Moon square Mars in synastry ( by sign ) PART 1

A couple weeks ago I did something on Moon-Mars aspects in synastry, but today I am going to devote this entire post to Moon square Mars. However, one aspect description does not fit all. Signs are not everything in astrology, but they do matter and help out how the aspect is played out in dynamics.

Remember; a square is when two planets are 90 degrees from each other within 8 degrees. Some people will have a weak 7 degree out of sign Leo moon at 28 degrees and a 5 degree Sagittarius Mars. Or there could be a strong 2 degree out of sign square with 28 Leo Moon and 0 Sag Mars.

5 Taurus moon is a tight square with 5 Aquarius Mars.

So if someone has 25 Leo moon and another person has 6 Scorpio Mars that is NOT a square even though the signs are three apart. You have to look at degrees.

Moon in Aries square Mars in Cancer: Aries moon native is often fiery, full of life, assertive and sometimes has anger tendencies. There is an emotional need to be adventurous and a pioneer spirit. Mars in Cancer shows sexuality and action in an emotional, sensual and caring manner.

There is conflict between the two energies, as sometimes the Moon wants the Mars person to nurture them. The Moon may have some jealous tendencies, but is only moderately so. The Mars person tries to nurture the Moon person, but often not the way the Moon person wants to be nurtured. The Moon person may find the Mars person too soft, or too cautious. Aries Moon may find Cancer Mars too passive in sex. This is especially true if the Moon is the woman and the Cancer Mars is the man. The Aries moon might feel hurt if the Cancer Mars doesn’t feel like having sex.

Sometimes Mars in Cancer will give the cold shoulder or retreat when he/she is angry, and this angers the Moon in Aries native. The Moon in Aries person wants to be upbeat and sometimes negativity from Mars in Cancer can bring them down. If Mars is afflicted, then Mars may become extremely moody or even violent towards the Moon person. ( Even though Mars is in Cancer, a water sign ). Emotions can be very powerful for the Mars person and sometimes this can be displaced on the Moon person who might generally have an upbeat and optimistic attitude.

Look to other aspects as to how this aspect plays out.

Moon in Cancer square Mars in Aries is an easy one. Moon in Cancer wants to be nurtured and cared for. Above all, this person can be dependent on relationships for emotional stability and they like stability of all forms. They can be clingy even to relationships that do not work. There is a maternal factor here, especially if the Moon is the woman. ( Although a Moon in Cancer man has the potential to be a great father and is family oriented ). Mars in Aries is assertive ( sometimes aggressive ), pushy and insensitive at times. Sometimes Mars in Aries steps on toes to get where they want to be.

Moon in Cancer finds Mars in Aries to be rather insensitive to his/her needs. He/she finds the Mars person too self absorbed in his/her own affairs and overly independent. Often, the Moon feels that the Mars person does not need him/her. The Mars person finds the Moon person too emotional and needy, as well as clingy.

Not a match made in Heaven, but it can work out as long as other factors are there. Like a Moon-Jupiter, or a Venus Jupiter, as well as Sun-Moon, or Sun-Mars.

Moon in Taurus square Mars in Leo: This combination is generally not the end of the world. Both Taurus and Leo are fixed signs, though. This means that both natives in this relationship are stubborn to a fault.

Moon in Taurus wants security, both emotional and material. He/she is hardworking, but knows how to play hard as well. The Moon is sensitive but not overtly so. Some people with Moon in Taurus are superficial. Mars in Leo has a go getter attitude and can be arrogant, making himself or herself sound better than what they really are. Mars in Leo may not want to hear the Moon’s advice, or think he/she is better than the Moon.

The biggest issue here is the butting of heads. The Moon might find the Mars native stubborn, unwilling to move, and most of all arrogant and conceited. The Mars may find the Moon as too stuck in his/her ways, or fixated on stability and commitment. Mars might even find the Moon as possessive.

The Moon here might want material security; he/she might want to save money or use their money wisely, but there may be cases where the Mars may want to spend money on himself/herself. Or the Moon might want some nice things, but Mars is unwilling to give it to them. This may be especially true if Moon/Mars overlays in synastry fall into the 2H or 8H.

The biggest problem here is probably compromise. The Mars could be a little less conceited and weigh how their behavior affects the Moon. The two of them can accomplish a lot if they learn to compromise and work together. Two fixed signs together are capable of such; compromise is the key. Anything is possible.

Moon in Leo square Mars in Taurus: Again, another fixed sign duo. ( I am the Moon in Leo female and my boyfriend is the Mars in Taurus male ). Moon in Leo wants praise, attention and love. Moon in Leo males and females need this in order to function well in the world. Mars in Taurus is “slow and steady”, cautious, and slow to show anger. Sometimes they can be described as ‘selfish’ in the material realm, but they are highly sensual. Moon in Leo may appreciate Mars in Taurus ability to work hard and not give up, but gets fed up if they pursue their own goals instead of giving the Moon attention.

