Read this partial description I found online and tell me what you do/don't agree with and I'll do the same:

-----
"These people hunger for emotional inspiration and nourishment, but they can be like a bottomless pit in this regard. Or, their hopes can be too lofty and unrealistic, so the undefined prize they are searching for is forever elusive. At times, they feel very much at mercy of their emotions, yet they have a hard time truly understanding or defining their emotional worlds.

In all likelihood, they are searching for unconditional love--both to give it and to receive it. Yet, their own faith and trust in others is subject to huge swings. They want more than anything to trust their loved ones, yet when they do, part of them is suspicious of their own trusting hearts, and they worry that they trust too much. Often, these issues stem from a childhood in which the nurturing was inconsistent.

In relationships, quite ironically, these emotional souls can be hard to reach. They have a hard time committing to any one path, and they can very easily sidestep difficult issues.

They are psychic sponges who absorb the emotions of others. They are extremely sensitive to the emotional "climate" of any given place, setting, or situation. In some cases, people with this aspect in their natal charts project Neptune onto their environment, and thus attract Neptunian people and circumstances into their lives. Some, for example, attract partners who are elusive, addicted, irresponsible, or unwilling to commit."

Unconditional love is nice, yes. I welcome it, yes. I do sometimes struggle with trust though only because most people are full of sh*t after awhile. They have great intentions but not enough follow-through! That's all. Lol.

I have no problem committing to something/someone. I'm Cap Mars and my Neptune is actually in Cap. I am just choosy about my commitments! I'll be with you through thick & thin as long as you aren't treating me badly or taking me for granted. I'm not a fan of wasting my time OR yours, not at all.

I agree with the description. Pretty much with everything it says...

Also, another manifestation of this aspect which rings so true for me;

Neptune encourages the person to chase the rainbows, but whenever he/she starts chasing her/his dreams he/ she feels insecure. Afterall moon needs security, to have roots. Wishing on a star does not bound well with this need. But whenever he/she chooses security over her/his dreams, she feels emotional discontentment and a deep longing to make his/her dreams come true...

Plus, all the people I know who have moon/neptune - hard aspect are drug users. Mostly weed though.

Weed is alright from time to time. Not really my thing.

Now a tasty glass of wine? That is MY thing.

I think my square is stabilized by being in a t-square. My Pisces moon is at the apex and its tightest aspect is to my Cap sun. So voila! An anchor.

Hey Faith! Happy Friday.

I actually don't know anything about t-squares, grand crosses. Etc. Care to inform me?

A t-square is when three planets form a triangle, where two planets oppose each other, and both of them are square a third planet, the apex. All three planets will be in the same modality usually (cardinal, fixed, or mutable), unless there is an out-of-sign aspect (for instance, if two planets are at 29 degrees of a mutable sign, and a third planet is at 1 degree of a cardinal sign.)

So in my case, I have a mutable t-square:

12 Sag Neptune opposes 16 Gemini Mars. Both square the apex, my 18 Pisces moon.

A grand cross looks like a box, where there is a planet in each sign of the modality, all aspecting each other within 6 degrees (or whatever orb you use.) So if I had a planet between 12-18 Virgo, then I would have a grand cross.

When someone else has a planet between 12-18 Virgo, we'd say it forms a grand cross with my t-square.

Makes sense?

Sort of! Lol.

I'll get it figured out after a few reads. As far as I know, I don't have those. But I do have a Grand Trine in Water (Kero was the first to point that out to me).

The ones I know with neptune heavy are fbrn more insecure than the Cancer moons typically are. I think home life being foggy is a big deal toi. Like there's a lot of passive aggressive energy at home and there's a lot of illusion to aspire to.

I've got the trine, so I know that's less difficult. I will say that setting emotional boundaries has been tough for me, in the past. But, I'm glad I'm learning how to do that. Realizing that I don't have to just give, give, give to people emotionally all the time and that I can conserve a lot of that energy for myself (without being "selfish") has been great for me.

My pessimism is almost always working at full force too.

I'm mostly optimistic. Definitely not a pessimist.

I'll definitely take a look at your article. Thanks for sharing!

And I do understand what you mean about giving and giving emotionally. Boundaries must be established to prevent draining.

I did read over your article! This part in particular stood out to me:

"So, as a Moon-Neptune child, you were a kid who really lived on a different wavelength. You found it easy to get completely lost within your imagination, to the degree that your parents regularly had to pull you out of it, from time to time. You developed a strong need for these games of make believe, as they allowed you to enter some magical world that you otherwise couldn’t. The average Moon-Neptune child is also very empathic, from an early age, easily able to pick up on people’s feelings. Both the Moon and Neptune are very caring energies and the combination of these two planets often symbolizes a bleeding heart, which you probably were from the start.

Our Moon also represents our relationship with our primary nurturing figure, whether it was a mother or a father. For a person with Moon in aspect to Neptune, there’s usually a profound sense of merging within this relationship, for better or for worse. Many Moon-Neptune people have a nurturing figure who subtly demands for the child to take care of them. This parent is emotionally stunted and dysfunctional, possibly even mentally ill, with some sort of personality or mood disorder. They may also have an addictive personality, as Neptune represents addictions of all sorts. The parent could’ve struggled with drugs or alcohol or maybe just with finding some way to evade their responsibilities and realities. As a result, they looked to their child, who was often quickly responsive to them, for comfort and support. This sets up a pattern for you, Moon-Neptune, of being the one to compulsively take care of others."
