Moon in Aquarius

  Altruistic, universal, progressive, original and a lover of freedom, you naturally relate more to groups, movements and to the big picture than to individual personalities, sometimes to the dismay of your partner and children. You are inspired and seldom bound by tradition or domestic ties, for humanity is your family. You not only have an egalitarian and objective perspective of your race, but of yourself as well, allowing you to see your own feelings objectively and dispassionately. Just make sure that you allow yourself to actually feel your feelings, and not strain them through your mind or an idealistic view of what is. To the extent that the following issues are relevant and dealt with, you could make a fine therapist.

You can bring difficult lessons on yourself due to rash and ill-considered actions. And because Aquarius is the most emotionally-fixed of the signs and the Moon rules habit patterns, you have to be careful—or at least aware—of your debilitating habits. Because your emotional nature (Moon) tends to be mental and abstract (Aquarius), you can have a hard time empathizing with others unless you have personal planets in Pisces or Cancer, or Neptune accentuated. Emotions can be cramped and limited in Aquarius, with arthritic conditions possible in later life due to a rigid will and crystallization of feelings (such fixity is mitigated by mutable signs preponderant over fixed signs in your chart, personal planets in Pisces or Cancer, or a strong Neptune; and is reinforced by fixed signs preponderant over mutable signs, Uranus angular or in hard aspect to the Sun, or Sun or Uranus in the fifth house). In a male chart this attracts a stable, fixed mate that can be persuaded but not pushed.

You may have to learn to feel with and in your body, for the tendency with this placement is to identify with the mind and its idealized concepts rather than be informed by the sensations your body creates and receives. And since feeling gives life meaning, passion and direction, without it life becomes meaningless, routine, and directionless. Good ways to wake up to your body are emotional/body therapies (Primal, Reichian), massage, love making, Shamanic De-armoring, anything that draws your attention and conscious-ness into the vehicle you inhabit. Hard aspects from Pluto or Saturn to the Moon can indicate childhood trauma that must be processed to fully inhabit your body.

Moon sextile Mars

Strength = 7/100,  orb = 4.70°/5.0°

  You are a generally lucky person, due perhaps to your good relationships with women and to your sex appeal. There is a harmony between your subconscious feelings and your drive to get things done in the world, so you naturally take others' feelings into consideration when serving your own needs. You find it easy to work with people and tend to pour a lot of energy into those around you. You are courageous, self-confident, have a lot of vitality and energy, and your recuperative powers are strong.

Moon opposed Jupiter

Strength = 51/100,  orb = 7.63°/12°

  You will draw others to you in this life that represent you as you once were in a past lifetime. A tendency to extravagance and arrogance bears examination. Your faith in others is often misplaced, and you should oversee their use of your finances. You're restless in your relationships, and frequently look for greener pastures somewhere else.
