The Moon represents, in astrology, our emotional natures. It is how we feel secure. It is what we need to feel secure. It is behavior. In men's charts, since women are associated with the moon, it reflects his feelings on women. The moon represents our mother and feelings towards our mothers.
Moon-Sun aspects: Please refer to "Sun aspects" blog.
Moon-Mercury aspects: A person who is able to speak about their emotions. They talk about their emotions. Another way this can manifest is someone who intellectualizes their emotions or rationalizes them. Soft aspects indicate someone who is level headed; able to speak of their emotions but remain calm and somewhat detached. More intense or negative aspects indicate someone who may speak too much of their emotions, or intellectualizes their emotions too much.
There is a love of learning; an emotional need to learn. Learning makes these people feel good. Learning makes these people feel secure. Communicating makes these people feel good and secure. They love to communicate, either verbally or in written form.
Enjoys being in the company of women who 1. Talk about their emotions, or talk things out. 2. Are level headed. OR 3. Highly communicative, left brained and logical.
Moon-Mars aspects: These people have a fighting spirit, whether it be for the good or for the bad. They are generally enthusiastic people who can be motivated to fight for some kind of cause. There is generally a temper here, but depending on if there is a stress aspect or not will determine how the anger is released. Trines and sextiles have a temper evoked through emotional situations, but can handle with ease. Oppositions, conj and squares have an intense anger or go from intense periods of moodiness. Can't control their anger; anger comes from nowhere. Stressful aspects create stressful anger situations with these people.
These aspects are also indicative of someone who is resilient and a 'fighter.' They make it through obstacles one after another. True for both the stressful and soft aspects, but the stressful aspects are where the 'fighting' is more pronounced. These people may be activists for women and children. Moon-Mars aspects give a good Feminists or Women's Rights Activist. On the other side it also indicative of someone who fights AGAINST women. In some men's chart this may be someone who takes anger and aggression on women in his life.
Moon-Venus aspects: These people find it easy to express emotional and romantic natures. Whatever the aspect is, there is a need to be romantic, in love or in a partnership. There is a need to relate to people. These are the people who may want to feel "whole" in a relationship and may find it hard to be independent. They are idealists and like to make a situation seem more romantic than it really is. Suckers for love.
Soft aspects are more indicative of someone who is a romanticist and finds it easy to express feelings of love and romance. Their emotional nature and relational nature are in harmony; they express naturally and are in sync. With the conjunction, they are dependent upon one another; exactly the same. Outgoing, sociable. In men, this shows a man who loves women or is fine with his feminine half of his personality. In women, this is a favorable aspect by society; will show a typical woman who is romantic, overly idealistic and not as independent. Unless there are other places in the chart that say otherwise, of course.
Hard aspects will show someone who may be overly dependent upon relationships and love to be happy or secure, which can be annoying to friends and family. This person may have a difficult time breaking free into independence even if they know it to be true. Hard aspects may show someone who has a hard time settling down or finds their romantic and emotional natures are at odds with each other.
Moon-Jupiter aspects: In general, this shows someone who is cheerful and optimistic. Someone who finds security in higher education and philosophy. If you are depressed other people may not believe you because you always sound okay! In fact, you like to look at the bright side of the situation. You are not one to be pessimist. Life never gets you down; you just keep on trying.
This is an indication of a bright and cheery personality. If you are truly depressed, you mask this with a smile. You like to smile.
With both stressful and soft aspects, this is a bad indication of overindulging, especially when you're not feeling so good about yourself, like in food or drink. You may be overly dramatic in emotional displays at times.
Moon-Saturn aspects: Saturn is restriction. Moon is emotions. Yes, follow the logic. You may be one to restrict your emotions. People with Moon-Saturn aspects do not want to burden other people with their emotions. In fact, they believe that emotions are a burden to themselves even. They prefer not to deal with them. Saturn is all about self-discipline. These people see emotional regulation as a form of self discipline. Emotions are unnecessary and project a bad persona onto other people.
