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 own domicile, mistress of the house, in full power. There is no place where its nature expresses itself with such truth: moist in a moist sign, nocturnal luminary in its own dwelling. Hence a deep sensitivity, sure instinct, tenacious memory and an attachment to family, home and origin that roots everything. It inclines to a maternal soul, one that takes in, feeds and protects; feeling rises and falls like the tide this sign governs, with clear phases of flood and ebb. It gives fertile imagination, intuition of people and a love of waters and of the places of childhood. The mother appears central, present, of strong influence. As the body follows the Moon, there is sensitivity of stomach and breast, abundant fluids. Strength that comes from within and from the root; the danger is to close into the shell when wounded.
