Natal Moon square / opposition Uranus
Moon square Uranus (Haydn Paul)
The square's characteristics are quite similar to the opposition, indicating a clash of disparate energies and personality signals. Relationships are likely to be a battleground; and your domestic life will remain unsettled whenever you struggle iwth unresolved inner conflicts.
While you are mentally alert and quite clever, one challenge could be how you apply your talents. Finding a satisfactory outlet could also benefit your inner balance; failure to do so, through lack of discipline and application, will only exacerbate personality conflicts.
You are capable of releasing restrictions from the past; but an idea path for you would be founded on well-established ways (the lunar influence), which also allow enough freedom to explore new horizons (to satisfy Uranus). The problem is how to achieve this balance.
Your usual experience involves relinquishing the past, so that you feel free to experience the new. How to do this without unnecessary disruption or pain - for example, by finishing relationships - is the challenge. This task is fundamentally the same one facing our culture during the transition from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius.
If you allow the Uranian impulse to dominate, it may sweep away most of your life
foundations. While this can create a temporary excitement at glimpsed potentials and a promise of unrestrained liberty, there will inevitably come the time when a consolidation phase to re-anchor roots is necessary. Unlimited freedom is hard to handle without losing stability.
Within relationships, several vital lessons may need to be learned. These are co- operation, commitment, responsibility, compromise, and shared decision-making. You have no innate right to be always dominant, authoritative, or right, expecting a partner to acquiesce to your will or bow to your need for freedom when you do not allow the partner the same rights. Changing your behaviour patterns to be more positive and creative will work wonders; and intimacy will become more fulfilling for all concerned. Don't reject your life-style as unsatisfying, or be tempted to 'throw it away' in search of new excitement: the key to working with the Moon-Uranus energy lies in using this to transform your existing life.
Ask yourself which areas you wish to change. Evaluate your needs, dreams and desires carefully to see if, by your deliberately transforming your current life, these could be satisfied without destroying existing foundations. Consider how you could change your life to create space for new interests; or consider which attitudes could be changed to renew life or improve your relationships. Most people fail to take advantage of their potential, or refuse to transform themselves and their environment to create a more enjoyable life. It is an individual choice; but for those with a rebellious streak, this energy can be used positively to change whatever is not suitable. An active, not passive, approach is required. Exploring the contemporary self-help technique of N.L.P. is recommended.
Moon square Uranus (Robert Pelletier)
The square from the Moon to Uranus shows that you are emotionally impulsive and erratic in your behavior. If someone crosses you, you reply abruptly and may even be bad-tempered with those you love most. Your hair-trigger temper fires away, especially when you are emotionally aroused.You must exercise greater self-discipline in order to control your outbursts, many of which are unnecessary and unjustified. Because you are accustomed to having your own way, you can't stand being challenged. You have many lessons to learn, and the first is submission. The freedom that you demand you must give others as well, or you will encounter many problems in your relationships.
You are bright and ingeniously clever. When you gain more self-control, you can become a smashing success. Your talents are suitable for teaching, writing, research, or politics. You have the ability to successfully handle or represent groups. A born fighter for equal rights, you can vividly depict to others the freedom that they have been denied.
Your impatience and impulsiveness may make you accident-prone. You lack caution in judgement, which encourages accidents. Your restlessness may be the result of early conditioning, when you weren't allowed to assert yourself at will. You tended to defy authority by rejecting responsibility. If others preyed on your feelings to make you yield to them, you may have responded with emotional arrogance.
Marriage can succeed for you only if you are willing to compromise. Because of your eagerness for personal freedom and your rejection of responsibility, you would be totally unprepared for a union except on your own terms. Your concept of marriage is of the old style in which one partner is the sole authority. But this structure has little chance for success today. Actually, you have a desperate need to relate to your partner on an equal basis. If you do, you will delight in your gain rather than malign

your loss.

Challenges will probably occur within intimate relationships. These will reflect the clash between old and new, between familiar behaviour patterns and the attraction of renewal emerging from a chaotic unknown. Your inner life may feel like a battleground, as these two different energies try to influence choices and decisions; and at times of crisis, you may feel almost torn apart.
A tendency toward mental and emotional stress will exist, arising from emotional instability and problems created in relationships through unpredictable and frequent mood changes. The impact of the Uranian vibration may create sudden changes in the erratic mutability of the lunar emotions. This can stir choppy seas into more dangerous storms. If you then release this tension through conflict with those closest to you - which is a common behaviour pattern - relationships could become quite stormy. Others' inability to rely upon and trust you will obviously affect the development of long-term relationships.
Your need for variety can also cause problems. This can be felt inwardly, where you easily get bored and lose interest in your home, employment, marriage, lovers etc., and then enter a phase of frustration if your need for new stimulation is denied. To break free from this tension, you may suddenly 'explode' toward new explorations, attempting to shatter all limitations and restrictions. This can lead to moving to a new house, changing employment or established careers to pursue other directions, or entering affairs or separating from marriage. You find responsibility and commitments hard to bear during times when the Uranian impulse is too strong and capable of breaking through the Moon's established defensive patterns.
What should be avoided is a repressive build-up of inner tensions, because if they 'explode' through you, their destructive quality will dominate, rather than their transformative intent. The first step lies in acknowledging this inner pressure, and then learning to release it slowly and with conscious control, directing it into suitable channels as a natural development of your life. Accepting this impulse for new experiences and interests can be adequately handled, if a continuous element of exploration in your life is sensibly allowed to operate in appropriate ways. This is and essential 'safety valve' to develop for your well-being.
Understanding this tendency will help in choosing a suitable partner, one who accepts this need of yours and is both capable and willing to compromise when necessary in helping you to find ways to safely release tensions. Any progress made in integrating your emotions and mind into a functioning whole will reap considerable dividends. Self-help techniques devoted to personal wholeness could be explored, offering potential positive development. Attempts by you to impose eiither emotional or rational dominance on your inner life will lead to additional friction created by the ignored planetary energy.
Feelings of instability that often persist also diminish your self-esteem, resulting in insecurity. You may lack a firm personality centre, fluctuating between Moon and Uranus, between emotion and logic, finding a home nowhere. You could find it useful to experience your emotional depths as deeply as possible. Let them rise to the surface; feel and understand their intensity, without cutting them off whenever they become unpleasant by an 'intellectual put-down' as inferior and not part of your preferred self-image. Equally, your mental interests and pursuits should be emotionally resonant, drawing both levels together. As your nervous system is overamplified, attempts like these help moderate and balance the flow of combined

