Moon Opposite or Square Uranus
People with these aspects in their natal chart are studies in contradiction. When they are able to fulfill their emotional needs for closeness, support, and intimacy, another part of their personality rebels. They feel closed in, restricted, and uncomfortable with feelings of dependency. However, when they are left alone on an emotional level, they can feel left out. They begin to crave closeness and intimacy once again. They keep people at an emotional arm's length often enough, yet struggle with their emotional independence.

Daily routines feel too stifling for these individuals. They need to mix things up in order to feel creative and emotionally vital. Inconsistency is a result, and some level of domestic disorder is almost a guarantee. Living with them can be challenging for more orderly and systematic people!

People with Moon-Uranus hard aspects despise emotional pretense. They are adamant about expressing themselves honestly, which generally translates to "sporadically". If they don't "feel it", they simply won't do it. It can be challenging to pin them down at times--they will feel cornered. Don't take it too personally, however, because they not only rebel against your schedules, they rebel against their own as well! The fact is, when they try to bring more order to their lives, it can be hard to stick to a program, even if they were the ones who designed the program.

Their insistence on following their own intuition and "inner code" is admirable on one hand. In fact, they are generally quite proud of their emotional honesty. However, this honesty can be difficult for others to deal with at times. They are sometimes accused of selfishness as a result, although they don't see it that way at all. They are generally very creative people, although their creative output is sporadic. Whenever Uranus is strongly connected to a personal planet in the natal chart, you'll find this "stop-and-start" energy simply because these people live on intuition. Uranus intuition is not the same as Neptune intuition--it's more self-focused and has to do with being true to oneself.

More often than not, Moon-Uranus people had unusual early home lives. They may have been given an unusual amount of freedom as a child, or the converse. Whichever was the case, they insist upon a certain level of personal freedom as adults. Their experience of their mother figure may have also been erratic in the expression of nurture.

These people attract changes and disruptions into their domestic lives. They may not enjoy this fact, but if this is the case, they must examine their lives a little more closely. Consider a person who thinks to himself, "hey, my life has become pretty routine--even boring" and then shortly thereafter his life takes a sharp turn. The crises that he now faces may not seem like something he has literally asked for. However, with the Moon in hard aspect to Uranus, the basic energy is a basic need for emotional excitement. We may live with this basic need and not even recognize it. If we don't own it, we can attract upsetting emotional situations and disruptions into our lives. It's hard to know whether Moon-Uranus people embrace changes (these ones move house often, re-arrange their homes frequently, mix up their domestic routines every once in a while, and so forth) or resist them stubbornly. One thing is certain, however: the happiest people with this natal chart aspect recognize their need to do things differently with regards to how they approach family and home life.

Alternate, short interpretation: Moon square Uranus and Moon opposition Uranus: You crave excitement, change, and discovery, and cannot tolerate a routine or lifestyle that offers little in the way of surprise or challenge. Excitable, spontaneous, and enthusiastic about anything new, you may be perceived by others as being too impulsive, especially in personal relationships. It is not easy for you to make or keep commitments, since you don't know how you will be feeling from one day to the next. Emotional freedom is very important to you. Your domestic life can be very unstable - but you like it that way.

Alternate Karmic Insight interpretation: In your incarnational past there was a great deal of upheaval and sudden change, possibly precipitated by political or social shifts. You were forced to choose between your home and all that was familiar, versus freedom or your ideals. You became very adaptable, living moment to moment, and there was very little of a solid, enduring home-base. You lived a somewhat unorthodox and unpredictable life which, while insecure and uncertain in many respects, did afford you a lot of freedom and wild adventures. (The pattern of frequent change, movement and upsets in the home may or may not have been repeated early in your current life).

The carry over from that time into the present is a peculiar, emotional excitability and a highly, restless emotional state which at times can lead to extreme nervous strain and exhaustion. Along with this is a craving for stimulation and a taste for the new, bizarre, even perverse. You may feel that you were not meant for a "straight", conventional, tranquil existence, even if you long at times for the comforts such a lifestyle seems to provide. A desire for total emotional freedom and release from past conditioning and inhibitions may compel you to make a nearly-total break from your family or heritage, to the point of adopting a new name, religion, or lifestyle than the one you were raised with. All of this may serve you well - to a point. Beware, however, of becoming an extremist and trying to rid yourself of everything in your past, "throwing the baby out with the bath water" so to speak, as this will cut you off from important aspects of yourself.

This urge for emotional freedom and excitement can also interfere with your establishment of deep, ongoing relationships. You fear being trapped in monotony and boredom if you commit yourself to a permanent relationship. Any long-term relationship you form must have a lot of personal space and room to change and to be spontaneous.

