"The Moon Aspecting the Sun:

Can increase moodiness. If you have the conjunction, you have all your eggs in one basket. What you are on the outside and what you feel inside is the same. This increases your consistency but can diminish the breath of your viewpoint. The sextile and trine tend to be easygoing. Energizing influences have to be provided by other things in the chart. These harmonious aspects, however, are supposed to strengthen the body and thereby lengthen the life. The stress aspects mean the inner and outer parts of your nature are inclined to work at cross purposes. The Sun shows what your ego needs in order to be satisfied. The Moon shows your "unconscious" needs, your feelings. The stress aspects mean that each of these needs must come from conflicting sources. For instance, if your Sun is in Aries, you need to take direct action. If your Moon is in the sign of Cancer, then your inner self is sensitive, moody, and not likely to make a move unless things "feel good". At least this keeps life from getting dull."

AND

"Sun opposition Moon (Robert Pelletier):

The Sun opposition the Moon shows that there are difficulties between you and the people you deal with. You have a natural conflict betwen your emotions and your ego, and you unconsciously communicate this psychological hang-up to your associates, family, friends, and even your romantic partners. You often act in a hesitant spurt of enthusiasm, which is followed by anguish that your action may have been ill-advised. When you try to assert your own individuality, you are often torn by loyalty to those closest to you. You would prefer to have their full support so you could avoid the painful explanations and guilt that seem to accompany anything you want to do.

Relationships mean a great deal to you, and you long for someone with whom you can totally identify. Although you enjoy casusal contacts, they never sufficiently satisfy your need to beliong. You want a person who will fulfill your every need: love, friendship, sustaining you in your goals, sharing in your setbacks, fortifying you in your weakness, inspiring you in exploiting your creative talents, and sharing the full benefits of your combined efforts. A tall order, to be sure, and you will have to make concessions to obtain that kind of partner. You will have to be more giving than receiving, more compromising than obstinate, and more humble than arrogant. This too may be a tall order, but you can do it, or at least give it a good try. Any progress will prove beneficial.

Your greatest handicap is your unwillingness to let go of the past. Don't be afraid that people will consider you indifferent and unfeeling - you could never be unemotional. Make a realistic appraisal of what you want from your life, and file a plan with yourself to achieve it. Don't wait for people to open doors for you. Some things you must do for yourself, even if it means you have to indulge in yourself.

You will experience some problems with partnerships until you know where you stand and can state your position honestly. You might feel sorry for yourself or become bitter when matters don't progress exactly the way you want them to, but that's life. The hard knocks are what make the success that follows so precious. Try to maintain a moderate physical pace, for you can't get away with burning the candle at both ends."
