In these texts, A is the person whose Moon is read and B the person whose Venus receives it.
Venus relates to the way we give and receive affection, physical closeness, sensuality and pleasure. Its interaction with the Moon links these themes with the imagination.
Facilitating contact
A imagines that physical closeness with B could be especially pleasant. Fantasy and daydreaming can stimulate a sensual, seductive attitude in B.
If there are no other elements of affinity, the experience may remain in the imagination. When there are aspects that favor closeness, especially those involving Venus, this combination can heighten sensuality and physical enjoyment.
Obstructing contact
A may imagine that contact with B won’t be pleasant, or interpret B’s attitudes as rejection. A doesn’t always say what they feel, and that reserve can create distance between the two.
Imagining what the other person wants is not the same as knowing it. The other points of compatibility can help moderate the difficulty.
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.
