Sun – Moon Square
(Transit. Sun → Natal Moon)
Various Sources for a Child’s Horoscope
Conflict between unconscious needs and the outer personality. The child feels compelled to act in ways that ultimately make them feel bad. Typically, this is a result of wanting something they don’t actually need. Sometimes it indicates difficult relationships between the mother and father. The family environment in childhood complicates the understanding of the opposite sex, which hinders harmonious relationships.
Het Monster. Aspects
A split between the conscious and subconscious. Behavioral norms adopted by the conscious mind hinder self-expression. Subconscious aspirations are often hindered by home and family. The environment within it during childhood complicated the understanding of the opposite sex, hence – perpetual discord in relationships with partners.
Katrin Aubier. Astrological Dictionary
Opposition, square: a disorder of the conscious and emotional spheres — an indication of moral discomfort stemming from internal discord and sometimes from an inability to approach members of the opposite sex. The personality, in this case, is unbalanced, capricious, torn by conflicting aspirations, and eventually resigns itself to the fact that there is no perfection in the world. Psychologically, such people divide all humanity into men and women, into two hostile camps (the perception of parental influence played an important role here), and mutual understanding and harmonious relationships between them are mostly impossible. In a specific application, it refers to difficulties related to achievements in the social sphere (Sun) and in the family sphere (Moon). Depending on which of the two planets dominates in the chart, the person will prefer one area over the other, but will never be able to realize themselves in both simultaneously.

Sun square: One should never blame the mirror under any circumstances. A Sun square places the Planet under the impact of disharmonious impulses of human will and imperative external circumstances. At the same time, the person themselves is not inclined, of course, to consider their volitional expressions disharmonious, and at a low level, they will not notice their own rudeness, rigidity, or incompetence, but will very subtly perceive these qualities in the environment and other people when the Planet’s principle is activated. At the second and third levels of working through the square, it will seem to the person as if there are external and internal enemies of the Planetary principle, whose goal is to prevent, sometimes in a crude form, its manifestation. For example, with a Sun square to the Moon, a person will from time to time, as if involuntarily, make crude mistakes and be tactless in dealing with women and, perhaps, secretly fear and dislike them, while simultaneously feeling a strong attraction to them, because the inner image of the mother-woman will be significantly distorted and active within them. If the Sun is in Aries, aggression and abruptness are possible; if in Pisces, false positions and erroneous initiatives with unpleasant consequences, and so on. Impersonal attention to what is happening in the Planet’s spheres; external initiative is allowed only when forced by external circumstances, and even then, to a minimal extent, as it usually leads to disharmonious consequences. From the perspective of inner development, this aspect is very promising for acquiring (in the Planet’s sphere of influence) true power over oneself and transitioning to serving a higher egregore, which means a more creative and internally free life. With good energy, one can try to master the disharmonious external will and direct it past oneself onto others — an aspect of dark teachers, especially with a prominent Sun square to outer planets. Working through it gives the ability to work subtly, following barely perceptible instructions from a high egregore, weaving delicate threads of the finest karma, sometimes pertaining to the distant future. Moon square: One should distinguish between people whose soul is asleep and those whose soul has already departed. A Moon square presents great internal difficulties related to the Planetary principle, especially in its perception. For example, a Moon – Mars square gives a feeling of rudeness and aggression from the external world in situations where it doesn’t even remotely resemble it, and conversely, a person can be aggressive and cruel without noticing it themselves. A Moon square makes the ego programs associated with the Planet prominent and visible: the person strongly desires to selfishly consume its principle, but external and internal life circumstances conspire against this, resulting in severe frustration, resentment towards the world, a complex of under-consumption, etc. They constantly stumble over them, and the more they pity themselves, the worse it gets. The karmic meaning of this square, however, lies not in straightforward asceticism and rejection of the Planet’s principle (which can sometimes lead to illnesses), but in a detailed and thorough study of the subconscious programs corresponding to the Planet, identifying their egocentric and evolutionarily constructive components, and establishing an adequate understanding. That it wants to consume it, directing the Planet’s vibrations entirely onto itself, but it succeeds poorly, or, if the Moon is significantly stronger than the Planet, a strong profanation of the latter occurs. For example, a Moon – Venus square can make a person a ruthless consumer of the opposite sex, who is subconsciously perceived (at least in love) as unequivocally primitive and crude, and to develop respect within oneself (i.e., a skill that prevents conscious and subconscious profanation). Working through it provides a good understanding and subtlety regarding the Planetary principle, and even insight into its action in another’s subconscious, which gives good pedagogical abilities in relevant areas; for example, a well-integrated Sun – Moon square is an aspect of a class teacher or a primary school teacher.

Weak health and a predisposition to functional and constitutional diseases. We have clarified what constitution is. Now let’s clarify what a constitutional disease is. The former earthly form suddenly becomes bloated, say, due to a lymph influx. It becomes all watery, or, conversely, becomes thin. And the entire system as a whole will be susceptible to the influence of cold.
Frances Sakoian. Aspects
Not as significant as other Sun squares. It creates a split between conscious and subconscious will, conscious and unconscious behavior. These behavioral norms hinder the expression of one’s own personality. A lack of balance leads to emotional insecurity. Often, home and family hinder creative expression. The family environment in childhood complicates the understanding of the opposite sex, which hinders harmonious relationships.
