I'm a little bit used to Saturn, I have -natal- Sun conjunct Saturn but Saturn in Capricorn is 'touching' my moon and I don't like it at all. I can't wait for 2021.
I'm a Pisces sun (21), Cancer moon (26) and I'm an emotional person, although most of the time if you meet me in real life you will notice that I'm very calm, smiley and that I seem cold or that I don't feel that much. Well, I believe my mental health sucks because for years I had suicidal thoughts. During this week I will go to seek professional help but I want to read some advises from you because you know about astrology and maybe you can help me somehow, I hope .
I definitely feel this: natal Moon opoosition Saturn orb 2° 6'

You may feel very lonely and depressed during this month. Your social life is likely to be limited and you could be plagued by negative thoughts and emotional frustration.

You may have to deal with painful affectionate situations such as deceptions, separations, or indifference on the part of your loved ones. The feeling of romantic failure will be very strong. It is a time to meet with karmic debts.

I'm tired and I feel so alone, you have no idea. Usually, I love being alone, I'm that kind of person who needs their space and all that, but now I feel lonely and I don't know what to do. I know many people and many people know me but that at the end of the day does not matter, because I am not very close to anyone.

Just following my instinct here.
Saturn likes structure and work: discipline.

I'd say at this time join a cause that you feel passionate about. Volunteer when you can, what you can. Meet like-minded people in the process. Even if it's only a few hours a week. You can make life long friends, and potential romance but go into it without expectations other than to contribute to what you care about.
That also feeds your Pisces sun. Pisces is very giving and caring about others and the world. They can sacrifice too much of themselves in the process so watch out for that.

See? This was what i meant. You helped me see this in a different way, because I didn't think it like that. Thanks for your reply!

You've entered one of the toughest times in your life with both Saturn & Pluto opposite your natal Moon -- while Neptune is also applying in conjunction to natal Sun.

Saturn-Pluto opposite natal Moon
This a time for internal, emotional change -- especially in your relational dynamics with others. That can be understood as Saturn urging you to pull away from interaction with others in order to gain greater internal clarity about your emotional patterns and what you want to change about them.

So it is good that you are getting help with this process.

Understand the feeling of being alone is transient and will lessen as you are able to find out what core feelings and needs need to surface and be expressed. So many of us hide so much of our internal selves that we can gradually feel cut off from others from lack of the kind of openness or exchange that can lead to trust, genuine friendships, and intimacy.

So, it's not a matter of merely 'surviving', but getting a feel for what this process means -- for you.

Neptune conjunct natal Sun
This is a time in which your understanding of yourself is shifting, which can be confusing at times. Your sense of ideals and vision for your life will almost certainly change and it will involve moving through doubts and some uncertainties to get to what is more important -- not necessarily more certain -- but more important at a soul level.

I also suggest that you can benefit from a well chosen crystal or gemstone during this time. You don't have to know an exactly 'right one', but can start with something that improves your emotional clarity and balance. Try reading about the stones I've described here: http://kannonmcafee.wordpress.com/crystals-gems/ ... You may find at least one that sounds like it could help you.

If so, please contact me through my site as I have some extras of some of these to share (in case buying them is an issue). I have a contact page there and can possibly answer some questions about natural remedies to help you.

I hope you feel better soon.

This too shall pass.

Hey there fellow Cancer Moon. Mine is at 17 Degrees.

Think of this transit like this.You are the first born in your family who is getting all the love & attention. You get accustomed to all this & don't question that it could ever be otherwise.

Then suddenly at age 4, another sibling is born. And all the family attention goes to the child who has been born.

During this time, it could feel like someone pulled the proverbial mat from under you- as the family dynamics change I.e you are no longer just the only one getting attention, another person has "stolen" your thunder.

Typically speaking, Saturn-Moon transits are accompanied by some family change or dynamic.Somebody needs to be more emotionally less demanding or become self dependent in having their emotional needs met.

During this time, it could feel like other people have their backs turned against you. And this could have you take offense as to how you are being treated.

Perhaps u feel ignored,abandoned,unloved, lonesome? Like people are so "cold"? etc. Maybe they are right now. Maybe they are busy attending to their own business/ responsibilities and are less sensitive to you?

Naturally this transit may result in you being very sensitive to all that & pulling back to possibly pout/sulk in your shell i.e "nobody cares for me anymore" etc.

