A person with Moon in Aquarius needs to be free of negative emotions such as greed, fear, anger and Jealousy. Emotions which might be deemed selfish and demanding are usually controlled or unacknowledged.

Aquarian principles are concerned with social issues, ethical standards and equality. This means that they are far more concerned about matters that pertain to mankind rather than one individual.

The Moon in Aquarius is emotionally charged with futuristic qualities and instinctively know about social trends before they appear and are nourished by ideas and patterns at work in their environment.

Involvement in the media may suit them as the sign often likes to be where it’s happening, whether its politics, fashion, art or social activism. Aquarius is the sign of humanity and social observer viewing life from a distance. Astrologer Liz Greene describes the air signs/houses as “fly on the wall” types. Air signs need to discuss and view feelings from an intellectual and safe distance. As a rule, they hate confinement and over emotionalism, and prefer to keep it cool.

Family ties and attachments are not as important to them as they are to most people, and in their personal relationships, they insist upon a certain amount of independence and the freedom to pursue friendships with as many people, of both sexes, as they choose, and do not appreciate a jealous or possessive partner.

They feel comfortable in an atmosphere that is open and experimental, and they need verbal and social contact as isolation tends to create anxiety. Moon in Aquarius has a natural friendly, observant and detached manner, and they offer impartial advice, and have a tendency to intellectualize situations. Though if this is taken into personal one-on-one relationships, they can appear cool or emotionless.

Aquarius has a great need for "friends" and they function best in groups that nurture and share the same ideals, opinions and vision. They tend to see what they have in common with people, and frequently encourage others to be aware of the larger picture in any given situation.

Moon in Aquarius would naturally feel open-minded, non judgmental and need to be well-informed about society. Secrecy and non communication would not sit well, and planets placed in Aquarius operate with high standards of decency and integrity and give others space if needed. Sue Tompkins says this placement needs good platonic friendship with women, and that many European men with this Moon are attracted to American women or American culture, because of the USA Moon in Aquarius.

The impulse to be be different from others and not to be pigeon holed is powerful. The individual is inventive and innovative with an instinctive understanding of technology, many people with this Moon have flashes of real genius. The humanitarian in them wants to make the world a better place, and security is found in the world of ideas and spheres that are not touched by the imperfection of reality.
