The Difference Between Aries Sun & Moon...
|
The sun sign is more apparent to others, while the moon sign is felt more on the inside.
This makes an Aries sun a more shallow, outward representation of the sign than the Aries moon, which has more depth and is felt more on the inside. A difference in reactivity and intensity level is seen between the Aries sun and the Aries moon. The Aries sun is much more measured and restrained than the Aries moon. Because the moon represents emotion, an Aries moon can be quite passionate and doesn't mind expressing it. In contrast, the Aries sun tries to remain composed and confident. They prefer to represent their strength as self-evident. They don't always manage to do it, but it's how they prefer to be seen.

Most Aries sun people even stand up straight, and all of them carry themselves with the poise of nobility. Before they utter a single word, their demeanor has already spoken for them.

The Aries moon is not so self-contained, and doesn't try to be. It is restless, impatient, and always ready for battle. Although Aries, as a sign, can be described this way, these characteristics are more obvious and pronounced in the Aries moon than the Aries sun. A constant need for action and challenge defines the moon in Aries person. Like a teapot ready to whistle, the Aries moon is always ready to ignite into impassioned action. The emotional nature of the moon combined with the reactive nature of Aries creates a person who can never sit by and patiently wait for a situation to resolve itself. Furthermore, because the moon seeks security and comfort, and because Aries is always ready for battle, an Aries moon is constantly anticipating and fighting against threats. Many Aries moon people border on being paranoid about whether people are out to get them. There are things they perceive to be threats that other people don't even notice.

The most sensitive planet in the most masculine sign, makes the energy of the Aries moon powerful and it always shines through. Regardless of the sun sign or rising sign, the Aries moon has a fire that burns so brightly, it cannot be hidden or contained behind any sun sign. Even an extremely restrained and fixed Aquarius or Scorpio sun sign can't hold back the expression of an Aries moon.
The Aries sun, on the other hand, can be subdued by certain moon signs like Taurus or Aquarius. Furthermore, the sun is exalted in Aries, which gives it an ease of function in this position. The sun represents our drive to shine. So, Aries' forward-moving nature is a great fit for the sun. Aries sun-sign people seem to be on a constant mission. Because they are always pushing forward like this, they often have a serious tone. Conversely, those with an Aries moon have a lighter tone unless they are stressed. When under pressure, they can also be extremely serious. |