energies, thus making it easier for you to live with others without frequently feeling a restless obsession for change.
Moon opposition Uranus (Robert Pelletier)
The Moon in opposition to Uranus indicates mental and emotional stress. You are trying to integrate your feelings with logic to achieve a better balance between your inner and outer lives. You constantly feel the need to make decisions involving others, and these decisions cause you much emotional turmoil. If your feelings dominate, you alienate yourself from others, but if logic prevails you feel crushed. Only experience can teach you to compromise so that both impulses are satisfied. The whole process will succeed if you are patient; this conflict can be resolved.
The crisis lies in your insecurity about projecting yourself in relationships that seem threatening. You are eager to make contact with others who will respond warmly to you. The important thing is to be yourself, realizing that others may have the same apprehensions you have. People will warm up to you
and become friends if you give them the chance.
Your occupation should involve you in the personal affairs of others. In helping others to acquire self-confidence, you will increase your own. Teaching is especially recommended because it will force you to project your creative abilities. The constructive results you achieve will make you more totally aware of your potential development.
You may become involved in the most unusual romantic alliances. You tend to innocently form attachments with individuals who are either already attached or at least spoken for. You have a fascination for bizarre or complicated relationships. Perhaps this is your way of avoiding responsibility, which can never develop in such situations. You are emotionally promiscuous even if you never actually indulge in physical promiscuity. Others will insist that you put up or shut up.
Try to get as much rest as you can. Your keyed-up nervous system can seriously affect your digestion. A serene outlook will do wonders to help you avert physical distress.
Natal Moon quincunx Uranus
(Robert Pelletier)
The inconjunct from the Moon to Uranus shows that you must solve your emotional problems before you can really feel free. You may be distressed by the fact that as soon as you solve one problem, then you discover another. However, in this process you become skilled in dealing with recurring crises. In time, they will no longer occur - and you will be free. The difficulties you experience are a direct result of conditioning by your parents. You were emotionally unprepared to accept the burdens you were expected to carry. Because of this you felt guilty and tried to do whatever you could to rid yourself of this guilt.
In serving others, you overreact emotionally, always hoping to finally be released from the necessity of serving. You develop many skills to enable you to succeed in your job. Your best field would be one that involves teaching groups to develop their potentials. You could also use your talents for optimum effect in medicine, and receive meaningful rewards. Research and development would give you access to constructive avenues for future expression.

Be careful that you are not abused by people who claim that you alone can satisfy their needs. This is a confidence tactic to gain your submission and willingness to serve, even though others could do equally well.
Your sensitive, emotional nature should warn you not to become trapped in distressing situations. Your resistance is low, and you could suffer from nervous ailments caused by the pressure of your burdens. It is important that you prevent this by refusing to do anything beyond what is absolutely necessary. Rest and relaxation are essential and should be an integral part of your life.
In your romantic attachments, you may find that you often play the servant role. You hope to be relieved of your problems by marrying out of them. If you feel no guilt for what you haven't done, there is no reason why you can't succeed in this.
(Karen Hamaker-Zondag)
At the same time as these people look for peace and security (Moon), they are somehow confronted with the opposite (Uranus). The harder they work to achieve an atmosphere of calmness and confidence, the more inclined they are to throw a spanner in the works by sudden uncontrolled outbursts or by creating such tension that others shrink back from them. Also they can adopt a very independent and provocative attitude in order to be themselves; yet, even so, they do not feel comfortable and remain a prey to gnawing uncertainty.
With this rather elusive hard aspect, these people are often extremely restless and are forever seeking new ways of making good. The urge to cross boundaries and to be original play a big, if generally unconscious, role here. If only they would look back on what they have already achieved, they might be struck by how resourceful and creative they can be: frequently coming up with the most unusual solutions - which work well more often than not. Skill and sudden insight are characteristics of this aspect, but these people are unaware that they possess them and therefore have little confidence in themselves. Owing to this lack of self-confidence, they do not take kindly to interference frmo others or to being told what to do. By way of overcompensation, they can even adopt an 'I know best' attitude.
Once they realize that uncertainty is not inevitable and that the need to be original and individual has a different aim from the need for security, they can achieve much with their inventive-creative way of doing things and with their unusual interests.

The physical influence of the mother is indicated by the Moon sign of the child. When Uranus quincunxes the moon, Mom's reaction to emotional tensions and life in general is hampered by the qualities of the sign Uranus is in. The aspect indicates a strain, so she had trouble relating emotionally but it wasn't big trouble. The child will pick up her habit pattern and will have vague feelings of emotional disturbance that eventually take their toll in terms of health. The aspect can be worked out by understanding that all the qualities of the chart need to be expressed in some positive manner.
With this aspect, the emotional needs of an individual may not set well with the peer group requirements, and some comfortable middle ground will have to be found
