☽ Moon sign · Cancer
Moon in Cancer
Your emotional world is deep and receptive. You need home, belonging and people to look after. Your lesson is not to absorb everything others feel. In everyday life it shows in that your home is your refuge, you absorb other people's moods and your emotional memory keeps everything. The sea, chosen family, cooking for someone and withdrawing when something hurts calm you. Coldness and feeling that you do not matter wear you down.
The Moon in the birth chart
The Moon represents emotional world and need for security: habits, refuge and the way of reacting before thinking. In Cancer it does so in a protective, intuitive and full of memory way, with the tendency to withdraw when you feel hurt.
With the Sun in Cancer
Your centre is the bond and the memory. You define yourself by caring, remembering and creating refuges for yourself and your own. Learning to set kind limits keeps care from becoming a burden. In practice you are the one who remembers birthdays, whose house is always open and who senses the mood of a room on walking in. Anything that cares and sustains suits you: family, cooking, therapy, history, home. What wears you down is coldness and feeling that nobody looks after you. Your task is to care for yourself with the same tenderness you hand out.
