Moon conjunct Ascendant

The Moon conjunct the Ascendant shows that you have some emotional hang-ups. You want close, intimate contacts with people, but you tend to keep people at arm's length because you are afraid you will become obligated to them. This fear forces you to deny yourself many rewarding friendships in order to be safe from anything that might develop into an intimate contact. You are a mass of contradictions: making demands on people but complaining when they do the same to you; expecting others to make overtures to you and withdrawing when they do; hoping for warm social contacts, but severing ties before they can be established. When you do succeed in forming a close relationship, you rarely make any commitment of your affection until you have been assured that the feeling is mutual. Although you are highly imaginative, you react to stimulating people in a generally negative and critical way. You are so emotional that it is nearly impossible for you to make a fair evaluation of people's motives toward you. On the surface you are independent, but you yearn for a quieter role in which you can enjoy the comfort of knowing that someone really cares for you. This can only happen when you lower your defensive barriers and learn to compromise by meeting people halfway.

Moon conjunct Ascendant: Lunar characteristics are very prominent in this conjunction. Emotional interaction with the environment is vitally important. Feelings toward others are maternal, and we may want to mother and care for them. Our impressionability is great and we shall probably undergo frequent changes of attitude, for the Moon is an unsettling influence. We can be very emotional, too. Frequently we have close family ties, and set great store by home life.

Moon conjunct Ascendant: This aspect is not an easy one. The Ascendant symbolizes the body according to the house system. The Moon represents the physical body in the language of the planets. When the two are combined it indicates an inordinate sensitivity to any new experience. Obviously a Cancer Moon conjunct the Ascendant will be more sensitive than the conjunction in Aries; but this person is over sensitized to the surroundings no matter what the sign is. The Moon also symbolizes the physical mother and how she carried herself when the individual was forming a personality. The emotional reactions felt by the mother are absorbed by the child, and, in the case of this aspect, the emotional reactions will be directly tied to the pursuit of any new stage of life; new people, new situations, new jobs.

These individuals will acutely feel any sensitive feeling experience, and it's hard to make it past third grade with your peers with this kind of sensitivity. So these children develop a veneer to cover the emotional reactions - and this aspect is often tougher on boys for they are supposed to be the rough-tough people in our culture.

The mother of these individuals reacted emotionally, and they reacted to her emotional difficulties can be traced back to their response to her. The body is abnormally tense, for it is constantly prepared to cover or hide any emotional shock it may experience in the environment. These individuals are apt to interpret conversations in a most personal way, not understanding the editorial 'you' and assuming that all conversations are directed their way in a personal fashion, and that any criticism is directed at them in a personal sense. This can indicate people who are overly defensive or overly sensitive.

The conjunction also gives an unusually strong intuitive ability which when properly channeled can be most helpful in the decision-making processes. But, it can also hinder the personality if the cultural or ethnic background frowns on intuitive reactions. For example, a boy raised in a 'macho' family may feel insecure about his masculinity if he feels too much, if he is too sensitive. If this is the case, he may become defensive and therefore hard to communicate with.

Each of the signs must be read individually. The conjunction intensifies the activities governed by both the Ascendant and the Moon. Any additional aspects to this conjunction should be considered when discussing this aspect, for hard aspects can alter an interpretation considerably.

Moon conjunct Ascendant: Moon conjunct Ascendant suggests that the individual will approach the world and those within it wanting to care for and protect. If other chart factors concur, they will appear as being very responsive, adaptable, impressionable, and keen either to satisfy the needs of others or to have their own needs satisfied.

There is often a strong identification with the mother-figure and often the mother role itself. There is usually a very strong female presence in the early years. People with this placement will sometimes have been (or had to be) exceptionally sensitive to the maternal figure's needs, and perhaps had to protect that person. In some cases, they act as mother to their own mother and thereafter go out into the world wanting either to feed others emotionally or to be fed by them.

