A combust Moon forgets how to feel for others

A combust Moon lives in tension. It’s the Moon too close to the Sun, overwhelmed and dimmed. The Moon, usually gentle and nurturing, feels trapped by the Sun’s intense light’. Its natural emotional flow gets blocked. Instead of openness, there is withdrawal.

The Moon guides our feelings and instincts. It seeks comfort and connection. But a combust Moon struggles to find peace. Pride and ego mix with emotions, making vulnerability seem dangerous. This leads to shutting down, not opening up. Warmth turns cold, and others feel the distance.

Those with a combust Moon often hide their true feelings. The Sun’s pressure to shine overshadows emotional needs. Emotions don’t vanish—they get tangled and confused. This creates a survival-based selfishness, not cruelty. The internal fight is about protecting the self.

Relationships can suffer from this dynamic. The combust Moon struggles to see and respond to others’ emotions fully. Loved ones may feel ignored or unheard. This causes sadness and frustration. It’s not a lack of love but difficulty balancing self and others.

The selfishness is a mask for loneliness. The Moon longs to nurture but fears losing control. It builds emotional walls to protect itself. Beneath these walls lies a deep desire for closeness, causing bittersweet isolation.

Healing a combust Moon takes time and care. It requires stepping away from ego and embracing vulnerability’. Trusting feelings again is key. With patience, the Moon softens and grows stronger in its sensitivity.

When balanced, the combust Moon offers quiet power. It blends Sun strength with emotional insight. The person learns to care for themselves and others equally. Emotional selfishness shifts to emotional sovereignty.

This Moon’s journey teaches that feelings are strength, not weakness. Even under harsh light, the heart can heal. It reminds us to keep empathy alive. To hold light and shadow together with courage.
