Aries: An Aries moon will tough out there pain, and not open up about it. They try to keep it hidden from others, even if it sometimes explodes out. Some may think they do it because people fear that they are weak, they really do it to appear brave. When they show and feel their emotions (especially related to pain), it’s really intense, and sometimes off putting to other people, so they try and put up a front, but sometimes they eventually snap and lay everything out on the line. They really feel their emotions strongly, even if they don’t want to admit it. An Aries moon will feel their pain very strongly for a while, and then once it’s felt, they can snap back into their normal selves.

Taurus: A Taurus moon never forgets. If you cross them and cause them pain, they will remember it for a long time. So it’s very hard to be forgiven by them once you’ve done something wrong. A Taurus moon is usually very collected, and they don’t have emotional outbursts when they feel hurt. They will try to do something productive to keep their mind off of the pain, they really try to avoid feeling pain. A Taurus moon is very stubborn, and will often not admit when they are hurting (even to themselves). All that can cause a build up of negative emotions, that when finally felt can really get them down. 

Gemini: A Gemini moon will be passive aggressive about their pain. Sometimes they will take their pain out on someone else, or if someone caused them pain they will be cold and cruel to them. One moment they will say that they feel nothing (everything’s fine) and the next their world is crumbling and they feel awful. It takes time for a Gemini moon to process their pain, and to overcome their rationality. It’s hard for them to not be rational, but sometimes being hurt isn’t rational, and a developed Gemini moon can realize this. It takes a lot to make a Gemini moon cry, but when it does happen, they feel embarrassed an want to retreat. 

Cancer: Cancer moons are known for being in touch with their feelings. However, when it comes to pain they are very sensitive. Some may say that they have mood swings, but in reality they are just very sensitive to pain in general, and are empathetic to other’s pain as well. They may hide their pain behind their hard shell and act like nothing bothers them, but on the inside they are soft and falling apart. They really just want someone to listen to them when they feel hurt and to fix whatever is causing the pain. They are very good nurturers, and that includes self-nurturing as well. They learned from a very young age how sensitive to pain they are, so they got really good at dealing with pain as well.

Leo: So it really depends on if they receive pain in a public or private setting. In public, Leo moons will put on a show and stuff their pain away, so that they can continue to appear fine. However, they will remember what happened later and ruminate on it, so they will eventually confront it. If it happens in private there seems to be a theme of dramatics. They feel greatly, and love hard, so when that is compromised their inner world gets shattered. They can cry very loudly at home (or when alone), secretly hoping that someone will hear them and comfort them. It takes a lot for a Leo moon to forgive once their trust is broken, and a lot of pain can come from people they trust the most.

Virgo: Virgo moons try to hide their pain and save face 24/7. They want to pretend that they aren’t sensitive to other people’s actions, because that just wouldn’t make sense to them. In reality a Virgo moon cares a lot and once they experience pain from someone they care about, they will carry a deep hurt within them. When they are alone they can allow themselves to cry, but that usually just ends with them feeling worse about themselves. Sometimes their pain stems from self-esteem issues, and feelings not in control. Virgo moons want to fix other people and their problems, but they often sacrifice their own selves doing so.

Libra: Their relationships with others and the destruction of those said relationships can cause great pain to Libra moons. It’s hard for to hide their pain, but they usually put it off in public. They are an intellectual air sign, but their pain can become overwhelming which often leads to them trying to channel that pain into something else, whether it be poetry, fashion, or even scrolling on tumblr and pinterest to try and forget about everything. Don’t be fooled though, they are usually very rational people. Libra moons love to be social, and they put a lot of effort in their relationships with others. Actually, a lot of their self-worth stems from their relationships. So abuse or maltreatment (being taken advantage of) by someone they care deeply about can be absolutely devastating, and is often the source of their true pain.

Scorpio: Much like Aries, Scorpio moons have an emotional intensity so when a Scorpio moon feels pain it can be a very passionate experience. When they feel like someone has caused them pain, they want revenge, even if it is just a little part of them wanting it (they won’t admit this though). They want the other person to feel what they have felt. A Scorpio moon’s sting is one of the worst to be felt. While these deep emotional people also have very kind hearts, they are not to be trifled with. A Scorpio moon feels their pain profoundly and they don’t usually cry in front of others. When they are alone or in the shower, then they can fully let out their cries, but until then they hold a bold face. They are warriors, and they can deal with a great amount of pain, but they never forget their pain and how it made them who they aim today.

Sagittarius: Finding the good in everything, or at least finding some meaning in a painful experience, is what Sagittarius moons are all about. Yes, they know that everyone will face pain, but they see it from a more philosophical point of view, and try to find at least some point to it all. When there was no point in their pain, they can become despondent and lose their enthusiasm for a little bit. Pain for them is more of a journey. To feel, process, and to find use for it. For example, my sister in law who is a Sag moon channeled her pain and depression into Buddhism. This is not to say that they do not face pain, they do and it can be crushing. They have a horrible occurrence of going from great happiness to great pain, and that can be very confusing for a person. However, Sag moons can draw wisdom from their experiences and even use it to help someone else. 

Capricorn: Ah, here is one of the placements where people hide their pain from others the most. The truth is that this is a true sensitive spot for the moon, and they really feel deeply. However, they have trouble expressing this and until they really trust someone, they will not let anyone else in to see their pain. Often this placement has people who struggle with emotional pain: feeling like they aren’t good enough, like they won’t ever achieve their goals, being melancholy, and more. They usually have a tough skin, and much like Cancer, they are soft on the inside. They put so much responsibility on themselves, that they fall apart when something goes wrong. Or worse, they cannot help or provide for their loved ones. Their pain will linger, and it will stay with them for a long time, and they will often drawback on it in times of depression.

Aquarius: Here’s another tough skin placement. Aquarius moons are incredibly good at hiding their pain, and often they won’t feel much pain from basic insults or minor incidents. If they are close to someone, that’s a whole different story. They put a lot of weight into their loved ones, and when a loved one causes them pain, they immediately retreat heartbroken. Yet, it’s hard to know when an Aquarius moon is in pain because they will disappear and avoid people. In reality, they are alone processing their pain and letting themselves cry without letting another person know they had power over them or that they are sensitive. They tend to over intellectualize things, and that can cause them even more pain. They need to know that everyone is a little sensitive, and that no one will think they are weak if you explain to someone what was hurtful.

Pisces: Here is the sign where people will try to escape their pain, either by drinking, drugs, art, creativity, religion, or some other distracting form. They feel so much and they are hurt very easily. They are often empathetic and often act as the sponges for other people’s hurt. One can almost always tell when a Pisces moon is in pain because it seems to radiate. They sometimes let the wrong people in, and get taken advantage off because of that. Their pain can come from addiction, being taken advantage of, abuse or other mistreatment. They are truly kind people, but when the feel pain it seems to swallow them whole and it’s sometimes a battle to get past it. Pisces can however turn and be cold once they’ve been hurt. It will be a side no one recognized before, and they can turn into very mean people if they’ve been hurt long enough.