The individual with the Moon rising, rather like Neptune rising, can be so receptive and sensitive to everything and everyone they meet that they find it difficult to work out where they leave off and others begin. They absorb whatever they encounter. I have known several instances where the mother had psychiatric problems and the child had to take on the role of mother to the mother from a very early age. To keep her behavior relatively sane, the child develops what Howard Sasportas describes as a 'radar-like ability' to pick up and read her signals, and quite soon the ability to read signals from everyone he comes into contact with. The ill mother also sometimes copes better with the child whilst it is still a baby or infant and still dependent on her. Thus, as an adult, the Moon rising person often still exudes a powerful neediness and often a childlike dependency. The Moon seems to describe the child in relation to early mother-figures and thus Moon rising people sometimes approach the world revealing the part of themselves which is a needy child, wanting to be protected and cared for.

Moon sextile Ascendant

The Moon sextile the Ascendant shows that you try to understand why you react so sensitively to what people say to you. You also try to understand the various circumstances in your life, so there is harmony in these areas of your life. It wasn't always this way; until you matured, you felt apprehensive that people were criticizing you, or that you were handling situations less skillfully than you should. Even now, there are times when you have some difficulty in separating fact from fiction, but you are learning all the time. You are not becoming less sensitive, just more understanding. You tend to become overly emotional in your dealings with people and to underestimate your competence in successfully handling the situations that develop. The truth is, most people consider you quite competent, so stop worrying about it.

You have a wealth of ideas, which you should capitalize on. Perhaps in your work you can make meaningful suggestions that could be used constructively by your superiors. Your work is very important to you. You accept your tasks eagerly and want to prove your competence by performing them well. In reaching the goals you set for yourself, you continually strive for excellence. Once you get over your feeling of inferiority, you can succeed in meeting any challenge from competitors.

In a personal relationship, you hope to be appreciated for the contributions you make to sustain it. You are more than able to share mutual interests without shirking your responsibilities. Most people realize this, and some may try to take advantage of your compliant nature. You have a wide circle of friends with who you enjoy many pleasant social gatherings. You love to be included in social affairs where you can converse with people on a variety of subjects. You are fairly well-read and can make a substantial contribution to discussions on many topics.

Moon trine or sextile Ascendant: We are able to relate well emotionally to others. The emotional life presents few problems, and the environment does not pose a threat to our sense of well-being.

We are solicitous of those around us, and are prepared to help and pamper them; yet we have sense enough not to tie them down but to leave them as free as possible. However, we are very much involved with others and this can sometimes create difficulties, because we would much rather have company than be on our own. Not everyone can live with us on these terms.

Generally speaking, though, development will be emotionally stable as far as environment is concerned, and our need to be caring can be satisfied both in the family circle and in social and other work.

Moon trine or sextile Ascendant: These are people who have been taught to respond to life in an emotionally constructive manner during childhood.

Moon square Ascendant

The Moon square the Ascendant shows that you are emotionally biased in your reaction to events and experiences with people. An impressionable person, you have difficulty in realistically evaluating the conditions you react to. Perhaps you are aware of this tendency and are annoyed with yourself for not being more objective. You are a victim of habits that have become so deeply ingrained that they are difficult to change. Emotionally vulnerable to strong character types who try to mould you to their liking, you are often powerless to do anything but submit. Your difficulty in facing reality increases your problems in relationships, because people are never sure how you will react to them. You are a sentimentalist with strong ties to family and home. It is not easy to transfer those ties to other people with whom you can associate in a personal, emotional relationship. But it is important for you to break away from the past and the limits it imposes on your freedom. You will then be able to develop on your own without feeling that you must get someone else's approval.

The abrasive conditions of open competition will always be painful unless you can insulate yourself by learning to cope with people and circumstances intellectually. You will thus learn that everyone has certain feelings of apprehension about meeting challenges and that you are not alone with this problem. If you talk with your friends about this, you will see that they too have similar anxieties. Knowing this might comfort you. Don't take on more burdens than you need to, especially in your career. Get an education, if you don't already have one, for it will help you succeed in meeting competition. Be wary of associates who may try to get you to compensate for their lack of ability and then leave you holding the bag if things don't turn out as expected.

