Motherhood and Your Moon Sign
Your Moon sign, and any patterns (aspects) involving the Moon, shows you what kind of mother you are, and what sort of mum/mom you might be, one day.
It’s uncannily accurate.
Lady Victoria Beckham, Moon in Aquarius
Lady Victoria Beckham has the Moon in Aquarius, the sign of groups, teams, charities, bands and clubs.
How did she raise Brooklyn, Romeo, Harper and Cruz? As if they were in the Spice Girls. As if they were in the England football team or Manchester United (David’s best-known teams). As if they were in the United Nations or Save the Children.
Lady Beckham has, in fact, used her maternal instinct in Save the Children and also with UNAIDS. Moon in Aquarius mothers do best with husbands and fathers, who appreciate their team spirit. (Image: Creative Commons).
You’ll read all kinds of things about Moon signs and compatibility with men. The most famous study on the Moon and marriage was conducted by Carl Jung. It didn’t work. The Sun in one person’s chart, in conjunction with the Moon in another’s, was supposed to be a good marriage indicator. It wasn’t.
What does work, though, is knowing your Moon sign (and the sort of maternal instinct, or caring, feminine heart you have) and finding a man who appreciates it. Not surprisingly, for such a team player, Sir David could not resist Victoria.
Easy Motherhood or Difficult Motherhood?
You need a personal birth chart to spot this. Patterns, or aspects, involving your Moon will show you if a son is an easy responsibility for you (or not). They will show if your daughter will throw you challenges, or be one of the happiest stories in your life. Typically, we all have mixed Moon aspects or patterns. If you don’t have a full modern astrology chart, you can subscribe for US $7 and pick it up. For example, if your Moon is the same sign as a stellium (unusually high sign count) in your personal birth chart, you may be mistaken for that sign. You are very strongly and typically ‘that’ particular zodiac sign. Your children will really feel it too.
Using the Tarot and Oracles
Something else that may interest you, is using the Smith Waite Tarot and all the Oracles on this website to ask the question, ‘What do I bring to motherhood?’ or ‘What will I bring to motherhood if I have a son or daughter?’
You can also do a family spread. Just pick one card for you, one card for your husband or partner (or former partner), and one card for your son or daughter. How do you all work together as a family?
The Twelve Moon Signs
The Twelve Moon SignsMoon in Aries Mothers
They care for you by fighting for you. They look after you by competing on your behalf or coming first. School sports days find the Moon in Aries mother battling it out for the egg and spoon race like no other woman. This is a Tiger Mother. She is always front-and-centre and in the front line for you. Nobody messes with her children. Angelina Jolie has the Moon in Aries. She has six children with her ex-husband Brad Pitt. Three are adopted, three she gave birth to. Moon in Aries women can fight over their children (with their partners or exes) as well as for them. Jolie has adopted children from countries affected by war. She has also been at war, at various times, with partners. The Moon in Aries mother at her best is fearless, energetic, one of life’s winners, courageous, first in line for a good cause (or a good purpose) and the woman you want on your side. Not against.

Moon in Taurus Mothers
These women express their maternal instinct through money and real estate. Possessions. What money cannot buy (values). Also what is precious but goes beyond a price tag (home-made strawberry jam from home-grown strawberries). The Moon in Taurus woman has to decide in her twenties or thirties if she’s basically a capitalist, socialist, communist or environmentalist. Or just a shopaholic. Meryl Streep is a good example of a Moon in Taurus mother. She has brought up Grace, Mamie, Louisa and Henry. Moon in Taurus women teach their children how to save and make money. In fact, earning pocket money is one of the first lessons they learn. Mamie was 20 months old when she had her first job (in the film Heartburn). Moon in Taurus mums/moms tend to be like Keira Knightley (another example) and think about their children’s future careers, even when they are very little. Keira’s daughter Edie wants to be a dentist. Always with Taurus Moon mothers, the question is ‘How will they earn a living?’ The will/legacy to the children is central.
Moon in Gemini Mothers
Moon in Gemini mother Tilda Swinton actually has twins (Gemini rules the heavenly twins). This kind of mum/mom is a natural teacher and will read aloud to her son or daughter from an early age. She commonly takes an interest in her children’s school and education (more than other 
parents). Gemini rules communication. Writing, public speaking, podcasting or debating. If the Moon in Gemini mother spends a lot of time with her child, they may end up with similar voices as her son or daughter picks up her accent or tone. Nicknames are typical; Gemini mothers tend to play around with words and there may be more than one nickname which sticks, in both directions. These women like bright children. Even brilliant children; the dream is often to see them do well at university or college. In case you’re wondering, of course men have Moon signs too and they ‘mother’ their daughters or sons accordingly. Barack Obama is a good example. Malia and Sasha received an open letter from him in Parade magazine. Gemini rules letters, cards, diaries, journals, websites and social media. Caring and nurturing reveals itself on paper or on a computer; Gemini Moon parents have a great way of finding the right words to express feelings. (Image: Creative Commons).
Moon in Cancer Mothers
Mariah Carey actually has ‘care’ hidden in her name. The Moon always reveals how we care, protect, feed (literally or emotionally), nurture, defend and express pure maternal instinct. She has twins, Moroccan and Monroe. Almost as important as the children, is home. In fact it is difficult for any Moon in Cancer woman to proceed with pregnancy unless she feels her apartment or house is her castle. Carey even named Moroccan that, because she was inspired by the Moroccan decor on the top floor of her apartment. It is important to these women that the family stays together and even if they break up, they will do their best to co-parent with their children’s father. Tradition is very important; unless there were real issues in the Moon in Cancer woman’s family, she will try to raise her son and daughter respecting old-fashioned customs her parents and grandparents also had. It might be Christmas and Easter, or Hannukah. You will sometimes read that Moon in Cancer women are the most ‘motherly’ of moms/mums because of course Cancer rules the maternal line. It also rules the womb and breasts. Is this true? It really depends on your personal birth chart. The patterns or aspects to your Moon show how easy or challenging it is for you.
Moon in Leo Mothers
Not so much a mother, more like a Queen with heirs to her throne. Maybe some spares or pretenders too (young nieces, nephews and godchildren all receive the royal treatment). If you want your Leo Moon mum/mom to make you her favourite, you have to court her. You need to respect her (obviously) and flatter her – sincerely. These women are natural leaders, mentors, guides and influences on the children, teenagers and Millennials in their lives. They are authority figures who understand that common interests bring them together with their son or daughter. Thus, the Moon in Leo mother usually has a passion for something (like Harry Potter books, or riding, or bands) which their children or teenagers can also enjoy. It’s almost a rule with this Moon sign. It’s not unusual for this woman to give her offspring royal names. Their first or second name may borrow from, say, the last few centuries of British monarchs. Julia Roberts is a Moon Leo and has a son called Henry. These women are always mindful of the need to set a good example. Manners are important. Etiquette counts. They take their role as mother very seriously and will give up their career to put their son or daughter first. Their home becomes their palace/kingdom.
