I found a bizarre and contradictory pattern in these charts in that I seem to constantly have Saturn tightly conjunct the Moon with the people I am closest too.

These people include my mother (the most important person in my life), my best friend from childhood, my ex boyfriend and my first deep sexual relationship with a man.

It is only with these four people have I ever been really close to and when I read the Saturn/Moon description, it reads as something debilitating and yet I seem to be drawn to them.

I suppose as time progresses I notice that maybe this aspect manifests in external ways because I have been massively let down by all of these people despite the deep emotional connections I have with them.

My mother had a stroke when I was 15 at a time when she was promising to leave my dad. I felt let down, guilty and held back by this. A Saturn-moon manifestation?

My best friend from childhood rarely contacts me, although this doesn't seem to affect our friendship. We're just very separate from each others lives. I do feel isolated sometimes.

My ex boyfriend led a very different life from me and I often felt like an outsider and uncomfortable in his lifestyle.

The man has been one of my best friends/confidantes for 6 years, even though we've only seen each other 5 times in person. We also live very separate lives and now he lives in a different continent. We were very close and there was a lot of love although he never seemed to have enough time to actually see me or include me in his life. I had my first sexual experience with him a few months before he moved. This entire relationship has left me feeling very lonely and isolated.

The question is, is it possible to be drawn to Saturn-conjunct-moon or generally negative Saturn-orientated relationships?

That's really interesting. I always have the "negative" Saturn aspects in the actual composite chart between me and these people, but the synastry has always been reasonably good. Except...

With the man I lost my virginity to I have his Venus in Scorpio square my Saturn in Aquarius synastry aspect. Our relationship is still pretty deep and to this day he tells me he will always care about me like he should he be there for me.

That would explain why you are attracted/attract Saturnian relationships.

Here are my Saturn related aspects:
Very strong Saturn square Pluto (Scorpio)
Very strong Saturn sextile Moon (Aries)
Very strong Saturn Square Vertex (Scorpio)
Saturn sesquiquadrate Ascendant (Cancer)

I then have an interesting interchange. The ruler of my 7th house (Capricorn) is Saturn. That Saturn is located in the 9th house. The ruler of my 9th house (Aquarius) is Uranus and that is located in my 7th house.

In addition, the ruler of my midheaven (in Pisces) is in my 7th house. I'm not sure if it relates to Saturn but since it's the 10th house, it may be worth the mention?

I've also remembered that my mother's chart is like 85% Capricorn, and the remaining is Scorpio and Virgo.

It's probably one of the main reasons you attract Saturnian relationships, especially with a Moon-Saturn apsect since you have a sextile between those two natally.

If your dominant planets are Moon, Neptune and Mercury, you are probably an emotional person and can be quite idealistic, but at the same time, you have a strong intellect and are able to reason out your feelings.

But the most important part of a chart are still the aspects between the planets, I think. The signs kind of give you the background and the houses give you the area in which the aspects will manifest.

Maybe the Saturn-Moon conjunction you encounter in your close relationships is trying to tell you something, maybe you need to work on your own Saturn-Moon aspect natally (even though you have a sextile, which is an easy aspect).

yes, it's the glue but it didn't last. There must have been times when your emotions were feeling unloved or isolated perhaps?

The man himself had Saturn in Capricorn tightly conjunct my descendant.

What do you think of this?

I don't think *anything* without SEEING charts...LOL

To discuss your mother having a stroke is poss bit unlucky, but the only person holding you back is YOU. The only way to discuss this question is to post your chart, your mothers chart and progression and transits for the date she had this stroke.

losing childhood friends and leading separate lives is the natural growth of aperson and soul. prob has nothing to do with saturn or astrology either. If you feel isolated we need to evaluate your chart in PR forum. what do you have in 11th house, what sign is ruling it?

When you made this list I found it confusing. You mention 3planets
So is venus conj saturn and then square pluto?
The vertex aspect 'only' comes into play in synastry. On it's own in the natal owner it does very little. it could also suggest fated meeting with friends or business contacts, or connected to family members perhaps.

---

No, Venus isn't conjunct Saturn. It has no major aspects other than a NN trine.

No it's definitely bad luck. I didn't mean that everything could be explained by Moon-Saturn conjunction. I just wanted some insight into why it keeps popping up in close relationships when it's an alienating aspect. I usually read simple computer-generated reports and I don't know how to put it together. I know absolutely nothing about progression charts although I've heard of them. A progression/transit chart during the time of my mothers illness (and some help reading it) is something I would definitely be interested in. How can I get one?

I suppose, yeah. 11th house in Aries with my Moon in Aries in it...

Moon Saturn hard aspects often create an emotional barrier between two people, like a distance.. Sometimes both people want to get closer to each other but it's not possible due to external factors or their own insecurities. It's a difficult configuration to deal with, because it requires maturity and self-sufficiency, but it does bind people.