Above all, keep your personal affairs to yourself. Don't give adversaries the opportunity to learn your weaknesses. And stop feeling sorry for yourself.

Moon square or opposite Ascendant: The effect of the hard aspects between the Moon and Ascendant is much more uncomfortable and disturbing. We experience the world and everything with which we are not totally familiar as a worrying threat to our safety, and so we do not always react with poise or find it easy to make contacts.

The Moon, as the principle of changeability, can make us moody for reasons not immediately apparent to the outside world, and this can produce a vicious spiral in which we feel hurt, retire into ourselves, get no sympathy, feel hurt, withdraw, etc., etc.. Yet that is the last thing we require, since the Moon / Ascendant aspect gives us a need for emotional interaction with our environment.

Sometimes we are at a loss for how to behave in emotional situations, or in situations where we have to care for and cherish others (for example, as a mother or father). Then we may be inclined to seek the help and advice of someone we trust to solve the problem in some other way. The activity associated with hard aspects often encourages us to explore various avenues.

Moon square or opposite Ascendant: If the aspects between the Moon and Ascendant are difficult, these people see life as a difficult emotional experience. Each new beginning in childhood may have been an emotional trauma - they were afraid to start school, they had difficulty moving to another school during the early years, or perhaps they resisted the various phases of growing up.

If the Moon squares the Ascendant, it indicates that the emotional needs of these individuals are not easily expressed by the 'persona'. The career drive may suppress the emotional nature, or the masquerade that is presented to the public may in fact mask a tender emotional structure. This causes inner tension, for the emotional needs have to find expression.

In the case of the opposition, in some way the mother (Moon) compromised the child's actions - every time the Ascendant reached out to do something, mother stood in the way. The individual will respond to life much as the mother did as far as the emotions are concerned, so the same apprehensions that Mom projected when the person was a child will be projected by the person as an adult. Each new job will bring inordinate trauma; each new beginning will contain trauma.

Moon trine Ascendant

The Moon trine the Ascendant gives you an easy-going disposition and allows you to derive much pleasure from creative expression. You are imaginative, sensitive, emotionally poised, and articulate in expressing yourself. You appreciate the sense of values that your parents have instilled in you, and you are prepared to take advantage of your sensitive intellect and develop your own mental resources and ideas. Being resourceful, you will find the way to capitalize on your talents, even though it may be difficult to find the necessary funds to accomplish what you want. You may be forced to do without some necessities, but you feel it is worth it if your main objectives can thus be realized. Unless you are alert, people will try to take advantage of your good nature to benefit themselves. You should require your friends to prove their worth before accepting them completely. You cannot afford to be indifferent to your own needs in relationships, whether casual or intimate.

You have sufficient talent to make a substantial contribution to your career. You realize that in order to succeed you must make sacrifices in your personal affairs. This might mean deferring marriage until you can get the education you need to succeed in your professional endeavors. You want to know that you've exploited your creative potentials, and you want the fulfillment that this brings.

Your marital partner must always remain a lover, so that you will continue to make substantial contributions to maintain the fascination and excitement of your first encounter.

You need to know you are wanted, and you are crushed if your efforts are unappreciated, especially by those to whom you've been the most generous.

Moon quincunx Ascendant

The Moon inconjunct the Ascendant shows that you are a glutton for punishment. You are so eager to show that you really care about other people that you allow them to take advantage of your sympathetic nature. You are emotionally vulnerable to other people's problems and want to help them resolve their difficulties if you can. Generous with your time and efforts, you can always be depended upon to volunteer your services. You simply like to do things for others, but in the process you may undermine your own health.

Unfortunately, you don't differentiate between people who deserve your help and those who are undeserving. Those who don't merit assistance from you may secretly laugh at you for all your efforts. If you will set a price on your services, you won't have to waste so much energy on those who don't appreciate them to begin with.

You will always be able to earn a living because you know how to adapt to a variety of employment requirements. You won't refuse an occupation simply because it doesn't give you status among your associates and friends; the needs of the moment are of more concern to you. You are attracted to occupations that serve the public. Your superiors think well of you as a competent employee who isn't afraid of work, although your friends may criticize you for doing more than your share. You may not have been interested in getting a higher education, but you can always compensate in other ways. If you do get an education you will still draw upon your experience to derive the most benefit from it.

