Moon Conjunct Mars

Moon conjunct Mars reacts quickly. Feelings immediately energize the body, producing courage, passion, impatience and a powerful protective instinct.

This person may become angry when vulnerable, especially if they learned that direct displays of hurt were unsafe. They can be fiercely loyal and willing to defend loved ones, but they may also fight battles that nobody officially declared.

Their work is to build a pause between feeling and action. The objective is not permanent calm. It is accurate action.

Moon Trine or Sextile Mars
