Hmmmm... I have read that the sun is who others see you as (external) and the Moon is who you see yourself as (internal), which would work both with PM's "more like an aqua(my moon)...even the sun(virgo) is many a times overshadowed by my moon..." comment and cherie's "I relate to my moon sign 90% of the time" comment. It would be interesting to ask those around you which they see more in you (both people you know well and not)... That being said, they are both women (or atleast I am guessing 😉 ).

"i think my rising is leo.(cuz the cancer one doesn't fit me). i love attention, and hate non-attention."

Amusing... I don't suppose you know many Cancers? 😉

"who would you relate to more."

Hmmmm... My rising is Capricorn and my moon is Gemini (and my sun Scorpio). In y younger days, I would say I definitely related far more to my rising sign. The whole serious, responsible, up-tight, you know the "Cappy thing"... While my Cap rising was predominant in my youth and early adulthood, in retrospect, I can see influences of my Gem moon from time to time. As I matured, the roles reversed. I became far less controlling, materialistic, close-minded, and stick-in-the-mudish... I just became more free, easy going, open-minded, laid back, adaptable, go-with-the-flowish, and even open to taking risks and being wild and crazy. But, intriguingly enough, it does say that Cap rising will have a reverse maturation ("Saturn rules this Ascendant, and this generally means a kind of backwards way of living?as children, they are serious and bear a lot of responsibility; and as they grow up, they age beautifully, learning how to loosen up."). All things considered, my lossened up self would most definitely be my Gemini moon... LOL!

But, I love my Gem Moon. It makes me fun and happy and gives me abstract intelligence and great communication skills (considering I am a Scorp, LOL!). And, I love my Scorp Sun. It makes me reflective and emotionally deep. And, I love my Cap Rising (yes! OMG!?!). It keeps me grounded and gives my a great sense of practicality (whether I actually pay attention to it or not, LOL!). I love being me...for all the good, the bad, and the oh so naughty! 🙂

But, to answer your question, I haven't a real clue... Maybe you can figure it out from my post.

My moon is in taurus and the only thing i feel from that is that im stubborn and can sometimes be kinda cold... but then i revert right back to my sun and feel horribly bad about being so cold and then i spend the rest of the day apologizing for it... as for my mars, it's in pisces just like my sun... so do i attract pisces? and as for my venus, it's also in pisces...

sounds like a ball of confusion to me

i identify with both actually. i also have moon in aries (in the 5th, naturally ruled by leo), and my fuse is so short...but i've gotten a lot better, which i believe is due to my virgo sun sextile my scorpio ascendant, which would put my sun in the 10th house, naturally ruled by capricorn. these three signs can be a bit cold in expression, lol.

its not such a bad thing for me to say that i relate to my moon sign aries 90% of time.Im a loving giving person.Everyones personality is different.But if you try to hurt me then ill scorch your A $ $ .I'm aggressive when making decsions especially when it comes to my carrer,my family,and other personal relationships.So being that my sun sign is leo and my moon is aries makes me hell of a woman.Double fire in my chart.I'm a woman who has a lot of passion.I'm glad also that my sun sign is leo-fixed fire because it doesn't allow to slack off when it comes to certain things.Once I start something I have to see it through.basically

its no math here people just a simple question.your moon sign personality vs you rising sign personality.I didn't make this up people this is astrology.Your moon sign is your emotional side.Its relates to men and women but more so women because we are emotional.We think with our emotions.Rising sign is how others see you,your external nature.

My sister has moon in Aries and Sagittarius sun, I can notice her moon personality ocassionally not necessarily easy to differentiate the two sometimes its just that when she's in one of her 'headstrong' moments is when I notice the Aries flair which might as well be Sagittarius also, - I have a good book on moon signs by Sasha Fenton.

My Scorpio rising keeps my outer self 'closed in' most of the time and its quite a contradiction with my gregarious Gemini sun, Moon in Cancer can suggest that I have a sensitive emotional nature - which I am ocssionally; my closed in rising sign mostly indicates that my inner self is vastly different from my natural facade. How much can I relate with my moon sign? I'd say perfectly as this is a very original 'at home' placement.

""People don't usually try to guess my sign. And I don't bring up astrology in conversation. One, because I'm a skeptic; and two, because that would be wierd.

The few times people have attempted to guess, I got Libra and Leo, neither of which are present in my astro chart.""

Someone recently tried to guess my sign.......they said Leo lol
I'm a Virgo/Leo Cusp with a Sag rising

Rising = Virgo
Moon = Aries

I definitely have strong Aries emotional reactions, but i suppose i relate mostly to my Virgo Rising.

And even though i am an Aquarius, i have a lot of Fire and Earth in my chart so i find that i am drawn to other Fire and Earth signs more so than Air and Water.
