Saturn transiting opposition natal Moon

This is a transit that not always is shown through clear facts, but that at a psychological level can be very significant and hard. It is as if Saturn were asking us to take a journey inside ourselves, removing coverings to reach the root of things, to what is really worthwhile: therefore it will aim at taking away our illusions, and emotional attachment to things, images and obsolete self-images. When Saturn transits opposite the Moon often expresses itself in his function as "gardener", when it cuts the "dry branches" of life even if we think that they are still green: sometimes mature women may reach menopause, mothers have to accept their children growing up or leaving the nest, moving away and becoming free; other times sentimental relationships may come to an end, or more generally a phase of existence ends, characterised by those relationships or by the idea we had about them. In the square aspect something analogous can happen, even if sometimes nothing at all happens. We realise that time has gone by, life is no longer what we once believed in and, perhaps, it has never been what we wanted it to be. Disenchantment, melancholy or regret can accompany a period of solitude, a lack of appetite, both real or metaphorical, and even become depression if we let these feelings nurture in our soul; vice versa, if we are able to use and not be dominated by this transit, we will be able to re-join our inner reality with the external and objective one, based on ourselves having become rightly (albeit forcedly) more honest and mature.
