Moon in Aries in the Seventh 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 7th House:
With your Moon in the 7th House, you can usually develop and express your emotional, subconscious in relative security, if you have a trusting relationship. You are likely to experience an emotional fullness in your relationships. This is generally positive unless you are emotionally needy or emotionally irrational.
Having your Moon in the 7th House, assuming you are engaged in a positive relationship, this is an excellent venue for working out your emotional and behavioral/conditioned problems and attitudes. The Moon in the 7th House also may signify that you bring an intuitive, nurturing, and responsive energy to you relationships. However, with your Moon in the 7th House, you face the danger that in being too attentive and bound to the needs of others, you may become too reliant on others. You may also be susceptible to being conditioned or emotionally influenced by those with whom you have close relationships.
With your Moon in the 7th House, when you learn that your partner’s emotional needs are as important and valid as your own, you then strive to fully develop your emotional side in order to both share this with your partner and to be more sensitive to and responsive to your partner. This, of course, flavors all of your interpersonal contacts. Consequently, the impression that you make on others is of someone who has a warm, caring and open personality. This is an impression which is conveyed by the genuine nurturing and caring attitude that you have for others. With your Moon in the 7th House, you have a “sixth sense” that responds to others’ needs and creates a subconscious or emotional bond in your interpersonal dealings.
Insecurities
Having your Moon in the 7th House, if you do not have a well defined sense of your own self, you will be unduly subject to the influences of others. The Moon symbolizes an open window into the world of the subconscious. When that window is placed in the 7th House, it allows all sorts of influences to enter your subconscious and to become implanted there to condition your behavior. You may feel that your own emotions lack validity. This results in you being ruled by the emotions of others. You respond to others without discrimination and, thus, become vulnerable to their exploitation.
With your Moon in the 7th House, as an overcompensating defense mechanism, you may try to impose your emotions and behaviors on others. You may try to control others or impose tradition-based behaviors on others – the stereotypical over-mothering attitude. Others may also perceive you to be emotionally aggressive, as you let loose your irrational side in typical “gargoyle” fashion.
Focus of Emotional Development
As an individual with your Moon in the 7th House, you feel those emotions that are symbolized by the Moon mostly through your relationships. You may bounce your emotions off your partner and discover your own emotional world by seeing it reflected in others. Your relationships become the venue for developing your emotional life. You generally are quite sensitive to the emotional states of others and you easily respond to emotional stimuli. This may result in an enhanced capacity for emotional bounding or you may psychically invite emotional dumping by others. With your Moon in the7th House, there is a danger that your emotional life and development will be dominated by others.
