2-shripal, re. correspondence about Moon/Saturn conjunction...> Mark Kincaid

[Guest guest]

Dear Shripal:

 

I thought you might like to read this correspondence I had with a lady who

has a son with Moon/Saturn conjunction.

 

Goes along with the conversations we've been having...about conjunctions vs.

aspects....

 

PS.... how have you been enjoying yesterday and today?

 

Especially today, when the Moon's now, running about,... 21st degree of

Gemini, when Saturn's running the 29th degree.....

 

you can really feel the intensity of this Moon/Saturn conjunction....

 

These monthly, transits, really will help us understand 'conjunctions' vs.

aspects....

 

And in a few days when the Moon goes into Cancer, and then, Leo, we'll see

the effects.... of

Saturn's 3rd house aspect....upon Leo, and the Moon,....again...

 

I wonder which will feel stronger,....

 

these last few days of conjunction, or....the days of Moon/Leo?

 

 

Practical, transiting experiences really have the potential of verifying for

us, the truths of the principles and rules of Jyotish.

 

 

take care

dear Taubis:

 

I loved your letter regarding you, your son, and your use of Astrology.

 

I think this is one of the best benefits of Astrology, which is to help us

all grow within the constraints of our charts.

 

I think, also, it can only help, knowing he and you have the charts that you

do.

 

Not knowing can be a curse, where you don't realize what each person is

bringing to the dinner table.

 

Knowing allows for better understanding and what I believe to be, true

parenting, in the direction of Nature herself, which lives Astrology.

 

How's he doing today, a day when Moon's returned to being in conjunction

with Saturn, again.

 

Each month it happens again for about 2 1/2 days.

 

His Moon/Saturn conjunction is partly about you, but it's mostly about him.

 

The Moon's in our charts are mostly about 'our' relationship with our

Mothers.

 

That's why 6 different siblings can all have different Moon's in their

charts, and all, have the same Mothers.

 

Their, relationships with her is expressive by the different Moon's in their

charts.

 

So, don't worry so much. He's meant to grow in his relationship with you.

The fact that you recognize and are interested in helping him, indicates

he's got a great mom.

 

Moon/Saturn together, often represent this feeling of seperation from

mother, from especially the child's side.

 

I have Moon/Saturn together in my 12th house, and I often felt my Mother

wasn't there for me.

 

Now I realize she was, I just didn't feel it.

 

It's only since I learned Astrology that I realized 'that' was my karma, and

as I sought to be closer with her, and/or the Moon, .... that that quality

started going away.

 

Also, don't forget the Moon represents 'our' emotions or emotional nature,

our 'relationship' with our Mother's...and eventually,....God, as the

Mother,....

 

where Sun represents,....our selves, our relationship with Father,....and

eventually, God, the Father....

 

Hope this helps....

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Mark Kincaid

Hi -

 

   I've always worried about this aspect in my son's natal chart.  He has a

moon/saturn conjunction in the 2nd in gemini in opposition to a loose

pluto-mars conjunction in the 8th in sagittarius.  I've long heard the

controlling, manipulative mother stereotype linked to the moon opp. pluto

and always try to be aware that I may have this tendency.  I can see it at

times and I don't know whether knowing it is a good or bad thing.  Sometimes

in the midst of disciplining my 3 1/2 year old very loud, assertive leo sun/

aries asc/ gemini moon - I can feel myself play into that controlling role

and get into power plays with him - I have tried to lately quit that - but

heck he's 3 1/2!! You know how those 3 1/2 year olds like to test your

boundaries!!  In other ways I think it's useful to not be able to deny the

tendency and deal with it before he gets older.  On the plus side he has his

leo sun and leo mercury in the 5th and a venus/jupiter conjunction in cancer

inthe 3rd, which I believe tempers his mars/pluto and aries rising.  He's

very strong willed and assertive and at times aggressive - I'm constantly

trying to censor "fighting" images from him because he seems to be so

stimulated by these images and wants to imitate them - he also gravitates

more toward males in the fighting or aggressive role, but toward females and

animals he's surprisingly gentle and charming.
