The following is shared from cafeastrology.com
Saturday, JUNE 4
Saturn stations and turns retrograde today, and it will remain retrograde until October 23rd. This station can temporarily magnify all things “Saturn,” bringing somewhat heavy energy to the day (and to this surrounding week). We’re more likely to make errors until we adjust to the shift. While Saturn is retrograde, we tend to review and question our responsibilities and commitments instead of dealing with them in the moment or proactively. There can be more than usual experiences of guilt and self-doubt as we internalize fears but also an excellent chance to reassess our commitments.
The Moon spends the day in outgoing, competitive, and loving Leo. This Moon wants us to move out of our comfort zones to share ourselves and our creations with others.
DETAILS
Saturn now turns retrograde at 25° Aquarius 55′. This retrograde cycle lasts approximately 4.5 months.

I’m planning on examining the aspect in Koand’s chart above: Jupiter Moon Uranus in Cancer square Venus Neptune in Libra. Let’s break this down:
What is Jupiter conjunct Moon? How does that come across?
Moon conjunct Jupiter natal makes you happy, popular and generous. You are the type of person who never has a bad word to say about anyone else and always looks on the bright side of life.
Your good nature, charm, charisma, and countless other good qualities bring social success and public popularity. You should at least have a larger than average number of friends and admirers and may become well-known or famous.
Your optimism about the future and life, in general, is a natural trait that is reinforced by positive life experiences. You subconsciously attract good things, whether they be people, material goods, or a particular type of situation.
This attractive inner quality has a nurturing, maternal feel to it which makes those around you feel supported and nourished. You love socializing and will find great enjoyment and satisfaction in making close emotional attachments.
Making friends comes easy and you should have a broad choice of people to choose from to be your partner. You are so open with your emotions and nonjudgmental that you will attract all kinds of friends. Your friends, partner, and even your family may come from a range of different countries, religions, cultures, and beliefs. You want and need to have as many different experiences as possible.
At any one time in your life, a particular woman will have a big influence on your emotional well-being and psychological growth. This is most commonly your mother while growing up. However, at various stages in life, this enriching feminine influence may come from a best friend, partner or teacher.
Depending on other aspects and fixed star conjunctions, you may be too generous and accepting of others for your own good. Not everyone is as genuine and honest as you. Such sneaky people may view your generosity as a weakness. You may also have a tendency to party too hard and work too little.
Another potential downside to this very lucky aspect is spreading yourself too thin and skimming over subjects. You may sometimes lack the depth of understanding by taking such a broad view.
. . .
What is Jupiter Conjunct Uranus?
Jupiter conjunct Uranus natal gives a great need to be free, and you hate to be restricted in any way. It makes you a quick and eager learner and makes you so enthusiastic about trying as many new experiences as you can, to the fullest.
Your strong need for new and original things to do can make it hard for you to stick to routines and structured programs. You may have strong anti-establishment beliefs and be interested in social reform or politics.
You are also open-minded and are happy to let others do what they want, so long as they do not try to control you. This aspect is associated with a liberal outlook and you should also be tolerant of other belief systems and points of view. Sudden and unexpected fame and fortune are possible.
. . .
How does Moon Conjunct Uranus come across?
Moon conjunct Uranus natal stimulates (Uranus) your hypothalamus (Moon). The hypothalamus is a gland in the brain which regulates parenting and attachment behaviours, as well as hunger, thirst, fatigue, sleep, and circadian rhythms. It is directly linked to, and equally important as the pituitary gland (Sun).
The stimulation of primal instincts has a tremendous impact on your life. With parenting and attachment behaviors, one of your parents may be odd, absent, or emotionally detached. There may be a family history of sudden events, accidents, or psychic phenomena. Your ancestry may be peculiar or noteworthy in some way.
Sudden onset of emotional volatility can be expected, verging on hysteria. However, these episodes usually pass as quickly as they started. Your relationships can be affected with an initial intensity or fascination, however, maintaining this interest over the long term often proves difficult.
Moon conjunct Uranus strongly correlates to 7-year cycles. 7 x 12 = 84 = orbital period of Uranus. The seven-year itch is also a psychological term. Family and emotional attachments are ruled by the Moon, while detachment is ruled by Uranus.
Satisfying your strong need for stimulation is vital in dealing with the impulsive nature of this aspect. The Internet is an ideal source of this stimulation as the Internet and computers are ruled by Uranus. Acceptance of and family support of any psychic abilities were essential when you were growing up. It is important for you not to feel like an outcast. Many of your special abilities or talents have been demonized by the major religions over the last 2000 years.
What you want most of all is to feel like an integral and valued part of your family, social circle, and community. This is also the area that requires the most effort to achieve.
