The Difference Between Aquarius Sun & Moon...
The sun sign is more apparent to others, while the moon sign is felt more on the inside. This makes an Aquarius sun a more shallow, outward representation of the sign than the Aquarius moon, which has more depth and is felt more on the inside.

The wise, old grandparent of the zodiac, Aquarius is an evolved sign endowed with wisdom, patience and self-control. Second-to-last in the zodiac, they are very mature with only Pisces coming after them, and they see Pisces as a bit lost and flaky. So, Aquarius holds its head high with confidence in its ideas and opinions like a grandparent who has lived a full life of experiences and learned the lessons that have provided wisdom, patience and clear judgment.
All of the universal signs: Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces, believe they are wiser and have better judgement than all of the other signs. However, Aquarius goes one step further and knows that in order for other people to accept their judgment, it must be delivered in a respectful and considerate manner. Just like a grandparent speaking to a child, Aquarius knows how to speak gently and be patient. Aquarius doesn't make demands or speak harshly. Aquarians are level and polite. Yet, in being this way, Aquarians earn their reputation for being intellectual elitists. Their calm, patient and understanding way combined with the enormous |

self-confidence and dry, air-sign detachment culminates into a person who often comes across as pompous and self-important. This is not Aquarius' intention and it is not how they feel inside, but it is how many people see them.
The difference between the Aquarius sun and moon has to do with the depth of these qualities. With the Aquarius sun, these qualities give them an air of self-confidence, self-control, and patience with a dry detachment that can make them seem a bit rigid and offish. For the most part, this is a surface appearance. It's their personality, but it isn't their emotional self. These qualities are their tools for relating to the world and for navigating through it. They use their self-confidence and detachment to communicate with people and get what they need from the world. Their grandparent-like, evolved nature gives them a personality that is patient and mature. They know how to keep emotion out of their interactions and their decisions because it can muddle things and cloud judgment. They know the best way to get ahead and get what they need is to behave in a way that benefits others as well as themselves. For the Aquarius sun, these qualities are a real, but they more like tools they use rather than an identity they own.

The Aquarius moon, on the other hand, is the real deal! They are these qualities at their core. They feel unemotional, wise, self-controlled and detached at their deepest level. It's as though the Aquarius moon lives in a bubble in the sky. Their bubble shields them from all of the silly, childish emotions of the human condition. From up there in the sky, they have the wisdom that comes from being able to see everything all at once. They look down at all of the "regular" people and know exactly what everyone of them is doing right or wrong, and they are happy to politely explain it to whomever will listen.
The difference between the Aquarius sun and moon is most obvious when they are confronted with an emotional person. The Aquarius moon completely shuns the emotion displayed by the person and avoids it at all costs by dealing with the person on a completely intellectual level. They will patiently provide a wise solution to whatever the problem is and if the solution isn't accepted and the emotion isn't eliminated, they may even declare that the person is being selfish or grandstanding to get attention. If this doesn't quell the emotional display, they will simply change the subject. If that doesn't work, they are left no other choice but to disregard the person completely. The Aquarius moon finds it extremely awkward to relate on an emotional level. They find people who cannot control their emotions to be self-absorbed and immature. The Aquarius sun will also patiently look for an intellectual solution to the person's emotional problem. They will also find the emotional situation created by this person to be awkward, but they don't completely lack the ability to relate on an emotional level. If their initial attempts to quell the emotion don't work, they are able to "go there" emotionally and help the person, which the Aquarius moon simply can't do. Aquarians are steadfast in their opinions and concepts of right and wrong with the Aquarius sun showing this more in their taste for things like fashion or entertainment and the Aquarius moon showing this more in their deeply held beliefs or morals. However, because Aquarians are steadfast and practically immovable in their tastes, opinions and beliefs doesn't mean they are striving to be different or unique. It only means they stand by their beliefs regardless of what everyone thinks. The classic |

description of Aquarians striving to be different is a distortion of the Aquarian desire to stand firmly for their own beliefs and never allow popular opinion or the judgments of others to sway them. It also stems from the Aquarius desire to be recognized for their talents. Granted, sometimes these talents may be kooky or strange, but their aim isn't to be different for the fun of it or to amuse people. The core essence of the sign is to be forever true to itself. Aquarians never waiver from their own perception of right and wrong. They are true to themselves and only themselves. If an Aquarius has an idea that is new and unique, they will defend it and promote it, but they are not trying to be unique for the sake of being unique.
This conviction is experienced on a deeper level in the Aquarius moon than the Aquarius sun. An Aquarius sun will wear the clothes they want to wear and listen to the music they want to hear regardless of any criticism they receive for it. The Aquarius moon is more |
likely to listen to the criticism they receive in these matters and rethink their fashion and entertainment choices. The Aquarius moon, however, will never waiver on its ideas or morals while the Aquarius sun doesn't hold such deeply held beliefs.
