Astro Gradual, unlocking your Cosmic heartbeat

Moon opposition Venus

Moon opposition Venus indicates a great need for love and affection but difficulty achieving this. You genuinely love and care for others but may have some problems showing it. Or you may not cope well if your love and affection are rejected or not returned to the same degree. Relationships with women early in life can have a powerful influence on dating later in life. A particularly strong attachment to one female relative, usually your mother, will influence your expectations about love relationships. Relationship problems may arise later in life if this female archetype was overly protective or emotionally distant. The moon opposite Venus gives such a strong need for companionship that it is essential to maintain high standards when entering a relationship. Not wanting to be alone, or feeling like you cannot cope with being alone, means you tend to miss character flaws that are obvious to others. It is also possible that you may use questionable tactics to keep your partner based on what you think is love. Either scenario can result in a relationship based on false love or a shallow relationship. You may go through a series of unfulfilling relationships before you realize this repeating pattern. Possessiveness, jealousy, insecurity, and boredom are other signs of unfulfilled relationships not based on true love. Some time alone may be needed to work on your self-love and self-acceptance before a true soul mate, or destiny love enters your life.

Moon opposition Venus

With a Moon opposition Venus, you navigate the tension between your inner emotional experience and your external relationships. At times, you may feel like your sensual needs are at odds with your emotions. But when you find a balance between your emotional expression and values, you will be able to nurture and cultivate harmonious relationships. It will be important for you to develop skills in self-reflection and contemplation, such as through journaling, meditation, or therapeutic modalities. By increasing your ability to explore your inner life, you will learn how to become aware of the way you project your inner feelings into your external relationships. Otherwise, you are susceptible to having your emotions distort your perceptions so that you are not clearly aware of the other person’s intentions. As you develop your skills in self-analysis, you will also gain the capacity to become an insightful counsellor or mentor for others. You will become capable of helping them uncover their own emotional projections within their relationships.

Because these people value harmony, they may find themselves giving in to others too easily, especially in the first half of life. Resentment is possible, as they feel that they are the ones who seem to do all the acquiescing. There can be a distinct tendency to become friends (and lovers) with people too readily, simply because there is a strong need for approval and a hunger for receiving affection. As such, these people may get involved with people who seem to really like them, and they don’t consider whether they actually like them back! It’s somewhat of a weakness, as these people are very charmed by the idea that someone seems to really like them and appreciate them. Generally, one of life’s lessons for these people is to learn to discriminate more and to get in touch with what they truly want and need. The functions of the Moon (which rules the emotions and feelings, amongst other things) and the functions of Venus (which rules social relationships, harmony, and partnership, amongst other things) are at cross-purposes. When these people attempt to feed the needs of one function, it is often at the expense of the other, until they find some sort of balance. This can play out in a variety of ways. For example, there can be conflicts in partnerships about parenting or whether or not to have a family. They can find themselves compromising their own emotional needs in order to find and keep love. Peace and harmony are important to these people–perhaps too much so, as they can easily be taken advantage of. Insecurity is something that these people need to deal with at some point in their lives. Very sensual, people with Moon in hard aspect to Venus sometimes replace love with food or shopping! They are also usually quite sexually active and sometimes quite lustful. They are usually skilled in the arts. There is a distinct lazy streak. Most are able to work hard, but they truly appreciate luxuriating and enjoying as many pleasures as possible, and self-discipline simply isn’t always at their disposal.

Moon opposition Mercury may struggle with their sensual needs

People having the Moon opposite Venus aspect in their birth chart may struggle to choose between being nurturing and addressing their most sensual needs. Those who were born during this transit are also obsessed with perfection and beauty. When the Moon is in opposition from Venus, all natives of the zodiac have this need to spend all of their money on beautiful things. Those having the Moon opposite Venus aspect in their birth chart may have an increased need to be loved and shown affection, but it can be very difficult for them to obtain these things. Sincere about their love and caring feelings, they may not respond well to those who aren’t offering them the same things back. All the women who have been by their side when they were very young will greatly influence their dating patterns. They can be very attached to one of their female relatives, most likely their mother, usually the person who told them what to expect from romance. In case this woman who’s very important to them is cold from an emotional point of view or very protective, they may face real problems as far as their love life goes. They seem to have a strong need for being with someone and very high standards for their partner. However, hating to spend their time alone or to face life on their own can make them unaware of many of the obvious flaws of their loved ones. It’s also very likely they’ll use some questionable strategies to get the person they’re in love with to be with them, so they can build their romantic relationships on false feelings and be superficial with their other half. They’ll probably have many unhappy connections until realizing this is something in their life that keeps repeating itself. They may feel unhappy in their love affairs because they’re bored or possessive, too jealous and insecure. For this reason, they need to spend some time alone and focus on what love means to them, also on accepting themselves, even from before a special person gets to enter their life. All the people on this planet need to be loved, but many are feeling insecure when it comes to finding their soulmate. The Moon and Venus aspects are dominated by a need for love, mutual understanding and peaceful connections with others, especially with lovers. For all these things to be obtained, individuals need to adapt to what their dear ones need and to be as pleasing as they can. Those having the Moon opposite Venus in their natal chart have to interact and to make others feel emotionally satisfied, also to avoid conflicts as much as possible. They seem to hate rude and vulgar individuals, not to mention how much they resent obscenity or seeing how others don’t have a sense of justice and equality. It’s a pleasure for them to go to different social gatherings because they have this need of being popular and appreciated by their friends or relatives.

