The first thing that an Aries Moon does when they wake up in the morning is put some podcast of people talking about some intense topic on, turn the volume up to full, and start banging pots and pans together because the kitchen is way too disorganized to think inside of.

After Aries Moon has cleared the counters and put every dish, pan, and utensil away, then they can finally think clearly. Thinking clearly is important to Aries Moon. They wake up with their heads buzzing, ready to journal or just sit in silence focused and bright.

Aries Moon is a very minimal Moon. When there's clutter in the home, when too many objects are out, Aries Moon needs to put it all away before they can think. The Moon placement that likes to focus on one thing at a time, who emotionally identifies with their ambition and goals, despises distraction.

You'll notice that a lot of Aries Moon run very sparse homes. Their spaces are clean. Their refrigerators are too because they're far more willing to just grab a bagel than to cook and clean for the better part of a precious morning. The bedroom of an Aries Moon is quite streamlined for whatever it is that they do in there. They have a few cute items here and there but, really, their philosophy is that the sleeping room just needs one bed and not much else. When in doubt, Aries Moon gets rid of stuff. They don't need to be hanging onto it.

If you don't have that much stuff laying around, then your space is easier to clean. If your space is easier to clean, then you can focus on what matters most.

Of course, a minimal space for a Moon placement that hates boredom like the plague creates a dilemna. Aries Moon does not like a cluttered home but they also hate a quiet one. This Moon placement has no issue with controversial podcasts, heavy metal, or bass beats early in the AM hours. Their routine is centered around "Get up, get your adrenaline flowing, and get down to task." Anything that inhibits this routine (breakfast, getting dressed, email checking) is annoying.

Anything that impedes movement bothers an Aries Moon—unwieldy furniture, random stuff, clutter. Anything that encourages movement thrills an Aries Moon—fast music, dance, and mirrors.

By mid day, Aries Moon is most often out of the house. They're not usually back home until around 11 PM. They weren't planning to go out after work but their friend invited them to a thing and then that turned into another thing so they stayed out far later than they anticipated.

But Aries Moon is not the type to stay out past midnight. When they are out and among friends, they will go through a moment around 10 PM or 11 PM when they suddenly realize that they need to be alone. When that moment comes, you can sometimes see it in their faces. They go from smiley and chatty to stoic and sullen very suddenly. As soon as that need to be alone arises, Aries Moon is gone. They might say goodbye if you are within arm's reach. They might also just leave if saying goodbye is too complicated. It's not personal. They really just gotta go. Right now.

Once home, Aries Moon actually goes to bed rather quickly. They might have a chat with a roommate here and there but, usually, they come home at night with their social battery pretty much drained. They already ate outside (most likely something quick on the go) so they don't need to make a meal at home. So, aside from a greeting there's not that much interaction. Their domestic relationships, as a result, can feel very simple and low drama. They simply don't spend a whole lot of time at home and, if they are, they tend to be moving around while they are at home.

You might be wondering, "Why is it that an Aries Moon, a placement known for its dynamic energy, looking so tired by nightfall? Shouldn't they be up for partying?"

Not always. Aries is the sign of new beginnings. Aries Moon largely prefer the morning when the day feel fresh and new. They don't really like to dwell in the night. They actually exerted a lot of energy in the morning and they started to feel tired by evening, going out only because they got excited about pushed their body a little past that initial feeling of being tired. That's why they ran into their wall and had to be alone very suddenly. That's also why, when the day is starting to come to the end, they tend to just go to bed and fall sleep very fast.

In the morning, Aries Moon rises again. The day before is gone and they're ready for a fresh start. They might punch a punching bag that they've set up in their bedroom a couple times if they feel like any emotions from the day before have lingered in their body. Just to get those final feelings out so that they can truly begin fresh again for the new day ahead. And if that doesn't work, then a loud podcast or music surely will.