Moon in Virgo Mothers
Virgo rules the body, mind and spirit and the Moon in Virgo woman does not separate them. She is her body. Her body is her. When it all works together easily in her chart, without any difficult aspects (patterns) this woman is like a well-oiled machine. Her food, drink, doctor, personal trainer, dentist, therapist, yoga instructor and so on – is part of her lifestyle – and who she is. Moon in Virgo women pass this mindfulness about health to their children. There is typically a tremendous concern with the contents of the kitchen and the bathroom; they have strong opinions about vaccines too. Madonna is a famous Moon in Virgo mother. She has Lourdes, David, Rocco, Stella, Estere and Mercy to her credit. Virgo is of course the virgin and ‘Like A Virgin’ made Madonna successful enough to fund a lavish lifestyle for her adopted and biological children. Motherhood is work, work, work to the Moon in Virgo woman. It involves routine, scheduling and a near-professional approach to the business of being a mum/mom. The only thing that stops this for a Virgo Moon woman – is her own body. She needs back-up for those times when she’s not 100% so this kind of mother commonly has a co-parent partner, nanny, or active godmother.
Moon in Libra Mothers
There is a great concern here with what is fair. Black and white, rich and poor, male and female, straight and gay, straight and lesbian – all the equality issues. In fact, if you have Pluto or Uranus also in Libra in your chart, you are here to play your part in changing the world, in terms of sexism, racism, homophobia and so on. You express your maternal instinct by helping your son or daughter to balance the scales with their partners. Even their enemies. You are first to step in if he or she is being bullied at school or unfairly treated by a wife or husband, when adult. Your feelings, instincts and emotions are tied to a great need for symmetry and harmony. Libra is the sign of the scales. It is also about a see-saw with two different people on either end. In your own marriage or relationship (with your child’s father) you may live this out, making it clear to your family that although ‘different but equal’ is what people say, what they do can be different, sometimes. That is when you feel most moved to try and correct any imbalance. You make a good mediator. Some women with the Moon in Libra become diplomats or judges.
Moon in Scorpio Mothers
You have strong, powerful feelings about any financial or real estate agreement with your husband, wife, partner or your ex. It has nothing to do with the numbers and everything to do with potent emotions. Your son or daughter will grow up knowing that these things matter; they are at the heart of your marriage or relationship and go beyond the accounting. Your will is an expression of your deepest and most complicated instincts about your child/children and also your other half. Nobody pours in quite as much time and energy into her legacy as a Scorpio Moon. The quality of your relationship with your partner or ex profoundly affects you as a mum/mom and you can never look at your son or daughter without seeing – your husband (say) or your ex. Perhaps, the wider family circle of in-laws as well, as you have the Moon in Scorpio in the Eighth House and in centuries past, it was about the dowry that you came with, or what you took from your husband’s family in terms of a house, or jewellery and so on. Your bookshelf or DVD collection no doubt leans heavily on sweeping drama. And vampires?
Moon in Sagittarius Mothers
Your maternal instincts come out when you travel, emigrate or find yourself heavily involved with a foreigner. You are the mother who takes her child on holiday abroad and realises she has turned into a protective hen. Wasn’t it supposed to be about cutting loose and having adventures? You can also express your maternal instinct actually towards foreigners; you take on sponsoring an orphan in Asia, for example, or are emotionally involved with other cultures and countries. All this can happen even if you never leave home. Yet you don’t really feel comfortable in your own skin until you have given yourself permission to explore; to wander far and wide; to emigrate. The Ninth House, where we find your Moon, also rules universities and colleges. It rules publishing and the ‘world’ part of the worldwide web. You may find an outlet here as your need to be needed – gravitates towards students. Perhaps academia is your natural professional home, or you may express all that feminine caring instinct towards foreigners on social media. The book world may also attract you; you genuinely care about writers and readers if you have the Moon in Sagittarius and it goes way past work.
Moon in Capricorn Mothers
Ambitious for your son or daughter? Of course you are. You have the Moon in Capricorn in the Tenth House of social mountaineering. You show you care by helping them up the ladder. We all know about nepo babies, but you are a practical mum/mom who will use family connections to get your son or daughter ahead, if you wish. The Moon in Capricorn is about looking at the top people; the top of any profession; the peak of achievement. It moves you emotionally and you are prepared to invest all your maternal instincts in your child’s education. Other advantages which might help him or her get ahead in life (a loan; a car; a financial gift) come naturally as you are sensible enough to know that people who do well in life, are hoisted up by their parents. It matters to you very much who your child mixes with as a student or younger adult; you take a dim view of the wrong sort of company. Which mother would not? However for you it is a serious matter. Any undesirables, be they friends or dates, are dealt with in a down-to-earth way. You are the most emotionally grounded, stoic, resilient and patient of the Moon signs.
Moon in Aquarius Mothers
You feel at home in a group, club, team, society, association, charity, political party, band, ensemble cast and so on. You mother them all. You make the tea or take a broad, protective approach to everyone as a whole. For this reason you gravitate towards official roles with these kinds of circles (for example, managing a social media group) but it can also become your career (a senior role with the United Nations). Your emotions are directed towards friends. If your children are your friends that works extremely well. Your son or daughter must understand how strongly you feel about your brotherhood and sisterhood in life. In fact they matter quite as much as family and sometimes more. You are the ‘friend in need’ who is a friend indeed and will mother anybody whose own parent is absent or not up to the job. You accommodate friends; offering them a room or dinner. You’d be good at running a Youth Hostel, for example, or more ambitiously, being the guest host with a visiting sports team. Aquarius is an air sign. You have a light, airy, breezy touch. Not so much ‘everybody hug and cry’ as ‘let’s sit outside for lunch.’
Moon in Pisces Mothers
You were born with the Moon in Pisces in the Twelfth House of solitude, spirituality and psychic ability. You have a strong feeling for your children which dissolves the usual boundaries. You may be telepathic with a son or daughter. They may appear in your dreams with meaningful messages, or you may appear in their dreams too. If the religion you grew up with is still your faith, this will be central to your parenting. You are the mother who knows that being a godparent is so much more than doling out Christmas presents, for example. Or, you are a Hindu, Buddhist, Jew and so on who can’t conceive (of conceiving) without your beliefs protecting your child. If not religion, then paganism, a great trust in psychology or psychiatry, meditation and so on – crystals and auras, the spiritualist church and so on – are all where you are emotionally invested. Nobody else can see or understand what is so important to your heart and soul, except perhaps one other confidante. You also need to be alone. A lot. Your son or daughter needs to respect this and sympathise with it, as does your partner. It’s just who you are.
I hope you have enjoyed reading this guide to the 12 mothers of astrology. Understanding Moon aspects and patterns and particularly any placements in Cancer, Leo and Scorpio can also help. I have some time for questions this week and if you are a Premium Member can read your chart. Thank you.

And if your Cancer Moon (in exact conjunction with the Sun) is squared from Mars in Aries, Jupiter in Libra and the Nodes (Ketu in Aries).
That’s a T-Square, if they are all within a one degree orb of each other. It’s crosstown traffic, to quote Hendrix. It’s also karmic in nature. The nodes are always your past lives. So you have regular traffic jams, or tricky intersections, about motherhood. They come from what happened to you last time. The Tarot and Modern I Ching are free to use on this website and you can ask, what that was. It could be useful.
