juno conjunct moon in synastry

[chrissymgreen]

dear all,

my juno in gemini 12° is conjunct my partner's moon at gemini 12° - i think they miss making an exact conjunction by maybe like 15 minutes. does anyone have any thoughts on what this might mean?

i know only a little about what juno represents - marriage and partnership. ive been reading a little magi astrology stuff, and they basically assert that juno linkages (especially juno-chiron, which we also have, my chiron trines his jupiter 6°) are purely sexual linkages. i think the phrase 'one-night stand' is used. scary. here is the link if anyone's interested:

i dont know, im interested in their stuff, because they do believe strongly that chiron is a lot more important than some astrologers may think. i like that idea, because id be inclined to agree, but they have some theories im not sure i agree with, and some of their beliefs about aspects sound pretty formulaic and rigid, like, if you share this aspect with your beloved you will NOT succeed. seems kind of black and white, and i dont think things are all that simple.

well, thanks in advance for any and all input.



sincerely,
chrissy

Hi Chrissy,

I think the Magi Astrology is interesting though the “black and white” nature puts me off. I don’t think it is ever that simple, or that…black and white!

I also don’t think anything can be reduced to “purely sexual” in expression. What does that mean? One night stand? I would never see Juno that way, so I’d have to disagree with them there.

Juno is about occult teachings, commitment, power, sexuality, the sacred feminine, and much more. With the Moon, she adds “the relationship principle” to our feelings, intuitions and responses. It increases sensitivity towards others. I wouldn’t see it as “detachment” in any way.

In Gemini, the contact from him on a “gut” level may increase your curiosity and interest in the occult, in relationships of all kinds and in your capacity to relate. He wakes up your Juno…you wake up his Moon.

You get him in touch with his feelings just by being near him, by being who you are. If there is talk of commitment, a lot of feeling is activated…and you WILL NEED TO TALK!

Gemini says COMMUNICATE.

Does this make sense?

Blessings,
Kim

dear kim & lunarscorp,

i agree with you both. im open-minded too, and wish to sort of take it all in, and i do happen to think the magi people have something with regard to their belief in the importance of chiron. however, i dont like their tendency of trifling things - and i think this is what occurs when you boil things down to this-aspect-makes-things-work and this-aspect-makes-things-not-work.

i think i understand better now what is meant by a juno-moon contact between people. i asked about this particular aspect because it is one of a few conjunctions we share that are extremely close (i think i mentioned the conjunction was by less than 15 minutes). the other conjunction we have that's extremely close is his sun-my pluto (about 20-ish minutes apart from being exact, i believe).

so his moon in gem conjunct my juno in gem means he may cause me to be more interested in relationships and commitment, and i probably cause him to be a bit more in touch with his feelings, right? its clicking now; i activate his moon and he activates my juno. this is possibly why i have felt interested in the topic of marriage where he's concerned (a bit, anyway), and let me say, i am not one who is really interested in marriage, generally speaking (i love my freedom - moon in sag; venus in aqua). i think im gradually getting the hang of intuitively understanding some of the aspects. that his moon in this equation is placed in the 7th house probably also factors into this somehow (since i activate his moon on some level). not sure how exactly, but ill bet it does!

since reading that natal juno-ascendant contacts can give a youthful and innocent appearance, ive been interested in juno. my juno trines my ascendant by less than a degree. i agree with this observation; i think others would, too (im often told i look 'innocent').

and thanks for the book recommendation, guys! i love to read, and recently ive become addicted to combing the internet and local bookstores for good advanced books on astrology. i discovered one i want to rave about - its called planets in aspect by sue tompkins, i think. when i read the descriptions for sun-pluto and moon-pluto aspects i was floored. i didnt know how to articulate the things it described, but there they were, all displayed in print right before my very eyes. if you have aspects you want to learn about, i highly recommend this book. each planetary aspect combination is discussed in detail.



sincerely,
chrissy
