During Saturn’s transit with the Moon, whether it be through conjunction, square, or opposition, the psyche can be deeply tested. Such encounters often bring forth negative emotions and a profound sense of isolation. It is within this challenging space of loneliness, retreat, and even neglect from loved ones that we uncover our hidden reservoirs of strength and self-sufficiency. This transit serves as a facilitator for such transformative learning experiences. As we engage in sobering introspection driven by our yearning for security, we may find ourselves more sensitive, with lowered morale and a general sense of malaise. In our present state, we may find our confidence dwindling, replaced instead by profound insecurity, hurt, and resentment.
The love and support offered by our family, friends, and loved ones may seem elusive, but it does not mean they have ceased their efforts to assist us. During this period, we may feel misunderstood and as though we are moving the world alone, accompanied by an overwhelming surge of anxiety, fear, and a predominantly pessimistic outlook. These transits can place our relationships, be they romantic, familial, or otherwise, under considerable strain and challenge us through emotional losses.
Allowing the emotional child within us to mature during a Saturn transit entails accepting the reality that we must rely on ourselves for emotional sustenance, rather than seeking it from others. Rejection, criticism, and the feeling of being let down by others all serve as powerful lessons, emphasizing our inherent self-reliance. While these Moon-Saturn transits compel us to learn the demanding lessons of emotional independence and self-sufficiency, it does not negate our need for others. Indeed, every human being yearns for emotional companionship.
For some of us, this transit may heighten emotional barriers, rendering us more reserved and inhibited than usual. Saturn-Moon transits can signal increased parental responsibilities, forcing us to confront our own emotional dependence on our mothers. This may give rise to potential obstacles, frustrations, and circumstances that leave us feeling utterly disheartened. The weight of domestic burdens and personal issues may become heavier, leading to significant emotional pain. It is possible that we are currently experiencing severe disillusionment and require ample rest, nourishment, care, and attention to recover. Relationships with older women may form, or women from the past may reenter our lives. When it comes to our closest connections, many of us may feel burdened by an overwhelming sense of responsibility. Nonetheless, amidst these trials, we may discover untapped reserves of emotional fortitude and support.
During Saturn-Moon transits, we may even experience profound feelings of abandonment and helplessness, akin to a forsaken child without solace. It may appear as if no one cares about our predicament, and when assistance does arrive, we struggle to recognize it. Cultivating pragmatism, order, and discipline in our lives becomes vital for self-care and maintaining a level-headed perspective. This phase of life offers a prime opportunity for emotional self-definition, introspection, and organization, allowing us to navigate the challenges with greater resilience and understanding.
