I literally just got curious. What signs/placements do you think are more prone to mood swings? I think Moon in Gemini is. Because I have them and it just makes sense, but I haven't really asked other Gemini Moons, so it's just a theory. What do you think?

I think Hard Aspects between the Sun and Moon, or between the Moon and Saturn or Mars would do it. An Afflicted, or other wise debilitated, Moon would as well. I have noticed that with Moon in Gemini, though. A couple Lunar Gemini's I know have been quite susceptible to swings.

I've got to admit, I've got some of the craziest mood swings in the business- you could be onto something with the Gemini Moon theory- But I also think its because I'm a Scorpio-Gemini. Extreme and moody, it's quite a design..

Extreme and moody, it's quite a design.. Ohhh, good point. I've got my Moon opposite Pluto, and Mars and Pluto in Scorpio conjuncting so yeah I would blame Scorpio/Pluto for the strong "from black to white" feelings, Gemini is not that moody (more irritable than moody) so it could be a combination. I do think Gemini Moon is to blame for the sudden abrupt changes though, and even if you don't have Scorpio -or water in general, I'd say- in your chart you may experience mood swings if you have a Gemini Moon, but maybe they won't be as strong? Just theorizing.

You know - this talk about Gemini and mood swings is interesting. It's nice to hear something deviating from the normal talk of "water signs are the ones who have mood swings and it's as simple as that."
It's weird, because Scorpios are supposed to have really intense mood swings, but I (a Scorpio) really don't. Like, yeah, I'm a really emotional person, but it's more like... mood... waves? My feelings usually flow really easily. I find it easy to deal with my emotions, I guess?
I don't know, that might have something to do with my Leo moon, too. Since fire signs have really "impulsive" emotions and get over them easily. And when it's my moon sign I guess it fits it even more. That doesn't mean I can't stay in a mood for a while (I think my sun has the most control), it's just that it's a smooth transition. Another thing I think is kind of Leonine is how I can have sudden jealousy and then get over it quickly.
I think it's worth talking about the air signs and mood swings because I feel like their emotions are harder for them to deal with? That would be a more accurate version of the false stereotype that "air signs are unemotional." It's more like there's just a lot of discord with their emotions, maybe? And I can see air combined with water really causing mood swings, because it's the water that's the depth and turbulence, while the air that's the inconsistency.

I feel like maybe it's a modality thing? Mutable's are prone to swings, Fixed are more stable, etc.

Good question. Perhaps Cardinal Signs are somewhere in the middle? Mutable Signs experience intense mood swings, Fixed Signs are more consistent and steady, and Cardinal Signs are a bit more in the middle ground. They feel the strong emotions and shift more frequently than the Fixed, but not as quickly as the Mutable.

Yeah I think about it the same way! Water signs are the ones who are driven mostly by their emotions, but I think that exactly because of that they have it easier when it's time to deal with those emotions, I mean it's their thing! Air signs are the ones who have the hardest time with emotions, not because they feel more than water signs, but because they just don't get them, they don't understand emotions, it's not logical that they just FEEL. They need a reason to feel,an explanation for those feelings, and water signs don't.
The modality definitely has something to do with it Off the top of my head I would tend to think of it as Fixed: goes from one extreme of emotion to the opposite, but these phases last a really long time. Cardinal: attempts to control emotions and mood swings, goes to extremes when it fails Mutable: really quickly changing emotions.
but I think the element comes first, then you separate each element in modalities. For example, I would say all water signs have it "easier" when dealing with emotions,because they don't need to rationalize them, but at the same time, their emotions are really strong and are the one things that matters the most for water signs. Scorpio is the fixed water sign so they are guided by emotions, and they go through long periods of extremes of emotion, but they don't go nuts trying to understand them, they just feel them intensely. Gemini is a mutable air sign, their emotions change really quickly, and they have no idea how to deal with them other than through logic, or by ignoring them. Now, let's go with Virgo because we didn't talk about earth. I think what happens with earth signs is that since they are more grounded, being realistic or trusting what they can see is more important than emotions. To be honest, I'd say earth signs are most likely to repress emotions than any other element -including air, though Aquarius is a super close second- Virgos emotions fluctuate quickly, because they are mutable but they tend to just simply decide emotions aren't practical, and hide their moods deep inside. What I'm having trouble with is Sagittarius, really. Do Sags have fluctuating moods? I mean, since they are fire they have more explosive emotions, and more upbeat moods in general, but it's hard to tell if they have any swings?

I knew a Sagittarius Sun with an Aries Moon, and he was... strange. Very hard on himself, mostly because he took everything so personally. He told me a story about how he was walking down the street and saw a girl exiting her house on the opposite side of the street. He was very upset that she didn't say hi or wave to him. Even though he was walking at night... with a scarf over his fact, and didn't wave or speak to her. I think that's the Fire Moon - admittedly or not, Fire Moons often lead to an individual who takes eevveerryytthhiinngg personally. I also know a Libra with a Sagittarius Moon (conjunct ascendant) and a Taurus with a Sagittarius Moon (conjunct ascendant). Both of them are actually very moody, from my experience/observations. He bounces from cheerful to pissy surprisingly quickly, and she shifts a little more slowly from cheerful to brooding. I think Sagittarius Moon may be similar to the Gemini Moon, honestly.

My former best friend, whom I still talk to, has a Taurus sun and an Aries moon. She's actually pretty similar to me in a lot of ways, with a Scorpio sun and Leo moon. I've always thought that the primary thing we have in common - though we have a lot in common - is that we can both be pretty self-centered sometimes, get jealous easily, and take things way too personally. Really the only difference between us is that I hide it a lot better. We both really need to be the center of attention in a small group of people, get upset when people don't pay enough attention to us individually. Usually bottle up those feelings, though, and don't talk about them until it's reached the breaking point. As far as that goes in relation to "mood swings," I think the actual feelings of jealousy/anger pass pretty quickly for both of us in the moment... but then we remember them and get mad about them later. Probably has to do with the earth/water suns.

Hmm, I know a Leo with a Sagittarius Moon and Aries rising, fire everywhere. He's pretty much very optimistic and tries to see the bright side of things, seems at ease all the time. BUT I have never seen him when upset, to be honest. I've seen him lacking sleep, which made him a bit moody but that's it. (He has mentioned things like "after break ups I just lay in my own filth" but that's probably just Leo drama lmao). I think Sagittarius Moon can have mood swings but they will probably just deny they are upset? whereas Gemini Moons will just get super irritated and irritating. And what you say about fire Moons taking things personally is really interesting, never thought about that but it's super true. I wouldn't know about Aries and Sag, but it's definitely true with the Leo Moons I know. Two of my best friends have Leo Moons, and they take things very personally, though they react differently. One is a Taurus and, as an example, when you say "I don't like this too much" about something she owns she just insults you right in your face, the other one is a Cancer and whenever someone is upset he thinks they are angry at him, he thinks everyone is angry at him all the time and feels guilty about things he didn't even do.

Hey there, I'm super happy that I just did find your post as I'm in a similar situation. When I met this new guy a few weeks ago we just had an amazing times but suddenly he did change, he was moody and behaving in a strange way but then some days later he was behaving the same way as the time we met. Now I'm really confused and don't know what this means. I might have a look at his houses and I guess talking to him isn't a mistake either Love Joanna
