I know this feeling. I think it's because you are intimately connected to Mom in a way that feels indivisible to you i.e. like you can't completely detach from her on a deep level. And as a ♋ Moon person,I understand this too.So as she moves,so do you. And her opinion of you (favourable or not) can resonate deeply within you and have you searching yourself thoroughly when there is criticism that she levels against you.
Notice that Moon(Mom)is opp your Asc in ♊(identity) closely? So you respond or reflect on her inputs a lot. And ruler of the 4th house(♍ ) is in your 12th house of loss? So home or themes related to it including Mom (4th),is tied to some sense of loss or emotional distance(12th).
Even Moon ruling the 2nd house of ♋ and placed in house 6 conjunct Dsc, would suggest that there are obstacles/ challenges(6th) that you feel in terms of support structure(2nd). And this may even lead to intimate relationships (Moon conjunct Dsc) being disadvantaged in some way(Moon in 6th).
So it is no wonder(with these placements) that the relationship with Mom can feel very comolex. And how her opinion can be so amplified.
The reason that her criticism of you is so uncomfortable to you, is because it DOES NOT align with who you are i.e. unconditional love and acceptance.
In essence, that is what we all want from a mother- her unrestrained support and positive feedback. But with Moon/Chiron opposite as well as Saturn joining the Moon in its opposition to Chiron in house 1, you can feel wounded and restricted by the lack of both support and positive feedback from her.
Mars in 1st/7th are particularly defensive in terms of relationships.And this can be one of the primal reasons for that.
The native can sense hurt or rejection as a result of conditioned experiences from an earlier part of life(sometimes a parent). So they react defensively to any threat(perceived or real) in relationships and interactions thereafter.
I don't have a quick fix solution for this because with Uranus/Saturn(ruler of 9th) conjunct Moon, Mom is an influential figure in your life (even morally).
But both planets also suggest that at some point you will have to detach from her and even search for a surrogate lunar figure from which to get the support that you want. Because you can't make her to be something she is not.
This matenal figure(Moon) can be a conglomerate of many people and not just one person. And from them you can get the approval and support you desire and need.
Picture a mother who is pregnant and addicted to drugs. That Mother will consume things that are to the detriment of the baby. And the baby (by default)will absorb all that is consumed.
Ideally when the baby is birthed, severance of the baby from the mother is necessary. This so that the baby can receive care in an incubator and get the much needed love and support to overcome impediments or addictions developed whilst in the mother's womb.
In many cases, this severance is not temporary but permanent. The child is placed under the care of loving adoptive parents- purposely partially(if not wholly) erasing the earlier abrupt and unpleasant entry into the world.
Now i am not saying your situation is this extreme. But what i am saying is that you may(like this baby) have to distance yourself from your Mom/home or replace her with a surrogate maternal figure.
Because of your Asc-Moon tight opposition, the attachment to a maternal figure/home seems very important to your self identity. You need a comfortable support system from which to thrive and interact.
So i woould advise that you be watchful over who you let into your personal space and home.The more loving the person is, the better things will work out for you.
This could also be a surrogate maternal figure ? Maybe even a combination of people(as said earlier)? God( as the divine feminine essence)? Or a living female relative that is supportive? It doesn't have to strictly be your mother.
Getting support or maternal care in relationships can help repair that inner doubt because of earlier criticism and restrictions from Mom.
What must also be noticed and closely monitored however , is that you watch your inner voice. That it doesn't become an extension of the very criticism from Mom that you find so harmful.❤❤❤