Hi Jessica, Thank you for this article. Waiting for part 2 to read about the Moon in Aquarius which is in my chart. I pulled the 9 of cups card, Foreign Influences (Garden card) and Modesty (I Ching). In my past convos through comments, we have touched on the Cardinal grand cross with one of my daughters as she is a Libra and I am a Cap and my husband and 2nd daughter both Virgos with a muted cross. I have been the breadwinner and my husband giving unconditional love and support throughout for the kids. Would love to get your reading to see how the family connections and union will be in the future. My husband’s moon is also in Aquarius, one gal’s Moon in Virgo and the other is Scorpio. Thank you!
Yes, the Moon in Aquarius is part of next week’s feature. You and Lady Victoria Beckham! It’s not unusual for a woman’s husband to also have her Moon sign. The pair of you would be invaluable with a club, team, band, charity, committee, association and so on. Your Tarot and Oracles are picking up foreign influences for you as a mother. You may want to read again, as it’s not showing in your chart, specifically for you as a mum. Yes, foreigners and foreign countries are central, but not in terms of your children.
I have two children with different fathers.
My daughter is Scorpio Sun, Aquarius Moon and her father is Aries Sun, Gemini Moon. We had issues on and off for years (that Scorpio/Taurus opposition makes sense to me now) but we’ve come back to a real closeness, even living on opposite coasts. I believe her father played a role in creating distance between us during those years.
My son is Aquarius Sun, Leo Moon and his father is Scorpio Sun, Cancer Moon. He was always the easier relationship and we were genuinely close even when we were not living close to each other. He called at least weekly. His father actively worked to create distance between us throughout his life and I suspect that continues even tho he is an adult and many years have passed. Now with a serious girlfriend in the picture the drift has grown and I wonder if those two influences are compounding.
Two questions if you have time: What does the daughter reconciliation arc tell me about what finally worked between us, given the father was also a factor? And with my son, is this a Leo Moon transferring primary loyalty to a romantic partner, or is there something in these charts that suggests he finds his way back to closeness with me despite the ongoing interference?
Your Moon would have to be in a complex pattern in your chart, given the two different fathers for your children. It certainly is. You were born with the Moon at 9 Taurus, sextile Venus at 9 Cancer, trine Pluto at 10 Virgo, semi-sextile the MC at 9 Aries, quincunx the IC at 9 Libra, locked into the opposition from Hygiea at 10 Taurus, and Psyche at 9 Scorpio. Whenever people have a lot of factors at the same degree (+/- one degree) you get ‘It never rains but it pours’. It’s all or nothing. The signs and houses tell you what is so extreme. With you it is money, family, property, housework, partnership and money again. Any time you have a slow-moving outer planet or node going across 9, 10 degrees some very old patterns come up for closure (if you can). Your are heading that way, with Jupiter going to 9 Leo, Saturn going to 9 Aries, the North Node going to 9 Aquarius and South Node going to 9 Leo. By 2027 it’s a case of ‘one more time’. The biggest deal here is the money, the house, the possessions and/or the apartment. The will you have made, presumably naming him, and the will that his father has (I would guess) have made out to him. Or not? As you will be heading for Chiron at 9, 10 Taurus and eventually Saturn at 9, 10 Taurus – this is a really good time to sort out your life budget. To examine the paperwork. Perhaps to seek professional advice. Once you get to the end of the 2020’s, you will have to deal with the numbers. It’s always wise to do this before you have to; see what is possible now.
Hi Jessica,
Happy (God)Mother’s Day to you! May I ask you why my Capricorn Moon has me in this life with a few Capricorn Sun godchildren that I love deeply yet turn my hair grey? Seriously! Thank you. Best, Cecelia
Thank you Cecelia. Actually, Godparents’ Day is June 7th so we wait until then. You have godchildren who turn your hair grey. Why is that? Uranus at 14 Leo and the North Node at 14 Libra will do it. Uranus is in Leo in the Fifth House of godchildren. The North Node is in Libra in the Seventh House of partnership and enmity. The North Node shows your past life. So you may have been married to one of these children or at war with them. There is a direct tie between this and the regular upheaval you experience with them; Uranus in the Fifth House is always ‘the predictably unpredictable’ and although there are many ways to experience this (some people have shock pregnancies to deal with and the partner insists on having the baby) if you are child-free then you will experience all the famous instability, occasional shockwaves and ultimately the freedom of Uranus in the Fifth, though one of these younger faces. The Tarot and Oracles can show you if indeed you were married to one of them – or indeed at war.
Dear Jessica, thank you.. A lovely gift to your women readers. And a lot to think about. I am a pisces born March 20th and my mother was born February 20th. She was a very young mother (Born 1940) and had two children. My older sister and me. My daughter was born 1995 and after I seperated from her father when she was 2,5. I brought her up on my own, however she left and moved to her father when she was 16. Since then we have barely any contact, I would never, never imagined this development as I always tried my best and had good people accompanying me. I was very glad when I discovered your page a couple of years ago, after going through crisis and crisis. Even though I am now 62 I really hope that I still have the chance of improving relationships. And have your last advice in mind. The interesting part is that my young colleagues approach me and ask for advice of my point of view, that is quite healing and very nice vice versa I think. I hope that I have the chance of meeting someone and building at least a friend/ relationship. But as I am working most time of the day and other days in the gym for my back there is barely any more time. But I also have in mind that you said there is a chance of changing things from July and my biggest dream would be to return to the UK whereI always feel more at home, in my current home country which I am part of naturally it is very difficult at the moment
Happy Mothers’ Day. I am sorry you’ve had no contact with your daughter. You are 62 now and find younger women at work seek you out as a mother figure. You also want to go home to the United Kingdom. This all sounds like the same story in your chart; the Fourth House. That’s ruled by Cancer. The North Node at 7 Cancer, Mercury at 6 Aries and the South Node at 7 Capricorn give you a T-Square. A T-Square is taught, tense, tight and ‘traffic’ jamming in your chart. It looks like a T-Junction. Because the North Node (karma) is involved in Cancer (the family) your past life involved your daughter and her father. Perhaps over more than one lifetime you have agreed to reincarnate together to find closure. You have all made soul contracts in your life between lives. I have seen past lives going back to the Bronze Age with people who have Cancer-Capricorn nodes. Sometimes you can dream what happened. Sometimes the Tarot or Oracles will tell you. As this is such a huge issue in your life, it’s a good idea to try and get at least some idea of what might have happened the last time. You can meditate on that and ask your guides. You can program yourself to dream the answer. You can use the cards. The T-Square never goes away but it does ease over time; for example, when Jupiter goes to Virgo mid 2027 to mid 2028 it will sextile one node and trine the other; that’s rather useful and could help you enormously in a resolution.
Hi again Jessica,
This is really interesting, please could you tell me more about mine and my son’s relationship? His date of birth is 14/09/2017 so I know he’s a Virgo.
Thankyou so much for everything you do
Lucy
Lucy, he will have major questions about who is in control of your home, in terms of the housework. He will be quite sensitive to who has the power there. You or him. So treat any discussion about washing up, the laundry and so on with all the finesse of Churchill negotiating Yalta. His Sun is in the Sixth House of daily routine, unpaid work (like cooking and cleaning) and gardening, putting the bins out and so on. That’s his birth chart. In his solar chart he currently has Pluto transiting his Sixth House so for many years into the future he will interpret the housework as a power issue. The other core concern here is the legacy in which you name him (presumably) or any will which names him from another family member. It is very important that there is no room for confusion here.
