Moon in Aries in the Tenth 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 10th House:

The Moon in the 10th House indicates that you have a strong drive to succeed and also indicates the importance of a career in your life. The Moon in the 10th House placement suggests a number of strengths. It may be easy for you to develop habits that lead to success and accomplishment. Accomplishment and being goal oriented tend to be second nature to you. With your Moon in the 10th House, you may seem naturally capable of intense focus and a drive to accomplish tasks. Your ambition is likely to be generated from a deep place, responding to subconscious motivation and colored by emotional attachment. This often results in a determination to succeed.

With your Moon in the 10th House, you are also capable of bringing a sense of caring and concern into your career. You may have a career that provides an outlet for your desire to protect and nurture others. Another manifestation of the Moon in the 10th House placement is that your career path and the steps that you take to achieve success and accomplish your goals often seem instinctively guided. You may possess a very sure intuition when it comes to matters of success in life. Having your Moon in the 10th House, your emotional attachment and drive toward successful outcomes can be an important factor in your being able to achieve a high level of success.

However, with the Moon in the 10th House, the Moon is opposed to the house which it rules (the 4th House), this shows an opportunity for tension and stress to be present. You may be driven and emotionally attached to success, but the “natural” role for the emotions is that  of nurturing and involvement in private, not public, life. Therefore, having your Moon in the 10th House, you may experience some conflicted emotions, guilt over neglecting your family and domestic matters, or feelings that you are missing something with respect to your emotional life. While you may possess a visceral drive to succeed, you may still be intimidated by public life, seeking protection from its uncertainties and harshness. If you give into these feelings, you may not be as successful as you want to be.

Insecurities

As an individual with your Moon in the 10th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you may feel so driven to succeed, particularly due to the conditioning and expectations that you received as a child, that you feel  that you can never live up to these expectations or be successful enough. As a result, you are never content and you are constantly under self-produced stress generated by worry and anxiety over whether you will achieve success and meet your goals.

Having your Moon in the 10th House, you are likely to experience stress especially at the emotional level. Stomach problems or other problems with your digestive system may result from too much stress. You seem to have no time for family or for experiencing the world emotionally, except as stress. You may also experience guilt and conflict as a result of your neglecting family due to your involvement with your career.

You may try to suppress these emotions of guilt. However, this often results in all of your emotions being suppressed. With your Moon in the 10th House, you may, therefore, appear cold and only concerned with your career and ambitions. Your inner conflict between career and family responsibilities, however, is likely to reduce your effectiveness in pursuing your goals.

Focus of Emotional Development

As an individual with your Moon in the 10th House, your early emotional development is likely to be shaped by your reaction to the expectations of others with regard to your achievements and accomplishments. You may continue to rely on emotional “strokes” that you receive from achieving successful outcomes. Regardless, events in your career and your experience and reaction to your attempts to achieve and meet your goals are likely to play a role in your further emotional development. Also, it is possible that, if you focus on your emotional development, you could treat this as a task or goal to be accomplished.
