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 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.
