Moon in Pisces in the Eleventh House

In the Moon in Pisces placement, Pisces and the Moon have a natural affinity; Pisces is the sign of depths of emotion, and the Moon represents your instinctive emotional reactions and sometimes your hidden dreams. Pisces is also the astrological sign of sorrow and self-undoing. If you have the Moon in Pisces you have deep feelings and an innate understanding of the human condition.

A peculiar danger for anyone with their Moon in Pisces is that the impressions received from the outside world will not accurately reflect the world as it is. Instead, they are filtered through an intense romanticism. With your Moon in Pisces, your instant reaction to stimuli is to interpret things as you would like them to be rather than as they are. You wear the reality distorting glasses of the incurable optimist, the dreamer, the poet.

Having your Moon in Pisces, your romantic emotionalism is not always apparent on the surface, for you try to keep this part of your nature well hidden. However, even the most pragmatic person with a Moon in Pisces feels the need to escape into a world of private imagination.

As a Moon in Pisces, you are artistic and have a keen love for beauty and the arts. Many Moon in Pisces individuals have a flair for acting, writing, composing, or painting. Gifted with vision and imagination, you express yourself well in creative areas. It is through the senses and emotions rather than the intellect that you perceive things. With your Moon in Pisces, you are extraordinarily intuitive and sometimes are gifted with psychic vision; you seem able to strip away the veil that separates the real world from the spiritual world, and to know things that others cannot comprehend.

As an individual with your Moon in Pisces, in the real world, unfortunately, you do not always have an easy time. You tend to let your emotions get the better of you. Though you seem confident and completely in charge (especially if your Sun is in a fire sign [Aries, Leo, Sagittarius]), you have a weakness for letting those with strong wills and definite opinions lead you onto unsuitable paths.

With your Moon in Pisces, although you can work tirelessly and unselfishly for others, you find it hard to be strict and disciplined with yourself. Having to make final decisions causes you conflict and anxiety. There is a strong tendency to escape harsh realities and obligations. Having your Moon in Pisces, sometimes you are perceived as gullible, but it is only your emotional nature that makes you appear that way. You are easy prey for unprincipled types who play on your tender feelings. It is an axiom in astrology that Moon in Pisces individuals are born under a special vibration that impels them to befriend humanity. Indeed, it is through helping others that you liberate yourself.

In love, as in the rest of your life, you prefer the illusion to the reality. It is the wild passion, the feeling of being swept away, that you desire. Having your Moon in Pisces, your most favorite life moments are when you feel the euphoria of love enveloping your entire being. You are a romance addict, and many Moon in Pisces individuals who drift from affair to affair keep wanting to experience the fabled glow of love as a form of psychological escapism.

Having your Moon in Pisces, you are a romantic who will do everything you can to make a mate happy. It is your nature to do this, even if you do not get an equivalent return from the other person. At the same time, you feel vulnerable and dependent and build up an elaborate array of defenses to avoid being hurt. However, once you get past playing the role of the victim, you are able to sustain a truly joyful relationship of honesty and depth.

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 11th House:

The Moon in the 11th House placement affords you a social avenue through which you can constructively channel your emotional needs and drives. It also suggests that you are likely to be a warm, caring person (conditioned, of course by your Moon sign), at home in a group situation and committed to social justice. Having your Moon in the 11th House, you may find yourself in the role of “group mother” (or “father”), providing the care-giving energy that keeps a group cohesive and committed to each other.  Your own identification with a group is likely to be high, especially if your connection to the group is based on family, ethnic or historical ties.

With your Moon in the 11th House, if you become active in social causes, you are likely to pour emotional energy into your efforts and feel personally committed to the cause. The primary danger of such intense and emotional group involvement is that you may not have the emotional energy left to share with your own family or to provide yourself with emotional “down time.”

Insecurities

Having your Moon in the 11th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will be so bonded and attached to your identification with your group, that you lose your own sense of personal identity. In essence, you merge your identity into the group identity so that the group consciousness becomes your own subconscious, in a sense. With your Moon in the 11th House, your attachment to the group results in your own attitudes and behavior being conditioned by the group.

As an individual with your Moon in the 11th House, your behavior is very vulnerable to domination by peer pressure, for you cannot see yourself going against the group or leaving it. The group has become your family. You will do anything to remain a part of the group and retain the group’s approval.

Focus of Emotional Development

With your Moon in the 11th House, your emotional development is likely to have been nurtured by group and peer influences during your early years. Having your Moon in the 11th House, your interaction with peer groups and group members, the dynamics of your emotional attachment to the group, and your reaction to the attitudes and actions that the group takes toward you are often the vehicles through which you further develop your emotional capabilities and patterns. At a later stage in life, it is not uncommon for your emotional involvement and attachments to be bound up with your relations and attitudes toward the larger society in which you live. You may also experience emotional development in connection with thinking about or planning for the future.