Thanks, Jessica- I’ve been thinking a lot about different people’s ideas of successful motherhood because my oldest sister (1 of 5: I’m third in line) views our mother as a failure while I think she did amazingly well in challenging circumstances. Meanwhile, mothering my single son (Gemini, 18) has been surprisingly wonderful: I didn’t plan the pregnancy and raised him on my own, & we are extremely close. But I don’t obviously align with moon in cancer tendencies. My son and I moved around a lot including multiple different countries and can adapt very quickly to temporary homes. Also we have unconventional family habits as we live so far from where we came from: we always make tight familial friendships with lots of other strays:) Just wondering if you see other aspects of my chart that clarify some of these tendencies…? As he’s grown up, I’ve taken on favourite aunt status for a bunch of my young nieces and friends’ younger children. I really enjoy making things fun for them- this has been a new pattern since I didn’t really have time for that when my son was very young.
I wish ideas about motherhood didn’t lead so many to feel inadequate. I feel like genuine connection between generations is so much more important than maintaining images of motherhood and family that cause suffering for so many people…
Your Moon in Cancer in the Fourth House tells the story of you, your sister, your mother and your son – as well as your nieces and nephews. The aspects to it (patterns) describe your experience to date and also show the future. So do factors, generally, in Cancer and the Fourth House. You have a huge stellium there; Moon, Mercury, Venus, Vesta, Ceres, the MC (Midheaven), Aesculapia and Ops. In astrology, the Moon, Venus, Ceres and Ops are all mother symbols anyway. The Moon is the traditional caring, nurturing, protective, breastfeeding, cooking, sheltering mum. Venus is not a traditional mother at all; she is not necessarily faithful in marriage or partnership and has such a strong mother-son bond that her son’s girlfriend is an issue. Ceres is another type of mother; she is passionate about her daughter but struggles with admitting her daughter’s power and has to agree on child custody with her son-in-law Pluto. Ops, finally, is the clever mother who defies her husband to save her son, who redeems her. These are all symbolic rather than literal, but occasionally they can be exact. Beyond that, you have Mercury in Cancer so you are the woman who connects people, places and ideas within the extended family; the carrier pigeon who collects and transmits from one person to another. Vesta is about power and control issues between the two sexes; she typically turns up with one male/two+ female situations. So, for example, men with Vesta in Cancer often have two daughters, a former wife and a harem of women around them. The MC (Midheaven) depends on a strictly accurate birth time, but if you have it, motherhood is your peak achievement. It’s your mountain top. So is family and property, home town and homeland. Aesculapia describes who and what always comes back from the point of no return. It reveals how you work miracles to save places, people and situations – reviving them, even near-resurrecting them from the brink. In Cancer it can show somebody who renovates derelict houses or brings a garden back to life; it is also common in the charts of women who nurse family members or nurse relationships with the family back from the edge, so they are reborn. There’s a lot to work with in your chart, over your lifetime. I can see why you reject fixed ideas about motherhood and what it should be; you have many kinds of mother image hidden in your chart.
Wow- thank you so much for your detailed response, Jessica! It makes a lot of sense: your replies are better than therapy in my opinion. I remember being extra fascinated with the Demeter/Persephone myth when I was a kid (I went through periods of obsessive interest in saints and then Greek mythology when I was young). So I guess my attraction to unconventional but devoted mothers was already obvious in the stories that attracted me… thank you again.
And Happy Mother’s Day to everyone who provides care and support for the people they love, regardless of how they came into your lives:)
That’s very kind, thank you. Funnily enough you already were drawn to Demeter (Ceres) and Persephone (Proserpina) when you read the myths as a child. Something clicked. And Happy Mothers’ Day to all you mums out there.
Hi Jessica
I have three sons, eldest has moon in Libra next, moon in Taurus and then, moon in Cancer. I’m proud of all of them but my middle Pisces son is struggling and angry with me at the moment, (I hope it’s temporary) and was wondering if you could look at our situation? My eldest, an Aquarian, has just had a difficult time with a pregnancy which may not come to fruition. Each of them are starting something new in their careers.
Many, many thanks for your thoughtfulness x
Thank you. Both your Pisces son and Aquarius son are going through the same cycle: Uranus in Gemini. For your middle son, this is a time of chopping and changing with the family circle, breaking with the past and seeking freedom and independence. It’s long-term, past 2030, so he’s on the trail of more space and autonomy for several years. It would not only be with you; it may be with his Aquarian brother, his father and so on. It is not personal. Even if he were to move into a shared household, he would still be seeking some kind of revolution. Uranus is a symbol of radical change and rejection. One says ‘No’ or hears ‘No’ and from that comes the split which leads to a new life with a great deal more bandwidth for everybody. I’m sorry he is showing you his anger. Your Aquarian son has Uranus in his fatherhood and motherhood zone and again, independence and freedom is going to find him. The pregnancy which may not result in a child, is part of that. It’s intensely personal for him and very much his own journey. For your own part, you have Pluto in the same zone (fatherhood and motherhood) so you are all going through your personal transformation, together. What they are dealing with, changes it for you. And in turn, you slowly reshape your role as mum/mom. It will take quite a lot of self-control and willpower for you, ongoing, but you have it. And it does become easier over time.
Jessica, thank you. You landed directly on something I have never said publicly. My son’s father has significant money and uses it to control everyone around him, including my son. His grandfather also has considerable wealth. The interference between my son and me has never been emotional, it has always been financial at its root. My son is also now engaged to someone who is very drawn to that world, which I suspect will pull him further in rather than toward independence.
The will question you raised is exactly right. I have no doubt both the father and grandfather have structured things in ways that keep my son aligned with them.
Does what you see in these transits through 2027 suggest he ever finds his way to his own footing, separate from the money? Or does the cage just get more comfortable over time?
Yes, your birth chart does show the financial story. I also wondered about your son and any future wife. You can’t get around Psyche at 9 Scorpio in your Eighth House of inherited wealth, wills and legacies – without tests and trials. This is especially true because Psyche is in an opposition to your Moon at 9 Taurus. Under transit, when Chiron goes to 9 Taurus and then Saturn goes to 9 Taurus, you have that bridge to cross, as there is a huge gap between your values (Taurus) and those of your son, his father and grandfather; possibly your son’s future wife. What can you do? Keep the stakes as low as possible. Find out as much as you can about the legal position you are in. Go over all the paperwork. The Moon in Taurus cares through funding, producing, investing, saving – on behalf of her son or daughter. However every time you do this, another part of you blocks that; you have Psyche in Scorpio, the sign we associate with what lasts forever with a property, valuables, inheritance. Get to know Psyche and the Moon, and the signs Taurus and Scorpio, as fathoming them is halfway to managing them. And as I’ve said, keep the stakes low.
