Child Of The Moon With Child Of Saturn
You’re intrigued by this person’s reserve. But it’s not just the worldliness, the sophistication, or even the seriousness of purpose that draws you in. It may be a vague “lost” quality that’s hard to pinpoint. You can sense the hidden emotional depth in a Child Of Saturn that others often overlook.
Don’t expect this person to open up right away. It takes Children of Saturn a while to decide if they’re in or out. Even if you’re laughing and carousing, you’ll still sense that emotional distance. Part of this is due to their famously guarded nature, but the real reason Saturn Children take dating seriously is because they don’t want to lead you on. Your feelings are in good hands with this person. You’re better chaperoned than if your mom were sitting in the backseat.
This relationship just gets better with time. You may start off in opposite camps, you’re probably too touchyfeely while your Saturn mate is huffy and stuffy, but you will gradually absorb some of each other’s qualities. Perhaps the thing you love most is how nobody but you knows what your Saturn mate is really like.
You may have resented how your Saturn parent was always interrupting your reveries to ask if you’d finished your chores or your homework. It may have seemed like your mom or dad was just lying in wait for your next relaxed moment before springing something new to add to your to-do list. As a Moon Child, your downtime is when you do your best reflecting. Children of Saturn equate downtimes with depression or resignation. That drive to do may actually have been your Saturn parent’s way of keeping you from slipping into a funk.
Telling your Saturn Child to take it easy only makes him or her feel under more pressure to perform. Relax is a message that won’t compute. You may wonder how this kid got to be so driven, even the word okay is interpreted as a criticism. It’s just in their makeup. Saturn Children age backwards. They may start out as crotchety as a grandparent, but they become more youthful and delightful over time and at an age when you could really use a breath of fresh air.
No matter what you do, your Saturn sibling will always zero in on what’s missing. This critical intolerance may have gotten on your nerves when you were younger, and so you may have kept your thoughts and feelings under wraps. What you’ll find as you get older, however, is that your Saturn sibling is probably the only other relative who takes family concerns as seriously as you do.
You’re both moody but deal with it differently. If you feel down, you trust that in a few moments (or maybe even an hour), you’ll come bobbing back up to the surface. Saturn Children are always skating on the edge of depression, so if they go into a downward spiral, you can rest assured it will take more than a few minutes for this person to resurface. The two of you can get quite intense, but there’s no one you trust more.
Neither of you will back down. You’re both convinced that if you acquiesce, you’ll only be inviting a future attack. Talk clearly and unemotionally about what you need. Once this person realizes you’re sincere, then he or she will find a way to make that happen.
Saturn bosses don’t think twice about burning the midnight oil. Indeed a Child Of Saturn is proud of it. But don’t worry. Your boss won’t ask you to do the same.
A Saturn colleague makes a great team player, as long as he or she is in charge. Let your Saturn colleague be the uncontested authority on anything from international law to changing the fax paper and this person will be happy.
