"Moon Trine Neptune: The applicability of this aspect to you is given by its "strength" and "orb" in the header at the beginning of this reading in your own personalized book You and the Universe. You have refined sensibilities, are creative and artistic, and could do well in music, dance, art or film. You also have a powerful imagination, and would do well in writing or the literary field if your Mercury is not afflicted. Your psychic sensitivity is very strong, making you susceptible to the emotions of others around you. An atmosphere of discord or friction will affect your health adversely. You love to dramatize, so be aware of distorting or exaggerating events. Males with this aspect will attract a sensitive, creative and refined partner. You have the potential of positive contact with spiritual realms or forces. Some form of meditation would be helpful and centering."

"Moon opposed Pluto: The unconscious part of you that you reject in yourself and/or project onto others—your "shadow"—becomes activated and illuminated (made more conscious) in your relationships to women and to your mother. You may have started out in life by being fairly cut off from your feelings and tending to keep them at arm’s length. You nevertheless got into other people’s space and personal business, which produced heavy confrontations. Strong evolutionary forces are acting on you, however, to bring about your emotional self-reliance by eliminating external dependencies. Your mother and/or the women you drew to you may have been dominating, controlling individuals who demanded that you conform to a rigid standard of behavior. Then when you refused or failed to meet their expectations, you were either assaulted or else treated with disapproval, silence, or their withholding of feelings."

"You may have strong, unresolved needs or problems that you expect others to meet and solve. When this help is not forthcoming, you may act out as you yourself were treated: by rage or withdrawal. Alternately, the women in your life may support your self-sufficiency, and help you understand the convolutions of your emotionality."

"In general, your relationships with women are profound, intense, and a source of change and personal growth. You can dominate your environment through the very intensity of the energy you broadcast, whether in action or in silence. You need to periodically withdraw and shut down emotionally, however, to replenish your batteries, and to allow your conscious ego to be "re-seeded" by the source of your being. Become sensitive and responsive to your personal cycle and needs for alternating withdrawal and activity."

"Although you are learning to change your instinctive emotional habits and reactions, these patterns are often compulsive. You may know better, but still feel compelled to act in the same manner as before. If you feel powerless to change your patterns even when your intent is to do so, this can repeatedly bring up feelings of anger and self-hatred. It’s important, therefore, that you shed light on the hidden workings of your emotional nature.

One way is by learning to fill your emotional needs yourself, giving you the space to breathe and to feel yourself more tenderly and fully. This could be through sex with a partner or by yourself, as sex is a deep and healing release for you. Another is by a sustained commitment to some intense therapy or counseling that will help you to release any emotional monkey on your back and to see yourself more objectively. Once you accomplish this, the wisdom you gain will be a beacon to others, lighting their darkness as it did your own. Where others may once have been repelled by the intensity of your projected inner turmoil, now they will be drawn magnetically to your healing power."