Good Evening Jessica
incredible as it seems, my moon, mom’s moon and my brother’s (alex) moon all in pisces! I’m sun leo, mom and alex both cancerian with venus in leo. my dad had moon in libra sun virgo. half my close relati es are emotional and the others intellectual with air and sag. We’ve felt different, that’s my question. can you add more to this pl? kindly, Vic, Drummond NSW
Thanks Vic. The key here is your mother’s Moon sign, your Moon sign and your brother Alex’s Moon sign all in Pisces, which means you all possess zero boundaries with each other. One or two of you are telepathic with each other. You do run on emotions. Feelings not facts. You also (all) need to be alone. A lot. Hopefully you figured that out a long time ago. Only when you three are quite alone, can you really find your feet. You have all been through a long period of being all at sea, as Neptune was in Pisces for so many years. It may have been with religion, Tarot, psychics, crystals, meditation, medication for anxiety or depression, alcohol, dreams, angels, fairies (even). What is invisible and solitary. Well, that stopped as 2026 started. This is very much time for you all to slowly get real again. One of you in particular would have been in over your head, for a year or two, but the confusion is over.
Jessica, Your reading is spot on, it feels exactly right, and I thank you. You cut through the layers of life to clarify an ask, amazing! Uranus and the sense that the rug has been pulled out from under me many many times is a life-long experience. The 8 of Cups is my initial card when I asked for further godchild information. Appreciate the GodMother Day correct date from you. Best, Cecelia
Thanks Cecelia. The Eight of Cups shows you walking away from disappointing godchildren (and presumably their parents) for a short time; you need a break from who or what is emotionally empty for you. I am sure you realise that deep down these people are solid gold, but you are entitled to take a holiday from it. You can remove yourself mentally and emotionally but it seems much more likely you will fix a getaway for yourself that moves you forward. When you return, and I assume you will, everything with look brighter and clearer with them as a new day dawns.
Hi Jessica, Thank you very much for the article. Aquarius moon and Scorpio sun here, my partner is an Aquarius sun and Scorpio moon. Not yet a mother but we are trying to have a baby. I always loved children and what is mentioned in this article resonates a lot with the idea of a team, friendship. I picked three of wands to what will I bring to motherhood question.
You would bring lots of fun holidays, perhaps a couple of house/apartment relocations, a spirit of adventure and ‘travel in the mind’ via the worldwide web to any children. You have been stuck in a repetitive situation trying for a baby, but that stops in the final days of July 2026. No more loop or rewind all the time. Your partner is the key here; he has the most unpredictable, changeable, completely unexpected, unique, unconventional future with babies, children, infants and teenagers – for years. It started in the last week of April. It goes past 2030 for him. Allow for anything and everything to happen with your household and family circle, for a long time into the future. He can expect what was never assumed or guessed, back before May 2026. Astrologers have to give up when they see Uranus transits as they are quite literally unpredictable, but revolutionary reshaping of his relationship with the younger generations is coming for him, most obviously from late May to late June this year, ongoing.
Thank you for the reading Jessica. Much appreciated. I did the cards again and this time I got these cards:
Tarot – 3 of wands
Garden: Recovery and Restart
Lenormand: Lily
I Ching: Calderon
The last 12 years have been tough and many attempts at moving forward has been almost futile with the girls. Sometimes, I have resorted to a level of detachment to survive so I don’t get ill from sadness and worry. The Recovery and Restart garden card almost gives me hope. We all want the same but stuck in the past causing unnecessary rifts. I would be obliged to get your reading of these cards.
If you were asking ‘How do I mother my girls, based on my Moon sign?’ the cards have again ducked your question. I think you were probably asking something quite different. Perhaps, just what you offer your daughters as a Mum. The Tarot has been faithful to your whole chart and told you – you give them the spirit of adventure, you take them on journeys, your expand their horizons by introducing them to other countries, cultures and nationalities. That is your Sagittarius and Ninth House stellium speaking. You have drawn Oracle cards which talk about mixing up old ingredients into something new. That is what you give them every time you start afresh on a new trip or relocation. So there you go.
Jessica, thank you. The Psyche opposition to my Moon explains so much. The financial battles with my son’s father over college, a shared property, years of imbalance, all of that has already played out. I have fully extracted myself and there are no remaining entanglements. I am taking your advice to keep the stakes low going forward and to protect my own ground. I just wanted to close that loop so you know the warning was well received. Thanks, again!
It’s a pleasure. It’s amazing how an astrology birth chart can show you an issue in five minutes, that would otherwise take five years to unravel. I am happy for you there are no more entanglements. Stay right across those forthcoming Chiron and Saturn in Taurus transits; kicking in from 2028.
Hi Jessica, OMG, you are so right on… I particularly did not ask the question “How do I mother my girls based on my moon sign” …. and it was right I alluded to how I was a mum….I did the cards again and specifically asked exactly in quotes and this is what I got:
Tarot: High Priestess
Garden: Many Oppositions
Lenormand: Mothers and Daughters
I Ching: Release
I miss them so much!
The cards answered true. In fact, you even pulled Mothers and Daughters. I am sure you do miss your children very much. Happy Mothers’ Day.
Thanks, once again, for the clarity in answering my query. You consistently show your members, the value of your astrological capability with kindness and wisdom. With kindest respect, L.
Thank you so much, L.
Hi Jessica, I’m an Aquarius Moon, and my daughter is an Aquarius Sun. She’s 16 now, and I’ve been thinking a lot about how our relationship is evolving as she becomes more independent. I sometimes worry I may come across as emotionally distant, even though I care deeply. How might our shared Aquarius energy shape our bond during this phase, and what should I be mindful of to stay connected with her?
She also doesn’t have the strongest relationship with her father, and I’ve had to step in more as both the emotional and financial provider. My husband hasn’t been working for several years, which has added some strain. From an astrological perspective, how might all of this be influencing how I show up as a parent and how she relates to me?
Warmly
Priya
Thank you Priya. You have the Moon in Aquarius in your Eleventh House at 8 degrees in opposition to Aesculapia in Leo in your Fifth House at 7 degrees. (We allow a one degree orb in modern astrology). This suggests an inner conflict for you, as oppositions are always a tug of war on the inside. Every time you care for her, as you would care for a friend, or people in the group (which is how you do it) you find yourself conflicted by your Leo side, which very much wants to lead, guide and mentor. Queen to a younger court, in fact. One part of you is Elizabeth I and the other part doesn’t want to know at all. You can ask the Tarot about a creative and constructive way to deal with the opposition. It also picks up Mercury at 8 Libra, so this is your communication, which tends to be with and about your husband. Libra rules the Seventh House of marriage and spouses; Mercury is how you get your message across. Again, you could ask the Tarot how you express that. The Oracles would give you a second opinion; commonly they agree with the Tarot but give you another perspective. You can also ask ‘What is the best way to express this?’ if you would prefer an alternative approach, Priya.
Hi Jessica. I’m 30 years old and not a mum yet. Sometimes I think it would be the most amazing and fulfilling experience possible for me, and I would be a fantastic mum because of the alternative life path I’ve traveled and all the wisdom I’ve gained. Other times I think, I couldn’t handle the constant pressure to meet others’ needs because I value alone time so much. My partner is 42, and he’s pretty on the fence himself, but wouldn’t want to wait much longer due to his age. He might have a roughly 13 year old son with a casual fling who claimed someone else was the father. Certainly fits my Leo stellium with Vesta and Proserpina. Part of me that yearns for the actual experience of gestation, birth and nursing thinks it wouldn’t be the same of course. Anyways, my Moon in Aquarius only has minor aspects which I haven’t learned to interpret quite yet. I’m curious what you can see.
