What it is

• Carried under the bond -> When the moon approaches 15 degree conjunction/opposition with the Sun
• Escaping of loosing-the-bond -> Separating conjunction/opposition of the Sun by 15 degrees
• Paulus reduces orb by 5 degrees on each side

Interpretation

Kinda like when a planet is [[ under-the-beams ]]. However the 1 degree “in the heart” may not apply to the moon.

The moon is held captive and constrained. It is a debilitating condition.

“Maternus indicates dangers and illness”. [^carole]

Secrets and hidden things.

When opposite the sun, contrariety. The placement of the Moon’s domicile lord may give information about what is being concealed.

Loosening of the bond means to exit from captivity. In a weakened state. The next planet it encounters is important. Malefic or benefic does matter. Mars is especially bad to encounter after conjunction with the Sun (even more heat). Saturn is bad to encounter after opposition to the Sun (intense cold).

What planet does the Moon make an aspect with right after release from bonds?
