Afflicted Moon!

This topic was created in the Astrology forum by CancerKitten on Friday, February 20, 2009 and has 40 replies.
What is an afflicted moon and how do you know if you have one?
Can no one tell me?
Afflicted tends to just mean that something is badly aspected, like has a lot of squares, oppositions, conjunctions. If a planet only has these inharmonious aspects you could say it's afflicted.
It doesn't have to. Just means there will be challenges with respect to what that planet represents. With the Moon it could be a matter of internal struggles. It's these type of challenges that allow one to grow. If there weren't any inharmonious aspects to a certain planet, you might never get the experiences that make you realize more about yourself and possibly allow you to facilitate positive changes in your life.
There are certain things you might carry along your whole life. That doesn't mean that the way they affect you won't be changed or that you won't have improved yourself and how you deal with things. From what I've seen people with afflicted planets actually overcome a lot of situations and turn out very firm individuals.
Progressed charts are good to look into for what changes you might undergo and how placements and aspects can theoretically change or have different outcomes.
My moon is in Gemini and I have Sagi ascendent and sagi in two other places I think so theres some opposites for me.
I've also heard that in certain signs the moon is less fvourable. Liek it's falling in Scorpio which makes it difficult cause it's so secretive and intense
Absolutely the sign and house a planet is in will contribute to its experiences. This site has a chart that shows how the planets stand in every sign:

I have gemini moon but its on taurus cusp so I don't think it's too bad. Also I have a lot of Cancer so that seems to take over emotionally regardless of what my Gem moon may want.
I know a scorpio moon who is really secretive and not at all expressive of his emotions. They sneak out obviously but even when he's quite passioante about something it still seems liek he's holding something back. Like he's scared of how intense his feelings could be
My mars is in Cancer which is in fall apparently. What exactly does this mean?
Scorpio mooners are alot like Scorpio suns but less upfront. Mostly things are a private struggle within. IT takes alot for a scorpio moon to open up. It's definately a hard moon to have.
I have a Scorpio moon and sun smile
^Luckysmile
Yes, I'm quiet about my feelings. I don't like to ever admit that I'm hurt and vocalizing emotions makes me very uncomfortable. Considering that I am always feeling something very intensely all the time it's very frustrating for me.
I also have my Venus, Mercury and Jupiter in Scorpio and my Mars is in Cap.
It's extreamly hard for anyone to open me up. In fact I don't think there is anyone that knows me as well as they think they do. Some people have skeletons in their closet.... I have a freaking holocaust.
There isn't one person on the face of this planet that I can say I fully trust and I firmly believe that I never will.
And the orbs of the aspects could be like given here:

But do the nodes count too?
Is the Moon afflichted with

1) opposition to the Sun
and
2) trine to the North Node?

One plus and one minus makes zero, right? or trine is weaker? or nodes are not that important?
ah thanks Ands.
I was checking my Solar Return. There the Moon is in Gemini and hence afflicted by Oppositions to Sun, Mercury and Saturn.
They say in that case
in the upcomming year I will feel behind schedule. And will have difficulty keeping up with the pace of my life.


My natal chart has no afflicted Moon.

I have witnessed the art part since I did the exhibition art for my exams as they were scowled of my negative painting, children were poking fun nor even care if there's gore part and they rather like to see positive part.. Even though my art was more through expressionism. So they don't care of the art communication way, they only care of how good the art are.

Only 1 person who actually get the messaged of my art..



So it wasn't interpreted the way you had hoped?

But its still your art.

It has meaning. You must decide on how to change it or how you precieve critisim.

I have learned to never bring hope & dependent on others nor even expected what kind of responded will I get. If I do that, it will brings out the biggest dissapointed ever.
But it does give me the impression after that exhibition exams since it's stranger I was talking about the reactions.. They hate the negatives, but they likes the positives.


Negatives could be your best friend. Never let the negative derail you. It is fuel to your furnance.

I wish I have spoken to you sooner, I've been derailing myself as becoming depressed and lost in touch with friends.. Especially that I'm having difficult time making friends.


So you took failure, in terms of the responses from peers to your art, as an end all? Understandable.

Get back to your art!!!

You have much to share smile

Agreed!

All the best!
If any negative aspect means that that planet is afflicted, then all my planets except for mercury are afflicted. Is my un-evolvement of Neanderthal levels or what does it mean? Cause I was quite sure that I was at least of Cro-magnon levels. Was I wrong? *crosses fingers*

lol if so then you're more spiritually evolved right? Or so they say. The first time the "ancient souls" started to really separate and lose themselves from our natural instincts was when our brain hit Cro-magnon levels. Or so they say.

lol. Seems we're both scorpio dominant with moon and rising in gemini, but as far as I can see, he has "only" mars and saturn in scorpio, so no stellium.
