I got the job — I'm over the moon!

A: They said yes — we got the flat!
B: That's amazing, I'm over the moon for you both!

Fix the pattern

One small grammar move makes it sound right.

Not: I'm over moon for the news.

Say: I'm over the moon about the news.

Keep the fixed phrase 'over the moon' with 'the', and use 'about' for the reason.
