The moon in astrology represents our emotional nature, our instincts and inner intuition, as well as our reactions to things. The moon is our more emotional, intuitive, and feminine nature as the moon represents the “mother” and the sun represents the “father.” The moon shows us our emotional development, how we connect with our emotional nature, and how we go about it.
ARIES: Aries moons are filled with so much passion and energy and that’s one of the many great things about this placement. Aries being a cardinal sign, a fire sign, and ruled by mars gives it such an energetic, impulsive, and passionate energy in regards to their emotions and reactions. When they feel things, they feel it on a level others can’t simply understand. When they have opinions and feelings about something, they’re going to stand up for themselves and say something. They can be true warriors when it comes to their own (& even others) passions and feelings about things and that’s why people love and admire you. As “intense” and fiery as this placement can be, there’s also a childlike energy about you guys. Being the first sign of the zodiac, you’re not only leaders but you’re also childlike in the sense that you can go all in without thinking about the consequences. When you are feeling something, you feel it on such a level that when you’re excited, you’re really excited. When you’re mad, you’re pretty mad. Your emotions can kind of be so extreme like a toddlers if not fully matured. Aries moons embody what it means to have spirit and passion about things and I love that so much about you guys.

TAURUS: Taurus moons are the true embodiment of what it means to be a pillow princess. You’re soft, romantic, and have a love of comfort. Taurus being a fixed sign, and earth sign, and ruled by Venus makes this a very sensitive and grounded sign when it comes to the senses, stability, and comfort as a whole. These people are often attracted and sensitive to the senses: smell, taste, touch, sight, and even things they pick up intuitively so it’s important for these people to really express these things with blankets, candles, comfort food, etc because it adds to the luxury of comfort that they seek. Don’t let their romantic nature fool you though because these people are very strong emotionally and in their opinions despite the feminine Venusian energy they embody. They aren’t very big on change and can have a lot of arguments and issues regarding it. It can make them feel emotionally out of control and so it’s important for them to feel balanced and in control. They have a very stubborn streak to them and so don’t be surprised when these people put you in your place, argue, or share their opinions as they are very opinionated and specific in their wants. They seek security in pretty much every way (emotionally, financially, etc) and they can emotionally spiral when they don’t have these things.

GEMINI: Gemini moon individuals are very expressive in their emotional nature. These people can often be very good at expressing their emotions, passions, ideas, and even interests and this expressive nature can even make them great writers or inventors so I’ve noticed just because these people are so quick in emotion that they often need an outlet. With that being said, these people can also easily have a hard time with thoughts always coming to them (especially about problems they me be having) so they can easily get into this mode of disfunction where they need an outlet (just make sure it’s healthy). Their own minds/emotions can drive them crazy sometimes and they can even battle between mind and heart. Gemini moons are such interesting individuals because they’re constantly on to the next thing no matter if it’s their interests, emotions, or their physical activities. As a mutable moon sign, they definitely like change and it’s important for them on an emotional level to have that and to learn and discover new things. I’ve noticed that Gemini moons can either be really bubble and expressive or they can be really moody and almost on the brink of a meltdown because of how thought provoking and mutable this energy is.

CANCER: cancer moon individuals are definitely at home with this placements as cancer is ruled by the moon. Cancer moons embody the essence of being a maternal figure whether they mean to or not. They definitely have a natural caretaker and protective energy to them and I find many cancer moons are great with animals, kids, plants, or just doing something where they feel maternal or can take care of something or someone. Like Taurus moons, cancer moons are very big on home and comfort and these two share a kind of home body energy and likeness and I find cancer moons can easily become emotional eaters or just find “comfort” things when they’re feeling emotional whether it’s retail therapy, watching tv all day, binge eating, etc. they can easily fall into little indulgent behaviors like Taurus moons. Cancer moons are also very intuitive and in touch with their feminine energy and I find they just have this ability to pick up in things especially if it’s changes in their family, friends, and the people they are closest with. This is definitely a highly emotional placement so make sure you’re taking care of yourself first.