For women, because of society, this is not the "best" placement to be feminine. Sure, you are feminine just because you have a vagina, but you're not one who is comfortable with your emotions. You probably feel uncomfortable with the idea of motherhood too. You prefer to be yourself.
If you're a man, you might be seen as too uptight, but people won;t look at you as if you're from another planet , though.
In some people's charts, a square or opposition, or conj, may be indicative of an eating disorder. Especially if the 6H or 8H are involved. Depression may also be here, but the native is not one to be crying. They will more than likely be apathetic and stoic than usual if they are depressed.
Moon-Uranus aspects: Uranus is anything but normal. It is random, strange, and revolutionary. Moon is emotions. Follow the logic. These people are weird, or at least they are on the inside. Their emotional natures are not normal at all; they are the type of people who can be logical and level headed, neglecting their emotions and then one day they might have a nervous fit.
Anxiety is highlighted here. Panic attacks. Uranus is associated with the nervous system. Can be true for soft or hard aspects.
People with Moon-Uranus aspects need to be constantly moving. They have a restless nervous energy.
On the plus side, they are tolerant and open minded, hanging with people of all walks of life. They are independent, quirky and entertaining. Women with these aspects are seen as the true "independent women." They do whatever they want! ( Same can be said for men as well! )
Moon-Neptune aspects: People with these aspects are very dreamy. They have a dreamy and overly idealistic nature to them. Highly sensitive and prone to getting their feelings hurt. Artistic and emotional.
Negative aspects can indicate someone who is an escapist, prone to drugs or alcohol, unrealistic views or feelings on life, overly sensitive and vulnerable.
If soft, the person is a daydreamer and idealistic, but not overtly so. They can turn their creativity into something concrete if there is Saturn present elsewhere in the chart.
Moon-Pluto aspects: Ah, the dreaded Moon-Pluto aspects. In general, these are the people who take no BS. They know fakeness when they see it. These people have intuition that is almost never wrong, even if they do not listen to their intuition. They typically have great insight on things and ideas; they are interested in what makes people tick emotionally.
The conj, opp or square indicates control issues that are deeply imbedded into them. They can turn their emotions off with a switch; there is a power to control with emotions. a need for control. In some people's charts, this is indicative of anorexia or binge eating disorder, since Pluto represents extremes. There could also be paranoia or jealousy issues. There is a strong need to control emotions.
With the soft aspects the need to control is there, but not as prominent. These people find their emotional issues easier to deal with. They are charismatic and penetrating people who still take no BS.
Some men with these aspects might see women as power objects; women whom they can manipulate and control. Some women with this aspect have so much control issues they can not trust anyone and would rather be loners.

Sun aspects
The sun, in astrology, is what most people know. The sun represents the everyday zodiac signs in the paper; it's what everyone knows. The sun! What people do not know about the sun is that it represents one's core personality and ego. Aspects to the sun will modify how someone is truly like their sun sign. Sun squares are likely to indicate issues with self esteem and insecurity.
SUN-MERCURY CONJUNCTION: Most people have this, perhaps the majority. Not everyone has this, but a lot do. Basically, this is not an important aspect and when you want to learn the meaning you see the house/s they are in. This just means that your ego and thinking are aligned. That's all. Again, like I said previously, you see the house/s the planets are in for further explanation.
Sun-Moon aspects: Your ego and emotions go hand in hand. Whether you have a soft aspect or stressful aspect, it is of VITAL importance that you are emotionally stable and secure as well have a good self esteem. If not, you will be insecure and that's not cool. The conjunction is USUALLY, but not always, an indication of someone who has a healthy self esteem. Sextiles and trines are usually the best for Sun-Moon aspects because it is an indication of a strong will, yet not too strong, and emotional resilience. The square is an indication of someone who is either weak emotionally/indecisive/lacks self esteem OR arrogant/insecure. The opposition is someone who has a lot of energy, yet unstable energy. It is an indication of arrogance or someone who is incredibly emotionally unstable at times. The person will need to balance the two together, their emotional nature and their ego. Their ego goes one way and their emotions in the opposite direction. Sun-Moon aspects are good for someone who has a will and will find a way; someone who is emotionally resilient and can get through any emotional situation.
