Everybody has experienced disappointments, and they are inevitably accompanied by grief, sadness and melancholy. Wise men say that we should not expect anything from anyone if we don’t want to be disappointed. Therefore, we should have no expectations of life itself either. However, I doubt that there are people who live with no expectations. And it is precisely expectations that are our "ticket" to the valley of disappointment. Hence, everybody knows what it feels like to be disappointed. However, everyone has a way in which they respond and recover from disappointments. There are people who do not suffer from severe emotional trauma – such people grieve for a day or two and go on with their life. Others suffer longer - for a week or a month. There are also people who suffer more deeply from depression and their period of recovery may vary.

We have different ways of overcoming disappointments and today’s article is about this: how we react to disappointments, how deeply they affect us and how we overcome them.

The Moon in our individual horoscope is related to the way in which we react emotionally and instinctively to each situation. The Moon in the individual horoscope is undoubtedly a crucial element. The Moon has enormous significance regarding the real nature of a person – his or her spirit, instincts, emotions, perceptions. The Sun is the giver of life and energy, but we perceive, shape and live our  life via the Moon. It "keeps" our memories. Therefore, when it comes to disappointment, again we have to look at its position in the personal horoscope – the zodiac sign, house in the horoscope, aspects of the planets and other details.

Especially in terms of how quickly one recovers from suffering and disappointments, there is one approach that affects the degree position of the Moon. It makes a difference whether the Moon falls in Aries in the 5-10° degree section or 20-25° section. Astrology believes that each planet has its "age", and always responds in accordance with it, just like people do.

Each sign is divided into five zones:

1) 0-6 ° - if the Moon falls in these degrees, it is at the age of a child. Disappointments are experienced quickly in a typical child-like manner - something else is needed in order to draw the child’s attention and the world becomes beautiful again. These people can forget and fully recover from disappointments.

2) 6-12 ° - if the Moon falls in these degrees, it is at the age of a teenager. Overcoming disappointments may take some time, because attitude to life is becoming more serious. Some traces are left in the memory and sometimes these memories are awakened.

3) 12 to 18 ° - if the Moon falls in these degrees, then it is in the early adulthood period. Disappointments are experienced with a greater intensity and may lead to depressive states, but young people still have the ability to be optimistic in life. Recovery takes time and frustrations are remembered for a long time.

4) 18 to 24 ° - if the Moon falls in these degrees, then it is in the period of maturity - the most difficult age in terms of disappointments and failures. Attitude to life is in a serious stage. Therefore disappointments are hard to overcome and it is sometimes impossible for the person to recover. Such people’s behaviour and lifestyle are deeply affected by disappointments.

5) 24 to 30 ° - if the Moon falls in these degrees, then it is at the age of an old man. Strangely, such people react like a child. They overcome disappointments quickly, and have the ability to forget them and recover fully. The difference is that a child rarely has solid expectations, since they don’t know much about life; therefore disappointments cannot be severe and lead to a collapse. And old people are aware that life should be lived without great expectations, without wasting time on unnecessary drama and depression.

Of course, when the "age" approach is applied, the basic zodiac sign should be taken into consideration. The Moon in the period of "full age" in Aries is different from the Moon in the period of "full age" in Virgo.

Now I will describe what the position of the Moon tells us in terms of disappointments in life. How we react, how deeply they hurt us, how we experience them, what can cause them. I will focus only on the pure position in terms of sign and house. Note that the Moon is not isolated and always interacts with other planets and this may change, to a certain extent, clear meanings. I would remind you that the sign position is a more psychological component, and the house position reflects the actual circumstances and events. The sign tells us how we react to frustration, while the house tells us what causes this frustration. Therefore, you should take into account the information both about the sign and house position - for example, the Moon is in Cancer, or the fifth house.

And before you read the information about the Moon sign, remember:

Always look on the Bright Side of Life!

Moon in Aries or the 1st house

You are usually immune to disappointments, sorrow, depression and sadness. You encounter such things extremely rarely, and when this happens, you think that this is a test for you and your ability to achieve what you wish for. In the case of a failure, you just go on - if this thing did not happen, there is something else that will happen. You have the ability to "burn" in your emotions and thereby recover very quickly. Potential disappointments are mostly related to yourself - your appearance, body and image, your personal events, initiative and actions.

Moon in Taurus or the 2nd house

Disappointments come rarely. However, they are severe and affect you deeply. You usually step slowly towards new things; you are never in a hurry to leave the safe and sound which will never let you down. It takes you a long time to get ready for everything in order to make sure that success is guaranteed. Therefore, failures affect you in a very powerful and deep way. Disappointments remain in your memory forever. Potential disappointments are mostly related to the material side of life, property, finances, family and people who support you.

