Lately, it seems like everyone’s been buzzing about emotional needs. You know, those deep-down desires that make our hearts race and our souls yearn. Take, for instance, the characters in "Farewell to My Love," Mai Mai and Li Xingliang. What are their real needs in the relationship? What’s going on in their hearts?
Remember Zhou Yutong from "Flowers Are Red"? Is she genuinely laid-back and free-spirited, or does she have a tough exterior with a soft inside? What are her true emotions in relationships?
Well, the answers to these questions might just be hiding in our birth charts. The position of the moon, its sign, and the aspects it forms can shed light on our most fundamental inner needs. And when it comes to one-on-one relationships, we can use the Mars chart (or "Mars aspect chart") to quickly pinpoint someone’s emotions, thoughts, and needs in the relationship. Just a heads-up: the Mars chart needs to be interpreted alongside the natal chart, not in isolation.
Let’s dive into what the moon’s position in different signs might reveal:
Moon in Aries:
Imagine the moon as a fiery blaze, always eager to protect or conquer. If you have the moon in Aries, you’re likely to feel this intense emotion, wanting to get close to someone. But if the moon’s aspects aren’t great, watch out for selfishness, coldness, or a tendency to put yourself first.
Moon in Taurus:
Think of the moon in Taurus as a stable, secure presence. You want your partner to be the same way. However, if the moon’s aspects are off, you might find yourself becoming possessive and stubborn.
Moon in Gemini:
With the moon in Gemini, you’re like a breeze, light and easygoing. You want to share the small stuff and chat with your partner. But if the moon’s aspects aren’t favorable, you might end up feeling scattered, indecisive, or avoiding the situation altogether.
Moon in Cancer:
Cancer moons are all about that familiar, cozy feeling. You crave your partner’s care and attention. However, if the moon’s aspects are challenging, you might become overly emotional, distant, or defensive.
Moon in Leo:
Leo moons are all about pride and feeling great when you’re with your partner. You want their recognition and admiration. But if the moon’s aspects are difficult, you might come across as domineering, controlling, or self-centered.
Moon in Virgo:
Virgo moons are caring and serious about emotions. You want your partner to put in as much effort as you do. But if the moon’s aspects are off, you might find yourself nitpicking and not giving enough.
Moon in Libra:
Libra moons are all about balance and companionship. You’re willing to support your partner and need their support in return. However, if the moon’s aspects are challenging, you might end up being indecisive, avoiding responsibility, or being non-committal.
Moon in Scorpio:
Scorpio moons are deeply emotional and insecure. You need your partner to choose you firmly and commit. But if the moon’s aspects are difficult, you might struggle with emotional instability, control issues, or resentment.
Moon in Sagittarius:
Sagittarius moons are all about joy and growth. You want to play and learn together. But if the moon’s aspects are off, you might find yourself feeling flighty, irresponsible, or just plain indifferent.
Moon in Capricorn:
Capricorn moons are about determination and realism. You want your partner to provide for you and make commitments. But if the moon’s aspects are challenging, you might become too pragmatic and lack emotional warmth.
Moon in Aquarius:
Aquarius moons are all about spiritual growth and independence. You want to be with someone who understands and supports your individuality. But if the moon’s aspects are off, you might become overly detached, distant, or even resort to coldness.
Moon in Pisces:
Pisces moons are gentle and willing to give everything for love. You want your partner to be understanding and nurturing. However, if the moon’s aspects are challenging, you might end up avoiding, becoming distant, or being irresponsible.
