Moon square Venus Your Emotional/Subconscious Function is in Conflict you’re
Your Evaluative/Relationship Function
This is a problematic aspect with regard to your emotional makeup, since it places two levels of emotional processing in conflict with each other. The Moon symbolizes the basic, underlying emotional character that is grounded in the subconscious. Venus symbolizes how these emotions are sometimes used in the manifest world—to react with likes and dislikes and personally evaluate one’s environment, and to form bonds of emotional attachment in order to form lasting relationships. With these two levels of the emotional functioning in conflict, there is not a smooth flowing of emotional energy from its roots in the subconscious to its expression and manifestation as relationship between you and people or objects. In fact, you are likely to be emotionally attracted to those very people and things to which your subconscious reacts negatively, thus causing dissonance and inner, emotional conflict.
Very often, your feelings attract you to what your behavioral conditioning and subconscious messages tell you are wrong for you. This is likely to cause guilt and lack of self-confidence when it comes to expressing your tastes and preferences and engaging in relationships. The conflict may be externalized in the form of your family’s opposition (particularly your mother’s) to your selection of a life-partner. You may also find yourself caught between your spouse and your parents, or may experience conflict with the one on account of the other.
You may also experience your family’s opposition to your value system and, less momentously, to your tastes and preferences. Thus, you may be driven to separate from your family, at least emotionally, or to individuate from your family background, finding your own values, creating your own aesthetic environment, and forming your own relationships.
If the domination of family and conditioning is strong, however, you may experience a great deal of insecurity and self-doubt with respect to your values, preferences and relationships. You may not trust your feelings, because whenever you allow yourself to experience your feelings, you are confronted by the shadow-voice of your mother (family or culture) seeking to deny the validity of your feelings. This makes emotional expression difficult and you may respond by shutting down your feelings and affections, rather than having to experience the conflict and guilt that comes about by expressing them.
When you seek to express your emotions at a more basic level, or when you opt for that which is comfortable and secure, you may feel that you are not being true to yourself—that is, true to your values. Subconscious levels of emotional release may, thus, also be blocked for you. Because of the inner conflict that occurs whenever you try to express or feel emotion or attachment, when your emotions are engaged you may tend to express them in a negative way.
Your relationships may be clingy and controlled by your need for emotional and/or physical security. Your sense of balance and harmony may be distorted by your subconscious needs and your emotionality may reflect that distorted sense of balance. You may also find that your relationships are dominated by conditioning received through your mother (family/culture) that is often negative. One result is that it is difficult for you to form relationships in which deep-rooted emotions are allowed to play a part.
Rising to the Challenge and Transcendent Potential
The challenge presented by Moon square Venus is for you to rise above both your conditioning and your attachment to pleasure and pain. You have realized that we are all conditioned to avoid pain and covet pleasure and are, thus, driven by our subconscious associations with past pleasure and pain. You have also realized that pleasure and pain are cyclical, pain followed by pleasure and pleasure leading to pain. To break this cycle, you have risen above this conditioned attachment to pleasure and pain.
In your relationships, concern for your own security and comfort and for the domination of your own preferences and values has been replaced by compassion and empathy. Affection is given without possession. You have given great value to the personal dimensions of life, not for your own satisfaction, but for the comfort and pleasure that it gives to others. You are not attached to the personal, but engage in it with your full attention and consciousness.
You have gone through an objectification of your values, separating out what is real from what is merely conventional. At the same time, you have recognized and retained the true essence of what you have inherited from your collective past and you have given this its place in the value system that you have identified as real.
Insecurity
You remain in unresolved emotional conflict, being unwilling to give up any of the behaviors, attitudes, preferences or feelings to which you are attached. You are consumed with protecting yourself emotionally and safeguarding your emotional security to the extent that you are unable to truly share your emotions and feelings with others. Relationships, in general, present a dilemma for you and tend to be messy emotionally.
The conditioning, subconscious emotional expression and behavior patterns that you exhibit tend to cause problems in your relationships. Since you are likely to be defensive about your own personal characteristics, rather than seek to change and accommodate to your partner, these tend to become issues within the relationship. Your relationships are, therefore, frequently characterized by irrational, emotional behavior that is driven by your subconscious impulses and mood swings. At the same time, you feel emotionally unsatisfied, because a relationship, in which there is not a complete sense of sharing or trust, can never fulfill your needs for emotional security, comfort and care.
