The Moon applies a conjunction to Saturn for the rest of the afternoon suggesting a period of time, this afternoon, to get down to some nitty gritty business; this includes any issues related to career, vocation, family, emotions, parenthood, or administration of resources. The Moon is the emotional eye through which each individual understands daily life and Saturn has a restrictive, crystallizing nature.

Focus, balance, and keep a keen eye on the target and today can be a day of great accomplishments!

As the Moon and Saturn draw closer with the passing day, it is perhaps worth considering the MotherFather archetypes. This happens every 28 days or so, when the Moon approaches, meets, and moves on once again from Saturn, and the question that may be asked is: How am I taking responsibility for my emotional state? How am I taking care of my own nurturing? What kind of parent am I? 

There are long standing correlations with these stellar bodies and the roles of Mother and Father. Some astrologers associate Saturn with the father and Moon with Mother; others switch them around. Which one is right? I hate choosing and absolutes so I leave ti flexible and "feel" out the situation. In my own life, Saturn has a strong correlation to my mother, however, it also depends on how and what we are talking about. Best to remain open.

The Houses they are associated with, the 4th and 10th, also correlate in a nativity (the astrology chart for when someone is born) to the parents, as well as the planets associated with the signs on those house cusps. Look at your chart's 4th and 10th house's and then find the planets that rule those signs and there's a good chance of seeing your parents influence.
