Tips for the Moon Person
It’s important to encourage your partner’s initiative and risk-taking rather than criticizing their boldness. Before emotionally reacting to a situation, pause and reflect on whether your feelings are justified or a knee-jerk response.
Try to keep communication judgment-free and create an environment where you both feel safe to express anything on your minds without repercussions.You should also prioritize clearly asserting your own desires instead of solely meeting your partner’s needs. Don’t expect them to read your mind! If you need more nurturing or affection, directly ask your partner for what you want instead of passively hoping they’ll sense your needs telepathically.
At home, consciously make sure you maintain a calm, relaxed vibe for your shared space. And frequently remind your Mars mate how much you treasure the special bond you share – your words of appreciation will reassure them.
Embracing self-awareness around your moods and motivations coupled with transparent communication will help you fully enjoy the gifts of this apect. Stay attuned to your and your partner’s emotions to keep nurturing this dynamic.
Tips for the Mars Person
You want to work to encourage your partner’s self-confidence by offering positive reinforcement. Before reacting intensely to perceived slights or hurts from your partner, reflect on what vulnerable emotional state they might be coming from rather than taking offense hastily. While continuing to voice your own desires directly, keep in mind that if requests seem truly unreasonable or insensitive after deeper discussion, the mature thing is meeting halfway through compromise.
If you need more passion or excitement from your mate, ask them clearly rather than brooding silently. Also, be sure to plan regular romantic date nights focusing on emotional connection and intimacy rather than just adventure.
Consciously appreciate and vocalize gratitude for the comforting sanctuary your Moon partner selflessly provides for your benefit. To avoid overwhelming them, temper your natural intensity with gentle affection too on a daily basis. Letting your partner know out loud how much you admire them will melt their heart as well.
By intentionally recharging your inner fire through accepting the safe space offered via your Moon partner’s emotional availability, you build essential trust and mutually understand innate needs better over time – cementing your bond for the long haul.
My Experiences Counseling Moon Sextile Mars Synastry Clients
Gemma and Zeke, now married 2 years, first consulted me when they struggled with passionate fights threatening their relationship. Gemma’s Moon formed a Sextile to Zeke’s Mars, initiating intense attraction.
While thrilling at first, neither learned healthy boundaries or communication habits to sustain that dynamic energetically. Through specific coaching on understanding triggers and owning their feelings, they leveraged the strength of Moon Sextile Mars for intimacy instead of volatility. They now thrive happily while maintaining passion.
A recent couple I worked with, Scout and Camille, had this synastry alignment. The receptiveness and emotional safety Camille’s Moon provided made Scout feel freer to develop pioneering ideas through his Mars drive.
With encouragement to actualize his visions, Scout felt endlessly motivated by Camille’s nurturing faith in him. In turn, his assertiveness drew out her artistic talents, gifting them joint success.
Overall, there is strong potential for reciprocal empowerment with this aspect. But realizing the full benefits of this aspects depends on conscious nurturing of the emotional bond it enables. With a mutual understanding of innate needs and thoughtful compromise, a vibrant relationship is achievable within Moon/Mars synastry.
