Independence and freedom are words that come to the mind of anyone who knows anything about Astrology when the subject is the sign of Aquarius, an Air sign ruled by Uranus, right? But did you know that these characteristics are very present when Aquarius is the Sun sign, but present themselves in a completely different way when this sign influences another star or planet?

The other stars and planets dictate the individualities and particularities of who we are, while the Sun is responsible for defining the outlines of our personality. If your birth chart indicated that you have the Moon in Aquarius or if you know someone with this astrological influence, find out right now what it means!

The Moon in the Birth Chart

If you want to understand what it means to have the Moon in Aquarius in your birth chart, you need to understand, first of all, what the Moon represents, by itself, in the birth chart. As explained before, the stars and planets are responsible for defining the general contours of who we are, while the Sun is the one that delineates the main aspects of our personality, the essence of someone. The Moon,in turn, is responsible for dictating the way we will deal emotionally with everything that happens to us, and also how we will deal with the emotions and feelings generated from it.

Besides this more general characteristic, the Moon is a symbol of femininity and maternity, so it represents that which shelters and protects us; it has, therefore, a very strong connection with self-knowledge and self-love, since it defines the way we will deal with our feelings and emotions.

Moon in Aquarius in the Birth Chart

Before we go on, it is important to explain: what does it mean to have the Moon in Aquarius? In short, the person who has the Moon in Aquarius was born at the exact moment the Moon was positioned in this constellation, so the way he deals with his emotions and other aspects explained in the previous topic will be influenced by the characteristics related to the sign of Aquarius.

Personal relationships for people with Moon in Aquarius

People influenced by this astrological position are very free and expansive in their affections and in the way they show love. They are full of friends and people who are always around, being happy with them. In love relationships, it is said around that the Aquarian influence causes people to have "hearts of ice" and to get very little romantically attached, because they desire so muchWhat happens is that they value their freedom above all else, so they will not submit themselves to any relationship, be it family, friendship, or love, in which they feel they cannot be who they are or that they are 100% surrendered to the will of the other.

These people need relationships to be light, without demands and without pressures, so they can't deal very well with love relationships in which jealousy is too frequent, or with family relationships in which parents are always trying to dictate their paths and choose what they should do next.

Nothing that is too intense works for this person, because they need a lot of harmony in the relationships they cultivate, so love relationships with homeric fights or purely watered with sex don't interest them, as well as friendships in which the two parties have frequent disagreements, or family relationships full of yelling and threats, for example.

Characteristics of a person with Moon in Aquarius

Emotional intelligence is probably the most outstanding characteristic of this person's life, because he can deal in a very detached way with his emotions, avoiding passions, frustrations, expectations and disappointments. The downside of this is that this characteristic can lead this person to be a little cold towards his emotions and feelings, by always wanting to rationalize everythingin an extreme way, leaving feeling a little aside.

People with the Moon in Aquarius have another very striking characteristic: they are people with strong opinions about most subjects, especially those to which they have already devoted a good deal of thought, so they often act in an inflexible, often even stubborn, manner. To avoid unnecessary confrontations and clashes, it is helpful if this person is surrounded byothers who think like her, which is a good way to avoid unnecessary wear and tear.

These people are also very attached to intellect, so the way they are attracted to other people is through intelligence. Because of this, they have a thirst for knowledge and usually consider themselves to be obviously quite intelligent as well. The downside of this is that they can be a bit intolerant and impatient with people they don't consider to be as intelligent as they are.

The woman with the Moon in Aquarius

The woman influenced by the Moon in Aquarius has as a very striking characteristic the need to find rational and logical solutions for everything that happens to her, including emotions and feelings that arise in her heart, so she can end up becoming very conscious of what she feels or lost in trying to find reasons that don't even exist.

This woman is, above all, very empathic and very human in her feelings, which is a direct influence of the need for freedom so inherent in the sign of Aquarius, so this woman tends to be always on the side of the weakest link in a conflict, for example, and is very progressive, abhorring conservative and prejudiced behavior.

The man with the Moon in Aquarius

The man with the Moon in Aquarius, on the other hand, is very rational and very technical in everything he does, so while he can put aside the whys about how the emotions he feels arise, he needs to justify each of his attitudes. Everything practical needs to have a logical explanation for this man.

It is a person who is usually very passionate about knowledge of all kinds, precisely because he or she is always trying to understand the motivations for actions and how and why things work the way they do.

If he is in a relationship, he likes the two of them to decide together; in a group of friends, he tries to stimulate democratic decisions; in the family, the choices need to be made together.

The challenges of having a Moon in Aquarius

This person's primary challenge is to balance the use of reason and emotion, since he tends to always think about everything in a very logical way, disregarding the feelings involved. But just as it is not good to act in a passionate and emotional way, it is important not to be extremely rational and leave aside what you feel.

The second challenge, still related to this characteristic, is to continually make peace with the past, because by always trying to investigate the reasons behind something, this person can end up diving into investigations as to why he acted as he did or why something appeared or happened in his path, which prevents him from living and moving forward.

Fighting arrogance is very important too. There are many different types of intelligence, so you can't think that someone is less than you just because they don't know what you know or don't have the same level of knowledge that you have.
