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.

That's Moon/Saturn.
It's not a Sag thing.
My sister is a Sag with Moon-Saturn and she's exactly like that.
It's about RESERVE, I think, and the need of Saturn to be in control.
But it's a good pair in the end. Moon/Saturn are the archetype of the Cancer/Capricorn axis: the Mother and the Father. A true teacher in emotional matters.

I noticed I tend to turn into a zombie when I'm exhuasted in the sleep-deprived style. Other than that I have emotions most of the time and I think I understand them but I also ignore or repress them sometimes. I too consider them my weakness. I tend to control my expression. When I happen to be emotionless it feels empty indeed but there are moments when I enjoy it a lot. Thought over emotion, weee...lol. Maybe I'm too into Spock I have Uranus in the 4th which probably helps me detach when I need it.

I have Moon trine Saturn and Moon opposition Pluto… just starting to realize now how often I bottle my emotions. I like to come off cool and logical more often than having emotions. Being emotional feels immature to me and I get embarrassed when I lose it (but not what I say WHEN I lose it, kinda weird.)

Oh yeah. I would hate to be seen or even heard when I cry, especially when it comes to my family. Fortunately I'm good at hiding it. I lost it in front of my father about 3 years ago but I had no place to hide. I still got angry with myself because of that.

I feel isolated socially.

My moon is in the 3rd house and transiting Saturn trines it in the 7th house.

I just feel really alone right now!

I have Moon opposite Saturn and I understand what you're saying. I don't necessarily think that I don't understand emotions, I don't know how exactly I'd describe it. I feel like it's my duty to be like "the rock" or the self-contained one or something, like you said, but I don't do it because I'm afraid anyone will take advantage of my feelings/emotions, or out of fear of being seen as weak. I've never been dramatic or very forthcoming with my emotions, even when I was a toddler. My parents/grandparents always tell me that it was very rare for me to have a tantrum and whenever I did get upset/angry I'd quietly shed a few tears and self-soothe & that would be the end of it.


Leo moon (11th house) opposite Aqua saturn (5th house)
and I also have chiron conjunct moon

I have moon square saturn . I don't like any self/emotional expression and I get depressive easily when I'm in a wrong environment. But I'm a drama type person , when I show it , it will be extreme but I don't like to show it as much. Maybe it's my scorp.mercury things.

My 8th house Moon squares my 12th house Saturn and I have a VERY emotional mother I would never understand......

Sometimes I see her as too weak and emotional and I can see the square between my Moon and Saturn can be an indicator of this

I have an Aquarius rising as well, so although I too have emotions it takes a while for me to properly express them..

All LOVE though!!! :-D

I have moon square saturn. I can't exactly ignore my emotions as my moon is in scorpio, but I do bury and hide them a lot so others can't see.

Moon trine Saturn

I'm actually pretty in touch with my emotions but I do NOT like people seeing me get emotional or cry. I can only do these by myself.

I have Moon in Pisces opposite Saturn in Virgo by 3 degrees, and I'm definitely not emotionless nor do I hide my emotions. Quite the opposite, actually. Probably also has something to do with Mars in Scorpio.

OTOH, I do think most people think the fact I'm so emotional and passionate is a weakness.

Moon (Gemini in 1st) square Saturn (Aquarius in 11th). I hide my emotions from everyone, including myself sometimes. I've had a very rough past and upbringing, so I'm no stranger to pain and struggle, but I'm numb more often than not. "Comfortably numb". Lol. I'm consistently being lectured by my friends to allow myself to feel, and express and show my emotions, but I'd rather not. It almost feels like I don't know how to let them out. I do understand emotions though, as I'm a Neuroscience/Psych double major. So I guess it's an even bigger paradox. Even though I'm in touch with them and can pinpoint them, I still don't like showing them. I guess like previous posters have said.. I just fear being viewed as weak, when it fact, it's just being human.

Moon opposite Pluto (Scorpio in 7th). Although I don't show them or speak about them, my emotions are very intense. Another large reason why I kind of brush them under the rug and say I'll deal with them later.. Never get around to dealing with them though. So they come out in ugly ways. Lol.

It's usually just the darker, more intense emotions that I hide from others because I'm afraid of burdening them or scaring them away with my intensity. Smaller emotions like aggravation, small bouts of happiness, excitement or anxiety, I'll openly show.

Aw, Cappy, I'm exactly like you. The thing is I also cry when reading books or watching movies so I have to make sure I'm alone when doing so. My Moon trine Saturn but Saturn in 8th house, so...

I have Sun square Saturn, moon trine Saturn, Venus trine Saturn, and mars square Saturn Natally and people tell me all the time I'm heartless or I have no emotions which is impossible to believe with my Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Pluto, and Desecendant in Scorpio! I also have mars conjunct pluto, mars opposite ascendant, and Sun conjunct pluto Natally along with a tight uranus square to my moon as well. I am series of complex contradictions so the fluctuation in my emotions and emotional drama can drive even me crazy sometimes! I'm guessing the change in my emotions mixed in with the coldness of all that Saturnian energy would give others the impression that I am emotionless regardless of how I see it.