Thank you. You have the Moon in Aquarius at 10 degrees quincunx Venus in Cancer at 10 degrees so your maternal instinct is expressed towards friends and entire groups, clubs, teams, associations, charities, political parties, ensemble casts, orchestras, trade unions and so on. Sons and daughters, or stepchildren, are mothered, just as your social circle would be mothered. Yet it always happens with a family (Cancer) relationship (Venus) which is complicated to say the least, as Venus is classically a symbol of mother-son attachment which intrudes on daughter-in-law relating, as well as inherent infidelity to a partner. Not that Venus plays out literally so much, but she is a symbol of multi-layered, challenging and complex connections, so in Cancer in your Fourth, she is probably pointing to your partner’s son; the result of a casual fling.
hello Jessica,
what a lovely post, thank you. I asked the Tarot how do I mother my son and received the ten of swords. I figured it was a mistake so tried again and received the 8 of wands. Well it is late I thought and asked how my Moon sign influences my mothering of said child (Leo, Virgo, Pisces stelliums) and got the Page of Pentacles. To be sure I moved to the sweet Garden oracle. ermm 57, escape plans. sigh. Any thoughts?
You drew three Tarot cards, not one, so will have confused the reading, unfortunately. You may want to go back to the beginning and start again. Thank you.
Hi Jessica – I’m a day late on this but maybe you are still fielding questions. I’m a libra moon and my son was born 6/11/19. I’m a single mom and used double donors to conceive, and I was able to carry and give birth to my son. So I worked really hard to have him! We are very close, but he is only 6. We are starting to talk more and more where he came from – I want him to understand from an early age and feel comfortable asking me any questions. I will always support how he’d like to move forward – if he’s interested in finding siblings, etc (the donors are confidential). It didn’t even occur to me how challenging this might be for him as I was in my frenzy of trying to have a kid, and I have a lot of fear around him being hurt or feeling alone. I want to do everything I can to support him and not smother him so he’ll continue to trust me and want to stay close as he grows up and into adulthood, but I do carry a lot of fear.
I understand. Motherhood is shown by Leo and the Fifth House in your birth chart. You have Saturn at 15 Leo, making patterns (aspects) with several other factors, either exactly or with one degree’s difference. Saturn is a symbol of fear so I am not surprised you use the word. If you read about Saturn in the Fifth House in any astrology book you will see this. Actually, Saturn is a process. It goes something like this. Throughout your life, you face issues about freedom, space and independence. Not just in terms of parenthood, but also sexually and emotionally, with lovers and partners. You take on the heavy burden of actually doing something about it. Then you realise there is karma involved in that. By taking action you have to be responsible for your actions. This can lead to all sorts of measures, methods and solutions as you try to avoid what you fear. These are not always in your best interests (an attitude you adopt, for example or an approach you take) and can actually complicate things. In any case it always works out. You find yourself delivered from difficulty, often by people or organisations best described as sunny side up. Optimists. From there you use what used to be such a burden to you, to make your own and other people’s world a better place. And then it all begins again! This is the famous Saturn cycle. Every time you go through another repeat you learn more, become older and wiser and you lower the stakes. Get to know your Saturn in the Fifth House. How can you best handle it as your son grows older? The Tarot and Oracles on this website are a good shortcut. Ask ‘How have I expressed this in my chart?’ and ‘How can I best use it in future, for myself and others, including my son?’
Jessica,
I’m a Leo Moon Mon. My daughter is a Sagittarius. I admit that the description sounds like me. As much as I love my daughter, I want her to come into her own. I have tried to be supportive of her in every way imaginable. Donald Trump’s cuts to many of the social welfare programs did not help at this time. I had to help her more than I used to help her, so that she would have food.
She is almost 30. I admit that raising her as a single parent hasn’t been easy, but she’s had more stuff than most of her peers. She is getting ready to change jobs, which I am relieved about because her other position didn’t pay much and give her many hours. Will she be able to move ahead now that she’s changing jobs? Also, her boyfriend finally secured a job, too, so I am hoping this is a step in a positive direction for both of them.
Thank you,
Caroline
Thank you Caroline. I am sorry you are going through such tough times. You are a single mother and you probably deserve a medal. Your daughter will end a stuck career cycle in the final week of July. Around this time she will also find herself in the company of a person or organisation which is best described as ‘the outsider’ or ‘the outsiders’ as there is no interest in the same old professional rules. Into 2027 she would be tempted to see what she can get away with, work wise. Her boyfriend, if she remains with him, could easily begin talking about children to her. She has major choices about parenthood up ahead. You are an Aries woman with a Virgo stellium overdue for lifestyle and workload improvements and these will roll in a big way from mid 2027 to mid 2028 when great opportunities for your wellbeing and way of life appear; you could easily win a new role then, be promoted and so on, but there are also gains to be made with your physical and mental health. In fact things free up there from the final week of July having been on a loop for a long time, Caroline.
Fascinating. Me and my sisters have moon in fire signs: I have moon in Leo opposite Uranus in Aquarius and trine Pluto in Sagittarius.
Not sure if it’s relevant but I also have aesculapia in Leo.
I have asked the tarot about what type of mother I would be if I have a son or a daughter and I pull the two of swords… not sure if it’s a good omen…
Your Moon in Leo is actually in the Tarot card you drew. Look and you will see it. Your Moon and Uranus opposition (motherhood or freedom) is also showing up in the card. ‘Should I stay or should I go?’ to quote The Clash. Should you have a baby, or not? This is lifelong and it’s quite important. As a mum, you would be conflicted, according to the astrology as an opposition is always a tug of war. The Tarot is echoing the astrology. Lots to think about.
Hiya Jessica
I am a mum of 5. I asked tarot cards if I am a good mum to my babies (young adults). I drew the Empress. I am single and trying to draw boundaries as I come across men who want to be babied. I’ve survived so far, not desperate either. what do you think Jessica?
oh, I apply for jobs but no-one gets back to me? I drew 7 of wands. strategy maybe? thank you for any positive feedback. Giovanna
You are a classic earth mother, intensely feminine, leaning on your evergreen love for your son and his for you. Venus and Cupid. I am not surprised men want you to baby them; you project old-fashioned goddess messages. You must know this from the way you dress, use your body language and greet the world. And you can do this for as long as you like, of course, but that kind of advertising does hit a certain demographic and mother-hungry men will be magnetised. Giovanna the Seven of Wands card in terms of jobs is about you versus the group or the group versus you. What was your actual question? If it was about future career then you are being told to avoid the situation right now. Try to sidestep gaps and differences, no matter if you are one against the many, or in the many against the one.
thanks Jessica. I tried again and got the Ace of Cups.
Much better. The Ace of Cups is often a symbol for the Christening font. It is also linked to Tibetan Buddhism and also the Indian Hindu religion because of the lotus flowers. It’s spirituality. That is what you give.