. . .
How does Neptune Conjunct Venus come across?
Venus conjunct Neptune natal makes you a romantic, an idealist and a dreamer. It is very easy for you to fall head over heels for someone, and your empathy and compassion are to be admired.
However, this tendency towards idealistic love does have the potential to make you vulnerable to a broken heart and disappointment. Other people who are not as caring as yourself, may see your kindness as a weakness and take advantage of you.
It will be important for you to expect others to return your love and loyalty, to keep up an equal footing in love relationships. Once you tackle the tendency to over-idealize, or subconsciously ignore the negative traits in another, then you will lessen the risk of dissolution or grief.
Venus conjunct Neptune also suggests that you should have musical, artistic, or other creative talents. You have the ability to appreciate the surreal, and bringing form to the more intangible impressions you receive would be therapeutic.
. . .
Let’s look at Jupiter Square Venus:
Venus square Jupiter natal makes you a fortunate, creative and fun-loving person. Of all the challenging square aspects in astrology, this has to be the best one. There are a number of associated difficulties but they are generally quite easy to overcome.
Your optimistic outlook, generosity, and all-around charming good nature make you pleasant to be around and you should be popular, having little or no difficulty making friends. The tension that does exist inside you is actually a good motivator for creativity. This aspect favors any of the arts including drama, comedy, music, creative writing, painting, and sculpture. Your sense of humor would verge on the cheeky side.
Motivation may be a problem for you when it comes to daily chores and monotonous hard work to earn an income. A lack of self-discipline can cause difficulties at work and in fulfilling other serious duties and responsibilities in life. This would be especially so when you have a family. Your charisma will only get you so far in avoiding the heavy responsibilities involved in raising children.
Other people may find you to have questionable, or ‘loose’ morals. This would most likely cause problems in your love life, where lowering your standards would cause complications or embarrassment. Or it could be that making commitments in relationships like marriage causes you concern. Sometimes a lax attitude may irritate your partner, or you may give the impression that you don’t care, or couldn’t be bothered.
However, as mentioned earlier, it would not take too much effort to address any weaknesses that add friction to your relationships. The same applies to your finances. You may have difficulty finding enough money to support the lifestyle you desire. Such luxuries as entertainment, amusements, and holidays may require you to take on a more responsible position in your career.
There is a tendency with this aspect to overestimate your resources and to be rather extravagant. The worst-case scenarios would involve greed and addiction. Your generosity to yourself and others may need to be reigned in. Generally, however, you should enjoy enough lucky breaks in life to avoid many of the hardships which restrict other people’s ability to enjoy life to the fullest.
. . .
What about Jupiter Square Neptune?
Jupiter square Neptune natal brings some magically creative gifts that do, however, need some application and a certain amount of discipline to be fully realized. Developing your gifts to their full potential requires hard work.
Over-optimism, fantasies, and escapism through drugs will only lead to embarrassment, loss, and disappointment. However, these early experiences give you a very positive push, encouraging you to make a big impression in your chosen field. The realization that there are no shortcuts to success gives you a very strong faith.
You exude an inspirational enthusiasm that seems infectious. This uplifting effect on others may stem from some rather tense inner energy as if you work through self-questioning by sharing your discoveries or creations along the way. Your work is a manifestation of your hopes and dreams.
. . .
Let’s look at Moon Square Venus:
Moon square Venus natal makes it a struggle for you to satisfy your need for love and affection. Above all, this is what you want most in life, a loving, harmonious, and drama-free relationship. Your emotional well-being depends on the loyal and regular emotional nourishment and support of loved ones.
You may even measure your own success in life by your intimate relationships and the amount of loyalty and devotion you receive. You can go to great lengths to find romance if you are single or your marriage is unsatisfying. You may try to fill the gap with one-night stands and affairs but eventually, this fails to satisfy your ceaseless need for love and affection.
You are socially popular, charming, and very attractive. You are a beautiful person and love being surrounded by fine things. You aspire to be well off and to live a simple life of comfort and ease. You should enjoy the company of a wide circle of friends and have plenty of admirers.
However, In your quest for pleasure, you have a tendency to be ignorant of the needs of other people. You need that euphoric feeling that comes from the release of pleasure chemicals in your brain. Sometimes nothing else matters and you may appear greedy and wasteful.
Greta Garbo [see chart] has the strongest Moon square Venus aspect of any celebrity I found (0°02′). Although she is remembered for her luminous and unforgettable screen performances she shunned publicity and lived a very private life without marrying or having children.
