Moon in Cancer

Moon represents your emotions, your instincts and what makes you feel safe. In Cancer, it expresses itself with sensitivity and a wish to look after your own.

The Moon rules Cancer — a cardinal water sign — and is here in its domicile, in its own kingdom, free to feel in full: it is its home, and nowhere is it so at ease. It moves by emotional needs and usually knows how to meet them, building secure foundations and caring for those in need, like a good Samaritan. In full accord with the sign, the instinct is unerring and the memory long. But it is a cup that overflows with emotions, and at times it wonders whether it cares out of love for the other or out of a want of self-love. Its strength is the tenderness that shelters: a Moon that nourishes, protects, and makes a home wherever it is — and that learns, with time, to care also for itself.