When out of balance you can become very ungrounded and are prone to emotional swings. Positively, you can be very inspired, musically or artistically or in other ways. When balanced you have a great sense of rhythm, and your spontaneous intuitive insights and impulses are apt to be right on the mark.

Women with this aspect (from the Astrology Profile for Women report): Your Moon is in opposition aspect to Uranus, adding a high level of unpredictability to your emotional nature and a need for personal independence. You need excitement, change and distraction, but at levels you can tolerate without totally disrupting your life. You may also be more comfortable when you're independent, instead of being tied to a set schedule, a certain role or a particular list of demands. As an independent woman, you are more likely to tolerate commitments. If you're expected or demanded to do certain things, you may just rebel for the sake of rebellion. After all, you're an individual! There may be other planetary aspects in your chart which add a level of focus and stability to your life, but this influence alone can disrupt even the best laid plans! At the level of your soul you cry out to be seen and accepted for who you are, unconditionally. That acceptance must first come from within yourself.

This influence also indicates the possibility of higher than normal fluctuations in hormonal levels, which can also stimulate more profound emotional changeability. Those who are close to you probably recognize a cyclical level to your alterations in mood, and you can probably tie them to a cycle yourself if you pay attention. You may or may not decide to choose motherhood as an option, and may be more comfortable in non-traditional relationships. To maintain a relationship you need plenty of room to be yourself. And to be the kind of mother you want to be, you need to develop a supportive relationship with your children which has some levels of consistency. You may relate to teen-agers more easily than to small children.

...Moon square/oppo Uranus people...Frankly I am quite tired of craving emotional closeness, then when I get it I feel too suffocated. And I am tired of attracting unavailable men!

Once you are aware of the "downside" of an aspect, you can begin to take steps to make certain those things don't occur in your life. Since you know that your craving for emotional closeness is an illusion (i.e., "...when I get it I feel too suffocated...") then when you feel the "craving" you can remind yourself that it is just an illusion of your mind...let go of the craving feeling. Similarly, now that you know that you may track unavailable men...ask a LOT of questions about a man's availability before going too far down the "dating road"!

Practically astrological,

I have the Moon/Uranus square and that holds true for me, but It isn't because I crave change or excitement.
Its more like that's what life gives me so I try and make the best of it.

I have my Moon in the 7th house in Aries opposed to my Uranus in my 1st house in Libra. Add to that a nice and tight square from my Mercury in Cappy in the 4th house... well.. you get the picture.

In truth, when you do discover the downside of this aspect you learn to deal with it. I found that I was manifesting the dark park of the moon / opposed uranus aspect by becoming involved with emotional unavailable or toxic men- not always, but there were enough traits in that person that kept me from ever becoming too tied up or I guess I was always aware that there was a potential for it not to work.

Instead of wanting to be close only to want to push them away- I neither wanted them close nor away - both made me equally disatisfied and I would again become single (and loved it).

Then I had to go and meet this Leo man that dissolved all those barriers and I love him being close, I don't feel smothered and I hate when he's away.

Also, watch for other people's planets interacting with your moon-opposed / square uranus. It seems to sit something off so that one can feel even more uncomfortable. I had an ex who's Venus / Saturn in Cancer completed my T-square that I mentioned. Add that my Mercury also completed his T-square and all of our planets were beating the hell out of each other and it was combustible. Ewww...

Thanks for mentioning taking note of others' planets interacting with mine. I did not think of this! I checked out my transits, not much there.

Just had to let you know.....duh! Blond moment for me!

The unavailable man who is giving me the most grief at present is a Taurus Sun, who closely conjuncts my Taurus moon and squares all of my other stuff. My Pisces sun widley conjuncts his Saturn and his Neptune opposes widely my Moon. EEKS! My Pluto conjuncts his Uranus and Mars.

Hippichick: You are so spot on. The interpretation you gave of this opposition is something I have experienced. It is particularly true when the opposition is in the 1st/7th House. These people CRAVE union, but have no skills whatsoever of how to go about it. Reject- repel, and constantly attract. They NEED to attract. Once they do, they hie off to the furthest mountain. And say SEE YA!

Chiemi, could you elaborate a bit what you said? Why are you running? What do you feel while you are doing this? Do you miss the other person while you are m.i.a?

The guy I like (translation: am crazy about) has Moon-Uranus opposition by 1 degree and he is behaving like this.

Well for me personally especially lately, I run because I start to think that they won't like me, or that it won't last or even be worth it, or a bunch of other excuses (sad I know but its a work in progress. I don't know if this comes from my moon/uranus opposition or something else in my chart but that's usually how I am when I pull away. I do miss the person though.