Greta still led a peaceful life of leisure with loving friends and enjoyed a busy social life. However, the lack of intimacy and romance in her life led to depression and moodiness.
as early as I can remember, I have wanted to be alone. I detest crowds, don’t like many people. (real life)
I never said, ‘I want to be alone.’ I only said, ‘I want to be left alone.’ There is all the difference. (acting role) [1]
Let’s look at Moon Square Neptune:
Moon square Neptune natal makes you extremely sensitive, deeply sympathetic, and acutely perceptive. Relationships with women and the public will have a major influence on your emotional well-being and how sociable you are.
How your mother nurtured you is more important than with most other people. This is because you are so sensitive to subtle energies, non-verbal cues, and even other people’s thoughts via telepathy or psychic abilities. If your mother instilled any negativity it will have greatly shaped your life.
Such negative impressions may have involved her acting like a victim or actually being abused by your father, and escapism in general through drugs, alcohol or gambling. As an adult, as when you were young, your reaction to any unpleasantness or over-stimulation would be to withdraw into your own imaginary world that is safe and emotionally stable.
Healthier mother-child relationships would of course lead to a healthier emotional life. However, you should expect to meet many challenging experiences and relationships with women that test your emotional fortitude.
Expressing your emotions is key to dealing with this aspect. You must be able to show your sensitive emotions in relationships and in groups so they do not manifest as delusion, false realities, suspicions, paranoia, depression, addiction or illness.
Sharing your emotions and talking about your perceptions or visions or dreams will give you vital feedback and help put everything into perspective. Show your sympathies to others and you will be appreciated. This is a strong point because you understand suffering and can ease it in others.
Share also your sufferings and people will listen. Such openness will avoid any need to be the victim or the savior. You’re a dreamer and a storyteller who can shapeshift into any form. These are talents that can be used in poetry, acting, writing and singing and the list goes on.
Any shyness can be overcome by getting familiar with your image. Neptune rules mirrors, screens, cameras and the stage. Practice showing off in front of the mirror or webcam. Of course, privacy is important but do not keep your talents secret forever.
. . .
Let’s look at Uranus Square Venus:
Venus square Uranus natal gives an interesting love life. Issues involving commitment in close relationships can stem from a strong need for personal independence. You are not bound by the traditional societal or moral standards which apply to marriage and intimate relationships in general.
It is not only this need for freedom but also a need for simulation and excitement that can cause instability in your relationships. Stimulation and excitement go hand in hand with change, the prime keyword of Uranus. In the words of the American novelist Toni Morrison:
In order to be as free as I possibly can, in my own imagination, I can’t take positions that are closed. [wiki]
Although talking about her attitude toward feminism, this need for freedom mainly affects love relationships but also applies to your values and beliefs. Venus rules love, money, and how you rate or value yourself. To maintain a healthy self-image, or to truly love yourself, you must express the spontaneous, electric nature of Uranus.
Initially, you may have a tendency to try to fit in or live up to the expectation of family and friends. However, dull friends or a boring lover would cramp your style. You don’t like being tied down or being smothered by love. Enduring such a relationship would result from, or cause, a poor self-image. You would react to this by lashing out or doing something unexpected, like packing up your gear and walking out the door.
There is, however, a compromise available between living alone and being in an unhappy relationship. Although you don’t want to attract disloyal or overly eccentric partners, you can find someone who is open-minded, unorthodox, or exciting like yourself.
The ideal relationship is one in which both partners are able to express their uniqueness and enjoy freedom. Experimentation in the bedroom would provide the extra stimulation needed to remain satisfied and content over the longer term. Testing and challenging the rules of sexuality and relationship dynamics would also provide the thrills and excitement you desire.
This aspect can signify popularity, unique or stunning beauty, and personal charm, plus great imagination and creativity. Just as relationships can start and end in a flash, you may experience some dramatic ups and down with your finances. Impulsiveness makes you fun to be around but can play havoc with your love life and savings.
. . .
Let’s look at Uranus Square Neptune:
Uranus square Neptune is a major planetary aspect shared by the generation born from 1952 to 1957. Uranus square Neptune next occurs from 2037 to 2043.
Natal Uranus Square Neptune
Uranus square Neptune natal makes you precocious, charismatic, and romantic but also over-sensitive, reactive, and attention-seeking. Sometimes your perception of yourself and the world becomes distorted. This can lead to strange ideas, sudden disappointments, or embarrassing controversies.
You may become suspicious or paranoid about certain things that others find acceptable or normal. Keeping secrets may prove difficult at times. A particular religious or spiritual upbringing may strongly influence your beliefs throughout life. But it is just as likely that you reject traditional systems and seek alternative or unusual ideologies.
Whatever the case, some system of morals or values is important to give you a sense of structure, reliability and continuity. And even if you hold conservative values you will probably have an interest in progressive ideas like anti-discrimination and humanitarian or environmental causes.
