MOON SQUARE SATURN

This aspect is a seat of inner tensions. The tension of the square gives us motivation. Squares are dynamic aspects that give us the drive to succeed. What begins as an inner problem is overcome or accepted, and then becomes a door to understanding.

It is important to understand that the Moon rules the home and the family. It also rules the emotions, feelings, sensitivities and moods, while Saturn rules stability and responsibility. The Moon is emotional, while Saturn is disciplined and cautious. The Moon rules the mother and Saturn rules the father.

This aspect is a tough one because it is the classic inferiority complex. It can make you suffer from feelings of insecurity and melancholy. There are feelings of discontentment and unhappiness where you see nothing but a bleak outlook. It will take hard work to cover up the lack of self-esteem. Once you have learned to value yourself then your self-confidence will grow.

This can feel like emotional imprisonment where there is an issue with the mother or women in general. There is restriction or limitation coming from Saturn and putting the squeeze on emotions. Men with this placement are probably very reserved, shy and insecure around women. Every time you start to feel some sort of happiness, there is a memory of the past to wash it all away.

This energy is depressing and sad. It feels like a dark cloud is following you around constantly. You may need to see a therapist or maybe you already have seen a therapist at some point. There is a strong possibility that you may be taking some sort of anti-anxiety medication. Since the Moon rules the mother and naturally rules Cancer, this placement can also have a strong martyr-complex or poor-me-syndrome.

You have a serious side with a strong urge to get ahead. This comes from the inferiority complex and striving to make yourself wanted or Loved. Even so, your demeanor is heavy and will find a way to turn moody and depressed. Being temperamental as a child may have caused problems as well. It will take some time but any guilt complex will fall away with maturity. The older you are, the less you will experience such heavy energy simply because you have learned more about yourself.

There is a lot of negativism and insecurity associated with this aspect, but there is also an ability to learn by past bad decisions. You will come to understand yourself and will work harder than most people to improve yourself. You must learn to handle frustration, depression and dissatisfaction. Although determined and apparently ardent in emotional matters, this aspect can be cold when it suits the purpose. Read more in my Astrology Aspects eBook - click the graphic below!
