What do you mean by: "then finding other friends..."??? It reads like a sentence/thought that is not completed and could have many meanings...please clarify.

My guy has Pisces Moon in 1st and I notice he gets more calm after he talks with me...Ex. His intensity may be on the 'spunky' side that day and then, it almost seems like he is freaking about something (of which he does not say)!! Almost like he can't seem to ground himself until he hears my voice. Happened this past Monday...I would really like to understand you Moon in 1st house people much better. Please describe these feelings a bit more if you don't mind-Thanks!

I have a Libra Moon in my first house. I notice I have 'cycles' similar to the moon. But, these 'cycles' are emotional in nature. My emotions can be highly changeable. I am not saying I am 'unstable' LOL. I just can vary from day to day from moment to moment. I also notice that around the actual full moon, I feel a bit more emotional than most days...ah, the moontime LOL...

I really need alone time to decompress, but I think that has more to do with me being an energy empath/intuitive. Even with shielding and grounding, I get tired. I think I have a connection to lunar cycles that goes beyond what I can even try to explain with words...LOL.

I think it's good just to honor my needs and to be okay with the idea that they are changeable...

Hope I make sense...

It helps somewhat that the moon is in Aquarius, the sign of independence, which is both fixed and masculine in its expression. Still, I am so utterly exposed to my environment by the placement of the Moon; 10° from the ASC, a singleton in the lower hemisphere of the chart (unless you count Chiron in the 3rd), - that the independence I should like to express is almost smothered by a constant absorbtion of my environment, including the personalities of those immediately present.

A 1st house Moon is, on the other hand, a significant boon, in that it allows me to identify with anyone (also an Aquarian principle), to the extent that I am able to reflect the essence of their true self. My usual Scorpio ego defenses go down, and nothing altogether personal seems much to apply. The personality, then, is almost reduced to the condition of a language, a medium, through which to express a deeper connection. In this sense, and ideally, a 1st house moon can make someone "multi-lingual", so intuitive and sensitive to the subtlest variations in "dialect", while, at the same time, being able to maintain a firm position above and beyond the concerns of "mortal tongues", so to speak.

It is a truly divine power, which can be accessed by the 1st house mooner; when she is willing to relinquish her own personal defenses, there can be no defense against her, so magnetic and secure is her attraction.

It's a ***** .

You hit the nail on the head VTT.

Intense yet confused in my case. Emotionally disorientated a lot of the time. Have to muster all my willpower to keep my identity to the fore if Scorpionic energy is working for me. Or retreat for days as a Pisces to shake off "everyone else" and slowly emerge as myself again.

Like I said, its a ***** . And other people would NEVER get it.

Now imagine that you find yourself talking to a dog like a dog, a child like a child, a girl like a girl, a boy like a boy, a joker like a joker, a conservative like a conservative, a punk like a punk, an artist like an artist, an intellectual like an intellectual, an eccentric like an eccentric...

Now imagine you are talking to Joe Smith as Joe Smith, to John Doe as John Doe, etc,...

Talk about an identity crisis!!
(Sometimes you have to be contrary,
just to be anything at all.)

Time alone is ESSENTIAL.
Time to shed the world;
from your shoulders;
and, like a skin-tight mask,
from your face.

He would also love to eat, and drink,
he's at heart a good person but very hard on himself, and a touch judgemental,

Can you give more details on your 1st House Moon?

posted March 17, 2005 12:18 PM              

For details, what sign is your Moon, what aspects do you have to it, the general kind of thing, you know.

Gemstar - I'd be interested in other peoples' experiences too, and the fact that you seem to care so much is a good sign for the bloke you are with. You sound like you are fairly genuine, or maybe its Gemini curiosity, in which case make sure you want to know for more than superficial reasons as you could do irreperable damage by opening him up and not handling it correctly, but I'm sure you do.

My connection with my man is incredibly deep. As far as opening him up, that is a much slower process...he is Gem Sun with Pisces Moon and Pisces Asc. The vulnerability thing is pretty heavy there and I do tread carefully. Sometimes he likes to paint the world a perfect color but I can 'hear' differently through it all by listening to his voice. I can hear so much...that remains unspoken.

So, this is why my curiosity is intrigued. It is takes more effort to understand his Pisces nature as he tends to hide...or even be unsure himself.

I feel that the moon is an important part of my emotions and in my 9th, it is pretty easy to handle.

The Moon is in the first house. This position indicates that you are strongly influenced by your feelings and moods.

Your awareness of yourself is influenced by your momentary feelings, and this perception is subject to rapid changes of mood and emotion. In time, you will learn to understand why you react as you do to various situations, and then you can begin to change your response patterns and take more control of your life.

Others sense your lack of emotional self-sufficiency and tend to get involved in your personal affairs, even if you try to prevent it. You express your sensitivity through an emotional need to nurture and be nurtured by others. While you would like to have guidance and supervision concerning your goals and objectives, it would be better to achieve your aims independently so that you will not feel obligated to others.

The advantage of this position lies in your ability to sense other people's needs and desires.

In fact, you have a calming effect on people who are under stress, and this makes you ideally suited for working with the public.

I notice cycles similar to the moon too! Drives me insane since the Moon changes signs like every day and a half. My emotions are highly changeable too. I'm more emotional on my lunar returns.

Yes! I need alone time as well. I am a sponge for energy and if it's not a grounding energy that I picked up, well, I need to go "ground" myself.

Damn, HSC, I can totally relate to your first paragraph...probably because my Moon is also in a fixed sign (however feminine), taurus. Yes! Reflecting the essence of the true self of whoever you come across! Indeed! That must be where the identity crisis feeling comes from.

LOL thosa! I said mooners just because my brain couldn't think of anything else.

Hmmm...even environment alone, containing people or not, affects me deeply. Adding people only confuses things more.

posted March 18, 2005 05:46 PM            

I can relate somewhat, but, I bet the fact that your moon is in taurus, a sign very connected to nature/environment, has a lot to do with that.

Well here's some experience that I've had with my moon in 1st house:

I have a very strong intuition, and I always see through people's masks(maybe scorpio on 3rd housecusp + mercury trine pluto also play a role here)

I can feel other people's pain very strongly(if I allow/want myself to do so!), i.e I'm very empathic.

I can often predict things, like if someone is coming to my home, and the person is like 1000 meters away, I think of the person, and the person arrives!(It's almost like having a "spidey-sense").

And I have an extremely strong memory...people say that cancerians mostly remember every bad thing done to them, but I don't just remember the "downs" of my life, I remember practically EVERYTHING! Adressess, names, birthdays, heights, weights, and incidents(ALL SORTS OF INCIDENTS), and I remember places from when I was two years old..like the house we lived in, outside the house, my granny-grampa's house, the car my dad had when I was 2 years old...the cars my uncles had....I can remember music from back then, even lyrics from the music....

So there you have it, my experiences with moon in first house.
