AM I A BAD MOTHER? My baby has an 8th house Aquarius moon and I'm freaking out
I have attached their birth chart, and our synastry (I am the blue Aquarius Sun). For context I love astrology, and have used it to do a lot of inner work/shadow work for myself. I work in mental health and due to this I find it really important to discuss taboo/dark and heavy subjects (or things commonly stigmatised) out in the open and without judgement. I am a 12th house Aquarius sun and a 4th house Gemini moon which I understand to be very karmic placements. I also have an 8th house Chiron in Scorpio, so needless to say there are lot of familial traumas I have been working on transmuting through art, writing and radical acceptance + honesty. I have dealt with chronic health issues and I am aware that I can fall into fantasising but have actively started to constructively redirect myself to the present reality. I guess what I am trying to convey is that I understand my shortcomings and am working and growing into a healthy and happy version of myself—so im terrified about the fact that my baby has an 8th house Aquarius moon, especially because of my stellium in Aquarius. SO MANY OF MY PLANETS FALL INTO THEIR 8TH HOUSE. Im now spiralling worrying that I'll become some sort of abusive parent, or drug addicted or dead or parentifying them or something. I keep telling myself that perhaps they would just have the higher expression of an 8th house moon, considering I am so open and interested in psychology and transformation (i think thats bc of my chiron 8th house scorpio and 9th house Pluto), but I dont know if im just deluding myself. They are such a happy baby and so loved and cherished and have such a close bond to me (I know I will have to allow and cultivate their independence from me, especially with our synastry) that having an 8th house moon in Aquarius just seems so incongruent with reality. They have lovely 4th house venus aspects that give me hope but I just don't know.
Someone pls help me im going mental, my gemini moon is not having a good time lol
