Moon in Aries
Feelings that arrive fast and leave fast.
What Moon in Aries means
With your Moon in Aries, your emotions are immediate and honest. You feel something and you know it — anger, excitement, impatience — and you usually express it right away. Holding it in feels worse than any argument.
You find comfort in action and independence. When upset, you'd rather do something than talk it through: go for a run, tackle a problem, make a move. You recover quickly and rarely hold grudges. The growth edge is learning that other people may need more time to process than you do.

What Moon represents
Your Moon sign describes your emotional nature — how you feel, what you need to feel safe, and how you react before you've had time to think. If your Sun sign is who you're becoming, your Moon is who you are when you're tired, at home, or with the people closest to you.
