understanding nature. You relate well to people because of the ease with which you
communicate your feelings. You find it easy to learn new material and you have no
problems retaining what you learn. Your most effective means of learning is by
experiences, not study. At an early age you were taught how important it was to develop
your mind and you are always likely to be interested in doing so. You adapt readily to
change and progress. You may be a little sensitive to criticism because you read more
into circumstances that may exist. Nonetheless, this aspect will make it easy for you to
work and deal with people even when some aspects of the reading suggest otherwise.

the other person to make the first gesture when introduced, and you can put anyone at
ease with your affable ways. You are extremely responsive to friendliness and abhor
rudeness. There is little pretense about you. You act the way you do simply because
you think it is and because of your early training.

passions that are very ardent and demanding, and actions can sometimes be blind to

destructive vindictive facet to the personality results from this aspect.

forming close emotional ties because of the responsibility they bring. Something in your
upbringing or experiences makes it hard for you to admit your feelings. This aspect
doesn't make you reject companionship, but instead you form connections that are not
desirable or for some reason not workable. It may be preferable for you to be
independent for some time until you have learned to understand people and have an
accurate sense of their motives. A high degree of emotionalism and sentimentality must
be understood and overcome before entering into a binding commitment.

volatile nature. It suggests the tendency to become easily upset. You may take matters
entirely too personal and often loose your cool. This aspect makes human relationships

irresponsible decisions on too few facts. You are self-indulgent, and frequently too
indulgent of others, as well. You can be generous to a fault, periodically finding yourself
short of needed funds. Your happy-go-lucky demeanor makes you popular, but not
always stable. Mood swings vacillate between periods of intense enthusiasm and
periods of nonproductive apathy. This is a difficult aspect that requires constant restraint
and effort to gain balance and moderation. This placement has a dampening effect on
any ambitions shown elsewhere in the chart, and must be overcome before success
can be attained.

negativism and insecurity associated with this aspect, but there is also an ability to learn
by mistakes. You understand yourself well, and you work harder than most people to
prove yourself. With this aspect in your chart, you must learn to handle your frustration,
depression and dissatisfaction. Although determined and apparently ardent in emotional
matters, you can be pretty cold when it suits your purposes. Little of a personal nature is
allowed to interfere with the main stream of your intentions.

Frequent upsets and changes in circumstances, may be the order of your life. Your hairtrigger temper can fly whenever, even toward those close to you. This aspect denotes
much emotional tension. As you mature, this aspect may mark you as an advanced
thinker, but one likely to remain a law unto self. Tact is something you have to learn to fit

criticisms can make life difficult at times.
Moon square Neptune

separating fact and fiction. You may be artistic talent, but reality and imagination often
blur. You try to adjust reality to fit your emotional view of the matter. When this is not

persecuted by your responsibilities at home or at work. You may try to escape or reject
them. There is a need to examine situations intellectually instead of emotionally, and
then to make fair and firm judgments. There is a naive charm to your character. Yet your
impractical approach to problems can impede your progress until you get your feet more
firmly planted on the ground.

nature. There are some difficulties in relationships because of it. Emotional

don't impose to many limits. This aspect shows a lack of interest in material matters.

relationships. Optimism marks your approach to life, and matters work out well for you.
Even when they don't, at least you had good intentions. You are never coarse or vulgar,
and people who display such traits offend you. Your judgment is good, but you don't try
to override other people's opinion. Unless your chart is a very difficult one, you are
rarely, if ever, negative. Artistic talents are often present with this aspect.

understanding that personal effort and patience are the ingredients necessary for long-

range achievements. You may not develop a large circle of friends unless other
ingredients in your chart suggest a social attitude. Yet those friends you do make are
very durable and lasting. Personal dignity and a sense of responsibility are very strong
in your outlook and in your actions.

and experiences gave you an inquiring mind. You're mentally alert and able to absorb
knowledge easily. You relate well to people because you listen well and appreciate the
opinions of others. You hold your own in an argument because you are always well
armed with the facts. You're not exactly a rebel to authority, but you never hesitate to

learned from your past, yet you're anything but old-fashioned. Your colorful expression
is original and spontaneously imaginative.

making. You have a keen psychic sensitivity, and you express your creativity in
prophetic or intuitive ways; you are in tune spiritually. This aspect often gives a love of
the arts, especially music. You may dramatize life, and exaggerate and distort events.

