Moon in Aquarius
The Moon in Aquarius needs to understand its feelings from a little distance. Emotions are observed, named and often set aside for later; the Aquarius Moon is calm in a crisis and awkward at a funeral. Comfort comes from friends, ideas and freedom, and from being unlike the family it came from. The work is to let a feeling be felt before it is explained, and to stay in the room when it gets personal.
In plain words
The Moon stands for your feelings and needs. In Aquarius, that works in an Aquarius way: independent, principled and a little detached. You do it your own way and care about the bigger group.