Sun-Venus aspects: People with the conjunction are usually romantic souls, as long as the planets are not in Capricorn or Aquarius ( not to say those signs are not romantic, but they are not in the traditional sense of the word ). This does not make them unrealistic in love; they're just romantic and affectionate. It's easy for them to show affection to ones they love. These people find beauty in assertiveness and confidence. They are confident lovers and want to date confident people. If you lack self esteem, it's a turn off for them. This is both the stressful and soft aspects. The conjunction is obviously the most dynamic of all of them; the opposition will show someone who will need balance. Perhaps they want a confident lover, but are not confident themselves. Trine and sextiles are stable with love; perhaps wanting to start off as friends first and wanting to remain friends/in good relation if they break the love affair off.
Sun-Mars aspects: Women with any Mars-Sun aspect have a "masculine" vibe about them. No, it does not mean they look masculine and fart all the time in public, but they are strong willed and independent. This is either a turn off or a turn on to men, depending on the man. Whether you're a man or a woman with these aspects, you're strong willed, independent, and reliant only on yourself. You're a self starter and it amazes people what you can do on your own. Nothing is out of the way for you; you know who you are, what you want in life, and the drive to get it. The conjunction may be an indication of arrogance, or extreme confidence; someone who likes to be patriarchal and have the last word, even in women. The sextiles and trines are more stable; someone who is assertive but not an asshole. The square is also an asshole aspect, because the person has ego issues and is insecure. Also an indication of bad temper tantrums. The opposition is up, down, and all-around: the person may be motivated one minute and unmotivated the next. Out of control anger might be an issue here; you never know when they will explode. The person with the opposition might be someone who acts arrogant, but really is insecure.
Sun-Jupiter aspects: Ah, what a pleasant person I bet you are! Sun-Jupiter aspects are an indication of good self esteem and in some cases, arrogance or an expanding self esteem. In bad cases, it's an example of self-riotousness. In good cases, this is an indication of someone who is cheerful, confident, fun-loving and generous. The conjunction is an example of someone who is cheerful, confident, fun loving and generous and sometimes to the extreme! But they are not taken advantage of, because they know when to say "no." Some people with the conjunction have good intentions but "forget" they were supposed to do something. Others might have arrogance issues; they're the best and they know it! Trines and sextiles are stable, showing a stable person, who is generally generous and fun to be around. The squares are an indication of a know it all and arrogance. Oppositions show someone who is generous and has their heart in the right place, but may overextend themselves at times. They might say things, but their actions suggest otherwise.
Sun-Saturn aspects: People with these aspects are hardworking and self-disciplined. They are not always the life of the party, but they are a good person to ask for advice or to train you. They are usually not in trouble or out of line and if they ever are, they learn from their mistakes. In negative cases, they might have a lot of self-doubts about themselves, which can be annoying. The conjunction is everything I listed above, but in intensity. The square shows alot of self-doubts, but if the person can gain confidence, they should do fine. The opposition may be similar to the square, but the person will need to balance their ego with their discipline; the person with the opposition might declare they are authority without proper qualifications, or might be overly demanding. Trines and sextiles are usually good; the person is self-disciplined and hardworking, but has the confidence to get things done and keep on going through the game of life.
Sun-Uranus aspects: People with these aspects are individualists, whether they have the soft or the stressful. Indication of highly self-reliant people, who are independent and would rather carve their own way in the world. They like to shock; they do things that make people feel uncomfortable. Stressful aspects are indication that there is a person who does alot of things that make other people feel uncomfortable; they are fiercely independent to the point it creates friction in their lives.
