Moon in aquarius also, 9th house.
Semi-sextile jupiter.
Sextile N. Node in Aries.
Sextile sun in sag.
Weak square to pluto in scorpio.
I find my moon in aquarius rather difficult. I explained this in another thread having to do with the 7 of swords (it has this correspondence).
I think it gives me the vibe of unemotional too. For example, I'm the LAST person people hug when they feel sad unless they know me extremely well or I am involved in the situation. I think it makes my handle of emotions a little odd too; I just can't...effectively express emotional extremes--I'm at a loss of words sometimes.
Good job posting your moon stats RW. So along with your rather detatched moon by sign, you've got a double dose of Sag working on it as well. Try reading this as getting emotional more about other people's issues than your own, or being very VERY objective and philosophical emotionally. Since the moon is also where we retreat when we are hurt, you'll probably read or write rather than do a lot of hand-wringing to your friends. Also.... find yourself trying to learn from your hurt? That's the Sag in action. The up side here should be that you can change your habits fairly easily (moon is after all our habits and emotional ruts) or can see your habits objectively, which a lot of people can't do. You might also take a lot of pleasure in analyzing your moods and emotions. IMO, the moon is THE most loaded planet in terms of meaning so don't limit your interpretation to emotions. It's also knee-jerk reactions due to it's association with the sub-conscious. Comfort food is also the moon.
My moon is in Geminii, 10th house, sextile saturn, dead-on inconjunct to Chiron, square to my ascendent.
I too love to analyze emotions, but I'm not philosophical about them and find them a bother instead. With that saturn sextile, I generally find them something to sit on rather than express. And rather than holding a friend's hand when they hurt, I'll try to help them figure out why/how and what to do about it. Learn learn. But since the moon is also what we do over and over (and over), I am rather fond of talking, especially when I can tell others what to do (saturn speaking there). Hehehehe. But I'm a good listener too. Had to learn to be that because my mother (moon) was a great talker (Geminii) who could babble endlessly (moon is also our childhood and how we view our mother).
I feel very hurt (moon) when someone challenges my competence (saturn). At work (10th house) I was the momma (moon) to a lot of the junior engineers and listened (geminii) to their woes. Also, my profession (10th house) was dealing with words (geminii). Pretty perfect expression of how and where the moon was used in my life, I think. I'm still thinking about moon inconjunct Chiron because I've only recently taken another look at inconjuncts and have decided they deserve to be treated as almost-major aspects. These days I'm paying way less attention to signs and way more attention to aspects and I'm coming out with much better readings. Recently I picked up a birth defect out of a moon/pluto/mars combo that was right on. I totally would have missed it if I were focused on signs.
Comfort food for me is something salty.
