ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ aries moons: the good, the bad, the ugly ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

the master thread for aries moon appreciation + drag

PART ONE ➥ why we should appreciate them

these are energetic and intellectually creative people who REFUSE to ever be told who they are or what they need to be.

these are leaders + trailblazers but when mars energy resides on the moon they can struggle to really identify what it is they want to create or do. their need to exert themselves isn't as heavily present as a person with sun in aries (which is exalted)

A moon in Aries person is a slow burn kind of creative. They want to work hard and defy all odds to achieve what they want, but they may not always vocalize this as strongly as the aries sun. Making their ambition more introspective than reactive.

But like the true child of the zodiac, they are dreamers. This is probably why they are quick to drop everything and start a new hobby or interest on a whim. They are unpredictable, imaginative, and can't be tied down.

In love, the aries moon person wants to explore new places with you. They want to compete with you or playfully tease you. They're always up for an adventure or willing to try anything at least once. They attract open minded and high energy partners.

IN SUMMARY: Aries moon people are always ready to accept a challenge, they are rooted in the routine of transformation and one thing that stays consistent in their life is the need to always redefine who they are and what they want out of life.

They work hard/play harder, will lend a hand in need, is a closeted hopeless romantic, but may often deny this if ever accused of being one. They fall in love with exhilaration and excitement + care less about the superficial. They want the grit of reality over what glitters.

We love an aries moon person because unlike their Aries sun counterpart, they are a bit more like a firework on the fourth of July. You don't know what to expect when you light the fuse, but once the sky is filled with electric you can't look away from them.

PART TWO ➥ Why we should approach with caution

Like all fire sign energy, this is a person with a short fuse. Their attention is fleeting, and even if appear calm and collected, they are anything but.

Want to see an aries moon lose their cool?

Tell them the agenda they have planned is boring or attempt to suggest something different than what they currently want to do. Or just refuse to allow them to take over the plans of the evening.

Watch the temper tantrum ensue.

Their initial reaction is always lead by the passionate mars energy that they carry. They get easily swept away in their thoughts and ideologies. So when you force them to reevaluate their current next big thing, this is a personal attack to their sense of self.

ARIES MOONZ TRY NOT TO FALL IN LOVE WITH THE IDEA OF SOMETHING VS. THE ACTUAL THING CHALLENGE.

Like their Libra sister sign, they refuse to rationalize their desires with logic and often times have bonds or plans fall through because of this.

As lazy and exciting as it is to "live in the moment" your life passes you by when you sit on the sidelines and dodge any semblance of a commitment in fear that you'll be trapped. News flash: You're already trapped. You're the bunny in Alice in Wonderland who runs nowhere fast.

In conclusion: ARIES MOON PEOPLE ARE YOUTHFUL AND RESILIENT CHILDREN but if they don't harness their passions and ambitions into hard work that amounts to their efforts, they will only continue to run quickly caught inside their own hamster cage.
