Moon-Uranus aspects - The Little Strangeling
Moon conjunct Uranus, Moon sextile Uranus, Moon square Uranus, Moon trine Uranus, Moon opposite Uranus
The Moon-Uranus child managed to find mischief wherever she went. But really, it was mischief that went looking for her first. She plays with a secret toy box filled with magic parts, hidden compartments, psychic potions, and backward charms that she opens up to animate reality with her own imagination. It’s here that she learns reading and spelling by reading and casting spells. She learns time by visiting other dimensions, future lives, and excursions through the astral plains. She longs to recover her knowledge of the cosmos, constellations, and astronomy, and learns best when she is on the edge of outer space and out of her own mind. It’s very possible that any interest or belief in extraterrestrials came as a result of being visited by a supernatural being in a dream or during a powerful hypnognonic state. This may be especially true in the case of childhood abandonment or neglect, the child stares longingly out at the stars waiting for her ‘real family’ to come and take her home, and it’s likely because she has been sent guardians from the stars to ensure she is never left alone.
Memories of this childhood can recollected as a fast blurred cacophony of distorted dreams, unusual images, strange voices, and unbelievable stories. These may seem elusive or far away enough to belong to another person or a previous lifetime. Sometimes early encounters with humans leave her feeling like she is the alien, misunderstood and alone at a distance. Maybe she feels like her emotions are speaking in another language, or she can’t fit into the name and identity she was born into. She may have reported true experiences that were doubted, or suffered unusual bouts of anxiety that were dismissed or ignored. This would only reinforce that longterm sense of separation.
The Moon-Uranus intellect is dialled into higher frequencies. She can ask questions that make the adults in her life question everything. If she was dissatisfied with the answer they gave her, she could simply disappear on a private search and find with the characters and caterpillars in her own mind. This child is so distractible because her distracted daydreams would unveil new realms that we could scarcely comprehend. Curiosity curates white rabbits and black cats that lead her into wild wonderlands inside. One visitor that is sure to find the Moon-Uranus child is the ‘muse’ or the divine muses who deliver ideas, inspiration, and visions to the artists and visionaries. This child has ‘a genius’, now regarded as the muse. There’s specially designed tricks in her magic toy box that nobody else would know how to find or use. It may crackle a charmed mind that spins patterns, language or arithmetic like rhythmic gymnastics. Maybe the muse moves through her like a flute and her fingers play unheard harmonies, or she has a perplexing photographic memory or ability to visually recall dreams. There’s no limit to the lifetime of possibilities that wait if these magic talent tricks are nurtured by her caregivers. The one left undisturbed to follow her joy and organic calling blooms this magic show naturally, this child thrives in the space of open-minds. Other children with this aspect who are redirected or forced into a mould express can grow into the adult who feels that she has no talent and nothing special to offer. And it’s only because she is searching for somebody else’s talent and definition, when her own is a one-of-a kind and never-seen-before performance. The spell of solitude in the Moon-Uranus child is strong for this reason. Being alone is electrifying because she becomes the authority and author of the whole scene and story. She has freedom to experiment with all of the spells and potions she has been collecting and conjuring up. While mischief was out looking for her, she was always up to something herself in the meantime. Cherry art by Nico Niemi
