Those individuals that Saturn has a square aspect to the Moon in their natal chart likely have a difficult time expressing their emotions. This is particularly true if, for instance, Mercury is also square to the Moon perhaps in conjunction with Saturn. These individuals may appear emotionally distant, cold or detached, but this may not hold true on an internal perspective, especially if the Moon is in a water sign.
When we look only at the Moon and Saturn (without
any other influence), these individuals may be hesitant to express their
emotions. Perhaps there could be a reluctance to display emotions because
they were restricted emotionally by a parent. Quite often those with this
combination had a challenge due to the resistance of emotional release from the
mother, and as a result, they were not permitted or were held back from
releasing their emotions. They may have been pushed to bury their
sensitivity at a young age. The Mother or more feminine parent may have
been a strict disciplinarian and always showed strength and
determination. This parent may have wanted to pass this on to their children. Much
will depend, however, on the sign of the Moon and its house placement in the
natal chart.
The Moon also is reflective of our nurturing
abilities and our protective instincts towards our own children and those that
we deem to be emotionally in need. Individuals with this square would most
likely have a protective urge and would keep their children within arm’s
reach. There may be a fear that their children need to be protected and
they will do so with great intensity. There may also be challenging
conditions linked to nurturing and their ideas of nurturing may be tight fisted
and there would be a lesson of learning to have a softer response. These
individuals could be hard on their children and also hard on themselves from an
emotional perspective.
Saturn can also be reflective of a demanding
authoritative figure.
In personal terms, this combination can suggest an
individual who is very controlled and disciplined always appearing to be in
control of life’s situations and never showing their sensitivities. Emotions
may be viewed as a weakness and even when they are experiencing turmoil within,
they appear restrained and measured.
Saturn is the disciplinarian but also the
teacher. Although the road to emotional expression may be hindered, the
goal may be to restrain oneself in emotionally intense situations and in turn
to learn from this approach.
Control may be a lesson in this life. A more
relaxed and slower but deliberate release of emotions may unclog the tension
that this natal aspect might hold. Letting go of fear can reduce this
tension and it is important to know that all challenging aspects in the birth
chart can be remedied if the individual is willing to put in the work to
overcome and learn from the aspect. If they can do this, the energies will
no longer bond them.
