The Moon square Neptune

From Astrology In Depth

With a Moon - Neptune square, dependant on the signs and houses of residence, the individual can be caught in a cycle of guilt and compensation, the Moon can nurture through addictions, demonstrate lack of boundaries or aim to disolve them, aim for fusion in a manner that fails to recognise other individuals' wants and needs. The native's mother might have been perceived as weak, unstable, needy, helpless, reluctant to sever the ombilical cord, or if these attitudes were not overtly expressed, they could have been implied through sacrificial attitudes, martyrdom and manipulation, creating guilt and then granting forgiveness, or by withrawing and withelding affection and thereby forcing complete capitulation. To work positively with this square, the native can use their long emotional tentacles, profound emotional empathy and intuition to serve rather than manipulate, service best expressed through the intermediary of house/sign positions. For example an individual with Moon in Pisces in the 4th house square Neptune in Saggitarius in the 2nd, might be the perfect host in a rehabilitation centre, where he or she would be allowed insight into the emotional life of others, and they would have an appropriate outlet for the need to serve, care, give freely and so on.
