The Moon in Astrology represents many things like what makes you feel secure, your emotional reactions, and your roots. It can also show the relationship between you and your mother and in this post, I’m going to focus more on the negative side of things. Here are ways your mother could negatively impact you according to your moon/ic sign:

💜Aries: Your mother could have felt like competition to you, or often stressed you to always be #1. Maybe you and her fought a lot, mostly over small things here and there. You may have gotten in trouble a lot for being too spontaneous. She may be the type to say things when she’s mad that she doesn’t mean, and isn’t likely to hold grudges.

💜Taurus: Your mother may have scolded you often for being lazy, and due to your stubborn nature, you may butt heads with her a lot. She may give you chores to do that you don’t get around to fast enough, because it does not give you any pleasure.

💜Gemini: Your smart mouth may have gotten you in a lot of trouble with your mother. Witty and sarcastic remarks here and there could come from you or her or both of you during heated arguments. She could easily say a lot of hurtful things and she’s good with words. Many lectures could have also been part of your childhood.

💜Cancer: Your mother may have been overprotective over you and wanted you to do exactly what she says or be wherever you say you are. She is likely a worrier and just wants to protect you, and this may either interfere with your personality (if you’re the type to like individuality) or it made you grow up to be sheltered.

💜Leo: your mother may have negatively impacted your self-esteem by always criticising things like how you dress or how you do your hair, or even downplayed your creativity and basically didn’t support you in your art when you needed it OR wasn’t there to cheer you on when you needed it

💜Virgo: your mother may have negatively impacted you by just criticising you a whole lot in general, especially over little things. the mother may be nitpicky and seem to pull apart the child to judge every aspect of their being. additionally, there could be issues with diets and relationship with food due to the mother. also, feelings like you could have always done better can be strong here

💜Libra: your mother may have valued how you appear to others over everything else and how it reflects on them as a parent. relationships with others could be closely monitored. the mother may have been telling the child exactly what to wear and discouraged behaviour that would displease even one person. the child is taught to value sparing others over themselves.

💜Scorpio: the relationship with the mother could be intense or one that transforms now and then. it could be that a new version of the mother is constantly experienced at different points in time. the mother could have been so busy in their own world so any words you spoke fell on deaf ears, making you grow up quiet yourself. your mother could have betrayed you, making you wary of trusting others.

💜Sagittarius: your mother may have not appreciated your opinions or beliefs or wasn’t open minded enough to listen to them. fights may surround how adventurous you are, she could think everything you decide to do is dangerous or stupid. your mother could have often given you lectures.

💜Capricorn: Your mother expected a lot from you and expected you to be a hardworker. If not this, she may have held you back from doing some things you want to do or stressed you often. It could also be a possibility that your mother was the authoritarian type of parent, strict with rules or bedtimes or your diet and etc.

💜Aquarius: your mother may have criticised how weird or odd you are, or tried to push you to do the more conventional things. on the other hand, this could just show detachment from either your mother or both your parents and being emotionally distant from them, making you feel alone growing up.

house overlays

i want to preface this with no relationship is doomed because of saturn aspects or overlays. saturn is the planet of discipline, restriction, responsibility, structure, gained wisdom, and rigidity. it is often believed that it is the paternal energy of the chart. while saturn overlays are generally challenging due to saturn’s nature, there are positives to each and every house overlay and i hope that comes through here! i also want to note that saturn is a social planet. because of this, you are likely to encounter many people that have the same saturn sign as you and thus many times people’s saturn will fall in the same house as your saturn. x

1st: The Saturn person affects how the house person acts in general, but especially in public settings. The Saturn person makes a strong impression here, with the house person perhaps questioning their identity or feeling insecure about their identity around the Saturn person. The house person is inexplicably drawn to the strong presence of Saturn, but may also feel restrained frequently. There’s a general desire to impress Saturn.

2nd: The Saturn person influences the house persons spending habits, style, and comfort zone. There’s a strong possibility that the house person feels restrained by Saturn, perhaps being ashamed of how they spend their money, dress, or like to spend their downtime. They may try much harder in Saturn’s presence, working harder on these subjects to please Saturn. There’s a chance for rigidity in physical encounters or strong submissive (house person) and dominance (saturn) themes. 

3rd: The house person is likely to question their words in regards to the Saturn person more. While in social settings together, texting, or talking one-on-one, the house person may stumble over their words or be less inclined to speak their mind readily. There is a sense that the Saturn person is a master with their words and a desire to not disappoint them. Communication between the two is taken very seriously and honesty is prioritized (sometimes above feelings). 

