I remember you mentioning the unaspected(basically) moon a long time ago.
I remembered what you said.
You need someone to give you BACK your emotions--right?
A question?
Does it last?
Or do you need someone else to do it again?
IOW, is your emotional nature lost to you without an outside person aspecting it?
I ask cuz I wonder about my Venus?
I have felt deep love for very few people.
Only when the Venus is aspected--I think.
Perhaps it doesn't last--like an amputated limb--not to use a bad analogy lol--but it may be an apt one.

sometimes I feel like you want to put me under a magnifying glass, almost like an investigation.

I try to answer your questions.

"You need someone to give you BACK your emotions--right?"
Well, I don`t remember having said that, but it sounds like me. Even though, what the hell did I mean? :scratches head: Sometimes these things get lost on me.

Anyway, what I probably meant is that it is easier to get access to my emotions, if someone turns their and my focus on them. Those are still my emotions, and it is me who feels them, but sometimes I am just not aware of them. And at other times I am VERY emotional. Sometimes in a detached Aquarian way, sometimes almost as clingy as a Cancer.
But other people often see my emotions more easily than I do myself. For example my bestr friend (who has a Cancer ASC btw - and it is shocking, how many of my friends have Cancer-ASC, even my mum has one!) always tells me how caring I am and how motherly I can be (if I am not in my defensive mode), giving other people, especially children a feeling of security. And I never even saw that! She insists it`s true, so I have to trust her in that I guess.

"Or do you need someone else to do it again?"
Hmm, from time to time I need a reminder, yes. But it is not like I am dependent on someone else. My emotions are part of myself, of course. Just it is easier if someone tells me to take a good look at them, and not running away from them for a change.

For example: usually other people know earlier when I have fallen in love, than I know or can admit myself - but that is probably more a Cappy-Venus thing.

"IOW, is your emotional nature lost to you without an outside person aspecting it?"
No, it`s not lost. It is actually very strong. But not reliable. Sometimes it`s fully there, emotionally to the core, and at other times it is very much in the background, and I hardly know what I am feeling.
It is easier when another person aspects my Moon, and it is harder, cause they confront me with my emotions all the time.
I think unaspected planets are not stable. Either they express the quality in very dominant way, or they seem to be sleeping and not existant, and that can change from moment to moment. It`s a big up and down, and they seem to have a life on their own, without other planets meddling in. Pure Moon in Aquarius in my case.
No Saturn who tellsm me: "Restrain yourself. Be responsible."
No Venus who sais: "You have to make comprimises so others will not object to your emotional expresses."
No Mars who sais: "Get active now."
It is only Moon. So if I am in moon-mood, I am only in my Moon and nowwhere else. But it also means that my Moon, my emotions, do not meddle in with my mind for example (no aspects to MErcury). Actually my Moon is quintile my Mars though. lol

And my Moon is parallel Uranus and Pluto. So who knows how unaspected it really is.

"Only when the Venus is aspected--I think.
Perhaps it doesn't last--like an amputated limb--not to use a bad analogy lol--but it may be an apt one."
I don`t think that is because of the unaspectedness though.

I am trying to formulate a thought about house energy vs planet energy.
It may be all wet.
I am thinking house energy may let you express the planet in a practical real world way such as DOING Venus activities
I am very Venus acting but don't feel Venus unless someone aspects it.
So, I love to have a friend come over, make them a beautiful meal, have them eat it while I play the guitar for them.
This would be a Venus ACTIVITY but I don't feel Venus LOVE (FEELING) unless my Venus gets aspected which it is now by a man.

This may be all wet but I wanted to share it cuz perhaps it has some merit.

PS I have no earth planets but two planets in an earth house--10th house.
So, I am wondering HOW I can get more earth in to my life by these house energies.
Perhaps by focusing on the little earth I DO have, I can access it better--is my point.

PS Throw this WHOLE post out if it smacks of craziness.

I agree.

But I think that is valid for all planets and houses, not just the unaspected ones.

I am thinking ,again, of my unaspected Venus in the 7th house.
I DO Venus activities very comfortably--on the earth--but do not feel love unless someone aspects it--- heart love.

So, I think about the 10th house where I have Pluto and Jupiter.
It is the house of society and career.
I have no earth other than these two planets in an earth house.
So, I CAN act in a practical way in life--not flighty --but I really don't FEEL grounded on the earth.
I must DO the earth activities like I do the Venus ones but I don't feel them.
I just know they are right.
