Moon · Cardinal fire sign

Moon in Aries

Moon in Aries is where the Moon sat in the zodiac at the moment of birth, the part of a chart read for needs, habits and what feels like home. The Moon stays in a sign for about two and a half days, so about one person in twelve has it in any given sign. Aries is a cardinal fire sign.

Of the 6,194 well-known people in StarMap's dataset, 310 have Moon in Aries for the whole of their birth date. Bill Gates, Jimmy Wales and Steve Jobs are among them. Their commonest Sun signs are Gemini (31), Virgo (29) and Scorpio (29); every Sun sign appears with Moon in Aries. 429 more were born on a day the Moon moved into or out of Aries and are left out, because the hour decides and StarMap has no birth time for them.

What Moon in Aries means

Read for needs, habits and what feels like home. If this is your placement:

You feel fast and forgive fast. Anger comes up quickly and passes just as quickly, and you need physical outlets for feeling. You are soothed by action, not by talking it over.

Your day-to-day needs are simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. Comfort comes from action rather than discussion. You would sooner pace the room or go for a walk than sit with a feeling until it passes on its own.

One placement is one part of a chart; the Sun, the Moon, the rising sign and the planets around them change how it plays out. Draw your whole chart to see the rest.

Positions are computed from each person’s birth date and place with the astronomy-engine ephemeris, checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth data comes from Wikidata; a placement is listed only when it holds for the whole birth date, and a rising sign only with a birth time Astro-Databank records. Readings describe tendencies, for entertainment and self-reflection; StarMap predicts nothing. Every planet in every sign.