handle emotional problems in your life. This aspect provides you the talent to improve
domestic and business matters by uncluttering your life. You're able to relinquish old
emotional habits. You know your capabilities and you know your limits. You can neither
be forced into doing what you don't wish to do, nor deterred from gaining your intended
objectives. You are well respected because of your character and your ability to hold
important issues in confidence when this is required of you. You have much energy
which is well regulated and controlled.
Moon opposed Mercury
The Moon and Mercury in opposition suggests that it's hard to bring emotions and
reason into balance. Issues are clouded by concern over trivialities, and emotional
response often wins over common sense. Conversely, cold logic sometimes overcomes
due concern for the individual. In either case, you find it hard to integrate feelings and
thinking. It's hard to predict your conclusions on any particular issue. Occasionally, you
become nervous and emotionally troubled. When this aspect is active by transit, you

may be easily irritated and argue at the slightest provocation. This is not necessarily
your normal mode of response.
Moon opposed Venus
The opposition between the Moon and Venus shows a degree of conflict in relationships
no matter how hard you try to please. And you do try hard to please. You may be
generous in your praise of others, but somehow your sincerity is called into question.
You may become emotionally over-sensitive, and make special efforts to avoid
disapproval despite your need for acceptance. When you expect too much from those
you are close to, you are often disappointed. As a substitute for emotional satisfaction,
you are somewhat self-indulgent. You display a weakness for comforts and luxuries.
Your money conditions can cause problems if not carefully controlled. Sexual excesses
can be a product of your feelings of being unloved.
Moon opposed Mars
The opposition between the Moon and Mars shows continuous crises in relationships
because it is so hard for you to compromise. You get into disputes about the most
insignificant matters. Your personality is sparkling and outgoing, but feelings are
intense, and you are quick to strike back when criticized. You meet people easily and
eagerly. This eagerness often gets you involved with individual with whom you have little
in common. Permanent relationships are difficult for you to cultivate. This is partly
because of the individuals to whom you are attracted, and in part because you become
so overbearing and dominating. You become emotionally pushy and intolerant of
anyone who refuses to submit to your demands. In business you meet competition well,
but have difficulty dealing with authority. You have trouble following the rules.
Moon opposed Jupiter
The opposition between the moon and Jupiter shows a lack of appreciation of your
actual worth. You may be a highly developed individual with much creative ability, and
still question the importance of those abilities. You feel the need to be around people
you highly respect, to have their reassurance of your talent, and their advice. You often
place your faith in those who don't deserve it, and you can be too generous with these
types. You attract money easily, but your judgment in spending it is sometimes not so
sound. You are generous, but you have a tendency to give to the wrong causes.
Moon opposed Saturn
The opposition between the Moon and Saturn suggests a negative mental attitude and
often a restriction of the spontaneous flow of ideas. Intellectual responses are
somewhat slowed. Even if you are very bright, the inability to express self in other than
a prosaic manner often hides real mental abilities. Thus, you are more contemplative
than conversational, but nonetheless a good listener. You are austere in your behavior
and having fun is something that is hard for you to do chiefly because you worry too

much. You function well when you are self-employed or at least have a free hand in
deciding what you do. You lack emotional flexibility and optimism in your dealing with
others, and you may sometimes display a stiff formal manner that can make others ill at
ease.
Moon opposed Uranus
The Moon and Uranus form an opposition in your chart. This opposition suggests a
conflict in your life regarding emotional matters. The Moon denotes emotions and
Uranus produces unstable situations. Thus, you may be called on to deal with
unpredictable emotions that may appear as nervous tension. It may require conscious
effort on your part to maintain a responsible role in your domestic affairs. There is a
tendency for you to attract a mate displaying forceful traits. This individual is likely to
dominate you. Males have more difficulties than female with this aspect because it
frequently sets up problems with females, including the mother. In either sex, there is a
constant demand to decide for others that generates stress between the mental and
emotional faculties.
Moon opposed Neptune
The opposition between the Moon and Neptune shows talent and creativity. Yet
emotions govern most of your actions. You have some difficulty separating truth from
fiction, and you may create illusions about yourself and others. Objectives are obscure,
and you lack the ability to plan your life in an orderly fashion. You may experience
periods when you are lacking in self-confidence. You can become an escapist at these
times. People sometimes take advantage of you because you become so emotionally
involved with their problems.
Moon opposed Pluto
The opposition between the Moon and Pluto suggests a very demonstrative show of
affections and a strong sensitivity to any signs of rejection. Occasionally, this aspect
denotes the loner. You try to control your family and friends, often displaying emotional
vehemence in your relationships. This aspect may show an alternating from
aggressiveness to austerity in love and romance. This aspect brings jealousy,
impulsiveness and sensuality. Perhaps because of your relationship with your parents,
you may feel rejected occasionally, and you may seek drastic solutions to your
problems. You must learn to handle your attitude of intolerance in relationships.
