Your Sagittarius sun
On the surface you are Sagittarius: the free-spirited adventurer chasing truth, freedom and the horizon. As a fire sign ruled by Jupiter, you present to the world as optimistic and adventurous.
Your Aries moon
Underneath, though, your moon is in Aries. An Aries moon feels everything fast and hot. Your emotions flare up instantly and burn out just as quickly, so you react in the moment, wear your heart on your sleeve and rarely sulk for long. So while the world meets your Sagittarius face, your private heart has a quick, fiery, expressive emotional core that needs to act on feelings right away.
Sagittarius sun Aries moon: the blend
The interesting tension is between the two: a Sagittarius identity on the outside, an Aries emotional core within. Your Sagittarius drive can pull one way while your Aries feelings pull another, and learning to honour both is the key to feeling whole.
Your fire sun pushes you outward with action, enthusiasm and bold self-expression, while your fire moon needs excitement, freedom and a cause to believe in. Because both are fire signs, your outer life and your inner life pull in the same direction, so you come across as wholehearted and consistent, though you can lack an internal counterweight when that fire energy runs hot.
In terms of modality, you adapt, improvise and bend with whatever life throws at you, while your cardinal moon craves momentum and the feeling of going somewhere.
What you need emotionally: To feel emotionally secure you need independence, action and the freedom to express anger or excitement the second it hits, without being made to bottle it up.