4th: The house person here can feel judged for their inner world, which can be especially difficult. Saturn is being exposed to the house persons safe space and with their general rigidity, the house person can feel a certain sense of rejection. Saturn here can add a level of stability to the house persons life, though. Saturn could help to ground the house person positively. On the flip side, they may stifle some of the more raw and sensitive parts of the house person. 

5th: The struggle here can be within lightheartedness. We have the house of lightheartedness and creativity meeting the planet of restriction, structure, and control. The house person is likely to resist the energy of the Saturn person often. The house person is likely to take offense to signs of Saturn’s disapproval in their land of fun - whatever that looks like. There can be open conflict. However, Saturn’s judgment aside, Saturn can help the house person gain further mastery over their interests by encouraging practice and diligence. Saturn may feel here like a parent to impress.

6th: Saturn is a bit omnipresent in domestic life together here. Saturn may be nit-picky over the house person’s habits, hygiene, and or schedule. Saturn may have a tendency to be naggy. There’s also potential for the Saturn person to alter how the house person goes about their daily routine; perhaps the house person will adapt Saturn’s seemingly tried and true methods. The house person may have to willing to defend their personal habits as just that - personal. 

7th: The challenge of this overlay is largely based on how the house person is. Do they naturally embody Saturnian traits or seek these traits out of partner? If yes, this overlay will not be as tense. However, if the house person is not naturally very Saturnian or someone who seeks out the heavier more serious Saturn-esque partners, this can be a bit more difficult. The pair are likely to encounter many issues in how they approach the relationship and Saturn can weigh heavy. However, while challenging, this overlay can be a huge indicator of longevity in one on one relationships. The pair are likely to be rather loyal to each other and pulled to remain together. Much growth and wisdom can be gained from one another.

8th: Similar to the fourth house, this overlay can be an especially raw one. The eighth house is another core part of our rich inner world, one we arguably protect more than our 4th house, and Saturn can make us feel rather exposed here. The Saturn person is likely to make the house person feel under scrutiny/watch over their secrets, inner world, and fantasies. There may be a constant fear of deep exposure. Opening up to Saturn can be rather difficult, but bring true intimacy. 

9th: The house person is likely to openly rebel from Saturn’s energy when this overlay occurs. When it comes to philosophy, spirituality, travel, and free thought, the house person is likely to find Saturn way too conservative and there can be a great deal of disagreement. Ultimately, Saturn pushes the house person to provide more evidence and make their arguments more airtight, even if it’s aggravating to the house person. 

10th: Saturn is associated with the 10th house, so the house person may take Saturn’s presence the easiest here. The house person is already striving for success in this area and Saturn can help mobilize this. However, since the house person is likely to be very hard on themselves in this area of life, Saturn needs to be careful not to add extra pressure that isn’t needed. The two can work well to reach success and can be competitive with each other. The need to impress can be especially pronounced. 

11th: Similar to the 9th house, this house person can get intellectually frustrated by Saturn’s presence, but there is a charming push-and-pull that leads to true growth. Saturn is the traditional ruler of Aquarius, the associated sign of the 11th house, so like the 10th house, the house person is likely to handle the presence relatively well. Saturn may be critical of friendships and may bring the house person to be more selective in friendships and in general. 

Aries Rising (Pisces 12th): Deeply afraid to offend others, childish, proclaims innocence whether actually innocent of not, either very spiritually attuned or completely tuned off a “deeper” level, very manipulative though seemingly blind to this, projects own issues onto others, depressive periods, either insomnia or can sleep for days, sensitive to blood, horror, slasher flicks.

Gemini Rising (Taurus 12th): Lazy, unmotivated, copies off of friends to form goals with hopes of “togetherness”, gets left behind a lot, stuck in a rut and comfortable with it, New Age parents, the cool one in high school…still there at 35, spoiled, tantrums, either longs for a family or wants nothing to do with it, weight issues, codependent, not very responsible.

Cancer Rising (Gemini 12th): two-faced, friends with everyone and no one, either a pathological liar, or always accused of lying, very careful with communication, hints assumptions and backhanded compliments, independent, secretly self motivated, socially accepted, uses humor to gain favor with others, avoids confrontation, avoids being held accountable.

Leo Rising (Cancer 12th): homebody, distrustful and very particular over subjects others would consider strange, overly emotional, needy and clingy in relationships, wary of emotions, materialistic in a “spiritual” or artistic kind of way, nose in everyone’s business, needs to feel needed - or hates feeling responsible for others, soft spot for children and animals.

