Talking to the Moon: How to Get Somebody to Change Their Mind

We’ve all got one in our lives: that person we love dearly but for some reason, they just don’t seem to hear us when we talk. If you follow astrology, you probably know that Mercury is the planet of communication, but even more so than that it shows how we process information and how our thought process works. Now, perhaps you and the person that comes to mind have compatible Mercury signs, perhaps you do not, or maybe you don’t even know what the person’s Mercury sign is. The point is that when you want to get a message across to somebody, particularly one of an emotional nature i.e. “this really hurts me when you do that”, “I need this to feel happy”, “you’re not hearing my perspective”, or anything similar to those statements you don’t want to talk to the person’s Mercury.

Mercury is our analytical brain and even when it is in a water sign where it tends to be more emotional, it still is an objective, logical process. If you REALLY want to get a message across to somebody when they just don’t seem to “get it”, you talk to their MOON. Now, I typically don’t advise using astrology (or any other metaphysical practice, for that matter) to pretend to be something we’re not, but in cases of communication, sometimes we absolutely MUST get a message across to somebody and the ONLY way to do that is to phrase it in a way that they can understand. Here is a guide on communication styles that are compatible with each Moon sign. I recommend trying more than one, as other factors in the chart, such as aspects to the Moon, can change the results of using each style.

Fire Moons: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Now, I don’t want the fire Moon people out there feeling like I’m bashing them, because we need fire Moons to inspire us and provide us with a sense of directions. It is imperative, however, that when you want a fire Moon to understand something, you have to make it about them. The fire element responds really well to arguments and ideas formatted in a way that it reminds them of how they do something, how they feel, or how they are affected. They tend to be able to empathize best if you can give them a scenario in which they would feel the same way. Using a fire-based way of talking generally requires a bit of rallying where you present your argument in a way that gives them something to do.

Specifically for:

Aries: Give them an action correlated with your argument. If you want them to do something, tell them EXACTLY what it is you want them to do and why they should do it. Don’t expect them to know any of it, lay it out for them. They instinctively crave direction and do well with open doors. Aries Moons are notoriously hard to get to change directions once they’ve picked something and patience can go a long way since they tend to change paths from time to time. Often times, they’ll spontaneously start following your idea as if was theirs if you give them enough time.

Leo: Appeal to their sense of dignity. Leo wants to feel special, and if you explain how seeing the way you do or acting the way you want them to makes them more magnanimous, they will likely oblige you. They instinctively do not want to be like everyone else or average. Challenging a Leo Moon by saying you know better is the biggest mistake you can make, so if you can lead them to making the decision themselves you’ll save yourself a lot of trouble.

Sagittarius: Ask them why they think things should be done a certain way and challenge them to expand their horizons. Sagittarius moons are likely to feel like they’ve figured life out, but they’re always intrigued by the possibility that they haven’t and if you offer them an expanded view they will likely hear you out. You cannot, however, treat this expansion like it your doing. Sagittarius Moon must connect the dots for itself to feel like it can truly follow the path you’ve presented. Using an analogy so they can make the jump themselves is often very helpful.

Earth Moons: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Now, I don’t want the earth Moon people out there feeling like I’m bashing them, because we need earth Moons to ground us and keep the world running. It is imperative, however, that when you want an earth Moon to understand something, you have to make it about what’s best. The earth element responds really well to arguments and ideas formatted in a way shows them, in practical terms, how something is more reasonable or realistic. They tend to be able to empathize best if you can tell them why, with real-world examples and a plan, why your idea is worth hearing. Using an earth-based way of talking generally requires a bit planning and thinking through the steps of what you’re suggesting so that the earth Moon can take you seriously.

Specifically for:

Taurus: appeal to their sense of materialism and be consistently patient. Taurus Moons are notoriously stubborn when they find something that works for them, and getting them to change their mind is not an easy task. Taurus moons, when they care about you or anything else, want you or it to feel valued and if you explain to them that doing what they’re doing will yield no harvest, they will slowly but surely change. The harvest does not have to be literal food, but if you explain to them that they won’t fill up your “love tank” or get what it is they want by staying stubborn they are capable of immense change.

