I love it. 
No, really. Well not loving it, maybe, but...
I have that with my best friend. My Saturn squares her Moon (orb: 1); her Saturn opposes my Moon widely (orb: 5); we have been friends for 20 years now.
No, it wasn`t always easy; we had to struggle against some personal inner demons, and I think we DID hurt each other now and then.
But somehow we always understood that this "hurting" was never a personal attack of the other, but an attempt of selfdefense.
I guess she suffered more because of my initial (read: initial YEARS) defensiveness and withdrawing into myself, keeping her out of my inner life, yet being there for her with her emotional troubles, offering a more "objective" point of view (as objective as one can be 
).
We really have been sticking together through thick and thin, and nothing could separate us, even though we are similiar and very different as the same time; actually people are always surprised when they learn we are friends, because we seem so different.
And they are almost shocked, when they learn that we are STILL friends, after so many years.
We met at a music school, then met again on university, after that each of us went into another city for their teacher in training years - and these years usually kill most relationships, romantic as well as friendship ones, - and yes they put a strain on our friendship, as we just didn`t have all that much contact anymore.
And after that each of us went to a different school, a different city, which could have made us drift apart, too.
On top of that she now has become a mother, while I am single and childless - something that often makes people drift apart, too, as their lives are just taking a different direction.
But our friendship, even though it is constantly changing, doesn`t waver.
And I believe the Moon-Saturn aspects are one reason that we stick to it almost religiously; in a way we are more family than friends.
But I am odd. my longest emotional connections or relationships have a strong aspect between Saturn and Sun or Saturn and Moon, and usually it`s the square.
I think though with this aspect there is a risk of getting hurt.
The Moon person - involuntarily- triggers the SAturn person`s "weakest spot" (or what Saturn considers to be that weak spot); Saturn could then hectically try to hide that "deficiency" inside, getting defensive, and withdrawing into their shell (to not let the Moon see their "shame").
They may be scared as it is so easy for the Moon to flow through their facades and shell.
And if Saturn is scarred and scared (and he very often is), they might lash out at the Moon in advance, or getting cold, defensive, trying to get some control over the Moon`s emotions.
It all happens from a place where they are scared because they feel touched very deeply emotionally, and probably SAturn needs Moon very badly. Saturn and Moon are a "pair" so to speak.
First of all Capricorn and Cancer are on opposite sides of the zodiac, indicating this magnetism.
Then Moon is the fastest planet, Saturn is the slowest one. Moon takes 28 days to complete a cycle, Saturn takes 28 years.
They are framing the personal planets. In a way they ARE the frame of "personal life" - everything afte rSaturn is more evolutionary than personal.
They deeply need each other.
Saturn needs the emotional openness of the Moon, the receptivity, and the emotional understanding. This: "I accept you for who you are, despite of what you consider your weakness". If Saturn can accept that, the healing might begin.
Moon needs the more structured, factured, mature approach of Saturn. Especially if Moon is caught up in an emotional circle of subjectivity and feeling depressed and this feeling of: "Noone understands me. And everyone is doing anything to put me down.", Saturn can tell Moon, that they are not the centre of every person`s world; and that people usually have other things to do than destroying poor Moon, as they are occupied with their own lives. (of course Moon might pout a little, as it is nothing that Moon likes to hear; but in a way SAturn may soothe and calm Moon down).
Plus Saturn offers a reliability and neverending support, and a more balanced being, something that might give Moon much hold.
Question is: can people accept the offer they are being given?