Mars might do some things that the Moon sees as insensitive, or uncaring to their needs. Moon in Leo wants attention and adoration, and anything LESS is seen as insensitive. It is easy for the Moon to feel down in the dumps if the Mars person ignores them.

The Moon might see Mars as selfish to her/his needs and/or too cautious. The Moon radiates with enthusiasm and the Mars is more mellow. Leo moons are capable of being mellow and laid back, but sometimes Mars may lack the enthusiasm the Moon wants.

Moon in Gemini square Mars in Virgo: In my own opinion, the mutables are ( sometimes ) easier to handle than the fixed and cardinal signs. Signs matter in this case. Moon in Gemini has an internal need to learn and communicate, even if he/she has a Pisces rising or Cancer rising. Moon in Gemini is not the most affectionate, unless other factors permit, as they like to intellectualize their emotions. Mars in Virgo gets things done; they are slow to get angry and do not like to get angry feeling this is irrational. Virgo Mars is practical and often a workahoulic. There may be OCD tendencies. Mars is perfectionistic; this also includes SEX.

Mars in Virgo is a perfectionist… in sex, work, sports, etc etc. Moon in Gemini is not necessarily a perfectionist, UNLESS other factors are present. Gemini is more of a free spirited sign; always seeing both sides and growing and learning. Sometimes Gemini is unfocused.

That being said, the Moon is likely to get frustrated with the Mars’s perfectionism. Mars can be quite critical towards the Moon. Gemini can be quite cluttered at times, no matter how intelligent he/she is. Clutter bothers the Mars, who is likely to be the one working the hardest around the house. The Moon isn’t the one who cares as much, which bothers the Mars.

In the end, the Moon gets sick of the Mars person criticizing them, or fault-finding. Gemini Moon can handle structure but under their own terms. Virgo Mars thrives on structure. This can create an imbalance between the two of them. Compromise is key; the two of them can come to an intellectual understanding.

Moon in Virgo square Mars in Gemini: ICE MEETS ICE! There is not going to be many lively arguments, but there will be criticism and frustration. This is similar to the description before; Moon in Virgo is a perfectionist. Moon in Virgo does not like showy emotions, so they are very discreet about this. Anxiety is likely with Moon in Virgo. Mars in Gemini has scattered energies; they sometimes lack focus. However, anger may be icy or fiery, depending on how long Mars represses. Gemini represents both sides; it is a dual sign.

Mars hurts the Moon by being unavailable or unreliable. Moon likes reliability and practicality. Sometimes the Mars represents neither as long as other astrological factors permit.

Moon in Virgo is not a showy emotional placement,but they are sensitive. Sometimes Mars may not get emotional cues, ignoring them, thus hurting the Moon. Mars may SAY one thing and do the other, thus hurting Moon even more.

The Mars person finds the Moon person as too anxiety driven; too perfectionistic, and too anal.

Moon in Cancer square Mars in Libra: Moon in Cancer needs stability, emotional and material. Sometimes they can be dependent, often too dependent on partnerships in their lives. They can be very emotional and when afflicted HURT the ones they love most. Mars in Libra doesn’t get angry too easily, but when they do, it isn’t fun. Mars in Libra is generally easy going, creative sexually, and othertimes unreliable.

The Moon wants dependability and reliability. The Mars person may or may not be able to provide this, depending on other factors in his/her chart. Some Libra Mars people are unfaithful, and others are faithful. If the Mars person is unfaithful, then this will very much hurt the Moon person, but he/she will have a difficult time letting go.

The Moon may be hurt when the Mars person wants to socialize, see other people, or go out. The Moon may be happy watching a movie at home or going for a walk in the park. The Moon is rather domestic, or at least internally. You can have a Moon in Cancer career man who is domestic on the inside. Mars in Libra lack of domestics may hurt Cancer. Libra rules marriage and committed relationships, but it doesn’t rule domestics, the home and food.

The Mars finds the Moon too needy, sometimes too paranoid, and other times too moody. Mars doesn’t understand why the Moon might not trust him/her and wants the Moon to have other hobbies.

Moon in Libra square Mars in Cancer: Moon in Libra women may make the perfect wives, at least on the outside. Whether they work outside the home or not, it is likely they will have beautiful homes. Moon in Libra takes pride in his/her home and wants it to look beautiful. ( This can be true for Moon in Leo ). Libra Moon is fair and will see other points of view. They are cooperative and diplomatic. Mars in Cancer is very influenced by his/her emotions, very defensive, and if emotions cloud judgment can be verbally abusive or violent. ( But they often regret it ). On a positive side, Mars in Cancer is motivated by nurturing and providing.