Virgo Rising (Leo 12th): painfully shy, uncomfortable seeking attention but also craves nothing more, self confidence of a shoe, stubborn and insistent their way is the right way, nice to strangers and rude to family, or sometimes the other way around, a gym buff, eating disorders, fads and crazy diets, plastic surgery & obsession over physical attributes over those of substance.

Libra Rising (Virgo 12th): Can NOT handle criticism, has no problem dishing it out anywhere and everywhere, feels attacked by…everything, gossiping, complainer, a bit backstabby, somehow manages to justify everything they do, at least to themselves, narrowminded themselves yet avoids others who may judge them, either diet obsessed or chubby, eating disorders, too practical or not enough, either very clean or hasnt ever used a sponge…ever.

Scorpio Rising (Libra 12th): seeks outside validation to all decisions, down to who they even are, sees themselves as supreme judgment on any matter, extremely fearful of negative public opinion, tells everyone what they want to hear, relationship oriented and cannot be alone, borderline codependency, will usually try to do “the right thing”, fearful of higher powers (more judgment), friendly and very communicative on the surface, friends with everyone, people pleaser.

Sagittarius Rising (Scorpio 12th): attracted to dark and usual things, perverted, either obsessed with the mystery of things or completely one level - no deep stuff, longs for reinvention but deeply fearful of change, a horror fan, attractions to taboo, sexually experimental, possible sexual abuse or deeply ingrained psychological afflictions, STDs, controlling and can be very cruel.

Capricorn Rising (Sagittarius 12th): naively optimistic, domineering or bossy in matters one considers themself the “expert”, friendly yet curiously unaware of the public’s opinions of them, destructively impulsive, alcoholism, sexually adventurous or a total prude, craves parties and social occasions, but acts extremely awkward at them, blunt to the point of hurtful, blind to faults.

Aquarius Rising (Capricorn 12th): immature, freelance worker or “free spirit”, contradictory, responsible yet shirks responsibility whenever possible, good with money yet doesn’t care to earn it, controlling with those they love, cold and calculating, unemotional and judgmental towards those that use emotions to express themselves, dedicated to their path, a late bloomer, always has a Plan B, materialistic or the polar opposite, may resent materialism at its core.

I think all rising signs have wonderful smiles. Aries risings: have those deep set grins, the ones that little kids make after they’ve just kicked you dead center in the knee caps.

Taurus risings: have those disarming smiles, the ones that people make after the drink starts to set in and they let loose once the juke box starts playing their favorite tune.

Gemini risings: have those sneaky smiles, the ones your siblings make after they’ve stolen half of your wardrobe.

Cancer risings: have those sad smiles as if they have so much they’d love to tell you, so much they’d love to take of their shoulders but stop themselves in doing so just for one brief smile of contentment.

Leo risings: have those Romantic smiles, the kind two starry eyed teenagers make at one another at the school dance after a very corny anti-climatic kiss.

Virgo risings: have those concerned smiles, the kind where you would scan the entire group and all their faces to make sure they’re all just as breathless at the joke you’ve made.

Libra risings: have those elegant smiles, the kind that you get from those high caliber millionaires as you enter the all gold dinning hall.

Scorpio risings: have those arrogant smiles, as if they’ve seen it all, they’ve already paced and rearranged the situation trillions of times and are admiring their own brilliance.

Sagittarius risings: have those kind smiles, the ones where you meet complete strangers in the forest, the kind that guides you home and lets you borrow their Jeep and even trust you with their supplies on the way there.

Capricorn risings: have those kind of smiles grandma and grandpa would make as they look at the grandkids, a sort of “life lived” glaze in the eyes - as if this was the moment in time they saved it all for.

Aquarius risings: have those teary eyed smiles. Tears of joy as if the most anticipated moment has taken place. Their can be millions of emotions in that one smile, anything but peace behind those teeth.

You could also look at the sun, moon, 4th house or rising. 

Aries: You’re not one for confined spaces or clutter. You want to find what you need without hassle and you might opt for big windows that let in lots of light. I can see Aries Venus liking plain colors like black, white, and beige but with bold accents and wild patterns. Scents are crisp and clean (linen, ginger, or citrus), giving a fresh and new feeling.

Taurus: I think a comfortable couch with plump pillows that you could sink into would be the centerpiece. Woods, browns, greens, and other nature colors and materials are used. Vases with flowers for decoration. Some sort of small window garden would be used. Candles would be lit so that when you enter the room, you’re hit with a pleasant scent. Maybe you have a record player in the corner. Anyone who visits would feel very at home. A nice and well-used dining table would be another investment. Your style is beautiful yet functional. 