LEO: Leo moons tend to embody the essence of passion, romance, and just fun. These people are very fun and energetic in their emotional desires and wants and that’s what makes them so interesting to be around. They’re just so… warm in their emotional nature that they really have this gift of radiating it onto the people around them. Leo moons can easily be drama queens or just a very diva like personality. My sister is a Leo moon actually and she is so fun and motherly but she’s also very big on attention and can even be a bit of a baby when it comes to her emotions in ways where it’s like you are literally fine stop whining lol. Like she is just very dramatic with it and I feel like that’s so leo moon. Leo moons are known to be confident but they can actually be really insecure. Leo is very fixated on appearance and just “ego” and in the place of emotion it can become such a focus that it might turn into insecurity or anxiety. Leo moons are very creative individuals and a lot of the time this is a great placement for artists and musicians because they just have this creative and expressive yet radiant quality and my leo moon sister is actually a really great artist and Leo moons definitely need a creative outlet. When I think of Leo moons I always think of art during the renaissance period with all of the royalty of god images and the rich colors and detail.

VIRGO: Virgo moons are often very critical people when it comes to themselves or even to their tastes, ideas, and the people around them. Virgo moons can drive themselves crazy with how much attention they pay to things whereas others wouldn’t even bother to notice. They just have this amazing ability to see things in ways others can’t and I think that’s what makes them so great but is also one of their biggest faults. The feminine energy of this moon sign definitely gives a nurturing and caring energy to Virgo moon individuals and these are the people that care so much and can do a lot with helping others because they have really big hearts. Virgo being a mutable energy buy also an earth sign can cause a constant need to nitpick and change things about themselves, others, or things they have created and I see this a lot in my step dad who’s a Virgo moon and he’s constantly on time, doing things so routine, and nitpicking when he cooks or does something. Virgo moons can truly drive themselves crazy with the amount of drive they have to fix, fix, and fix even when it doesn’t need to be. On the plus side this can make them very detail oriented and very nurturing.

LIBRA: Libra moons are very big on harmony, equality, and tranquility. They definitely strive for balance and security in their emotions and in their life to the point they can spiral if they don’t have it. The thing about Libra energy is that because it’s the mediator, people are often drawn to it to rant, dump their problems, etc and so Libra moons can easily lose themselves in other people’s problems/needs/demands/etc and so it’s important for them to learn no. They definitely have such a creative, independent, and romantic nature and so it’s really important for them to express through art, music, etc. and to really find an outlet for their frustrations and emotions in healthy ways so that it doesn’t turn into feeling unbalanced and out of control.
🌃✨🌃✨🌃✨🌃✨🌃✨🌃✨🌃✨🌃
SCORPIO: Scorpio moons are definitely very emotional and intuitive in the way they feel. They can easily pick up on emotions, energy, etc. when others can’t and that’s one of the many ways why they are so receptive to feeling emotions on the level that they do. Nobody will quite feel as intensely as a Scorpio moon and that’s the difficulty and the admiration behind them. Being a water sign that’s ruled by Pluto, they can easily transform immensely through their emotions and that can be a major life lesson/experience them overall because anywhere Scorpio or Pluto is, it can create a huge transformation process so it’s important to pay attention to. As a fixed sign, it can hard for Scorpio moons to adjust to change or to really let go of things so it can be hard for them to leave people, change their ways, and stop unhealthy habits if they have any. It can be hard for them to find a new direction and I think that’s why this placement often feels doomed and stuck when they aren’t. It’s a mental and emotional difficult for you. Emotions are often intense. Whatever you’re feeling, you’re feeling it SO much stronger than the people around you and that can be such a difficulty for you. Just know that you’re loved and you’re not alone and you’re not crazy for feeling the way you do.

SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius moons are truly free spirits at heart and that’s why I love you guys so much. Having Sagittarius in the place of moon can create a desire to be free and learn because Sagittarius is a fire sign but they are also mutable so they really have this passionate and energetic spirit and they often put it towards change, adventure, travel, people, and experiences. I think more so than anyone, Sagittarius moons are just looking to have fun. They don’t do well when feeling trapped, tied down, or just overall not having their independence. Sagittarius moons are learners and I feel like this placement has such a desire to learn and experience and that’s why so many people are attracted to you and your energy. I wouldn’t say Sagittarius moons are less emotional but I would say they have a more independent look on things. They are definitely passionate in life and oftentimes live their life to the extreme if possible for them.