Moon in Gemini or the 3rd house

For you, the chances of disappointments are more than a few. You have an insatiable hunger for news, information, communication and interaction. And these are things that never end. What seems so promising today will be old when you achieve it tomorrow and the very fact of "oldness" is enough to disappoint you. However, such frustrations are not severe and you quickly overcome them, since every day is a source of new opportunities - new people, new information, new ways of communication. Disappointments are quickly replaced by a new interest in something else. Potential disappointments are mostly related to people with whom you communicate and achievement of knowledge and skills.

Moon in Cancer or the 4th house

Your emotional system is changes extremely quickly compared to other zodiac signs. Your mood changes literally out of the blue. Life offers plenty of disappointments since you have the following attitude: "it is enough to wait for 5 minutes and the happy emotion will pass." You remember everything that has disappointed you. You never shake off this burden, which becomes greater every day. It is very difficult for you to recover from a disappointment; therefore, depression haunts you with every “bad memory”. Potential disappointments are mostly related to the family environment, home, residence, parents.

Moon in Leo or the 5th house

You are rarely struck by disappointments. But even in these situations, you think: “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade”. A failure can never affect you deeply, since eventually even failure gives you the impetus to “star” in a very dramatic way on the stage of life. For you, disappointments are a way to become the centre of attention and make an impression with your interesting life. You are highly persistent and almost nothing from the outside world can shake you. Potential disappointments are mostly related to love, children, personal creativity and creativity in life.

Moon in Virgo or the 6th house

You believe that disappointments result from various deficiencies and personal "defects." When you encounter defects, you become euphoric, since the time has come for you to do what you are best at - repairing, sorting and treating things. Therefore disappointments in life are not a destabilising factor for you, but just the opposite – they are motivating. You are engaged in analysis and details to such an extent that you forget about the disappointment itself - you can see the trees but not the forest. Potential disappointments (which are actually charming for you) are mainly related to lifestyle, work routine, habits, health, and improvements in life.

Moon in Libra or the 7th house

You often face disappointments, since life and the human world itself are unjust and inharmonious; there is a lot of vulgarity and rudeness. However, nothing can affect you deeply, since you can live without making firm decisions, while at the same time keeping your personal balance at all costs. Therefore, you overcome any disappointing situations easily and effortlessly. Potential disappointments are mostly related to interpersonal relationships, intimate and professional partners, public appearances, customers, etc.

Moon in Scorpio or the 8th house

You are affected by the most severe collapses after disappointments, which, however, are rare. But if you fail in something, your life is never the same again. You face the dark and shady side of life and your senses are alert since "dangers lurk around every corner." In this way you actually avoid disappointments because you are very cautious in your expectations and prepared for the worst turn of events. But if collapse happens, despite all your protective equipment, it affects you very deeply and for a long time. Recovery is almost impossible and you remember this collapse until your last breath. Potential disappointments are mostly related to accidents, severe events, power, money and influence over others.

Moon in Sagittarius or the 9th house

You are prone to frequent disappointments, followed by severe collapses. For you, the cases in which you remain deeply disappointed are more frequent compared to any other zodiac signs. You react with a wide open heart to everything, with no armour, your expectations are always far beyond the borders of reality and this is a source of disappointments that affect you seriously - they affect your internal personal faith, your personal "temple." Overcoming disappointments and recovering from them becomes slower and less possible when you grow older. If your faith “dies”, a deep collapse affects you and nothing in the world can pull you out of it. Potential disappointments are mostly related to philosophy, faith, religion, education and teachers.

Moon in Capricorn or the 10th house

You are extremely cautious and careful in every step you take, progressing slowly but surely. When you grow older, you become more mature; therefore your youth may be full of disappointments of all kinds. However, when you are more mature, disappointments affect you less often, since you have learnt to anticipate them and avoid them. Recovery from disappointments is not quick and easy. You always have at least one serious emotional breakdown in your life which no one suspects. You possess Spartan discipline in order to recover completely from any shock and disappointment without any help. Potential disappointments are mostly related to career, social status, achieving goals, climbing the social ladder, etc.

Moon in Aquarius or the 11th house

You almost always stand somewhat outside common problems. The same goes for disappointments. Very often, you do not understand what it means to be disappointed. Your life is based on the principle that everyone is free to be themselves; there are no rules, only independence and freedom. Therefore, you don’t know what this thing called disappointment is. Such situations are very rare for you. Your reaction in such cases is to look at this disappointment, study it, and let it go. Potential disappointments are mostly related to friends, social class, achieving desires, etc.

Moon in Pisces or the 12th house

You perceive everything in life as something completely natural – even disappointments, too. What would life be if you did not touch everything that is offered! In the case of a disappointment, you let it pass through you without any resistance, and then you go on with your life. You are often prone to sacrifices and this fact frequently involves you in situations in which you suffer losses and disappointments. Strangely enough, you avoid disappointments by not allowing them to settle in your soul. You just let them pass through you without affecting you deeply and without leaving any permanent marks. Potential disappointments are mostly related to involvement in a social cause, charity and your ability to live in the world you have created.