You like to feel that you are providing something constructive in the lives of those you deal with. You haven't forgotten the assistance you received when you were younger, and the help you give is in some way a repayment. If you are appreciated, it is reward enough for you.

Moon quincunx Ascendant: With an inconjunct between the Moon and the Ascendant, we feel least comfortable of all. The way in which we approach the outside world (Ascendant) differs so much from the way in which we try to gain a feeling of security that the contrast makes us very unsure of ourselves emotionally. Behavior is soon affected and, depending on the signs involved, we shall either creep into our shell or else slip into a role. Therefore the world will have little inkling of our feelings and emotions and may treat us as if there were something wrong with us. As with the square and opposition between Moon and Ascendant, a vicious spiral can be set up.

If only we can appreciate the reasons behind our different attitudes, we shall be less troubled by the 'split' feeling and shall achieve a more balanced outlook as we go through life. Then the positive factor in the Moon / Ascendant aspect will be free to develop to the full.

Moon opposite Ascendant

The Moon opposition the Ascendant shows that you try to become personally involved in the affairs of the people you know. Not content with casual encounters or impersonal communication, you seek to be absorbed by others so they will turn to you for sympathetic understanding. Subconsciously, you need someone to need you at all times. You are trying to transfer the parental loyalty of your childhood to people with whom you can become intimately identified. This seems to be the only way you can conserve the emotional security you are accustomed to.

You have a wide circle of friends who think highly of you because of your generous and kindly disposition. Nevertheless, you find it difficult to form individual, binding relationships, because you are never really sure you can fulfill the responsibilities they entail. To avoid this problem, you circulate freely among a number of people you feel comfortable with, who appreciate the favors you do for them. You want to be loved, and you constantly dwell on this fact. Although you adapt fairly well to changes in a relationship between yourself and another person, you secretly worry that you've failed to make a sufficient contribution to sustain the relationship.

Because you function well in a social environment, public relations would be a comfortable field for you. You hate being alone, so any professional interest should involve personal contact with the public. You may have some difficulty in achieving your material goals, however. Your sometimes fickle behavior gives your superiors the impression that you are unstable and therefore unreliable. It is important that you learn to stand alone and secure in your independence. You persist in the hope that everything you desire will some day be realized.

Moon opposite Ascendant: Moon conjunct Descendant suggests that there is a very strong need for relationship and all the emotional, familial and domestic security it might provide. A need for relationships which will provide some measure of nurture, containment, protection and dependency. Whatever the real nature of a particular relationship - child-parent, employer-employee, or that between two lovers, those with the Moon Descendant somehow or other find themselves in a parent-child relationship, with them to be found at either end of the spectrum.

People with this placement often find, maybe several years into a relationship, that they have 'married' someone who closely resembles their mother or are re-enacting the relationship they had with her or would like to have had.

Sometimes the early mother figure was experienced more as a wife, either to the child or to the other parent, and it is from this situation that a mother-spouse linkage is formed. In any event, mother issues and relationship seem even more intermingled than usual with this combination.

People with Moon conjunct Descendant are often very nurturing in relationship, and, indeed, in all one-to-one encounters, though, as Howard Sasportas says of Moon in the 7th, it may be 'over-sensitive or over-adaptive' to the needs of the partner. This placement is indicative of the formation of very strong bonds with women. People with this placement who are in therapy, for example, usually feel more comfortable with women therapists.

The placement can also be found in those who meet others through providing some sort of lunar skills; such skills might range from cooking and catering to working in security, or even such things as furniture restoration: those who provide some kind of service which involves caring or providing some kind of protection.

Moon square or opposite Ascendant: The effect of the hard aspects between the Moon and Ascendant is much more uncomfortable and disturbing. We experience the world and everything with which we are not totally familiar as a worrying threat to our safety, and so we do not always react with poise or find it easy to make contacts.