CAPRICORN: Capricorn moons are very similar to Taurus moons in the sense that they seek security and comfort in life. They want to be able to not constantly worry about financial issues, job issues, and just overall life issues. They want to feel secure emotionally, financially, mentally, etc. and when they don’t feel in control they can easily spiral and feel lost. As a cardinal sign, Capricorn moons are very initiative, driven, passionate, and heads on in their pursuits while remaining cautious, tactful, and secure. Capricorn moons are often very responsible, many times because from an early age they were expected to be or growing up was pushed on them at a young age and they had to sacrifice a lot of their childhood for whatever responsibilities and I think because of this maturity and nature they have, they can easily play it safe and restrain themselves from doing things they want to do in life. This can bring on a lot of feelings of anxiety, insecurity, and even not feeling like you’ve truly lived because you’re not allowing yourself to. With this behavior, however, is where you hold a lot of your strength and power and to you that’s just another part of having control of your life and the things/people in it and without your power you don’t feel in control.

AQUARIUS: Aquarius moons are definitely rebellious at heart. They can be fun, quirky, different, rebellious, inventive, etc. Having Aquarius in the moon can make for a very…. interesting individual because of how futuristic and strange the sign of Aquarius is. These are the people that are going to be interested in humanitarian issues and the people who are going to feel strongly for the outcasts and the people who are different because they themselves get what it’s like to feel or be different. Aquarius moons have so much power on their strangeness and I love that. Being an air sign, aqua moons can be a bit distant or not as showing in their emotional nature and instead can seem cold or even aloof. Much like Gemini moons, these people don’t like to be put in a box or be labelled. They go their own path and that’s how it’s always going to be. You can’t own or control an Aquarius moon.

PISCES: pisces moons just interest me so much because of how intuitive and imaginative they are. Like I truly feel like after meeting a Pisces moon it’s like you just really double check your originality because of how interesting and quirky they are in the best ways possible. They’re so emotional and they definitely have a strong intuition and I love that. Pisces moons are truly sensitive beings and so imaginative and creative and it’s amazing. Pisces moons are also highly romantic signs as they do have that dreamy and emotional quality to them and I think it’s very important for them to be careful with who they share a connection with because not everyone sees the same thing as Pisces moons and so you guys can kind of not see things for what they truly are.

lower-income people tend to be “hoarders” and richer people are able to do more “minimalist” living spaces. if u don’t have much, you will hold onto any little thing that comes across your way. you got a new tv, but you still keep the old tv because you know things can break. you keep extra boxes of macaroni and cheese lying around because there will be a week when you don’t have money for groceries. you hold onto your stacks of books and clothes for dear life. those are your assets. physical evidence of where your money’s gone. it’s hard to get rid of it. the bare wall is terrifying when you don’t have much.
Fuck. This makes so much sense and explains so much about me. I must have inherited this from my mum.
so I’d normally put this in the tags but it’s kind of a lot so just reblog this from OP to skip my commentary. But I dogsit for a family who is clearly LOADED. Their house is immaculate. High, vaulted ceilings, wood flooring, two chandeliers in one room. These things are fancy, right ?? I really don’t know, anything that isn’t tile or 30 year old carpet seems fancy to me. It also so… bare. Everything is organized perfectly, they have no excess. Their decor is extravagant and yet minimal - it is carefully and precisely executed. Nothing that doesn’t match the aesthetic sits in their living room. I tried to replicate some of it, but it’s just not possible. I have every book I’ve ever owned, my mom keeps papers upon papers, VHSs in a dresser, how do you just get rid of these things when you know you may not have the opportunity to buy them again? How must it feel to live in such orderly quarters where everything is replaceable?
This really locked into my brain when I was reading one of the declutter your space things and it suggested getting rid of duplicate highlighters and pens. /Pens/. It suggested that you needed one or two working pens, so if you had extra you should get rid of them. That was when I realized minimalist living was /innately/ tied to having spare money, because the idea was, of course you just went out and bought the single replacement thing whenever the first thing broke. You obv. Had the time and money to only ever hold what you needed that moment, because you could always buy more later.
there’s a nice article titled “minimalism is just another boring product wealthy people can buy” by Chelsea Fagan which i feel addressed lots of my problems with minimalism, you can read it [here]
