The Aries Moon: what you need

You like to be in charge — you want to control your own projects and plans and not be under anyone else's thumb. You have an intense drive to succeed and put a lot of pressure on yourself. Inside, you're filled with nervous energy and worry about how you're going to handle everything. You hate to be bored; you're always looking for something different — new people and places that promise excitement and adventure. You have very little patience; you need to practice sticking things out. You're also impatient with people who can't resolve a problem. You believe in taking action. What you do have are great generosity and enthusiasm. And although you suffer from occasional self-doubt, you know that if you really want to do something, you can!

Identity and instinct

When the Sun and Moon occupy signs of the same element (fire, earth, air, or water), there exists a natural harmony between conscious identity and emotional needs. This combination creates internal coherence between what one strives to become and what feels emotionally secure.

The same six areas of life, read once through the conscious Aries Sun and once through the instinctive Aries Moon. Where the two rows agree, this person is unconflicted; where they diverge is usually where the friction actually lives.

Common questions

What does it mean to have a Aries Sun and Aries Moon?

With Sun and Moon both in Aries, this is a chart of internal agreement: the conscious will and the emotional instinct pull in the same direction, for better and for worse. Aries traits get amplified rather than balanced by a different lunar temperament.

How do I find out my Moon sign?

The Moon changes sign roughly every two and a half days, so a birth date alone is not enough - two people born the same day can have different Moon signs. You need the date, the time, and the place of birth to calculate it.

Is a Aries Sun with a Aries Moon a difficult combination?

It is a concentrated one rather than a difficult one. With both lights in Aries, there is no second temperament to balance the first, so the sign's strengths and its blind spots both run unchecked.