But then,it also reaches a point where you say "well, since people have decided to withdraw their attention/love from me. I must then provide this love & attention to myself."

You may then at this point choose to get out of your feelings of being vulnerable or sensitive to oother's attention to you. And then go to reflecting back to them what they give you; being formal,sober & more "reserved" with them.

Others may comment that you've "changed". And perhaps you have.Or maybe you are treating people like how you feel you are being treated? This transit is the "Be my own authority" aspect & may demand MORE self-sufficiency and self dependence.

So if you are the Cancer Moon who is giving emotionally, you will withdraw. You will feel like other people are not appreciating you or taking advantage.

If you are the Cancer Moon that takes a lot, other people will withdraw from you. You may hear the words "grow up" a lot. And it could hurt. But take it to mean "You have enough inner reserves to last without external assistance".

The feeling of being suicidal,tired and depressed is coinciding with this. It could be that it's being further exacerbated by the fact that you are still depending on others to hold you together?

But I see that your initiative in going out and seeking help is the step that is necessary to self-sustain and tend to your own emotional needs.Good on you As that is exactly what this transit encourages.

Some things that coincide with this Saturn orbit in Cap opposing your Cancer Moon;

*Mom/Dad cut one off financially or limit the native.

*One moves away from home & into a commune with strangers

*One works so much that one doesn't get to go home or have downtime.

*One works for an environment where everyone minds their own. And there is little sense of "community".

*One may lose a close friend/family member through death or the close ties cooling off.

*Your best friend gets married or has their own family. You two can't hang out as much.

*You have your first child. You feel like you are not allowed to fall apart and have to be the "adult".

You may even experience social isolation or an inability to connect with others right now. Well atleast not those who are missing that "down to earth" touch.

And if you have fickle friends, this transit will teach you about what your priorities are in the type of friends you make.

I myself recall the square to my Moon in 2011 as a period of social isolation.

I had moved into a neighborhood where I knew no-one and couldn't open up to anyone in order to make friends. So I spent a great deal of time alone.

What it taught me was that(if needs be)I can be my own company for extended periods of time(Months).And that it is OK.

There will be moments where you burst into tears. This transit is especially sobering for Cancer Moon folks because both signs involved are in their "home" planet. So it does have a "double" effect overall.

But take comfort in the knowledge that you CAN survive. That the universe will only provide you with people if and when you need them.And they will be competent enough to deal with what they are needed to deal with.

Otherwise everything else is inside of you
You are more "well stocked" than would otherwise feel. You can take care of your own needs and survive.

When I had the opposition closer in orb last year, I was completing my studies. That admittedly helped me in being distracted from going into dark places and feeling all forlorn.

Socially however, I couldn't afford to go anywhere or do anything. So once again , the inner resources had to kick in and keep me company. And they did.

You will survive. Not only that. You will thrive

I've recently gone through this transit, when Saturn was passing through late Sag (and when Pluto was there, too. (They were also transiting my MC, since my moon is conjunct the IC).

I would say I had a big dose of feeling like I had both found groups to be apart of, and then discovering how lonely I felt within them. At the time it was a roller coaster of emotional ups and downs, but it definitely taught me what I do and do not want out of those I let close to me.

Saturn oppositions are like the 'external world' suddenly showing you stark reality. This can be good or bad, depending on what you've got around you- and opposing the moon can be extra sensitive because it's all emotional needs being discovered. Sometimes we discover we are REALLY surrounded by things that are not good for us at all. But that's what Saturn is trying to teach us.