Virgo: appeal to their sense of order. Virgo Moons like things to be neat and tidy so they may instinctively reject information that has to do with anything other than worldly affairs. If you want a Virgo moon to change its mind, be prepared to give them a list, in order, of your arguments. They respond well to formatted, organized arguments (even about things like emotions and zest for life) so providing them with cause and effect arguments works well.

Capricorn: appeal to their sense of discipline. Capricorn moons are often the tough-love type and are naturally ambitious. Getting these ambition-focused people to hear your point often requires that you explain the benefit of what you’re proposing to the overall bottom line. While not all Capricorn Moons go into business, they often act as if they had, so if you haven’t thought ahead about the consequences of what you’re proposing they don’t want to hear it.

Air Moons: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Now, I don’t want the earth Moon people out there feeling like I’m bashing them, because we need air Moons to keep ideas in circulation. It is imperative, however, that when you want an air Moon to understand something, you have to be very careful how you phrase it. The air element, since it tends to understand emotions by observing them rather than feeling them, responds really well to arguments and ideas formatted in a way shows them what something looks like and why it looks that way. They tend to be able to empathize best if you can tell very concisely and using step-by-step logical descriptions of how an idea takes place. Using an air-based way of talking generally requires a lot of clarifying, so if you want to get your point across to an air Moon, be prepared to make your point multiple times in multiple ways until they can understand it on an intellectual level.

Particularly for:

Gemini: appeal to their sense of curiosity. Gemini Moons are constantly updating their vocabulary, so don’t assume that just because you know what you meant that they do. They need you do not only tell them, using words, how you feel but they also require that you use comparisons. Gemini thrives on information, and while they’re likely to point out differences in any analogy that you use, with enough of them they will likely isolate what it is you are trying to get across to them. Be patient, as Gemini Moons can be infuriatingly full of questions, but it’s just because they want to really truly hear exactly what it is you mean.

Libra: appeal to their sense of balance. Now, of course, many people think that Libra is an empathetic sign, and while it is incredible at observing and figuring out how to blend in, its understanding of other people is still air-based rather than water based. Libra is incredibly sweet and of all the Moon placements is the most likely to want to hear you out if you tell them that they’re not hearing what you’re saying, but they may feign understanding to avoid conflict. To avoid this defense mechanism, ask them how they feel about something and to explain it and they’ll return the favor by listening to you.

Aquarius: appeal to their sense of humanity. Aquarius Moons are objective, but they’re objective in the sense that they think everybody should be included, so they don’t want you to feel left out. If your argument explains what you need to feel included or that your argument has a place in the grand scheme of things, Aquarius Moon is much more likely to hear you out. They may not implement your idea in exactly the way you want them to because of this placement’s natural inventiveness, so you may have to give them a few tries to get it right through trial and error. But, make no mistake, they will continue working until you or your idea has a place.

Water Moons: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Now, I don’t want the water Moon people out there feeling like I’m bashing them, because we need earth Moons give our lives meaning and feeling. It is imperative, however, that when you want a water Moon to understand something, you have to make it about how something feels. The water element responds really well to arguments and ideas formatted in a way shows them why something affects somebody on an emotional level. They tend to be able to empathize best if you can tell why something means as much to you as it does. Using a water-based way of talking generally requires a bit of acting and showing some emotion about a topic so they know you’re serious about what you’re saying.

Particularly for:

Cancer: appeal to their sense of nurturing. Cancer moons are natural mommy-types and want to take care of how you feel. They’re generally care less about what you’re saying but more how you’re saying it. Showing tears of frustration will almost inevitably get Cancer Moon people to at least slow down enough to hear you out and they’ll want to do what they can to help you feel better. They may not be able to understand super logical arguments, but if you can express to them importance they can understand that.

Scorpio: appeal to their sense of healing. Scorpio Moons get a reputation for breaking people down, but their intent isn’t to obliterate somebody; it’s to give them space to rebuild. Because of this, Scorpio Moons may test ideas that come their way in ways meant to elicit a frustrated response from the messenger. Changing the mind of a Scorpio Moon is a long-term goal, as if requires that you show endurance and belief in what you propose to them. Once they see that you’re committed and there is nothing left to break down they can change their mind.

