Moon in Aquarius Chief Feature: self-delusion

The negative trait of Moon in Aquarius is self-delusion, simply defined as the act of deluding oneself. In his book „You are not so smart“, David McRaney identifies various lies people tell themselves. And Moon in Pisces people are doing this more than others. Let’s see some common lies: people are likely to accept strange explanations, so that they believe in UFOs, conspiracy theory or populist politicians; people are quicker to conform that they think they are, conformity being a survival instinct we inherited from our ancestors to survive; people are less altruistic that they think, being biologically hardwired to take care of themselves first.

For this reason, people having Moon in Pisces need to connect more to reality. They have to examine their self-beliefs in order to see if they are grounded in reality or fantasy.
