The Sun for me is that part of us that we are not afraid of consciously showing, even if "unpopular".When there is a trine aspect to Saturn, the individual may project a lot of Cap traits i.e sober, cynical, responsible, cutting sense of humor, mature and likes to take on the leadership role etc.
These are qualities(unlike the Asc) that they readily associate with, feel like they have a sense of control over and want to be known for. They mean business and are the types who want to always get their ducks in a row.
With the Moon,it is how we like to be nurtured, what we think "tenderness" is(together with Venus), how we feel loved or translate what "love" is to us(Venus too) and also how we experience life from a subjective point of view.
Moon square Saturn often suggests that we have a filter that is somewhat "clogged"(square) in receiving or feeling loved/tenderness(Moon).
We tend to wards being "blocked" when it comes to understanding other people's emotional expression- because ours have also been stifled. And may even think of tender emotions as "silly" or frivolous.
Because the Moon is also life experience, it may translate to our physical body language and facial expression(especially if it aspects the Asc or the Asc ruler)
So Moon/Saturn square may have a "defensive" or "back off" body language i.e fold their arms a lot,close their legs, put hands in their pocket,not smile a lot,find it difficult to sustain a social/light conversation, a tendency towards looking serious/intense, a tendency to frowning or looking worried etc.
Usually this also translates to actual life experience with one of the parents(Moon); maybe the mother(especially) was not attentive or didn't express words like "I love you" and "you matter to me" etc. So the individual may have gotten emotional cues that in order to "deserve" attention from the parents, they would have to act responsible and be mature(Saturn) etc.
Perhaps however, the parents were super critical/strict(Saturn) often stifling the individuals emotional expression to a point where they don't know how to feel or don't want to feel i.e deal with emotions that involve being vulnerable, scared, open and tender etc.
Usually our Moon traits are carried over to adulthood and with Moon/Saturn square,there is a tendency for one to view life experiences from a cynical or skeptical point of view i.e the glass is always half empty, not all the clothes come out of the wash, one can never be "over prepared" for the unexpected etc.
These people tend towards having emotional resources to deal with the harshness of life and the storms that come with it etc. But find it very challenging to just relax and let go so a strongly conservative streak often permeates itself through them to a point where others pick up on it and either make them the "authority" or see them as "too austere" etc.