Gemini: I can see Gemini in a loft apartment. It’s spacious and likely close to the action of the city. The open nature of a loft is mentally stimulating. Your music and movie collection is likely on display. There’s plenty of room for friends when they come over. Board games may be under the coffee table. The design is sleek,  state-of-the-art, simple, and uncluttered. A chalkboard or notepad is good for writing down ideas on the fly. If you’re an Apple lover, you probably have everything connected so you’re always on top of things.

Cancer: You would focus a lot of the decorating on displaying and storing memories. Hand-made art, blankets or rugs. Things that you’ve collected. I think Cancer Venus would appreciate a comfy corner for reading with a big chair, pillows and a blanket. Pastel colors come to mind. Silver frames hold pictures of loved ones or your own artwork. Cooking utensils are frequently used and on display in the kitchen. The kitchen will likely be a gathering point, so attention is given to it. Try scents like vanilla, apple, or nutmeg.

Leo: Leo Venus loves luxury and if we can’t have it, we’ll fake it. Your home represents an extension of you so of course you want the best. Leo Venus is willing to spent a little bit more for the good stuff. Leo loves shiny accents such as gold, silver, or polished black. Mirrors of all kinds might be in every room. Ruled by the sun, the natural light would be a let in via large windows and sheer curtains. The mirrors will help reflect the light. The combination of natural light and mirrors will help you put your best foot forward before you step out of the house. Beautiful paintings or other pieces of art are boldly displayed. You want people to be wowed by your home and you will bask in this praise. Part of this opulence is because you do want to show off, but also it brings you great comfort for the sake of it. It makes you feel secure.

Virgo: Like Cancer, Virgo decorates with storage and display in mind. Trunks can be used for storage of unsightly things, but also have the added bonus of being visually appealing. Your apartment is likely quite clean, except maybe your bedroom that no one sees. Virgo would probably like the Scandinavian style with lots of white and wood. It’s uncluttered, which is important. You need a retreat from the hectic buzz that is your mind. Plants would help you stay down to earth and give you something to care for. A work space is necessary so a desk with many drawers and a comfortable chair is an option. Books and CDs are organized in alphabetical order and possibly are there to show others how well-read they are. Good lighting is also a must (especially if you want to find all the dirt you missed). You might like woodsy scents.

Libra: A Libra will be sensitive to the energy of their home. Color coordination will be on point and it will look very tasteful. A space to retreat to where you regain balance is a necessity. The world is chaotic and your home should be as light and neutral as possible so you can renew yourself. 

Scorpio: Ah, Dracula’s lair. It’s certainly not going to be in a place where others could peep in on you. If that’s the case, you will invest in some heavy shades. The place might seem small, but feel big. Rich textures like leather, velvet, and silk might appeal to you. Even metals, perhaps. You have a light dimmer, rather than a switch. You might also place a few odd or shocking pieces around the house such as a sexual book or a frightening looking piece of art. Dark and rich is the theme of your style. If not, it may be deceptively light and airy, as to not lead people on to your true ways.

Sagittarius: Another sign that would not like clutter. Not particularly domestic, Sagittarius would prefer to keep it minimalist so there isn’t much cleaning that needs to be done. Unless they live with someone who doesn’t mind cleaning up after them. Minimalism is also good for those who don’t like to be tied down. The less you have, the easier it is to move on. The Sagittarius home buzzes with energy and movement. I could see framed maps on the walls and souvenirs from travels on shelves. Funky, one-of-a-kind pieces are appreciated and are used as conversation starters.

Capricorn: A classic style that lasts. Like Leo, you are willing to dish out cash for quality, but you’re delighted if you can find a good deal. Oil paintings and nice towels are some things you might find in the Cap home. Like Taurus, you go for stylish yet functional. Nothing in your home should go out of style so that it will last you a lifetime. Degrees and other trophies will be displayed. You probably have a monthly planning binder at your organizational station that holds your meal plans, bills, and to-do list.

Aquarius: An Aquarius apartment is likely to be a mix of the Sagittarian minimalism and the Scorpionic quirkiness. You also do not enjoy being tied down, so too much “stuff” can weigh you down. Furniture should be easy to move around when you want to change up your style. It’s likely that what’s “in” will not matter to you. Matching and harmony is not the key. You might even get a kick out of the reactions your place gets. Strange novelty items will be displayed for guests to be shocked with. Guests will probably be a regular thing, since as a fixed sign, you prefer others come to you.
