Moon-Mars Aspects: The Defender

With the Moon conjunct, square, opposite, sextile, or trine Mars, you’re the defender. This combination gives you a feisty fighting spirit that will not quit. It can be a very compulsive thing, as the Moon represents our instincts and gut reactions while Mars is our mode of attack. So, you can say that you’re constantly on the attack, in one way or another. Sometimes, this just makes you dynamic, driven, and assertive. Other times, it makes you wildly defensive and temperamental. Insecurities can create a pretty significant chip on a Moon-Mars person’s shoulder and this edginess might be something you need to get over, if it makes you always look for a fight.

Since the Moon describes how we were when we were children, with your Moon sign in aspect to Mars, you were always ready for a fight when you were a kid. From the beginning, your instinct has been to push back whenever you’re pushed. Therefore, Moon-Mars children often have little to no problem handling themselves with siblings, classmates, friends, and even adults!

With a Moon-Mars aspect, your maternal parent supported you through strength and passion, urging you to get out there and show ‘em what you got!
