How Sun and Moon Interact

What effect, based on your experiences and observation, does your Moon sign have on your Sun sign for you personally?

In my opinion the sun sign is what people see you in the outside. And the moon is what is in the inside....i'm not very accurate, it's best to ask someone else =P

Creepy eyes, I haven't seen you in a while!!! 🙂

I know what the moon sign is supposed to influence...but I was hoping to see other peoples' perspectives on how they feel their Sun and Moon interact.

notso, it affects me in a lot of ways 😛...I wish more people had posted

hehehe...sb, it is an interesting combination since the signs are so different..then again, mine are literally opposites 😛..but anyway...in what situations is it confusing? Do you think having a Gemini moon makes you appear less serious and no-nonsense than Caps are supposed to be?

Ah! *realization dawns*

For the purpose of this thread, it sucks that you have the same Sun and Moon sign...I think you'd be able to give good insight on it.

No, I was being sincere. But keep your sarcasm radar sharp; you may need it in the future.

Hmm...I have read so much on opposing Sun-Moon combinations...there's a lot of "internal struggle"-geared things...certain conflicts, I agree with...as for balancing me and making me whole, yes, I think you are right about that. I still consider myself more of an Aquarius than a Leo, though...but emotionally...yes...I am definitely what an Aquarius is typically described as being. In a lot of ways, I see Aqua Moon complementing my Sun.

I MEAN...I still consider myself more of a LEO than an AQUARIUS but emotionally yada yada..yeah

"Now, may I ask, how do you think your rising affects your Sun?"

You may, but it's a tricky question. Anything I say is going to sound hopelessly conceited so I'd rather just hush.

Now, the houses...they are in the houses that rule opposite signs as well...my Sun is in the 9th, and Moon is in the 3rd.

I definitely feel aquarian energy. I also have a loaded 11th house so this could be another reason. I don't feel any 'internal' struggle' any more than the next person. I am having a hard time understanding the term maybe?

I like this combo. Both are very independant and strong willed. Mountains can be moved with strong fixed influence. At least I think so. I think aqua provides what leo would be needing. It helps me see outside of myself and realize there is a whole world outside of me that is just as important. I blame any weirdo tendencies I have on my moon : P

Purrrfect -

"A woman with Sun opposition Moon, who had lived through her parents' difficult divorce as a child, complained that her husband seemed to be quite complacent about their marriage, simply expecting that it would work out without much effort. His Sun and Moon form a sextile. When faced with a relationship problem, her instinct was to work on it actively, but her husband did not see such a need. In fact, he did not "see" the problems as clearly as his wife did. He felt that she was looking for problems that didn't exist, while she felt he was taking the relationship for granted by not addressing problems as they arose.

A stressful Sun-Moon aspect seems to imprint the native with the (often unconscious) expectation that relationships can very easily fail, and the natives will be especially aware of conflicts in partnership, taking them to heart. The upside of this natal conflict is found in this sensitivity itself! Those with a Sun-Moon opposition, in particular, are generally willing to work out problems in a relationship due to their acute awareness and sensitivity to the conflicts that arise in their partnerships. However, if they face a partner who denies the problems exist in the first place, as in the example above, they can easily become frustrated. This is because learning and growing through relationships is a basic urge - so basic that it is a need. These natives are learning about themselves through their relationships, and need partners who are willing to be a part of that process."

This is one of the conflicts I agree with...you may have already read it...I can post more, though, that may help your understanding, if you want...

aw notso thank you. 🙂

This is the first time I've read it.

Well, that seems like the best kind of 'inner struggle' then. The ability to see things clearly and willingness to work things out? Could be worse. Don't you think? In most cases both people are unaware of why they have problems.

::waves back at pluto::

ouch pluto, you have saturn in the first? I can imagine why you would seem introverted. Being approachable and being an extrovert can be two different things.

"Well, that seems like the best kind of 'inner struggle' then. The ability to see things clearly and willingness to work things out? Could be worse. Don't you think?"

Sometimes it is an issue for me. Over-analyzing and whatnot. But yeah, it can come in handy too.

pluto...

"ur an introvert,yet ur frieands with everybody...how is that possible!"

n i think this above said thing makes it pretty clear...as to what this combo means...

yes, it does...I was hoping you would answer 😛 The combination of Virgo and Aqua is very intriguing to me...and it makes sense that it would have that effect on you

"I'm a Scorp and I feel my Libra moon makes me more pleasant and adaptable to others than a usual Scorpio should be, I feel like it soften my Scorpio surface a bit kind of like a sand paper would do."

Hmmmmmm...Scorp/Libra...what about in intense and emotional situations? Do you tend to react in a detached, lighthearted manner or with the typical Scorpio intensity?

i've got a virgo sun and aries moon. as a virgo, i tend to get caught up in the details and not move on until after a while. but the aries moon starts to get impatient, thereby making me move forward. furthermore, virgos like to play safe, aries are all about exploring and throwing caution to the wind, so i think the moon has a nice effect on my sun. i can be really impulsive sometimes, a trait that is not descriptive of virgos, lol. what i don't like about my moon is that i have such a short fuse because of the aries placement. combine that with a virgo sun, and you have a really blunt and caustic chic when she's angry, and i'll say anything that crosses my mind at the moment (and they're usually true too). but i'm better at controlling my temper, though it still lingers.

The sun reprisents the ego and the moon represent your emotions. Venus is related to emotions too since it reprisents love and mars is the physical drive and is related to the sun. Women are more emotional inclined, so they act more like their moon than men. Dont get me wrong though, the moon still color the sunsign in men too.

The way I see it, the sunsign and the moonsign sorta blend into eachother. It was very clear in my cap sun moon libra girlfriend. She had the workerbee attitude, inner drive and emotional "uncomfortableness" of a capricorn and the social skills and friendliness of a libra. Her venus is in scorpio, and that really showed in her constant need for closeness and her allways high libido.

With me being a sun aries and moon in capricorn, i really have a "must win, must be successfull" inner drive. If people tell me something is impossible for me to acheve, I smile and feel very motivated to go all out and prove them wrong. Nobody have ever discourraged me to give up anything. Critisism rather motivates me. Im very social, humorus and entertaining. I have alot of planets in 11th house, so i've got alot of aqua influence. And my MC is aqua too. Im also pretty realistic and good with money. Work is important to me. Im still a funloving aries. I think my cancer ascendant makes me appear very friendly and makes me more intuned with my own and other peoples emotions. Capricorn moon are described as emotionally cold, while in reality were just as emotional as the next person. We just hide sadness and control bad emotions more.

i have aries sun with a water moon which makes me at times emotionally unbalanced. I also have an earth rising so my sun sign doesn't always get a chance to play out.
Your moon sign is your subconscious.
Your rising sign is what people see when they first meet you
Your sun sign is the core you (how you act on impulse)

all 3 together make your whole personality

I have heard that you should read about your rising as well as your sun sign to know more about yourself; however I disagree because your sun, moon and rising are all important in order to know why u act the way u do

-- just my 2 cents
