Excerpt from my latest Sasstrology post:
“The natal Moon (mother) and Venus (lover) express two different types of female energy. If they form a square with each other, these energies conflict. I’ve explored what this could mean in a man’s chart, but the effects are somewhat different in a woman’s chart.”


I have this aspect with my moon (conj Saturn) in 7th house Taurus, and my Venus in 10th house Leo. My mother was a career woman (like me) who really didnt want to be a domesticated little woman. Although I attract a lot of attention from men, I can’t be bothered with hardly any of them. It’s a rare man that piques my interest (Virgo sun?). Most of the time, I feel like relationships are a joke. Any advice on how to work with my personal placement?
what a brilliant posting. i have an exact squaring. so funny, with the sun in leo and everybody moreso in the ‘me, me’ mode, i can imagine an awful lot of females feeling this is all about them! (although wow, it seems kind of the norm in astroblogs sometimes to a stunning degree. i think you have infinite patience every single day – probably often with me
) it would be great to think that venus moving into cancer could help a lot of us in working through our issues.
i would so love to cast my mom’s wheel but a. in her 80s, i am not so sure she recalls/ever knew her time of birth and b. cant forget, the greater part of society just cant accept belief in this discipline. i will go away and ‘know’ what i can by my moon placement and her sun sign, if not house and see what i come up with. of course, being an 11thH venus/virgo, i feel we all have to do the work in the here and now. all moms screw up in their various phases and its up to us to learn to use energy in a healthy way. easier said than done, for sure!
THANKS for the insight.
Thank you, Mary Beth. Aways appreciate your feedback.
Yes, a lot of women have responded to this post (over at Sasstrology) as if it were speaking directly to them. Which is a good thing, because that’s what I aim for.
