i'm wondering if moon signs have more personality because it governs emotions do people read it first before the sun sign or after i also think the rising sign is powerful because its how people view you first.

Actually I do believe Rising has more influence than most people believe. It is the convention that Moon does have more influence on your personality since it governs your emotions. But I've been noticing how more and more frequently I've been acting more like a Virgo (my rising). I have always be somewhat of a perfectionist, but it's taking over more of many aspects of my life as I've come to realize. I am also very non-confrontational in real life. On the board my Aries side comes out. I've also tend to over think things a lot even if they come to past moths ago. People also believe me as shy and I find it quite difficult to relate to people, I'm also a home body and tend to like to keep to myself. Not to say I don't go out and have fun, but I notice I haven't been doing it quite as frequently now, I tend to prefer to stay home.

As for moon, I see a lot of my moon governing my personality, though my sun (I feel) will always be my essence. My moon is actually in opposition to my Sun and I feel that confusion in myself when I come to very contradicting ideas in my head (this I thank my Virgo rising or else I'd just be a bundle of confusion) and I usually am always re-balancing my center because of the constant contradiction of my moon and sun. My moon is in Libra and I feel this governs my personality a lot. I do feel somewhat indecisive of issues and am always thinking of all possible sides (pros and cons... both sides of the story) before I make a decision, which I think quiets my Aries irrational abrasivness (leaping before I look sort of deal).

Your moon and rising are in opposition so I'm assuming you should feel a confusion between your identity and your emotions?

I'm not expert, but that is the conclusion I've drawn based on all the things I've read about astrology.

Wow, you have a LOT of Capricorn in your chart, which means you might have a little bit more of Capricorn influence. Meaning you're ambitious, hardworking, practical, and prudent. Libra in Mercury indicates that you are extremely good at communicating, I'm assuming you're also very diplomatic in your communication skills. Venus in Libra tells me you're very indecisive when it comes to love, but your moon in Leo once you find someone to love you are extremely loyal. Mars describes your energy level in our basic everyday lives. Since yours is a Virgo you tend to be productive, busy, and goal oriented. I assume you must feel like you need to be constantly busy, maybe you get antsy if you're not?

Pluto describes our generation, everyone born between 1984-1996 are all Scorpios in Pluto. I actually found an interesting site about that. http://www.astrofuturetrends.com/id29.html