These two can make a good team; they just need to understand each other and learn others ways. ( This can be true for most combinations ). The Moon wants everything to be fair and equal. If the Mars is a man, it is possible he is family oriented and loves being a provider, but he might not help with any house work. The Moon Libra may be hurt if he doesn’t want to help out or provide her any support.

Moon in Libra is quite capable of faithfulness; he/she does want to have fun and see friends. Mars can be defensive in this regard; sometimes saything things they regret or being downright moody/giving the cold shoulder.

However, there is cooperation here. It is likely that there is diplomacy and if there is a strong Mercury, they can talk about their problems.

Moon in Leo square Mars in Scorpio: This is a passionate combination in synastry. Both Leo and Scorpio are passionate; Mars in Scorpio can have a hot/cold attitude as well as a possessive attitude sexually of the Moon. The Moon may very well not be a cheater, but he/she finds it unflattering if the Mars tries to dictate her/his actions. The Moon does NOT want to be controlled, so there is a high possibility of ego battles and control issues.

The Moon Leo wants flattery, companionship, attention and devotion. The Mars is quite capable of this. In fact, the Moon can be possessive himself/herself, so sometimes the Mars can be quite sexy to them at times.

The Moon can be hurt by the hot/cold, jealous and possessive attitude of the Mars. The Moon may love Mars much, but he/she wants to be able to do what he/she wants as well. The Moon is strong willed and will not take orders from the Mars.

The Mars may eventually understand, as he/she matures, that the Moon is not one to be controlled and may even be turned on by this. The two of them can be a powerful couple; they are likely to argue. They are their own match.

Moon in Scorpio square Mars in Leo: Moon in Scorpio is very emotional. They can show this intensely or intensely repress these emotions. They are all about controlling themselves, and sometimes controlling other people. Moon in Scorpio can see right through BS. Mars in Leo has stamina and likes to be proud of his/her actions. There is also a high sex drive.

The two of them are very passionate; there is likely to be a very strong sexual attraction between the two of them. The Moon likes the sex drive of the Mars, and the Mars likes the Moon’s depth and insight.

However, the Moon can see through BS. If they do not last long, the Moon may get sick of the Mars, either by their arrogance or selfishness. ( This is not to say all Mars in Leo people are selfish or arrogant. )

The Moon may want to seek control over the Mars. The Mars doesn’t necessarily want to control the Moon person, but does like to give orders or give advice. The Mars likes to think they are superior than the Moon, but perhaps that might be the Moon’s own perception.

Moon in Virgo square Mars in Sagittarius: The Moon likes structure. The Mars is anything but structured. ( Unless other factors are present ). The Mars is free spirited and has a temper, but is quick to forget. The Mars is blunt, but also has a philosophical bent.

The two can learn from each other. The Mars can learn to be more focused and calm, as well as orderly. The Moon can learn to be more spontaneous and learning to “let go.” The two of them may bond by travelling together, and learning.

The Mars may be a bit too blunt for the Moon. The Moon may find that the Mars’ insults/comebacks lack facts/evidence. The Mars may find the Moon as being too stuffy, anal, or “lacking humor.” The Moon may also see the Mars lack of responsibility/recklessness as unflattering, or hurtful.

The Mars needs more structure to focus their energies. The Moon needs to “let go”, “let loose”, etc etc.

Moon in Sagittarius square Mars in Virgo: My sister is the Moon and her lesbian partner is the Mars. An example of people I know with this placement.. Wrong. Not true.

The Moon is optimistic, upbeat and likes to have fun! There is an enternal need to learn and travel. Sometimes the Moon can be tactles and irresponsible. “Eternal youth.” The Mars is all about responsibility, practicality, logic, details and structure. Sagittarius hates structure! Virgo loves it! ( Unless you’re one of those messy Virgos, that is ).

The Moon wants to be free to do what they wish, but aren’t so anal to get the housework done. The Moon will do it only if it gets really bad. The Mars always has to be busy, doing something and nothing is ever good enough. The Mars is critical of the Moon person at times.

The Moon may get sick of the Mars person being over critical and pessimistic. Sometimes the Moon feels limited by the Mars person. The Mars person feels the need to actively change the Moon person for the “good” ( either their health or habits ). This can be annoying for the Moon person.

*** One negative Moon-Mars aspect will not make your relationship or friendship impossible. You have to look at ALL the aspects; some aspects can help a Moon-Mars aspect.

** Also, I tried to be gender neutral, but obviously these will be modified if I did each as man or woman. I do not have the time to do this.
