My mother’s moon is in Taurus. Mine is in Pisces. She needs stability, security and comfort. I need connection for better or worse you know? For us, that made it tough because she was very protected emotionally (square saturn) and I am very open and out there (first house moon conj asc). I could transcend pain. She has a very hard time dealing with pain. It’s hard for me to pin down–this interaction between us. My moon squares Neptune hers squares pluto, there is a disconnect there.

What an interesting post —

I think my mother’s moon is in Pisces and mine is in Gemini on the cusp of Taurus (her sun is in Taurus). My mother was a great listener (I’ve always bee a champion talker ) She always took time to listen to my weepy teenage rants. Even now we talk easily.
My sister is a Cancer moon and she tends to crystalize my mom and how nurturing she was. She was a nurturing mom in the important ways, but she was pretty laissez faire, I thought —
I’m a Gemini moon, as I said, and my Gem sun/Leo moon baby and I jive pretty easily. We both love variety, trying new things, asking and answering questions, doing things like puzzles and word games — my Taurus sun/Cancer moon baby and I have a strong natal bond, I think, but he is not as expressive and runs away from my attempts to talk with him about his day or to lavish him with attention and affection. Leo moon has nooooo qualms about receiving love and attention. In fact, he seems to need it. He lives in a cuddly embrace with me lol Cancer moon was like that as a baby, but he’s very independent now. He’d rather curl into a little shell with me at the end of the day, tell me everything at the designated time, and not talk much the rest of the day It’s kind of interesting –

“We are deeply affected by how “successful” we felt in that first relationship.”

Soooooo true….

My mother is an Aquarius Moon, square Uranus. As for how it relates to my Moon, I share a Uranus/Moon signature (I have Cap Moon sextile 11H Uranus).

Early relationship, hard to say. It’s very complicated. I am the youngest of 4. She was exhausted and had babies in diapers for 7 years straight. She wasn’t mothered by my grandmother, who was an Aquarius.

Now, my mother is more distant than she has ever been in her life. I think part of that is that she can sense something is up with me (I’ve been in therapy for over a year) and is giving me space. Eg. she went overseas recently and called all the other siblings except me.

I don’t mind. I need the space to figure things out. So I’m quite grateful for her Aqua Moon at the moment:)

Wow Satori, what a wonderful post. I feel like I’ve genuinely learned something reading that!

On a personal level, I have leo moon in the sixth, my mum has libra moon which is also possibly in the sixth (if my rectification is correct).

We clashed a lot as kids and there were times I never felt loved enough (oh the leo moon drama). Which I guess explains why I take it so personally now if I don’t get shown enough love in my working environment.

But we do have common ground in that work pushes our buttons.

Oh, I thought I left the above comment in the “dying bitter” thread, hence the commend about the example at the beginning. I guess I kind of combined the two threads in my head to address the connection between the mother and child relationship and the bitterness I’m feeling internally.

Very interesting post;

My mother’s moon is in Cancer, in the 9th house, my brother’s a double Sagittarius, they are very close.
My moon’s in Capricorn, in the 2nd house, my mom is Taurus sun, we get on well despite our opposing moons.
My son has moon in Leo, 8th house, needs lots of love and attention, I feel somewhat undemonstrative being a double-capricorn, not through lack of feeling, but difficulty in expression.

What an interesting post! My mom has a capricorn moon and I have scorpio. She was the first person i would go to when I was feeling overwhelmed with my emotions. She was very grounding for me and gave great practical advice. Sometimes I would get frustrated by what I perceived as her “detached” approach to my emotions. But I now understand her moon better and am really appreciative of it of our differences. My 4th house scorpio is hard to handle- i applaud her lol.
In regards to relating to people with similar moon dynamics as my mother- most of my friends have virgo moons. Now that i think about it most of my SO’s have had earth moons too. My boyfriend has a virgo moon. Interesting.

I do know my Mom’s moon sign, she’s a sag moon with jupiter conjunct(in her 4th house) and opposing her gemini sun/uranus. I also have moon/jupiter and they oppose my cancer sun, so we relate on many levels. Add in that our suns are out of sign conjunct (our moon/jupiter’s are a bit out of range to be out of sign conjunct) and her venus/merc are conjunct my sun in cancer. We have lots in common

Feel sheepish for dumping all that in that comment… Sorry for the mud everyone.

Sassafrass, please don’t feel sheepish. It’s your story and we now have a transiting stellium in Sagittarius so time is right to tell it, perhaps?

My mom is a double Gemini (sun and moon) and her conjunction trines my Aqua moon, falling in my 8th house.

I have an easy time communicating with her and we understand each other’s emotional needs, but our relationship was turbulent at best for a loooooong time! I have a moon-Pluto sig three ways, though, so I guess that’s to be expected to an extent. *laughs* Whatever difficulties we had in the past are over, now, so we’re okay.

cosmickisses2u – Don’t you hate that? My daughter is also a Leo Sun like my mother, but my daughter and I actually have a loving relationship. My mother is also like yours – if the attention is off of her, she will do anything to get it back.

This woman is 69 years old, and actually got jealous of me and my daughter joking around about a 32-year-old guy we all know. We were joking he was going to be my daughter’s new stepfather – joking, mind you. She actually blurted out, “He talked to me first!” We were so stunned, we just looked at each other. I mean, does this old lady actually think the 32-year-old talks to her because he is attracted to her? We can’t even joke about me marrying him (he’s too young for me, even)? It’s grossing me out.
