Hey everyone
Does anyone have any insight about learning from moon neptune combinations and that need to merge with people for (idk) a sense of security and emotional fulfilment?

I know that moon neptune deals with the mother being "gone" somehow (which has been true in my case). My mother just couldnt be there for me emotionally because she was dealing with her own neptunian issues. But I also felt a great trauma from feeling cut off from my mother emotionally and physically.

And so now im dealing with this need to merge with other people for whatever reason, but it can be to my own detriment (which is why im currently in counselling to learn about myself more).

I appreciate sooo much anyone who can share their experience with moon/neptune combinations whether its in your own or someone else's chart

***Just for reference I have moon neptune conjunct at 0 degrees in aquarius and in my 10th house.
Another placement that could play into my issue with loss and trauma/crisis situations is having mars (my chart ruler) in scorpio in the 8th house + conjunct chiron.

what you’re describing above, merging with someone, by another name is known as “enmeshment”, and anyone alive, irregardless of moon placement or condition, is vulnerable to unconscious dynamics at play in all relationships.

Neptune, if not conscious, more aptly rules sacrifice and worse scapegoat

I have Moon in my 8th conjunct Neptune/Uranus and actively choose not to harbor this issue. Granted, this has meant, becoming very picky about who/what I hold in esteem, a seriousness towards instating living by my own values, boundaries upheld by knowing thyself, self-recognition. I’ve learned to not inform others even of this awareness, rather need only be acknowledge it wherein the psychic soup I end and another begins, and move on. Trusting, respecting my intuition (instantly), and also honoring feeling as it passes. And offer the same. That’s it. You’re not wrong to understand that a lot of the symbology is attributed/projected on to your mother figure, only approach further is to reclaim it, also accept your mother, compassion for her is a part of your makeup. Popular therapy would call this effort “reparenting”.

My mother is not entirely emotionally available, due to her not emotionally available for herself, doesn’t mean I have to repeat the cycle, neither abandon her back. I also, in compassion, rather than sacrifice myself or scapegoating her, have slowly but sternly pointed this out to her as I’ve come to understand it, for my own sake.

Neptune/Uranus are in my 7th house... relationships. You might experience this in the 10th with your sense of contribution to world, what are known for, are readily able to provide publicly. Keeping an interpretation simple, maybe don’t be quick to let grandiose/otherworldly ideas of the-world-at-large define your path, neither rage/save against the future with your Aquarian conceptual sensibilities—or do(!) but keep your “false self” in check. Maybe you need ‘a cause’ or community to offer something to/work towards, but keep a handle on your autonomy. The issue with Neptune, or any generational planet for that matter, is influence goes both ways.

A close girlfriend of mine has Neptune in the 10th, performance is how she’s inspired, a dreamer. because MC is in Capricorn, she’s willing to build the world she wants to live in—commune style. I’ve got Pisces Midheaven.

Lastly, because of the Moon-Neptune, maybe educate yourself on the buzzword of what narcissism is (and also, “codependency” considering initial topic) and steer clear of those proving themselves behaving carelessly with your friendship and respect . You’ll be sapped of all your resources if you don’t learn to discern the red flags of manipulation, like excessive flattery and/or criticism. Trust cannot be spoken for, it is to be witnessed. My grandmother explained to me once, givers can only be with givers, and takers with takers—givers and takers are inherently incompatible.

All the terms I put into “quotes”, I hope you might google. Knowledge is power, and this placement calls for Wisdom

best wishes

@vansio, omg thank you so much for this insight!
I totally understand and agree with everything you said, except I do feel all of my life so far (I only just turned 21!) I have been overly compassionate and concerned with my mum to the point I didn't even realise I needed to or how to care for my own needs.
Not that my mother ever imposed herself on me, I could just see and understand how much she was struggling and even though I was angry and hurt at times with her I would still remain caring of her and wanting to help her. But I am coming to realise the importance of boundaries & prioritising my own needs! Hahaha And being discerning of what is in my power to change.

I am definitely a performer and supporter of social change and groups hahaha, i have big aspirations for the future for supporting everyone around the world who needs help! Which Im aware is a big task and im not pushing myself to my detriment with that goal. I'm currently more focused on my creativities, performing, entrepreneur projects & therapy (because to help others you need to help for yourself first). I've always loved dancing and singing, but I'm creative in so many ways.
