My parents have a composite Cancer Moon (14 degree) in 12th house, widely trine Jupiter on 9 Pisces in 8th house.This composite Moon conjuncts my Mum`s Uranus on 13.58 Cancer in 1st house, and conjuncts her ASC on about 12 Cancer.
First of all my parents are "joined at the hip". Even though both are quite intellectual types on their own, they share a very deep emotional bond. They have vastly different temperaments though (my Dad is more talkative and more playful), who sometimes clash, they seem to be unable to really be apart from each other.
On a superficial level it might be curious how they made it for so long (though they do look like quite a harmonious couple) despite their temperamental differences (Sun-Sun-square. Aquarius vs Scorpio) - and I think 40 years are a long time, and pretty much always together, never been away from each other longer than a couple of days, and that was just happening cause some job-involvement of my Dad, and they hated it both.
However despite their differences, there is this emotional bond, that is ust a given.
But with all that emotional closeness and maybe also emotional dependence on each other, my mum does not always welcome it. On the one hand she does, and can`t be without my Dad, on the other hand she sometimes complains about that, that she can never be on her own, that he is always there. But if he is not, she suffers.
It is that Uranus-ASC-restlessness that sometimes comes up (no wonder she married an Aquarius,r ight? ).
My Dad then usually packs their suitcase and takes her onto a trip to who knows where, cause that makes her happy everytime. Being with him somewhere else,w ithout the responsibilities of a family. She takes her responsibilities TOO serious as a matter of fact, and that sometimes feels heavy to her. Not him, but the extended family-obligations. (thta only she really perceives as such; but her mother died when she was 17 and she had to take care - togetherw ith her Dad- of her 3 youngers siblings, the youngest being about 2 at that time - she can`t help it, she will always feel responsible, as this is what life has given her as a task at such a young age, and later then she gave birth to my brother, who has the Down syndrome, she will never be able to be really free from feeling responsible, no matter how much we support her, it is ingrained in her psyche).
Anyway, yes, I suppose sometimes it might feel a bit too close to her, and yet she needs that closeness on the other hand.