Pisces: appeal to their sense of empathy. Pisces Moons can be frustratingly difficult to get an opinion out of, but as a result their also very non-combative. Pisces Moon will generally give in simply by you asking. The trick is you have to consistently remind them because other people can change their minds too. Pisces Moons really don’t want to upset anyone, so showing them that them not changing their mind or behavior is upsetting to you will almost always elicit a response.

As with anything in astrology, always remember to take the whole chart into account, these descriptions do not account for aspects to the moon or the house the moon is in.

Juno in the Signs & Houses

Juno was the third asteroid to be discovered. Juno is the wife of Jupiter. She has some similarities to Venus, but while Venus sparks that initial attraction, Juno makes the commitment. She sings of soul mates. As she moves through the sky, the face of relationships change, but she still stands for commitment of one kind or another.

Where you find Juno in your chart is where you may meet someone that you will remain with for a long relationship. She covers marriage, fashion and beauty. She is the patron of relationships and true love. Diplomacy is part of her sphere.

She has influence with the weather, flowers, fairness and female genitalia. She also dealt with many of Jupiter’s infidelities and thus has influence over the negative issues of spouse abuse, powerlessness, women’s rights (both positive and negative), rage, inferiority complexes and unfairness. She may also affect issues of denial, betrayal, inequality and of course bitterness.

Juno in Aries

Juno in Aries needs their own autonomy. If they don’t get that in a relationship they may end up with migraines or other physical displays of upset. They tend to be attracted to partners that are aggressive or dominant. While they want their own freedom, they also want a mate who will be an authority figure. They may see their partners as someone to compete with. They like to go adventuring together. They may need to learn how to develop balance in their relationships so both partners can pursue their own needs.

Juno in the 1st House

Juno in the 4th House

The person with Juno in the fourth will be attracted to a marriage partner who is domesticated and attached to the home environment, one who loves to nurture, cook and nest.

Predicting Future Child’s Sign

So I’ve been researching this topic on and off so I thought I’d make a post about it now. Some of the information I write is subject to change, this is just info I’ve gathered and wanted to share with others and let them have their take on it.

So I have discovered that astrology can predict the sign/dominant influence of your future children. Now, the methods of predicting this, I have no idea how well it works or if it works at all, but I think it’s kind of fun to look at and it worked in my family’s charts.

The first method is simply looking at your rising sign and sun sign. It is very common for the person’s children to have their parent’s rising sign as their sun sign and vice versa. For example, my mother is a Sagittarius Rising with an Aquarius sun and my biological father is a Gemini Rising with a Pisces sun. I carried over my mother’s rising sign as my sun sign. My brother carried over my father’s rising sign. I believe this also works with moon signs as well. My brother took my mother’s sun sign as his moon (so he’s a Gemini sun/Aquarius moon). Whether you see this method in your charts/parent’s charts/future children’s charts, you should specifically notice a lot of Conjunctions, Oppositions, and Squares between you and your family members in your inner planets (sun, moon, rising). Hopefully just conjunctions and oppositions because squares usually mean a rough relationship between you and your parents or a not so great childhood.