Erin Sullivan—Saturn in Transit; Boundaries of Mind, Body, and Soul. pg241

The Saturn-Moon Opposition
“When transiting Saturn opposes the Moon a tremendous effort toward emotional maturity is required to gain the greatest value from the experiences that are evoked. This, like the conjunction, is one of the most difficult astrological transits to reconcile. Not only are the natures of the planets themselves inherently opposed, but the aspect itself is one of separation. The separation is internal, but frequently is manifested in the form of relationship dilemmas. When Saturn opposes the Moon we see our inside on the outside and our emotions and feelings are often mirrored by others. It is easy to think that it is the other who is doing the separating, but if we are honest, we see that we have equally been agents in the estrangement between ourself and another. The quality of the time is one of serious contemplation of what the instinctive, sleeping, side has been doing. The awakening process that occurs with this transit is akin to what actually happens when we do wake up after a night's sleep. We find that events have transpired in the world around us to which we must adjust. It means assimilating and digesting information about which we have been effectively unconscious. Perhaps there have been dreams, that is, hints or nudges from the unconscious that ‘something is happening’. Working on the feeling function, allowing the pain to rise, recollecting the past, reducing the attachment to old standards of relating, coming to terms with needs that no longer serve, clearing out emotional obligations—all these characteristics are part of the opposition phase. Becoming emotionally responsible requires that we purge old patterns that are repetitive, demanding, and non-life-supporting. The intent underlying this transit is to encourage a clear perspective on what is eternal and what is finite. The nostalgia and mourning that accompany Saturn-Moon contacts is a natural function that the psyche instigates to mark a passage from one state to another. It is not uncommon to experience unaccountable crying fits, emotional distortion, and atemporal grief. I don't suggest that we should indulge in this, but if it is occurring, then do acknowledge the experience as one of great significance. Just because something is part of the past does not negate its value. However, a point of departure has arrived, and inherent in that departure is arrival at a new destination. A positive resurrection of the past can also occur, one in which the old has reappeared in a new and useful form. We may be given the opportunity to retain a thread of value from an old form of activity that is part of a catalyst for future involvements. The thread of Saturn is woven through the fabric of the whole life, and the opposition is a time of gathering such continuing links to create new and stronger patterns.”

I am sorry you are feeling this way and going through such a challenging transit. You have 3 planets in the sign opposite your moon, Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter, so it is normal to feel overwhelmed.

This time signals the need for you to shed dead emotional weight (Pluto), so seeking therapy will be really beneficial to you. You will find after this transit is done that you have gone through hell and back, but that you are in a better place. And you will be emotionally stronger, as the moon is in her element in Cancer, you WILL bounce back.

I don't know where your ascendant, where your moon is in your chart, and where these 3 transiting planets are traveling in your chart so I really cannot give more insight.

Thank you very much for your help. I'm so glad you took the time to write to me. I really feel like now is one of those difficult times in my life but I think I've experienced worse things before. Sun conjunct Neptune, perhaps it is the reason why I feel more Pisces than ever. I had forgotten that Neptune is in Pisces now.

It's funny that for a few weeks I was thinking about paying more attention to the crystals. I take it as a signal .

Fellow Cancer Moon .
Oh wow, I like the example you gave to understand better.

I feel a little like that. Lately I feel like I have to be more responsible and sometimes I feel like I'm my dad's mother (he is 73 years old and sometimes he is a mess, especially now that the coronavirus is happening) and I also feel that way with my dogs. It's like I used to feel freer and now I don't.

Many times I feel that most people are distant and cold. And it seems very strange to me that for many weeks I felt that I was going through the breakup of a romantic relationship, every day, when I wasn't? It's that feeling of abandonment, of 'what do I do now without that warm presence that there was before?', It's weird.

'You will feel like other people are not appreciating you or taking advantage.' yessssss, that's correct.

Thank you very much for your help, thank you for telling me about your experience.

Thank you very much for your help. I really liked what you wrote because I was always that type of person who seems not to know how to say no to something and anyone can take advantage of it. Now I feel like I'm growing and distancing myself from some people and I didn't do this before.

We may be given the opportunity to retain a thread of value from an old form of activity that is part of a catalyst for future involvements. The thread of Saturn is woven through the fabric of the whole life, and the opposition is a time of gathering such continuing links to create new and stronger patterns.”[/B]


Thank you for this. Now I can be sure that moon opposite Saturn has a lot to do with what I was thinking about, changing old habits and growing. It's hard but I will have to live it.

This time signals the need for you to shed dead emotional weight (Pluto), so seeking therapy will be really beneficial to you. You will find after this transit is done that you have gone through hell and back, but that you are in a better place. And you will be emotionally stronger, as the moon is in her element in Cancer, you WILL bounce back.

I don't know where your ascendant, where your moon is in your chart, and where these 3 transiting planets are traveling in your chart so I really cannot give more insight.


Aww. Thank you very much for your kindness. I am really grateful for the help I receive here.

I like your words.

Uranus is also touching my Ascendant and Nodes.
