Mommie Dearest: Moon, Mother and Child is Martin Sebastian Moritz’s second book, after Pandora’s Box – The Mysterious 8th House. He digs deep into the complex relationship patterns between mother and child, as symbolised by the Moon in the chart. By giving biographical case studies using synastry, and going through every lunar placement (sign, house, aspect), it offers a fresh and intriguing insight for beginners as well as advanced and professional astrologers.  

Mommie Dearest is a really thoughtful, deeply human exploration of the Moon. Martin blends personal story, therapeutic insight, and clear archetypal language. The writing is warm, compassionate, and easy to read, with touches of quiet humor that make even tender material feel relatable.
