airy-fairy naval-gazing that you should totally partake in

M and I have been discussing moon and rising signs. Previously, I didn't know mine, but was super-curious, about what it was and what it all means. And actually, I didn't really know what moon signs were all about at all, so I didn't even consider. But it's super-cool, guys! Okay, so SUN sign is what you usually tell people you are, based solely on your birthday. It's your soul (I'm quoting from the web snippet m sent me), "your inner personality and potential." Then the MOON sign is "your heart... your emotional core." The RISING SIGN is what you present to the world, or your mask. 

I'm a Pisces fish, with Cancer moon and Sagittarius Rising. This assessment is all very enlightening to me. I'd copy and paste what it all means, but I suspect you'll be less interested in my profile than your own. BUT, for kicks, I will include K.Lo's, because it's just... all so very true. It explains so much. 

K.Lo, in Astrological Terms:

AQUARIUS SUN
You will ascend rapidly into the a captivating spot light. With an appetite for fame, you will make some exceptional power plays. Avoid any signs of an ultimatum as your eccentric genius gets center stage. You will be characteristically unpredictable, and as you live life in the fast lane your social calender will sizzle with exciting activity. 
You are idealistic, with strong likes and dislikes. You are a thinker with strong needs for originality. You also tend to view the world in an unconventional light. You are often determined, cautious, quiet, as well as philosophical. Others often perceive you as refined, pleasant and generous. You have radical ideas that are looked upon as eccentric.

AQUARIUS MOON
Impatient, ambitious, vigorous, stubborn and full of energy. They take their decisions "on a gut level". They are happy, optimistic, and positive and can give impulse to their environment. Mostly they dispose of excellent management qualities and with their ambition and energy they go far. They have a tendency towards impatience and they easily get bored with routine tasks. They permanently seek new challenges and adventures. If they do not succeed the first time, they may react with anger, but then they begin the next project. They easily upset their fellow human beings, because they do not only express their positive feelings immediately and don't let off steam. Sorrow, suffering and anxieties they hide from themselves and from others; they should learn to admit also these feelings and to live them.

ARIES RISING
You are an interesting mix of introspective and outlandish.
Waving your freak flag high, you really do things your own way.

While you may seem distant, you care very deeply for humanity.
You just have no tolerance for fools, slackers, or dullards.

And while you're fairly misanthropic, many are drawn to you.
Innovative and clever, people look to you for new ideas and trends.

What a firecracker! Boy, am I in trouble. As if I didn't already know. 

So, find your MOON and RISING SIGNS, and post them in the comments! We need to screen our readers, clearly, and understand what we're dealing with.

cool stuff. I don't know if you Really wanted to read all of this, but I'll bite and post it. I found it pretty dead on (ignoring the part that seems contradictory to itself)

Waxing Moon
Moon Sign:
Cancer

The receptive Cancer - moons are sensible, friendly and caring human beings. For them emotional security is more important than material safety. Not only as children, but also as adults have they an ample fantasy. Persons who have a cancer - moon or know others who possess one will realize that cancer - moons are even more sensible than other persons born in the sign of the zodiac cancer. They try to hide their inner selves under a hard skin, appearing cool and unfriendly towards others. They are receptive to emotions and external influences so that their moods change rapidly. Domestic cosines and a comfortable home promote their well being substantially. Cancer - moons mother their family and friends with great care. Often they select a profession, where they can benefit of those qualities.


Not sure this one is quite as accurate:
Your Rising Sign is Aries

You're full of energy - and people look to you to get the party started.
Confident and honest, you'll be the one to say what everyone is thinking.

You are easily bored, and you always find unique ways to do things.
You don't just dream it, you do it. And that's why you're so successful.

Too intense for some, often times people are intimidated by you.
But you're usually smart enough to charm them anyway!

I'm a Cancer with a Moon Sign of Scorpio and a Rising Sign of Capricorn. All those interested in the full navel gazing treatment may read all about it at the Jungle.

Oh, I love all of this shit! Analyze away. I'm a Capricorn with a Scorpio Moon and a rising Libra (which is interesting, 'cause I had an astrologer once tell me I had a Virgo rising... huh.) Anyway! All of the Scorpio/Capricorn stuff tends to be such a downer, but I'll leave you with this:

"A total charmer, it's hard for people to say no to you. Irresistable and attractive, you have no shortage of love interests. Totally competitive, you tend to thrive in stressful enviroments. A peaceful soul, you avoid conflict at almost all costs. Sometimes you try too hard to please those around you. But you have a great inner strength that helps you bounce back easily."

Yeah? Maybe?

andria--hey, we're both cancer moon! i feel like that says something. also, for the rising sign, i think i read something about, if there's two possibles that day, you pick the one that best suits you? or maybe that was for the moon.

andrea--it's perfect, i think. :)

now i'm totally hopping over to the jungle to check out the scoop on ash.

thanks for playing along, ladies!

Hmmm. Suspicious. I'm an ARIES Moon Sign - the description matches your AQUARIUS Moon Sign verbatim. I'm shocked that this might not be as scientific as it seems!

I am a SCORPIO moon (my heart), a TAURUS sun (my soul), a TAURUS rising (my facade)... the two former reign in my unruly heart, sometimes.
