Moon in Aries Struggles
Instant Gratification
Because the Aries moon wants to live in an unrestricted and impulsive way, they can often seek what appears to be “instant gratification” since they want to act on things as soon as the impulse desire comes up.
Lacking Empathy
The Aries moon can struggle when it comes to offering empathy or emotional consolidation to loved ones. Due to their fire moon, these people operate on passion and aggression.
Taking Things Too Personally
When the Aries moon feels hurt, its all-encompassing due to their desire to avoid sensitive emotions. So when they feel even the slightest bit hurt, they take it as an attack on themselves, rather than just a reflection of another person’s self-worth.
Anger And Explosiveness
Channeling their anger calmly is not something that fire signs do! Oftentimes, Aries Moons can be labeled as “explosive” because they will repress their anger until eventually comes out all at once!
Aligning With Values Not Stimulation
The Aries moon can often find themselves chasing whatever sounds like the most fun thing at the current moment and this can leave them to never attain their higher goals in life.
Risk Assessment
As mentioned above, Aries Moons live for the trill. This means they can commonly put themselves in risky situations with no regard for their personal safety. They can go about life as a daredevil but they will feel controlled by their emotions forever.
