Moon-Uranus: The Distant Lover

Moon in harsh aspects to Uranus in a natal chart gives you a distant lover. He or she is the unavailable lover - often being away or physically absent. The tendency is to have a long-distance relationship where they do not see you often. They want their own "space" and needs lots of freedom to move around and do their own thing. It is said that most pilots and corporate businessmen  have this aspect in their charts, since they are usually away from home for extended periods. Instead of breaking up the relationship, distance actually strengthens the couple since the Moon-Uranus person will be glad to have their own space yet satisfied with the occasional intimate moments with his wife. 

Sometimes accused of being selfish, the Moon-Uranus person is fiercely independent. He is actually afraid of commitments, so avoid being "attached" because it is viewed as neediness. He views neediness as being weak. While he or she pretends not to give a damn, deep down inside, this person is scared of being alone. To prevent loneliness, he or she may sleep around or turn promiscuous. They pretend to be cold and objective about relationships ("I don't need him"), but there is a deep inner fear and insecurity about not having anybody to love.

He is forced to be independent since childhood, needing no mother to survive. Mother was always absent, and unavailable to reassure the child in times of needs. Thus the child grows up not needing a mother. Very self-reliant and proud of that. So falling in love may be threatening.

Astrologer Bob Marks remarked that the Moon-Uranus person will run away from commitments. Once he or she realizes that they need their partners to survive, this individual will escape. In a man, he will be attracted to unavailable women - a woman who is out of town, another man's girlfriend, an Internet buddy or long-distance crush. The Moon-Uranus woman is much more needy. She hides her insecurity by sleeping around (to show she does not need a bf) or creating issues to break up once she goes steady with a guy. Generally, Moon-Uranus folks have unstable but exciting relationships that do not last long.
