Your Mother & Possible Challenges based on your Moon‘s House Placement — P2 🍸
7th house: Your mother might see you as a replacement for a partner, not in a sexual sense but in the sense of confiding. Even if your father is present, she might not be able to discuss personal issues with him, especially in rather traditional and conservative relationships which is why she might prefer to talk about her own issues with you. With an absent father and related trauma, a messy divorce, she sees you as a therapist, as you know the situation even if you were a baby or a child when the relationship broke down. Also something that can be associated with this particular placement: being a so called bandaid baby. A baby that was planned (not always!) in a struggling marriage or relationship to save it.
8th house: Your mother might see someone in you or associate someone with you through physical features or behavior, her own mother or father, grandparents, a lost sister or brother. You resemble someone she lost and she tries to compensate for that loss through her relationship with you. That can mean that she has a very particular idea of how you are supposed to turn out, which creates a point of contention.
9th house: Your mother might be very particular about her political and religious beliefs. She envisions a child who carries on her beliefs, traditions and everything she believes in. Now, that doesn’t necessarily mean that she is a strongly conservative or religious woman. It can also be the other way around, where she struggles to accept that you might not be as liberal and open minded as her and, if she is agnostic or atheist, struggles to accept you being interested in becoming religious.
10th house: Your mother might be very strict about her expectations. Although she doesn’t necessarily project her own dreams onto you, she wants you to be more on the strict side, purse a career that definitely pays, preferably getting a degree and prioritizing your education. Even if she supports your artistic or alternative career ambitions, she’s prone to struggling & accepting changes in your path. It can be very difficult for her to understand why you give up what you’re doing, especially if you already have a degree or you spent some years working on it.
11th house: Your mother wants to have some sort of influence on you and your decisions, even as an adult. She might be overly critical of your friends or other people you associate with and firmly believes she is the only one who truly wants the best for you. She simply strongly clings onto that mother role dynamic you need for babies, toddlers, children and teenagers. A role that requires guidance, assistance and help. She struggles to let go of that role she played for many years which is why you might feel a major disconnect from her in your adulthood, only further emphasizing the struggle she feels.
12th house: Your mother might be more of an absent figure in your life, someone who is physically there but not necessarily able to consistently provide you with help and her resources. She might be prone to mental health issues that usually go unaddressed and untreated. If she decided to seek treatment, she might spiral into a situation that makes her feel as though her issues are the only thing defining her. In extreme situations, she might even be the one to hold you back and sabotage you, out of fear of losing you or lack of communication.
