I've definitely felt Saturn restrict my ability to communicate my feelings/emotions when they are minor/mild. It feels like there is a barrier between my emotions and the outside world, with me right in the middle serving as a gatekeeper who often (and sometimes what feels like against my will), rejects what emotions are allowed to pass into the world.

With that being said, when my feelings/emotions are more intense (whether good or bad) they burst out of me rapidly, with no restraint felt on my part. Even my ability to communicate effectively is seemingly improved in those moments, as if the energy associated with that caliber of intensity gives me a mental boost in order to find any and all words I need to express myself. I suppose this can be attributed to all the Aries energy, so it doesn't have much to do with the Moon-Saturn aspect.

Given that this all takes place in the 1st House, with Saturn being 6 degrees away from my Ascendant, this makes me *come off as though I am extremely calm with hints of seriousness all the time, which actually is true, but with my Moon in the 1st House I do feel my external environment's influence on me very deeply, with a level of awareness to match.

I don't think Saturn in aspect to Moon prevents people from feeling emotions, but it can make it more difficult to express emotions. This can lead to a lack of understanding of one's emotions, and subsequently developing reticence, because these people do not get as much practice in expressing there emotions to begin with, so they don't have the necessary data from experience to know what their emotions actually are/can be after being expressed. It creates for a very uncomfortable internal standpoint when it comes to emotions. Also, given that the Moon represents the mother, I know from personal experience that my mom did not readily express deep emotions, so I never learned that as a behavior from her. It led to the expression of deep emotions being foreign to me, that is until my first deep relationships, when I began to feel for other people and learn from them. I'm still not the best when it comes to expressing my deepest emotions, but I've made large strides in improvement.

Anyone with this aspect just feel like they dont have or understand emotions properly, i feel as hard as a rock. Being a sag i really dont like to show my emotions because i see it as a weakness, or makes me look so insecure to other people, or im just scared people will take advantage. At the same time it kind of feels like i have to show my emotions so people understand me better, but im scared of showing them. Saturn is in my 4th further emphasizing this emotionless person. I feel empty alot.

Moon in Scorpio and Moon square Saturn. I got positive minor aspects to my moon to counteract this but I still feel my Moon square Saturn parts.

I don't think we have a problem feeling emotions we have a problem showing it. Definitely view emotions as a weakness but it's a strength when used in a positive, effective way.

Emotions is your mind, body, conscious physical and subconscious nonphysical realms communicating with you. Listen to it. Don't run from it but don't let it take over you. Also you don't need to show everyone, only the people you trust.

One thing I think is both mars and saturns doing is; when I'm very upset about something I may shut down on the outside, (but in the inside I will be screaming almost) until I have processed things, accepted them etc, then and this is saturn mars I think, I have to make up "strategies" on what to do next. And I have to go through step for step what I made wrong etc. That way I would say I'm very resillient. I always give time to myself to grieve and be upset and angry etc, I don't repress my feelings at all. . Then when I'm done I pick myself up and make up coping strategies, and it dwpwnds on the matter what type it ia. But I need order and action.

Also I have to talk about my emotions! (Gemini moon) Its when I can't talk about them that I go silent and putting up walls until I processed things.

The problem is partly that others tend to expect more emotion(al drama) from some of us when we don't want to be players in someone else's soap opera. We want to grow to a place where we know we can take some emotional risks without finding daggers in our backs or in their hands. Looking back, I don't have any regret or other-wishing for this during my adolescence. Children and teens can be unbelievably cruel. I got out of high school without my heart broken or my dreams about women shattered -- very important since I'm heterosexual and just a bit of a woman worshiper.

It is not that we ignore our emotions, but that we don't express them for the entertainment or gossip of others. We tend to want to grow and develop a more worthwhile experience in those areas of life where personal feelings matter most.

IF these Saturn influences upon Moon become too strong and you feel empty, numb, etc, then it has been taken too far -- the suppression or lack of openness and warmth with others. Time to start outgrowing that too.
