Moon-Saturn and the void that is never filled |

Just as we find suffering people in the world, we can identify them symbolically in the zodiac, through the Astrology chart. In my opinion, the aspects that most generate emotional suffering are those disharmonious (square, opposition or conjunction) between Moon and Saturn.

The signs ruled by this luminary and this planet are in opposition on the zodiacal wheel. In practice, it is as follows: the Moon rules Cancer and the house 4: talks about private life, family, home, mother, nutrition, intimate and inner life.

Saturn already rules Capricorn and 10th house: talks about professional life, career, public life and everything that is most exposed in us. Also, it indicates the highest point we want to reach in our lives, how we want to be seen and recognized by the world.

The Moon speaks of containment, Saturn speaks of structure. Saturn is cold and dry. The Moon is welcoming.

People marked by Moon-Saturn feel they didn’t get what they needed from their mother

What usually happens when these two planets come together in disharmony in a Chart is a feeling of emotional emptiness. Moon-Saturn usually believes that he is emotionally autonomous: he does not need anything or anyone, he can do everything himself.

This posture is probably the result of a mother perceived as rigid in childhood, who did not give much space for affection and feelings.

So, the person believes that showing what he feels is a sign of weakness: for him, feelings are not to be felt, but to be managed in a practical way. And everything the Moon shouldn’t be is practical.

With Saturn square, conjunction or opposition to the Moon, the family’s sense of nourishment at an early age was compromised: the person was not nourished with what he needed. Some were not breastfed as a baby: the mother did not have milk, the mother did not have time, or the mother’s milk did not feed the baby. There is a “something” of food for the soul that is missing.

Thus, Moon-Saturn can grow up to become an obese or overweight individual: afraid that he lacks food, he ends up devouring everything he sees in front of him. In the field of affective relationships, Moon-Saturn can also end up wanting to “devour” the other, fearing that he lacks.

And it is precisely your fear that can generate the loss of the other. We can also find an overcompensation: an individual who received very little and who compensates for it by giving a lot, which ends up suffocating the other.

People try to protect themselves from suffering, which ends up creating more emptiness

If there’s one thing Lua-Saturn feels, it’s fear – and guilt! Individuals with disharmonious aspects between the two planets may have had mothers who were very present, but the food for the soul is still lacking.

So, these people can protect themselves emotionally, not letting themselves be touched, not letting them reach their heart, afraid of becoming vulnerable, weakened and, ultimately, afraid of having something they believe they will lose at some point. (the other).

Moon-Saturn did not learn to have, on the contrary, he learned not to have and also to count on lack.

What happens is that this excessive protection of ties does not usually protect you from suffering, loneliness, sadness. There is a void that is never filled, there is something that never arrives, that remains pending.

Generally, this something that is sought in current others does not refer to the person in question, but to a previous other, much older, an other from early childhood, who functioned as a father or mother (usually a mother) for the individual.

Thus, naturally, the void is never filled: what is being sought is not what the current other has to give or needs to give. It’s that other first, from the past.

And those who live with people with this aspect can get the feeling that it is impossible to please them, to make them happy, that nothing is enough, nothing fulfills them. It really is like that, but that is not the fault of the owner of the aspect, much less of those who live with it.

The native does not want to feel this way or make others feel this way. What was lost is in others from the past, in the memory of Lua-Saturn, but it continues to be present, representing itself repeatedly and being projected onto other people.

Do you only remember what went wrong?

Speaking of memory, this is something Moon-Saturn has and a lot of it, but for the bad stuff. These two planets in disharmonious aspect in the Astral Map suggest that the person remembers in detail everything the other didn’t do, didn’t give him, of all the moments when they missed him.

There is a magnifying glass on the harm done to him and no emphasis on the good things he received. The good has always been lesser and is overshadowed by what went wrong with the native, by what they failed to give him.

Moon-Saturn doesn’t have to be like this for the rest of your life. But if the aspect is not consciously worked on, it will not be experienced on another level. Without hard work (Saturn), the situation is not resolved.

Moon-Saturn can learn to interact with other people differently over time (Saturn), can feel more secure in long-standing relationships, can learn (Saturn) from the past (Moon) to build something else on its present and in its future.

There is no need to carry that history on your shoulders, whether good or bad, for your whole life. But Saturn always involves working hard with dedication and facing one’s fears.

To face fear, you have to expose yourself to it.

And often the only way to confront our fears is to expose ourselves to them. Therefore, the quickest and shortest way to overcome fears of bonding, being hurt and being abandoned is precisely exposing yourself to bonds, running the risk of being hurt and abandoned.

The truth is that in life there are no guarantees that these things will not happen. What Moon-Saturn needs to learn to do is to give relationships and people time to reveal themselves, without jumping to definitive conclusions when the first thing doesn’t go as expected. You have to stop looking all the time for evidence that gives you reasons to remain emotionally closed, so that you continue to protect yourself.

One of the positive aspects of Saturn is that he knows how to use past experience as a reference for future events. But Moon-Saturn in disharmony has this distorted capacity, which works against the native: the only past experiences he uses as a reference are the negative ones.

It leaves no room for the possibility that what is new is different, better. And when it does, it demands so much that it doesn’t give a chance to the slightest error, to any flaw or mistake, nor does it give time for the other to settle into the relationship, for it to reach its place, for things to adjust and fall into place. . It has to work right from the start and forever.

Therefore, what Moon-Saturn individuals need to learn is to give way to doubt, fear and downfall. Why, By making room for failure, you also make room for success. Thus, the person begins to live a life like any other human being: with good times and bad, but a whole and full life, not a half life.