The next method is looking to the 5th House. The 5th house represents everything you create whether it be something related to art or the children you bring into this world. For predicting one’s children through the 5th house, it is important to look at both parent’s charts to get the full idea. You can look at one chart alone, but it may not paint the whole picture. Look to see if there’s any planets in the 5th house. Zero planets doesn’t mean you are denied children (it’s just not a priority in your life. Keep in mind that stuff can still transit into your 5th house), but having planets in there can help describe what your child will be like. Sun in the 5th House Higher chance of your first born to be male. Possibly a strong Leo or Sun influence to their chart. Strong likelihood of spoiling this child more than the others (if this goes on for their whole childhood they kind of become a “mama’s boy”). The child’s energy will naturally carry over some fiery traits. Moon in the 5th House Higher chance of your first born to be female, lots of children in general if the individual has a water/earth moon sign that isn’t badly aspected. Possibly with a strong Cancer or Lunar influence to their chart. This placement makes for very caring children. The child’s energy will be pretty watery and emotional; maybe even moody at times. Mercury in the 5th House I believe the chance for a male or female child is equal, maybe even a chance for twins, especially if the individual has a lot of Mercurial/Mutable influences in their chart. Possibly a strong Gemini/Mercurial influence to the child’s chart. This will make for a very talkative, charismatic, jack of all trades type child. The child’s overall energy will be very airy/mutable. Venus in the 5th House Higher chance of your first born to be a female. Possibly a strong Venusian or Libra influence to their chart. The child is likely to be quite popular, beautiful, and artistic; all of the elegant traits that come along with Libras. The overall energy is quite feminine and airy. Mars in the 5th House Higher chance of your first born to be a male, if not, you can expect a female child to be very tom boyish. Possibly a strong Mars or Aries influence to the child’s chart. The child will most likely pursue anything sporty or active. The child’s overall energy should be quite fiery and masculine. Jupiter in the 5th House No specific indication whether the first born will be male or female, but it will definitely have a prominent Jupiter or Sagittarius influence to their chart. The child will be very interested in their parent’s spirituality and morals and will learn a lot from their parent. The child will have high philosophical views and view life to its fullest. Saturn in the 5th House No specific indication where the first born will be male or female, however if the individual with this placement decides to have children, it probably won’t be until they are a lot older. That’s where it gets complicated because the people who have a child when they’re older tend to encounter issues with the child whether it be deformities, illnesses, or relationship issues between the parent and the child. So if you have this placement and don’t want children, don’t leave it too long to change your mind. The child will most likely be quite earthy and very disciplined in their younger years. Uranus in the 5th House No specific indication whether the first born will be male or female. The child will most likely have a very strong Aquarian/Uranus influence to their chart. You can expect the typical Aquarian traits in this child; eccentricity, rebellious, freedom fighter, etc. The overall energy the child carries will be airy. Neptune in the 5th House No specific indication whether the first born will be male or female. The child is likely going to have a strong Piscean/Neptune influence in their chart. The child will have a vast imagination and day dream quite a bit. Very sensitive and may even develop some psychic abilities. The overall energy the child carries is watery. Pluto in the 5th House Possibility of either a male or female child with this placement. The child is likely going to have a Scorpio/Pluto influence to their chart. If the child is male, he is likely going to be quite handsome. The child may be secretive or hides their feelings from the parent, especially if the parent’s relationship with the child isn’t strong. The overall energy the child carries is almost a mix of fire and water.

Now I know what you’re thinking, “first child? What about others?” The next part of the method explains how to figure out the second child. When we look to our second, and third, and fourth child, we look a house over. The second child is predicted in the 7th house, third child in the 9th house, and so on. The reading for the planets in the 7th, 9th, 11th, etc are the same as the 5th, but they just correspond to whichever child is next (example; Venus in the 7th house means the second child is likely to be female…).

I this method on my parent’s charts to see if they accurately predicted me and my brother. In my father’s 5th house, he has Pluto. My brother was born a Scorpio rising and Pluto being third most dominant planet in his chart. In my mother’s 7th house, she has Jupiter. I was born a Sagittarius sun dominant. Furthermore, my mother has the moon in the 5th house which lead to her being the dominant guardian of my brother and I (Moon in the 5th house make for good mothers).

Some additional notes I’ve gathered on conceiving children… Bad placements for conceiving children, -Lack of major aspects to the moon in a woman’s chart -Malefic Mars aspects (especially if the person has Pluto in a child bearing house) -Saturn in the 5th house (not impossible, but read above about it) -If Mars is in the 5th house with harsh aspects

Special placements meaning other things, -Neptune and Uranus in a child bearing house (especially 5th) can mean adoption. -If Moon, Mars, and Venus are in duel signs and aspected to Mercury, there will be a high chance of twins. If the planets are in masculine signs, expect male twins. In feminine signs, expect female twins. If a mix of the two, one male, one female. -An individual with a strong, harmonious sun-mars aspect are more likely to have male children. With a strong, harmonious sun-venus aspect, female children.

Might add onto this in the future, but for now, enjoy! If you have any questions let me know.
