Moon in Aries in the BirthChart

A moon of emotions that is constantly on the boil. Like the natural symbol of Aries, the volcano, having your Moon in Aries is like having an internal fire that only those who know it can explain. The feeling is that nothing happens with the speed you require, so you are more impatient and have fervent emotions, wanting things to happen "yesterday" and having a greater difficulty in waiting for everything to happen when they are good and ready. The tendency is thus for you to be more spontaneous, temperamental and impetuous. You do not like to feel trapped or restrained and for this reason you are always trying to find new things, so you can stay on the move and express your feelings.

Everything you want must be based on this instant, because if you open the fridge and there is no milk, for example, heading straight for the supermarket cannot wait. Often this attitude of wanting things quickly may seem like a whim, but the point is that you tend to live under this aura of constant emotional turmoil.

There may be an inherent desire for constant adventure, such that to feel more emotionally comfortable, you need challenges and novelties and there has to be some degree of tension, nervousness and anxiety involved. Thus, you live in a torrent of stimuli and competitiveness through a heightened sense of urgency.

In intimacy and in moments with those close to you, you can often express yourself through provocations, especially in the domestic environment, with behavior that can be a little more explosive and comes in waves. To maintain the balance of this energy, the ideal is to be always managing possible impulses of anger or resentment, learning to control things like irritability or impatience.

Why such a hurry?

Aries is a Cardinal Fire Sign and having the moon in this placement may mean a fair amount of impetuosity, even if your Sun or Rising Sign is more discreet. For example, people with their Moon in Aries usually have a great deal of internal energy. Thus, the emotional experience of the person tends to gain relevance because it tends to appear more, even when in a more intimate positioning as is the lunar archetype.

You are usually not very careful or calm when you must deal with your own feelings. In fact, new feelings tend to increase your desire for activity, as you have a need to express yourself through actions, without any time to lose. It can be too much for these people to wait for things on a long-term horizon or expect things to happen slowly because their comfort and reward system tends to operate at a faster speed.

You may have an unmistakable streak of independence and tend to face your emotional challenges with an open chest, but even though you may project inner strength, you can undergo very rapid emotional fluctuations.

We can say that, in a certain manner, you eventually get used to problems and confrontations, as this keeps things moving. If you have this positioning, you tend to be easily bored in environments that are very peaceful, especially if your Sun or Rising sign or Mars are in another fire sign. Your homes (especially where you lived as a child) - are often battlegrounds. You are the ones who rule (or, at least, you want to rule), and they are not the most peaceful people on Earth to live with.

Passions and intense desires...

Whoever has the Moon in Aries is prone to have many short-term desires, which can be so powerful that they become more instantaneous needs. In your most intimate relationships, your intentions are clear, without emotional games having to be played. You can be an individual who likes to rule if you do not try to rein in your temper, especially in your youth, when you still do not know how to deal in a wide-ranging and experienced manner with your emotions.

During your many potential emergencies, you may not be so concerned with the needs of others, something that can attract relationship difficulties. Your sometimes explosive temper can also frighten or alienate friends and partners, because as patience is definitely not your strong suit, if things do not go the way you want, you are likely to have temperamental reactions and generally have no middle ground.