Sun-Neptune aspects: People with these aspects are daydreamers. They are idealists. They are artistic. They are sometimes gullible and indecisive. The conj, square or opposition is someone who daydreams A LOT, but is not always aware of what is going on in the world. This is an indication of someone who is an escapist. Not being able to deal with the real world in a constructive manner is not always healthy; find other outlets if you do not do already. The trines and sextiles are an indication of an idealist but not someone who is out of touch with reality. Surely an interesting person indeed!
Sun-Pluto aspects: These people are charismatic. A lot of politicians have Sun-Pluto aspects. There is something magnetic about these people; they are charming and alluring. They have power, whether it is covert or overt. The square or opp may be someone who is arrogant and/or abuses power; may have control issues. Conjunction can go either way; the person is a healing and transformation agent, or power hungry. The trine and sextile means that the power flows naturally; there is a natural power about them and intensity, but they deal with it constructively. They are charismatic people, but not corrupt.
SUN-MERCURY CONJUNCTION: Most people have this, perhaps the majority. Not everyone has this, but a lot do. Basically, this is not an important aspect and when you want to learn the meaning you see the house/s they are in. This just means that your ego and thinking are aligned. That's all.

BASIC ASTROLOGY: ASPECTS
Sorry I have not written in a long time ( over a month! ) but I was clueless as to what to blog about. Anyway, in this article, I am going to discuss a basic component to astrology, which are the aspects. Without the aspects, astrology is useless and almost meaningless. At least in my opinion. Like the house placements, aspects help modify how your sign is played off in the world.
Aspects are at 8 degrees or less. A tight aspect is within 0-3 degrees. A loose aspect is like 7 or 8 degrees, and some astrologers go with 10 degrees.
THE CONJUNCTION: Is when two planets are 0-8 degrees from each other. BTW, although they are in the same signs MOST OF THE TIME, it is not always the case. Someone can have a Jupiter in Gemini at 0 degrees but Venus in Taurus at 28 degrees, and that is a Venus-Jupiter conjunction. Conjunctions are seen as both stressful and easy aspects. They bring good and bad and generally intense.
THE TRINE: Is when two planets are 0-8 degrees within a 120 degree angle from each other. Trines are generally harmonious, but dynamic. The energies work hand in hand and are not in friction with each other. Examples of a trine is Sun in Sagittarius at 7 degrees and Mars in Aries at 8 degrees. Another example of a trine is Moon in Libra at 2 degrees and Mars in Capricorn at 29 degrees.
THE SEXTILE: Like the trine, the sextile is another harmonious aspect. It is when two planets are 0-8 degrees within a 60 degree angle. It is not as dynamic as the trine. A lot of people consider sextiles to be boring. Everything works hand in hand, but generally less as intense as the trine. Examples of a sextile is Saturn in Capricorn at 9 degrees and Venus in Pisces at 11 degrees.
THE SQUARE: A square is when two planets are within 0-8 degrees within a 90 degree angle. Squares are generally feared. They represent friction, conflict, and obstacles. But the person is stronger when they overcome the square. An example of a square is Mars in Virgo at 22 degrees and Saturn Sagittarius at 26 degrees.
THE OPPOSITION: Within 180 degrees of each other, 0-8’. They can be either good or bad, stressful or fun. The native has two opposing forces in their life; they must learn moderation and to adapt the two equally in their life. Example is Jupiter in Sagittarius 10 degree and Mercury in Gemini at 15 degrees.
THE QUINCUNX: Is when two planets are within 150 degrees of each other, 0-8’. Quincunx is a stressful aspect and is kind of like the square, but it is a MINOR stressful aspect. It is when two energies do NOT understand each other AT ALL and adaptation is required!
There are minor aspects, like the semisextile and sesquiquadrate, and the novile, and all that jazz, but those I listed above are the most important.
