Oh, that Moon! First we looked at its relationship with Mercury and saw how it could have difficulties in communicating and understanding events in ones daily life -- I linked this to "talk shows" on TV. Then we looked at how Moon related to Venus as found how nice-nice this combination tended to be -- a romance sit-com show on TV.
Now we are going to examine how Moon in one's chart works with Mars in the partner's chart. Together, in a natal chart, these two can be linked to a highly emotional, responsive, almost explosive personality. Split between two charts, this combination can work differently.
MOON conjunct MARS in the partner's chart:
Moon can be easily aroused by Mars, sort of a "reaction on demand" type of situation. To best understand this, we have to look at how Moon in a chart is linked to other planets in that chart because this can "condition" the type of response-mechanism triggered by the partner's Mars.
** One's Moon in good aspect to the Sun can provide a firm sense of self -- the partner's Mar's can provide positive energy and aid in imagination, visualization, a hopeful and positive role in the relationship.
** One's Moon in good aspect to Mercury can provide a balance between emotions and perceptions -- the partner's Mars will not tend to set off alarms or negative responses but will stimulate the mind thru conversation and those projects/activities that both engage in.
** One's Moon in good aspect to Venus will tend to produce a highly positive personality -- Mars can work well with this, feeding into the physical expression of the relationship (sex, artistic efforts, sports and exercise, etc.) in most cases.
** One's Moon in good aspect to Mars will be able to use the partner's Mars as a real stimulus in most cases -- but this can also lead to too much Mars energy to work well. Agressiveness and conflict can easily come out of this.
** One's Moon in good aspect to Jupiter may provide great expectations and a proclivity to "gushyness" in response to others. The Mar's partner may not deal well with this.
** One's Moon in good aspect to Saturn would tend to stabelize emotional levels, helping to better direct and work with the partner's Mars energy. The issue to watch might relate to "management" of the partner's Mars -- Mars isn't into being "managed."
So, to get back to the broad issues of Moon and Mars between partners. Arousal, response, hypersensitivity, vulnerability -- all of these are possible. Mars will assume that it can have its way with the Moon partner. Depending upon how Mars works with other planets in one's chart, this combination can work better in either the man's case or the woman's case. I know the cook books say this is a Man-acting-on-the-Woman aspect, but it can work either way in my experience. This combination is often a strong "romance" signature for those seeking a relationship, deep or shallow.
MOON square MARS in the partner's chart:
Mars tends to aggravate and pressure the Moon in this aspect. The right action at the wrong time, in the wrong way, for the wrong reasons -- you get the idea. Normally one might expect that partner's could set "rules of engagement" but neither of these two astrological bodies tends to listen to reason or act with prudence.
MOON opposite MARS in the partner's chart:
The opposition always tends to strive towards balance but that road is mostly a dynamic one -- first one prevails, then the other prevails. It a competitive situation more than a cooperative one -- especially when we have "act-now" components such as Moon and Mars involved. So, this denotes a strong attraction between couples, but it may not have enough stable time to allow the contention to be calmed and smoothed. So, if the prize is attractive, then be prepared to work on the relationship and give it enough time to form. Moon will deal with its emotional ups and downs, and will have to not feel always pushed or crushed by Mars' abruptness. Mars will need to find ways to deal with the emotionalism of Moon when it isn't appreciated.
MOON in sextile or trine to MARS in the partner's chart:
These aspects tend to find minute-by-minute ways to blend these two energies, to find the best solultions and experiences. For romance, for running a household, for friendship, for managing a partnership -- this works well in almost all cases.
I hope these observations can help the list members better understand their relationships where these two planets are in aspect between their chart and their partner's chart. I hope we can a little more sharing and comments than we have in the past couple of postings. Dave
