## **Natal Moon Aries Sign Meaning**

The native will be haughty, independent, sensual, head of an enterprise, fickle minded, courageous, and fond of travelling when in the Natal Chart Moon in Aries. He will be rich but will spend whatever money he would earn. A full Moon will give excellent results with regard to wealth if it is in the ascendant or in the second house in this sign. He would keep bad company. He will have a ruddy complexion. Not only that, but he would have bad nails, knees, and hair. There would be marks of wounds and boils on his body, and he would be afraid of water. He may suffer from troubles in the head and fevers. The wife and mother would be dominating, and he would not pull along well with his brothers.

If the Moon is located in this sign, hemmed in by two malefic planets, the native will die of bums or injuries inflicted by weapons. He will be afraid of water. The Moon in this sign in the ascendant is good. If the Sun aspects the Moon, the native will have a quick temper, and he will be keen to join the army or police. Aspect of Jupiter or Venus will be welcome as it will make the native rich and highly placed.

In Aries, the Moon stresses independence, drive – a need for self-assertion. The Moon in this, the first zodiacal sign, tells us the native’s personality is coloured by a desire to get at the truth, which can be abstract. It can be a symbol, something to aim for rather than to attain. Maybe the truth is constantly out of reach. The Moon in Aries is not discouraged, but continues the quest. In a way, this makes for idealism and high principles, but not necessarily for concrete results.

The Moon here may cause others to lose patience with the native – because he is forever concerned with what should be, instead of ‘making do’ with what exists. The astrologer, of course, must combine the indications for the Moon in Aries with the House position occupied by the Moon.

Such a combination means using the art of synthesis. And this, as we continue to repeat, is the backbone of the art of astrology. So the Moon here stresses a seeking of the truth as the native sees it. What kind of ‘truth’ does he see? It could be that he sees the truth only as it is convenient for him to see it.

This, of course, depends upon other factors in the chart, including aspects and House positions. But, taken alone, the Moon here makes for one who can fight for the truth as long as the ‘truth’ is of practical value – concerning his home, his future, his security. ‘Truth’ here can be narrow and limited. The native inclines toward a headstrong attitude, one which can bring about conflicts, resentment, envy and actual physical battles if the temper is not controlled.

## Natal Moon in Aries Traits

The native must learn to develop his abilities through study, experience, perhaps travel. Then he must stress an enlargement of his horizon, a wider point of view – and self-improvement. This is not a crusading kind of drive to improve others – it could merely be a negative expression of the Moon in Aries. Let the native first improve himself and his own life; then, perhaps, he can inspire others to greater accomplishments.

There is a tendency here to be selfish, headstrong, so sure of being right that the vision is narrowed down and only limited pictures are observed. These people have plenty of push, drive and energy. They can fight for what they believe to be right – and they refuse to be pushed around. They have great potential, especially in inventiveness and originality. (Tracy Marks) Those of us with Moon in Aries need to express ourselves honestly and openly, to assert our individuality, and to be enthusiastically involved in new projects and activities.

Aries is not an easy position for the Moon; we are likely to have counter dependent tendencies, often denying our needs for closeness and intimacy and attempting to be emotionally self-sufficient. When deep feelings and needs emerge, we may unconsciously fend them off with anger, with impulsive action, and sometimes with sexual expression.

Most likely, an Arian parent was quick to respond to our wants and desires, and allowed us the freedom to pursue our own interests. Such a parent encouraged our independent nature, possibly because he or she was independent and / or self-absorbed and did not wish to be burdened with responsibility for our welfare.

He or she may have imparted attitudes of ‘be strong’ and ‘be tough’, but such attitudes may have had less to do with an urge to further our development than they had to do with defences against closeness and the expression of need and vulnerable feelings. Our parent may have encouraged our individuality while simultaneously failing to really affirm and support who we were.

Sometimes an Arian Moon indicates a submissive parent who catered to our whims and impulses, but never really acknowledged or met our true needs, or helped us to develop the frustration tolerance we needed in order to mature and adapt effectively. One of our tasks may therefore be to learn how to differentiate impulse from deeper wants and needs, and to come to know what we really want beyond the thrill of momentary satisfactions.

This may also involve learning how to value and fulfil our deeper needs, maintaining our basic independence, while also allowing ourselves to experience and come to terms with our own dependence as human beings. Having Moon in Aries also suggests that we need to become rooted in our physical and instinctive natures, experiencing profoundly ‘I exist’ and ‘I am’ in a manner which gives us reality and substance, so that we are not continually in search of excitement and stimulation in order to experience our vitality and aliveness.
