and geniality, you have a knack for making friends. You also have a witty way with words and a buoyant sense of humor. Your social gaiety sweeps others along on a tidal wave of goodwill. With your Moon in Sagittarius, one of your most endearing qualities is your ability to perceive the best in people.

For the Moon in Sagittarius, when you criticize, you do so with such openness and candor that it is comparatively easy to take. Unlike the other fire Moons (Moon-Aries and Moon-Leo), Moon in Sagittarius individuals are not highly sexed and passionate. You look on love more as an adventure. You enjoy the thrill of discovery, the stimulating high of being in love, but you are unwilling to immerse yourself in deep emotional intensity. After a while your lovers may complain of your detachment or un-reachableness. Having your Moon in Sagittarius, a perfect soul-mate for you is someone who looks more outward than inward, and in time your love affairs become more like friendships. You are also noted for a roving eye and a refusal to be tied down to one person or one place. You need a lot of personal space and independence. This does not necessarily make you a bad marriage partner – you are a marvelous companion – it is just that you do have a certain lightheartedness about love and fidelity. Life to you, with a Moon in Sagittarius, means change and variety, and this attitude has a way of also applying to love.

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 3rd House:

The dynamics associated with the Moon in the 3rd House may make your emotions more evident, both to yourself and others. There is a natural tension in the Moon in the 3rd House placement. This is that there tends to be a constant interaction between the interior of your psyche and your external environment. You may find this tension motivating and stimulating. It may lead you to approach your immediate dealings with the world using your emotions to discover and gain information about your world. In this sense, you are able to feel your environment and this intuitive approach to being in your surroundings can be of great benefit.

The intuitive approach to your environment brought on by having your Moon in the 3rd House generally requires a fairly high degree of self-awareness and emotional awareness. Otherwise, you are likely merely to be reactive to your environment. The Moon’s association with family and the 3rd House’s association with siblings and early childhood suggest that you may maintain close family bonds, particularly with brothers and sisters and also with childhood friends.

Insecurities

Having your Moon in the 3rd House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will be afraid to display your real emotions or bring them to a point where they can be shared with others. Doing so would inform you of a deeper dimension to life but, subconsciously, you are afraid of what getting in touch with your deeper emotions might lead to. As a result, you bring to the surface only a superficial emotionality, thus protecting your sensitive core from the harsh realities of the world. With your Moon in the 3rd House, living on the surface and constantly aware only of your external environment, you have lost contact with your deeper emotions and those superficial feelings that pass for emotion become real to you. You may think that you are very emotional and you may even appear so to others but it is all on the surface. You are afraid to get in touch with your deep emotions, lest the reality of what you consider to be your life is revealed.

Focus of Emotional Development

With your Moon in the 3rd House, you are likely to have begun to develop emotionally relatively early in life, stimulated by your interaction with siblings or childhood friends. You are apt to continue to develop emotionally by interacting with your immediate environment and dealing with immediate circumstances. As you mature emotionally, you learn to have a more controlled and considered emotional response, rather than a conditioned, reactive response to people and events in your environment.
