Sun in Aries, Moon in Virgo

You are full of energy, active and independent, and you create best when you have plenty of freedom to act. You start new things easily, while looking at yourself and your surroundings with a very critical eye, weighing every risk and anticipating possible pitfalls. Your decisions are bold, independent, bright and daring. You carry them out meticulously and skillfully, and you can be quite shrewd about it. You are open to change, naturally flexible, and able to adapt to the people around you. You rarely care much about how others react to what you do, yet you notice every little detail in the space around you.

You adapt by analyzing what is happening to you and putting it in order. People trust you because of your boundless enthusiasm and self-confidence. You lead by your own convictions, and you check methodically and consistently that what you asked for gets done. You tend to express your emotions in a dry, rational and restrained way, although now and then your feelings burst out vividly. You are direct and can be quick to clash, and choosing your battles can save you energy. With those close and dear to you, you are very caring.

No one sets a table, serves and looks after everyone better than you, and you have a gift for courtesy and for pleasing people. Your energy always pushes you forward, with the practical result you want firmly in mind. Your thirst for life and action has a thoroughly pragmatic basis. Your actions are decisive, and deep down you want honesty in everything.

Your optimism is contagious and draws people to you. You follow your own path, paying close attention to your health and the health of your loved ones. You are natural and sincere in everything you do, and this sincerity softens your strong will and your forceful side.

You like active rest, with plenty of movement and physical activity. You also relax in your familiar work setting. You take great care to keep your home perfectly clean.

Your love of order can sometimes weigh on your family, and letting a few small things slide can bring more ease at home. You make sure the food you eat is fresh and natural. After a busy day out in the world, you don't slow down at home and simply carry on working, so learning to switch off in the evening is worth some effort. Your big goals are full of the spirit of innovation, freedom and independence, while in everyday matters you are changeable, flexible and critical.

Your conscious choices and your deeper wishes are not always in step.

In a man's chart, this combination gives great energy and a strong will, and he is often drawn to a partner who is intelligent, flexible and practical. In a woman's chart, it brings great changeability, an analytical mind and thrift, and she is drawn to a man who is very active, independent and self-assured, a real fighter.

The Moon in Virgo brings perseverance to your Aries nature. It tempers your fiery side a little, cools your ardor and makes you calmer. You may also find your emotions somewhat held back, since the Sun in Aries asks for open self-expression while the Moon in Virgo restrains your feelings, and giving your feelings a safe place to come out can help keep the balance.
