Saturn sextile natal moon can be quite challenging.  However, because the energies of the Sextile aspect are opportunistic through engagement, there is a constructive energy involving life lessons and our emotions.
Saturn Sextile Natal Moon

Saturn sextile natal moon can be quite challenging.  However, because the energies of the Sextile aspect have to do with opportunities through engagement, there is a constructive energy that applies to this aspect.

 

Saturn is the teacher, the disciplinarian. Through hard work and a steady approach, Saturn’s energies can initiate achievement.  With the right amount of effort, especially when we are talking about the Sextile, Saturn can initiate the potential for long lasting gain especially through the feeling nature due to its influence in this case with the Moon.

 

Sometimes this will relate to the mother or important female individuals. 

 

Eventually after the sextile, Saturn will make a Square aspect to the Natal Moon, so what we do with the Sextile aspect will undoubtedly assist over time when the Square aspect comes into play.  The emotions will most likely be involved throughout this whole interchange, and Saturn makes emotional responses difficult even under the best of conditions.

 

Perhaps this relates to the home where the mother currently resides.  There is often a steadying and reliable situation when we speak of the home environment.  Perhaps the mother, who might be beginning to show signs of aging, will need to be placed in a home soon.  This can be a touchy situation because perhaps she feels like she does not need assisted living, but part of you knows that this is fast approaching.  The emotions come to the surface for both of you, but you know that something needs to happen soon, so you try to explain the situation to her.

 

This might be a good time to start to organize the placement, as it will likely take some time before things fall into place (Saturn’s influence).  You might want to take this opportunity (Sextile aspect) to get things moving in the right direction.  If there are challenging conditions coming into focus, (perhaps this aspect also forms a difficult aspect to Mercury) then perhaps her mind or your decision making is strongly affected by the emotional situation at hand.  You may have to make challenging decisions, and this can be even more challenging if Uranus or Pluto also connected by aspect.

 

For example, Uranus involved in the situation could bring things to a head when you least expect it, and Pluto could suggest that this will be life changing for your mother and likely for you as well. 

 

Much can be ascertained by the story written within the natal chart as well as other transits or progressions in place during the affected time of this aspect. 

 

Sextiles suggests that opportunities are in place, but that does not mean that it will be an easy journey.  The house position and Saturn’s natal position by house and aspect will further define what takes place as time progresses and the energies begins to come to the surface.

One thing is for certain, there will be transformations and regeneration from an emotional perspective with transiting Pluto sextile Natal Moon. This is an opportunity aspect so make sure that you do something with these transformative energies and work with what is in place.
Pluto Sextile Moon

Transiting Pluto will be in the sign of Aquarius for many years yet to come.  Those with their Moon in sextile to Transiting Pluto (Moon in Aries or late Pisces, Moon in Sagittarius or late Scorpio), will be feeling the effects of this positioning for about 2-3 years because of Pluto’s slow movement (about 1° per year).

 

Pluto’s energies represent change and transformation due to the changes it brings to life.  It speaks of the end of conditions and the beginning of something new.  The end can relate to death of a person or the end of a situation and is often viewed as challenging until it passes which as mentioned can take some time.  Some individuals begin to feel the energies of Pluto as far away as 3-5° prior to being exact which could be up to and including 3-5 years prior to exactitude. 

 

Pluto brings with it evolution and is in place to eliminate things that are no longer suitable for your personal journey in life.  Some things need completion, and this is what Pluto does; it ends things.  There can be disputes and ego collapse. These can be quite intense as time passes and the intensity continues until we begin to adjust to whatever new has taken hold in our lives.  It is best in most cases to go with the flow of change.

 

The Moon has to do with our family, our need for nurturing and the need to nurture. It is closely linked with our emotional state.  The natal aspects to the Moon play a huge part in our emotional behavior and our reaction from an emotional standpoint.  The house placement of the Moon speaks of the area of life that is under emotional focus while the sign of the Moon is the direct link to our emotional interaction and behavior.  All this will play an important part in the evaluation of Transiting Pluto sextile Natal Moon.

 

The house Pluto is in during its transit and the natal position of Pluto along with its aspects will help define how Pluto will interact with our Natal Moon.  One thing is for certain, there will be transformations and regeneration from an emotional perspective with Pluto sextile Natal Moon.

 

The Sextile aspect is one of opportunity.  When Pluto and the Moon form this interaction, our emotional reaction to life is subject to deep introspection and then the likelihood of change is most apparent.  There may be changes within the family unit, with the mother, and is some cases, women in general.  The home environment may go through alterations.  Perhaps we will move or make significant changes to the home we live in.  If we are still living at home with our parents, this can be the time when we move out of our family home and gain independence and a whole new perspective on life.

