In these texts, A is the person whose Moon is read and B the person whose Mars receives it.
Mars represents physical energy, action and courage, as well as anger that is expressed or builds up.
Facilitating contact
B stimulates A and makes A more ready to act. A’s imagination finds a drive that goes beyond thinking up projects: B tends to set them in motion and invite A to take part.
That is why it is described as one of the Moon’s most favorable aspects for putting plans into practice.
Obstructing contact
A may feel attacked by B and react with particular sensitivity. Some arguments may start from assumptions that need to be clarified.
The description does not allow anyone to conclude that an aggression is imaginary. Pay attention to what is actually said and done, rather than using the aspect to invalidate one of the people’s experience.
Aspects of the Moon
The Moon represents imagination and daydreaming. The person whose Moon takes part in an aspect may spend a lot of time thinking about their partner and about what happens between them, without the other ever coming to know that inner world.
These are impressions that are often not put into words. Even so, they influence how we see the other person and what we imagine the relationship could become. Within the system, the Moon is also linked to the way we manage time.
When studying these aspects, it helps to distinguish inventories 1 and 2. Some reactions come from learned family and cultural models. Others are interpreted here from the astrological configuration. Confusing the two levels can lead us to attribute a more complex experience to a single cause.
