The Basics

If your Moon is in Aries, you're likely to have a passionate, impulsive, and independent nature.  You're a natural leader and enjoy taking charge of situations.  Your enthusiasm for starting new projects is contagious and you are probably a better starter than a finisher.

Frequent emotional upheavals due to a fiery temper are possible.  Patience is not your strong suit, and if things don't happen the way you want, you can go off like a bolt of lightning, especially if your Sun is a Fire Sign as well.  

Your tendency is to be spontaneous, temperamental, reckless, and headstrong, all while bucking restraint.

Honest is your policy as you are very direct in thought, action, and speech; you pull no punches, everyone knows how you feel.  You can be bossy if you do not try to control your moods.  You don't like complainers and despise showing any personal weakness or needing support, comfort, or nurturing from others.    

A fair amount of physical activity is necessary to work off those moods you get into once in a while.

Transits to your Moon, especially from the outer planets, greatly affect its expression as well.