Hi Jessica, It has been a few days since I read your (second) fantastic reply. IT IS TRUE! In a blink you opened my eyes – I adore being here and learning much from you, about my life and the world we are in. Thank you. I am circling back to add, if I may, that after the 8 of Cups Tarot card you read for me that I went to your Garden Oracle deck and pulled the card 43 “Leaving the past behind” with an image of a bleeding heart plant, what my mother planted in her garden and I had literally just discussed with my sister! Amazing – brought chills; both cards seem to be about laying the past down. This Garden card speaks of a pattern which has not supplied one with what one wants, one could go back and clean up past situations if others are also willing but the emphasis is to journey (forward) alone to find one’s true self, to gather self-knowledge (which improves relationships). Gosh, your world is bringing an education to me and everyone who tunes in. You have created a special place here. Thanks again. Best, Cecelia
Thanks, Cecelia. The Oracles can sometimes be literal, people tell me. So you just saw the same plant in The Garden Oracle you were discussing with your sister. I will pass that on to James and Justin who create the digital decks with me.
Thank you Jessica. You give me hope. Wishing you well.
Hi Jessica, loved this article so much , thank you. I have the moon in Scorpio and have young adult children – a son and a daughter who were born after many years of IVF. My son married recently. In my chart I have nothing in Aquarius yet they are both very strong Aquarian with stelliums of 6 and 8 in Aquarius. I also have nothing in Libra yet my husband is Libra Sun, but does have a Scorpio stellium as do I. He has been a good dad thankfully . As a Scorpio moon mother as you described in the article .. I can’t relate to liking vampires at all , in fact steer clear of those types of movies /books etc out of fear ! I have enjoyed motherhood , challenging but also very rewarding as my children are thankfully , great. Would you be able to explain what all this means please . Thank you so much .
Thank you. Not every Moon in Scorpio woman will like vampire books, television and films. Though she may enjoy watching or reading about emotional vampires. High, intense, family and relationship drama. What sort of mother are you? The Moon tells you. One who watches the finances. In this you are the same as your husband who also has a Scorpio stellium. You have the South Node in Scorpio. You knew him and your children in several past lives. You have incarnated together to find closure with finance, property or valuables from previous incarnations and it will be worked out through your will, and any legacy which names you. You all made a soul contract about the numbers.
Thank you for this article Jessica. After years of debating whether or not parenthood was the right choice for me, I finally became a mother last year to a beautiful Leo boy. He’s pretty amazing, but things haven’t exactly been all roses lately between his father (Gemini sun) and I. Does does anything in my chart point to the dynamics between us all, or what motherhood in general will mean for me in my lifetime? I have noticed how close my moon is to my north node. Any insights you have would be greatly appreciated!
Congratulations on your child. I am sorry about the relationship with his father. This is the 15 and 16 degree opposition between Libra factors (partnership, marriage, de facto commitments) and Aries factors (your identity, reputation, name, title, appearance). You were born with mixed feelings about being a wife, for example, or even being in a professional or business partnership, as Libra and the Seventh House suggest all kinds of duets and double acts. It is possible that his birth chart shows factors at 15, 16 degrees, so is triggering your own. And yes, the nodes are involved, so your son and possibly his father too are very likely to have past life involvements with you. Soul contracts would have been made in your life between lives. The Tarot and Oracles here can point you towards the roles you played with each other or the issues that you are here to resolve, as well as the rewards to be collected. The slow transit of Saturn and then Neptune in Aries over 15, 16 degrees will bring you to an historic crossroads with the father in the years ahead and as this is about the Seventh House, which also rules the scales of justice and the law, it’s always useful to know the legal position ahead of time, as a parent. The Gemini father does have family karma to complete and this ends in the final days of July 2026. That’s based on his solar chart.
Dear Jessica, what a lovely gift from you for Mother’s Day. Thank you. I always wondered about the aspects my Moon in Cancer forms with Neptune in Sag and Cupido in Aries. What does this tell about me as a Mom? I have two teenage daughters. My Cancarian daughter has her moon in Taurus forming a sextile to mine. Our relationship feels very easy and harmonious. My Aries daughter has a lot of aspects to my moon (same degree or +/-1 Orb): Panacea in Cancer, Ops in Leo, Saturn in Virgo, Mercury in Taurus, and Asc in Libra and Desc Aries forming a T-square with my moon in Cancer. Our relationship has felt a lot more difficult in recent years, with many ups and downs, which is probably partly because she’s still a teenager, and I hope things will get easier as she gets older. Could you please tell me more about the relationship with my daughters? Thank you.
I’m glad you enjoyed the feature. Your Moon in Cancer is one degree off an exact aspect to Cupido at 15 Aries and Neptune at 15 Sagittarius, but you will still feel the square and quincunx, all your life. Any time you have a slow-moving planet or node going to 14, 15, 16 degrees the original pattern will be triggered and you have a choice; do you repeat yourself as a mother, or do you try a different way of handling what is there? Saturn will go to 15 Aries next so you and your daughters will probably be adults then; more likely to be of voting age, for example, or even going into college/a first job. Also, crucially, passing the age of consent. Cupido in Aries in the First House of reputation and appearance gives you an intensely romantic, passionate exterior – upfront, front-and-centre. You look like the kind of woman who makes the first move on a man. You look like the kind of woman who can fall in love with love – but also want to be first with someone, or come first in any competitive situation with women vying for men. The square shows you are conflicted about this side of yourself. Your Moon in Cancer is maternal, family-oriented, rather emotional, protective, nurturing and all about the house or apartment; the kitchen; the dining table; the security of the lock on the front door. This doesn’t really sit with you either, as your Aries side can’t square the differences. Neptune in Sagittarius locks into the pattern by showing how you escape from reality in foreign countries or with foreigners at home, or work. Perhaps online. Every time you try to be a mother, Neptune gets in the way by offering you holidays from the everyday with foreigners or foreign countries, other cultures and a world of no borders, no visas and so on. (People with Neptune in Sagittarius gravitate towards Europe for this reason). So – it’s complicated. You contain multitudes. Negotiating with the different sides of yourself is also about negotiating with the girls as they become women. When Saturn goes to 14, 15, 16 Aries you are very likely to have questions about where to live, how to live, how to get away from home (even temporarily) and how to be yourself when motherhood prescribes a role for you. The Tarot and Oracles on here can help you when it unfolds.
Dear Jessica
Thank you for this accurate and touching article.I am 67 (16.08.1959) Leo with a moon in Capricorn,usually associated with coldness,but it is more as you described stoic and resilient.Many times in my life this has been proved- divorced,widow,alone alone in caring about my two great kids Taurus son and Pisces daughter.I am planning to give to them financial gifts in form of two appartments for each-i am in negotiations to give my house for a big building (bunch of admin things alreafy finished).I learned you said 2027 to 2028 there is an opportunity for getting/saving big money.My question-will Saturn and Neptun will stop this given my Saturn and Moon in Capricorn?If not too much to ask-can you tell me please will my son continue his work in Iraq,temporarily stopped,and shall my partner foreigner Pisces (he has two great kids from two previous marriages)and me be able to start living together at least for longer period of time in the near future?As you say with Cappy moon we are patient,so near future for me can be 2 years in advance,although given the age it is a bit tricky.
