Moon Sextile Mars Synastry

With Moon sextile Mars synastry, Mars’ enthusiasm can uplift the Moon’s feelings. Meanwhile, the Moon can emotionally motivate Mars to take action.

But the Moon is like a guide, not a commander. Instead of telling Mars exactly what to do, the Moon can gently guide Mars’ warrior energy to compassionate outcomes. Without force, the Moon can calm Mars’ inner fire. This is the hidden power of the Moon.

Although Mars wants to protect the Moon, Mars can help the Moon develop their own emotional strength. Mars can encourage the Moon to master their emotions, especially intense emotions like anger, hatred, and jealousy.

Moon Square Mars Synastry

With Moon square Mars synastry, the Moon’s intense emotions can cause Mars to act impulsively. Mars may then threaten the Moon with their anger.

The Moon may see Mars as reckless and insensitive. The Moon tends to approach situations gently, while Mars can be too fiery.

The Moon’s passive tendency can clash with Mars’ desire for directness. Mars can be impatient with the Moon’s unwillingness to take decisive actions.

Moon Trine Mars Synastry

Moon Opposite Mars Synastry

With Moon opposite Mars synastry, the Moon’s mood swings can easily trigger Mars’ impatience. When the Moon gives too much affection, Mars can feel annoyed. When the Moon withholds affection as punishment, Mars can even become angrier.

Mars can be aggressive, while the Moon can be passive-aggressive. With Mars’ impulsive actions paired with the Moon’s unconscious reactions, you may act without much thinking.

This aspect can remind you both to control your anger. Your angry moment is not the moment of decision. Between the stimulus and the response lies a space. In that space is your power to choose wisely.
