The Mother Wound in Astrology

What Your Moon Sign Reveals About the Love You Needed

Written by Mia Astrology

“Your heart remembers the softness you wished for the warmth you hoped for and the safety you never fully received.”

 There is a tenderness inside you that you do not always talk about.
 A loneliness that has no clear source.
 A quiet ache that comes up when you least expect it.
 A heaviness in your chest when you think about needing someone and not having anyone to go  to.

 This is the mother wound.
 It is one of the deepest emotional imprints the soul carries.
 Not because the mother is always harmful but because the bond between mother and child is  the first relationship your heart ever experienced.
 It is the blueprint for every connection that came after.
 It teaches you how to love
 how to trust
 how to receive
 and how to exist in the world.

 When that bond is fractured
 inconsistent
 distant
 or emotionally unavailable
 the wound sits inside you quietly and shapes you for years.

And astrology knows this.
 It knows your longing.
 It knows what you needed.
 It knows what you learned to live without.

Your Moon sign holds the story of this wound.
 It reveals the emotional nourishment you expected
 the comfort you desired
 the softness you should have received
 and the parts of your heart you learned to hide because you did not feel safe.

This is not a story of blame.
 It is a story of what your younger self carried
 and what your adult self is finally ready to heal.