Many thanks in advance and have successful work tomorrow,17th May.
Thank you very much. The Moon in Capricorn is not cold (unless you read old-fashioned astrology books from the 20th century, or internet astrologers who copy them). One cares for the children, grandchildren and so on, by being grounded, practical and down-to-earth about helping them up the ladder. This is exactly what you are doing; giving your children real estate. Congratulations on doing so well in life that you can offer them this gift. You are also wondering about the next few years. Your Taurus son has been in Iraq; his decision to return (or not) will be based entirely on what is on offer in terms of a house, garden and/or apartment as he will realise how blessed he is with one particular residence in the second half of 2026, first half of 2027 and that is the deciding factor; here or there. Your partner will be open to radically different ways of living with you which maintain freedom, space and independence for both of you. So, not a traditional living arrangement, but one with a great deal of room to move, long-term. You will notice this far more in late May to late June this year, but it is ongoing.
Hi Jessica,
I am a mum of 3 now in their thirties, pisces, pisces, scorpio and have 5 grandchildren under 8.
You indicated a baby arriving a while back who wasn’t expected but you were correct! She’s 7 months now.
Do you have any advice for me as a mother, being a grandmother and about my mother, she is a gemini so we are very different.
XX
Thank you for confirming the psychic astrology and congratulations on the surprise baby – another grandchild. You are a Pisces woman with your Moon in Sagittarius, so you look after your children and grandchildren by treating them when they are on overseas holidays, but also by looking after their education. You would have nursed the adult children through school, university or college (for example) and will do the same for the little one. Knowing about foreign cultures and foreign languages matters. Your own mother shows up in your Fourth House of family. You have Vesta there so it would be all too easy to compete with her (or have done so) regarding your father, any brothers, or any other males in the family. Even your own son or grandson for example. The way out of it, is to join forces with her and even laugh about it if possible, as one male in the family tree definitely enjoyed the fact that you and another female were in competition for his approval!
Hello, thank you. I am Leo moon. If you can see my chart, please can you help me to work on being a good mum, the best I can be. I am Pisces and I’m doing 5th house booking from today, thank you. From a previous comment I am understanding my relationship with my Gemini mother, and my Vesta in Gemini, it’s very enlightening and insightful, thank you.
Thank you. Vulcano at 13 Aquarius is in opposition to your Moon at 12 Leo. So, friends and groups challenge you to use your willpower and self-control. This gives you quite a lot of power, even though you have to push your feelings back with particular pals (even on social media) or specific clubs, teams, societies and so on. It always pulls in your love life, but also your child as well. That’s the Moon in Leo in the Fifth House of dating, the bedroom and parenthood. A really simple way around oppositions is to lower the stakes. So, for example, you would not ask a friend to be a godparent if that friend was already part of a challenging situation! You will have your own examples. The Tarot can clarify for you. You wouldn’t ask a male friend to act as father to any future baby, and so on.
Hi Jessica,
Your description of Leo moon rings true to me. Last year I took a job that has allowed me to be more present in my son’s life. This decision wasn’t hard to make, partly because my old job was very demanding and I didn’t have enough time to support my son in his school and sport activities. As I try to navigate this new role, I find myself questioning if I’m approaching the role of motherhood the right way because I’m finding out my son can be quite stubborn. My son is an Aquarius sun and my husband is an Aries sun. Can you provide any insight towards our dynamics? I have also booked for the Aquarius astrology delivery and I have seen several doors open up for him to grow, I’m just waiting for the next date in July, my last reading showed the tower. Although, my first feeling was of intimidation, I now feel it represents something stronger as rebuilding his current path towards success.
Thank you for everything you do,
JM
Thank you JM. You are a Leo Moon and have an Aquarius son with an Aries husband. You are also an Aquarian sun yourself. Leo and Aquarius are opposite signs. You are divided inwardly about being your boy’s mother (leading, mentoring, guiding, ruling) and being inclined towards the group, not the leader. Towards the people not the queen. Towards ‘all of us together’ not ‘me’. This inner conflict shows up in the relationship with your son who is being stubborn. Leo and Aquarius are both fixed signs. The Tarot can also help you resolve this and is free to use on this website. Ask ‘How can I..?’ and set a time limit.
Hi Jessica, I always read your articles with enthusiasm, thank you for sharing your interpretation particularly on global political events. It gives me comfort knowing what to expect! This time, I have a bit of a selfish query. I am in quite a messy job for 10 months now with lots of problems most of which out of my scope but significantly impacting my area of responsibility. There was also a restructure when I joined, and we have more work than capacity in the team (I got approval for some future hires so hopefully that will help). I am also pregnant (hitting the 3 month mark next week). I’ve been feeling a lot of anxiety about it all – I don’t think anyone else in my shoes will get on top of the problems (I am quite a good worker), but equally I don’t trust my manager. She has let go of pregnant people in the past. So I am wondering whether I am at risk or whether things will stabilise before I go on maternity (know on wood everything goes well). Thank you in advance!
Thank you. Congratulations on the new baby, but you are rightly wary of your manager ahead of your maternity leave. The job itself is messy. You are a Capricorn woman with an unpredictable workload cycle, which began in the final week of April, about a month ago. This is transiting Uranus in the Sixth House, so your daily routine will not be routine for some years. This includes parenthood, past the year 2030 as you have Uranus in Gemini in your Sixth House of duty, service, chores, unpaid work, paid work, study, schedules health, fitness and mental health too. A new way of handling anxiety is available to you; a daily method of giving your mind a rest. Perhaps you have already come across it since April but not followed up. It is very important that you have mental time out, every day, not only because of your manager, but also because of the huge change you are going through. Capricorn, Aquarius, Scorpio and Pisces stelliums in your chart suggest the main story in your life is financial; you were born with a big signature in the Eighth House of joint banking and real estate, but also family money and property. This is where you ‘live’ a lot of the time as you were born with complex relationships with partners or relatives woven into your personality and destiny; they obviously show up as numbers and calculations, but the actual price tags are intensely personal, emotional and multi-layered. From June 30th, transiting Jupiter enters your solar Eighth House, so this is a double whammy showing up in your solar and natal chart. Until July 2027 you are in an excellent position to make or save quite a lot of money, thanks to your partner and/or the family. Jupiter in Leo can do that for you, if you take the opportunities and answers. Meanwhile in your natal Eighth House, where all those Scorpio factors reside, there are very new questions. So, the missing person in this story is the father of your child, but we might also be looking at your parents, if they are still here, or perhaps other relatives. July and August 2026 suggests a rare solution for you. This is quite irrespective of the work situation. The golden rule with work now is that if you strive for space, freedom, autonomy and independence you are far more likely to have them with a minimum of disruption. However, if you deny your need to be your own person and if you ignore that part of you that needs the liberty, Uranus transits have a reputation for sudden upheaval. This is a basic rule of astrology; Uranus is the revolution that liberates and upheaval is part of any revolution, however if you consciously steer it, there is less chance of it happening to you – by outside factors. It is also very important for you to figure out a way to be a mother but also to have independence. Consciously addressing your need for freedom, despite the responsibility of being a mum, is a smart way through this transit.
