Moon and Venus aspects
The Moon and Venus in aspect describe how your needs and your affections fit together. Together, in step or at odds, they set how you give and receive comfort, love and pleasure.
You remember how people take their tea and which song made them cry, and you have never once forgotten a birthday.
The Moon is what you need to feel safe; Venus is love, pleasure and charm. An aspect between them makes affection a need, and how they meet says how easily you meet it.
Moon conjunct Venus
You are warm, gentle and easy to love. Comfort, beauty and closeness matter to you more than almost anything, and you create them wherever you go. A conjunction this sweet makes conflict painful, so you smooth things over, sometimes when you should not.
Moon trine or sextile Venus
Love comes easily to you. You are affectionate, sociable and graceful, at home with your feelings and generous with them, and your relationships feel safe. With the trine the charm is effortless; the sextile shows it best when you make the first move.
Moon square or opposite Venus
What you need and what you desire pull apart. You want comfort and fall for excitement, or want love and doubt you deserve it, and pleasure turns into a way to soothe yourself. The square is a restless inner tug; the opposition shows up as a balancing act with the people you love. Learning to ask for what you need is the turn, and after it your love is generous and steady.
