Having a difficult Moon sign can actually make it more difficult to create the relationships you want because you won’t always act consistently to allow that to happen.
Knowing if you have a difficult Moon sign can also help you with your temperament or how you deal with stressful situations.
While it’s healthy to take a little space when you’re feeling irritated or upset, with certain Moon signs, it can also lead to avoidance, which is the opposite of what the Moon naturally wants to do: feel, embrace, open, and express.
If you have a more difficult Moon sign, you may not know how to do these things, which means you have to work harder to be able to do them.
No aspect of astrology sentences you to an unhappy life. However, it is important to know what base you are operating from so that you can do better.
The purpose of astrology is to help you understand your authentic self more deeply so that you can ensure that you are working with the universe to create a life based on it and not against it.
The five most difficult moon signs
1. Moon in Scorpio
Scorpio is a deep-sea sign known for the depth of its emotional capacity. But there is also darkness with Scorpio as it is ruled by Pluto, the Lord of the Underworld.
The Moon in Scorpio tends to keep their emotions bottled up, not expressing much, which ends in a lack of fulfillment or feeling betrayed. Because they tend to keep their true feelings to themselves, they are also more likely to become extreme. Either they love you or they hate you, there is rarely a middle ground.
However, being able to find this middle ground is also part of working with this placement. When they do finally share their feelings, it tends to happen in an aggressive way even if it’s not necessary in the situation, simply because they’re releasing a year’s worth of feelings instead of just what just happened.
Scorpio Moons also have a tendency to obsess over that dark bent, which means they’re more likely to stay hooked on unhealthy relationships or even adopt online stalking as a way to control an ex.
While it’s not all bad news, there is a certain amount of work that this location requires in order to overcome its challenges and use its powers for good rather than evil.
2. Moon in Capricorn
Capricorn is the opposite sign of Cancer which means that here in the house of the Moon, it is in its worst possible position.
Capricorn itself is not a challenging sign, but it is very logical, pragmatic, and success-oriented, which is great for careers but not for relationships. This sign can be very cold towards family, friends and even romantic partners because they just don’t see the point of being emotional.
For a Moon in Capricorn to express her emotions, she needs to see that there will be a bigger payoff or benefit, and if she doesn’t, she just doesn’t have time for it. This means that they can be very dismissive of those in their lives and prioritize things that they feel are a better investment.
Due to their nature of not fully accepting their emotions, they also tend to compartmentalize their feelings, which can then lead to depression. The Capricorn Moon has to understand that feeling emotions is a way of moving forward because he will make sure that what she was working on a year ago is still something he feels connected to now.
3. Virgo Moon
Unfortunately, Virgo is one of the signs that can struggle in any location due to their logical and detail-oriented mindset. Virgo tends to overthink and overanalyze to the point of confusing himself and everyone around him. This is due to his desire to logically organize his emotions so that they make sense.
But feelings and love especially are not logical, so by doing this they will often end friendships or romantic relationships, essentially discussing their feelings because they don’t understand the reason for them.
While Virgo is often referred to as the detail-oriented perfectionist, they are also great healers. Due to this trait, it is not uncommon for them to become involved with unhealthy partners or friends in an effort to try to fix or save them. Of course, the Virgo Moon lesson is to make sure that they take care of themselves as well as others, but this is a lesson that often takes longer to learn. Due to this desire to make sure they take care of others before themselves, they will refuse help and support, even if they desperately need it, because they don’t want to be seen as a nuisance to anyone.
Once Virgo learns healthy boundaries, things can get better for this Moon sign, but it takes time.
4. Aquarius Moon
Aquarius is the least emotional of any of the zodiac signs, or at least they do the best job of not letting their emotions get to them.
This is an air sign that is known for their independence and detachment, even if they are madly in love. When you’re in a relationship, it can seem impossible to know where you stand. They may seem distant or cold despite being completely in love.
Aquarius Moon expresses her love differently than other signs and also always needs to be able to do her own thing. If they feel that a relationship or friendship threatens their freedom, then they will always be the first to end it.
Having any type of relationship with an Aquarius requires that you let them be themselves. The benefit, of course, is that you will get to be that too, but it can mean that you will often have to deal with hurt feelings. Aquarius can be honest to the extreme. They see this as an act of love, but others rarely take it this way. For them, being honest about how they see things is their only option, even if it seems abrasive or harsh. In this way, it must be understood that they do not seek to hurt the feelings of those around them, but rather they cannot stop sharing something that they feel benefits them.
The Moon in Aquarius is the true rebel of the zodiac, which means that being around them will often require you to do the same.
5. Aries Moon
As a fire sign that rules warfare, it’s no surprise that having an Aries Moon Sign is a challenging placement.
Aries Moons tend to keep things to themselves simply because they are trying not to blow up on those around them, but what ends up happening is just that. Because this sign feels emotions so deeply, they are afraid of what others’ reactions will be when they share them, so they rarely do. What ends up coming out is pure anger. Not necessarily anger at a situation, but at themselves because they don’t know how to work with what they have.
The Moon in Aries can also be extremely impulsive and then regret it a minute later. This means that Aries may break up with you today only to call you tomorrow and want to break it off. They can also have an affair and instantly regret it too.
Aries is more comfortable expressing harsh, intense feelings rather than softer, gentler feelings. They can go from zero to sixty pretty quickly and they also tend to speak in loud, annoying tones. They also tend to rely only on themselves, similar to Aquarius in many ways, causing those around them to feel rejected.
A Moon in Aries can feel deeply and overcome these challenges, but expressing her truth is the only way.