 

As mentioned, this is an opportunity aspect and under most conditions a very favourable one. However, if we sit back and do nothing to make things happen, this opportunity may pass us by with little to no effect.  We must push to make things happen although sometimes things just seem to fall into our lap.

 

Our emotional nature defined by the house and sign position is subject to upheaval and transformation at this time. We can be the ones orchestrating something meaningful into our lives if we choose to do so.  This is a very favourable energy and can translate into action when it comes to our mother as mentioned and women in general. Perhaps, we are the ones who help initiate the change that is required.  Perhaps we can help when help is what is needed.  This may be an emotional experience, but over time, it should work out favourably for those involved. 

 

Let’s use the example of the natal Moon is in the seventh house and in the sign of Aries. With this scenario, in most cases, we are the ones who arrange what unfolds within the core of our relationship with our spouse.  We like to have control and we do what needs to be done because this is what we want. We believe that we know best.  This can also be reflected in important relationships, and if, for example, the transit of Pluto were in the fifth house then this might relate to our children or a love affair. Perhaps our creative potential is now part of an ongoing process involving a business relationship.

 

There are many scenarios, and much will be defined by the houses involved as mentioned. Be sure to look at the natal potential when deciding what this might mean for you or for the person that you may be working with.  This is an opportunity aspect so make sure that something is done with these transformative energies and work with what is in place.

  • Jun 19, 2024

The Sun moves from the Mutable, Air sign of Gemini into the Cardinal, Water sign of Cancer on June 20, 2024.  This is a huge transitional position when you think of the personalities involved.  Gemini is inquisitive and thinking and very much into communication, while Cancer is emotional, sensitive and very much into feeling.  The senses are open and operating at full capacity when we speak of the sign Cancer.

 

Those individuals that are born on the cusp of Cancer and Gemini will share some of each sign’s character traits; while the deeper we go into the sign of Cancer, the more the qualities of Cancer become apparent. 

 

The Sun has an orb of influence of 16°.  There will be individuals that have other indicators within the framework of their chart that puts emphasis on different signs and the Cancer traits may not shine through (as with any sign).  Much depends on the overall picture of the natal or birth chart. 

 

An example, someone who has their Sun in the very early degrees of Cancer (therefore having some Gemini traits) may also have Mercury and Venus in Gemini and the rising sign of Gemini. All of these planets in Gemini emphasize the Geminian traits but being in the first house (with Gemini rising) ignites Aries tendencies as well because the first house is naturally ruled by Aries.

 

Cancer is a sensitive sign, emotionally driven and has strong nurturing tendencies.  Family and the family of friends are important factors in their lives.
Sun in Cancer

Those with their Sun in Cancer, the rising sign of Cancer or an emphasis of the fourth house will share some of these traits that we are about to discuss.  The Sun sign is always tied to who we are on an internal level, the rising sign is the way we represent ourselves especially when we first meet people, and the fourth house will have some traits similar to Cancer’s and much will depend on the planets found in this house as to how these energies and traits play out.

 

Cancer is a sensitive sign, emotionally driven and has strong nurturing tendencies.  Family and the family of friends are important factors in their lives.  Cancer individuals would likely consider themselves homebodies and their home environment needs to be peaceful and comfortable as this is where they can recharge their emotional batteries.  They are often quite affected by their surrounding and some take on the energies of others, so they need a place where they can unleash and rewind.

 

Cancerians can be action oriented and restless under the right conditions but also prefer to sit in comfort and watch TV or settle into gentle conversation with those that matter.  Their children and often their parents play an important part in their lives. Being a mothering type, Cancerians would like to help where they can.  They feel deeply and have a hard time keeping emotion inside although their symbol, the crab, can put up defense by going within the protective shell.  They are more sensitive than they would like to admit.  Some see their emotions as a vulnerability and do their best to show strength by hiding their emotions somewhat, but this can also be quite difficult.  Emotion is a virtue not a vice.  As much as they need to nurture, they also need nurturing themselves.

 

Heritage and the past are important to a typical Cancerian and their memory is usually quite factual as they remember more than most.  They are also very much into cooking, at least most of them, and they can be quite the master chef.  Some are also into antiques and have a close tie with the past. 

 

When emotionally hurt, Cancerians don’t forget.  Hurt runs deep and although they try to hide it, they hold on for far too long.  It is not that they can’t forgive but emotional hurt takes a long time to heal.

 

Many Cancerians are kind, gentle individuals that will do almost anything for you.  They are a friend that you can rely on, but stand on the wrong side of their temperament and you may not remain a friend for too long.  As they mature into themselves, they often learn to curb their emotion or at least try to accomplish this.

 

Cancer individuals should recognize that their emotional response is a strength and not a hinderance.