Me too, but I don't have Moon/Saturn so it must stem from something else -- I have Gemini Moon with a square to Pluto plus Saturn quintile Ascendant -- this aspect causes self-contained/inhibited people so its probably that.

I rather fall off a cliff than cry or carry on in front of people. I have deep emotion and sense everything but I keep myself well contained so no one sees it. I hate pity and people feeling sorry for me... But one of the bad traits of having a Mars in Cancer is that when you get really, really mad and frustrated you can start crying and looking weak even my Gemini Moon can't control it. To prevent this from happening to me I don't get in heated arguments that way I remain in control and I stay rational or I will walk away, I learned this when I was a little girl and it has helped. Cancer Mars sucks when it comes to frustration it can be all over the place, you have to discipline this Mars early or it can cause very embarrassing situations.

I understand emotions, even tell other people that they need to express themselves, but when it comes to myself I'm a big old hypocrite.

Hehe, we're more similar than you think I'm embarrassed to admit but I tend to cry during movies too. Mostly death scenes do this to me. Currently I watch everything on my own so it's not a problem.

I bet this is probably why I have a hard time with my emotions. I have Moon parallel Saturn I just don't like people getting close to me.

Husband: Taurus Moon + Saturn 2H= can be stone cold and completely shut down all emotions when he feels “threatened”.

Me: Cap Moon 5H op Leo Saturn = I will show you all emotions (Mars conj Asc ??) and am very assertive UNLESS you have deserved my hatred. Then I’ll be just as cold as my husband and probably even worse.
I am not afraid to show “weakness” or anger. I don’t deal well with drama though as it’s too much of a “bad trip” for me.

I think its an impediment to block feelins

I try to work through my Moon/Saturn trine. Its not natural to withhold the expression of affection. Because inevitability you also block it.

The same is true with Venus/Saturn aspects. Let love live!!!

So what I do is express it in subtle ways. I think the aspect allows for that. Nothing ostentatious or pretentious. Just something real.

My ex and I both had Saturn-Moon aspects. And we told each other how we felt in very subtle ways.

At times he would caress my hand. Or sometimes brush my lower back when sitting next to me.

His Cap Moon square his Saturn in Libra.

As a child, I experienced emotions normally, but when I was around 12 or 13, my emotions started becoming a bit muted. Around 15 until I was 23, I was not in touch with my emotions properly and I had trouble even pinpointing when I was feeling anything. One of my old therapists would try to get me to feel my emotions and I wouldn't be able to do it. It was like I felt absolutely nothing.

There was a small time frame at 19 during which I was completely numb after a break-up and this numbness was so bad I didn't care about anyone or anything and I had to rely on my memories to know how to behave around others. Before this time being numb, I hated emotions and I didn't want them. The whole experience of not having emotions at all for a while disturbed me greatly, though I'm still very, very selective with who gets to see me vulnerable. I hate whenever I cry in front of others and I try my absolute best to avoid being overly emotional in public. Regardless, after I recovered from being numb, I never wanted to lose my emotions like that again. They still weren't pleasant to have, but I realized emotions are part of being human and you can't enjoy anything, feel pleasure, or feel human at all without them.

In 2017, while Saturn was opposing my Moon in Gemini, I developed anhedonia. My emotions were muted for around 3 months and were nearly completely muted by April. After I managed to reverse my anhedonia, I spent a few months feeling things normally, but on January 1st, I started feeling emotionally muted again, just a more peaceful, calming kind of muted and my emotions are still there able to be felt. They're only not as uncontrollable as they had been before some of 2015 and all of 2016.

I'm not sure anything astrologically points to my experience with emotions. I know Moon in Gemini isn't known for being very emotional yet my Moon is in 8th house with a bi-quintile from Pluto and a square from Mars. Saturn makes a square with my Sun but not my Moon so it isn't Saturn that's doing anything. Uranus isn't aspecting my Moon either.

Even though I'm not here saying feeling emotions is showing weakness or is otherwise embarrassing and inappropriate, to some extent I believe that I view emotions like this. It doesn't mean I'm never willing to be weak or that I'm never vulnerable with anyone. All it means honestly is I'm not as comfortable with my emotions as much as you'd expect based on the things I've said so far. I think part of my issue is I don't like being viewed as emotional and I don't think anyone even cares about my feelings thus I hide them. Either way, emotions don't always make sense and this defnitely doesn't help.

While emotions aren't supposed to be straightforward and easy to understand and all that, emotions do tend to have a trigger that results in someone feeling something. Sometimes I feel "negative" emotions without any such trigger and it's confusing, especially since without knowledge of the trigger I occasionally have trouble calming myself down by dealing with the source of the conflict in a mature fashion. Lately, I've been feeling stressed out a lot too. Emotions don't have to make sense and this is probably why they make me uncomfortable.

At least I'm able to enjoy things again.
