Part 3 : your sun and moon:what they reveal about relating

Another combination that spells trouble is the sun/moon square. That is when the sun and the moon are approximately 90 degrees apart.

Going back to the interpretation that Sun is man and Moon is woman, you can understand why the study of these two planets in an individual chart could reveal any heavy issues with relating.

The "square" is considered a tension aspect, and for the most part it plays out with an unconscious or subconscious element. For instance, one can say one thing yet actions speak another language. Most of us have known people like this if not related to them. For some people, receiving these mixed messages might be close to impossible to deal with,for others barely tolerable.

If you have a sun/moon square in your chart, it might be impossible for you to see the behavior. On the other hand, if several people who you have dated have pointing to saying one thing but doing another, you probably need to listen and internalize what you are hearing.Changing this behavior could be difficult but the first step will be becoming aware of it.

Another scenario with this combo is projecting this behavior out on others .

Let's get to some examples.
If you are a Scorpio sun man with a Leo Moon, you tend to be secretive and not share, yet emotionally you choose women who are flamboyant...who just might be showy and talkative. That choice could only set you off...but that is part of an inner need, (the moon) to express itself.

If you are a woman, with a Cancer sun but an Aries moon...you come off as your Moon, direct and full of fire. That is all great and wonderful, until you choose a man which you will that fulfills your Cancer sun. A caring, sensitive man, who clams up if hurt. You can see the problem here. You could also promise to not hurt, but you might not be able to see how being you, the Aries Moon is hurting him.

These are only examples, but this dichotomy plays out in natal Sun/Moon squares.

Basically you can see the setup. How would you resolve this? Or what type of person needs to be with you to help you evolve past this innate characteristics? Please feel free to ost or relate your experiences, if relevant here.

Please keep in mind that a difficult natal sun/moon position does not mean you won't have a relationship of value. It simply means that there is some personal work to be done. Ask yourself: are you ready?
