Who Does Your Moon-Sign Suggest You Are Most Compatible With?
Our Moon-sign is a very fundamental aspect of our character. It describes our instinctive approach to life, our innate way of being and our mode of emotional response. If you have a very different Moon-sign from those around you it can feel isolating and lonely, as though no-one understands you. Taking the time to consider your own needs and how they may differ from those close to you can be an illuminating process. Once you understand the inner workings of your partner, children, parents, friends and colleagues, you may be able to improve your relationships, bolstered by an enriched appreciation of the innate differences of other people from yourself.
There is something very comforting about being around someone whose Moon-sign is innately compatible with yours. Whilst this does not mean you cannot get along with others with very different Moon-energy, if you can construct your life so you have at least some significant others with a similar Moon dynamic, you will increase your overall sense of being understood and nurtured by life and the universe.
One basic rule we might start with is that the Moon in each element is compatible with other people who also have the Moon in that element. For example a Moon in Aries has some innate affinity with others with the Moon in fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius). This gives us four basic groups of compatibility: the others being the Moon in air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), the Moon in earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) and the Moon in water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). But even with these basic 'element' affinities we have to be careful. The Moon in Aries and Leo for example are full of energy and drama, and so two Moon in Aries or a Moon in Aries with a Moon in Leo could represent a clash of egos, with each wanting to take centre stage or be first and best, leading to overall disharmony. Sometimes therefore, despite the innate commonality of the element, it can be helpful to look outside one's element group.
The opposing sign to your Moon-sign can be quite attractive as signs in opposition often have much in common, underneath the obvious surface tension. This however can work better for some pairs than others. For example the Moon in Taurus might get along quite well with Moon in Scorpio, both being strongly fixed and focused on the physical/sexual components of a relationship. Yet Moon in Aries and Moon in Libra are likely to struggle, one taking charge whilst the other gives in and suffers at the hands of unrefined responses and tempestuous scenes.
To some extent the 'rules' of compatibility, in my opinion, have to go right down to each sign. Take the Moon in Aquarius for example, a sign of great detachment and cool logic, denoting someone who is instinctively prone to independence of mind and action and to concern for the wider human family. A Moon in Cancer or Moon in Leo, deeply focused on their subjective responses to life and both highly emotional albeit in slightly different ways, are likely to be quite unfathomable to cerebral Moon in Aquarius. The other air signs will be good matches, as would the Moon in Sagittarius, who understands the need for freedom and a broad vision of life. The Moon in Virgo, with its immense intelligence and rationality, might also fit well yet Moon in Taurus may just be too earthy and concerned with practical matters. The Moon in Scorpio, with its hidden motivations and secret brooding may be a frustration, and the Moon in Pisces too disordered, although Moon in Aquarius may enjoy its universal focus. The Moon in Capricorn could also prove an interesting partner, equally detached in emotional matters but much more pragmatic than the abstract thoughts that swirl in Moon in Aquarius' progressive world.
Each Moon-sign has its own slightly different need in a relationship, and some may stand more variety than others! Ultimately, if we are all aware of whom we really are, we should in theory be able to get along with anyone. Life however, is not always so ideal...