When Moon opposition Venus, a need for separating nurturing feelings from the romantic and sexual desires becomes more obvious, which means natives with such aspects in their birth chart are more interested in getting things done outside their family environment. They may also feel like there’s a conflict between their lovers and those who raised them because they’d all the time feel insecure about how all these individuals in their life are getting along when spending some time together. Having a need to be loved and shown a lot of affection, they can have the impression others are only looking to reject them. It’s just that they’re very vulnerable and suspicious when it comes to them to appreciate how much others care about their feelings. Since they want harmony and peace, it’s very likely for them to rapidly give in if others are opposing their opinions, especially when they’re very young. If feeling their loved ones aren’t making an effort for the relationships with them, they start feeling resentful. These natives seem to become involved in romantic relationships and friendships too easily because they need others to approve their ways and to be given affection. This is the reason why they don’t mind getting together with those who like them, no matter what their feelings towards these individuals may be. This is their main weakness: to not care how much they like a person if he or she seems to appreciate them enough. Their life lesson is to be more discriminating and truly aware of their own needs. People with the Moon opposite Venus in their birth chart have a very creative mind, a good eye for the arts and the best taste when it comes to interior design. They can naturally and instinctively make amazing combinations of colours or appreciate beauty, luxury and art. They likely had a female presence in their life to influence them to be like this. Depending on how their birth chart looks like, this woman may have had a positive or negative impact on them. They seem to love their mother and their other female relatives very much, not to mention how many great opportunities they can receive from ladies, in time. This indicates they’re feminine themselves, not to mention the opposition of Moon and Venus can influence many males having this aspect in their birth chart to wish they were born females.

The Moon opposition Venus indicates that you will often be dissatisfied in social relationships. You may feel emotionally blocked and uneasy when dealing with others. You often feel unloved, and this insecurity is communicated in subtle ways to others, who may interpret it as you hiding something, when really you are just protecting yourself. This, in their mind, casts doubt on your sincerity. As distance enters your relationships, your negative feelings and fears of being disliked are reinforced, and the cycle perpetuates itself. Because vitalizing and harmonizing feelings are inwardly blocked, they fail to enter your social relationships. People may perceive you as cold, unfriendly, or distant, and find it too much effort to spend time and energy slowly getting to know you. Your attempts to share and communicate are erratic, often superficial, and lack a recognizable warmth. Even when you are admiring someone's achievements or making gestures of appreciation, there can be an unconvincing delivery, as though you are going through socially acceptable motions but not putting any heart into it. As you know, this is not the truth of who you are, but the inability to communicate your sensitive emotional nature to others gives off a misleading impression of your character. You may make compensatory attempts to avoid confronting your emotional unfulfillment, and these can include a preoccupation with material possessions, money, and comforts. You may attempt to form an identity and self-worth founded on physical acquisitions, or through a lifestyle which reflects Venusian tendencies toward sensuality and luxury. Despite your need for closeness, it is your unconscious behaviour which pushes people away. Inner barriers need dismantling, but moving beyond your inhibiting patterns will require taking some risks. Start by trying to be more open to connection and less protective and distant. Share yourself more easily, drop expectations about people and try to judge them less harshly. Learn how to cooperate better by making effective adjustments and mutual concessions. The likelihood is that, over time, the quality of your relationships will improve, enabling blocked emotional energies to be released gradually and safely, as you feel able to open to a new type of contact with people and the environment. Then you may discover that you possess something of great value which can be shared with others for mutual benefit. If you can make the transition, perhaps you can in turn help others who also have to face these same difficulties.
