You know how the Moon (and Venus somewhat) describe the Mother?
I thought it would be interesting to compare notes with those of you who have the conjunction.

Unfortunately I do not have an aspect between my Moon and Pluto but I do have a child with this aspect.

He would probably describe me as mean j/k
more like driven (as it pertains to his immediate goals). Persistent.

I have Pluto conjunct Moon 0º in Libra in the 2nd house.

Since I don't yet know what the 2nd house is about yet (i've been looking up houses for the last 2 hours lol), i'll go ahead and answer your request the best way I could.

My mom. Hmm. My Leo mom. I LOVE HER! She is a great person despite the negative trials and tribulations she has endured through her life (In case anyone wants to see her chart, Aug 4, 1954 in Atlantic City, NJ unknown time).

I dunno. Me and my mom have this sort of unspoken connection (maybe that is why I have gotten along with every Leo female I have ever met). Growing up, she just "understood" me. She let me be me. She trusted me not to travel down the wrong path and succumb to peer pressure and I didn't.

We used to have looong talks about whatever (my mother believes in past lives and believes she was Cleopatra in a past life). Of course we had our clashes but they were few and far in between and usually very minor. But like I said, I have to put emphasis on saying our connection was sort of unspoken. I felt like she knew what I was thinking and vice versa.

She is a very good friend to me. When she sees me, she immediately can tell if everything is well or bad in my life. Thats why i'm a little careful about seeing her when all isn't well with certain things in my life. I know she is going to tell me the flat out truth which I may appreciate, but at that time, I may not want to hear lol.

my mom is a scorpio [sun, venus, neptune]. she's ... well we have had our disagreements. but she's supportive, truthful [never kept secrets], dangerous [makes me measure words when i confront her, she's more then capable to strike back [ in a verbal sense] ... she trusted me. thought me basics of astrology. she holds weight to my opinion. respects my privacy. she can be slightly over possessive but she keeps it in control. transformationally speaking she's constantly changing her appearance and building up her personality.

But that could be a 4th house saturn issue and the fact that she is a sco-leo moon and I'm aqu.

If that's your experience, 23, maybe I shouldn't reproduce. I fear for my poor children-to-be. Haha

Actually my aunt is a Scorpio moon in Leo and she is one of the coolest people I know with a wonderful relationship with her Gemini daughter...My mom is a Leo Scorpio Scorpio...love her to death but she could be intensely dramatic

I must say that I gave my mum hell too, so part of the blame probably falls on me as well. If you saw the synastry and the transits we went through, you'd be amazed that we still love each other and are still talking to each other, but that's really the power of love, so in that way we, are a success story.

23,

That's funny because I've always wanted an Aqua child. I mean I'd love the little thing no matter what sign it fell under, but Aqua is a huge preference :-). I'm very Aquarian myself so I know it's probably out of selfish preference,

I've got the Moon(8th) SQUARE Pluto (11th), so I know the energy is used differently but no problems with my Capricorn Mom. Power struggles, yea but what child doesn't have them? She's also very suspicious, doesn't trust ANYONE, (which makes my life a tad difficult with all the friends I track through the house..blame that on a super strong 11th house) a bit extreme, and quite passionate. My father fears her, as she is t-o-u-g-h. But I'm a Scorpio with an 8th house Moon, so it doesn't bother me as much..maybe because I'm used to how it works. But man, I've spent most of my time growing up (and now!) convincing her that not everyone is out to harm me.

What's interesting is that almost everyone in my family has the Moon in aspect to Pluto- hard aspect. No soft aspects here- and the women/mothers in our family are held in the highest regard, almost as if they were queens or the ultimate power. Very, very strong women, who will do anything to survive and protect her loved ones. Kind of like the Mars concept, taken to the extreme.

Dad- Moon conjunct Pluto: spoiled his mother, she was the most important thing in his life, treated her like a queen or a goddess, but she was a very strict woman, often feared, fearless, another t-o-u-g-h, takes no bullcrap woman. It's prob why he fell for my mom, don't they say Men go after women who remind them of their mothers? She died when he turned 18.

Mom- Moon square Pluto: helped her mom in every way ever since she was little, dedicated and sacrificed a great deal of her life (giving up a full scholarship to an Ivy league school to help her mother raise her two younger brothers), the only child out of 7 who cares for her

My sister "lucked out" with the Moon semisextile to Pluto, she's the only one who lacks any passion and that drive to "do whatever it takes to survive, no matter what". She's also very airy so that adds to it (AC, Sun in Gemini, Moon in Libra, Saturn in Aquarius)

It's fitting that my Moon is in the 5th as my mom is a Leo.

My mom is a mother of five children. The first and the last were accidental conceptions. She was a homemaker and a daycare provider while I was growing up. She often confided in me when things got tough on her emotionally. My dad ran his own business for many years, and that was stressful on my mom.

She is a creative person. She enjoys crafts and music. She sews. She bakes.

In recent years she been a youth pastor for a church. She is a good event coordinator, and I've seen her take that role many times in my life.

As for my relationship with her, I would say it's always been good. I remember having so many conversations about her regarding religion growing up. Usually those conversations were initiated by me. We were both fans of Max Lucado's early work.

My mother's moon is probably Gemini; there is a small chance that it could be Cancer, but it is a VERY small chance since the moon changed signs very, very late in the day that she was born. I don't know her exact birth time--and neither does she, and her parents are deceased so there is no one that knows her real birth time that I could ask about it and I don't know if it is recorded in city records--so I just usually count it as Gemini since it fits her personality and it's more likely.

My mom and I are pretty much emotional opposites and we don't always get along. I don't really feel like we connect emotionally to each other and we are VERY different people.

Her mom, like me, had an air sign Sun and a water sign Moon....but I wasn't close to her either because I didn't see her a lot. I was much closer to my dad's Virgo Moon (and Virgo Sun) mother.

I love my mum. But, (and there is a but!) she and I do not connect as emotionally as I would have liked.

Growing up (and there were many more problems with my father, believe me) I always felt like she couldn't be reached, and funnily enough, she has complained that I am too distant as well! Now this could also be explained by my Aquarius moon and Uranus singleton and her close Sun-Uranus conjunction. But I do feel like Pluto plays it's part here too.....

I know my mum loves me now, but it was very easy to doubt that when I was growing up. To be fair, she had her problems (my dad was an alcoholic and he was violent to me - not her or my sister - just me!!!) It was very hard and I always felt like she didn't do nearly enough to protect or comfort me. That and other incidents (which I won't bore you with) showed her up to be spineless and down right neglectful. She could also be selfish, irresponsible, snobby (Leo sun) and quite tight.

No one buries their head in the sand quite like my mum and she has such insecurity in her own originality that she comes across as weak and a copycat. If only she would realise that she's SO quirky, unique and original that she doesn't need to do that. I also felt continuously let down by her and I'm sure she felt the same about me. She was just never adequately there for me. There was a definite lack of maternal bond there, I think.

love my mom. like many people mentioned here - she's very supportive. shes extremely trusting. she puts me first a lot.
i have wonderful looooong conversations with her. she has taught me so so so much about myself and others through those conversations.

she knows how to shake me up, get me frazzled, and then put me back down in safer ground than what i began on.

she can be demanding and expect a lot from me. she doesnt let me cheat on life. she can detect my faults when i want them to slip by. over and over again, she rebuilds me in the most incredible way.
