Moon in Cancer
Moon in Cancer is such a wonderful placement. Those who have it can create emotional attachments and bond with others with ease. They can be great parents and emotional and loyal lovers/partners. Here you can read more about the Cancer Zodiac Sign.
If you only know your Moon sign and its fundamental qualities, strengths, and weaknesses, you already know enough to feel in your element. To feel good about yourself, and to adapt to life no matter what. However, no planet, celestial bodies, or the four angels are more important than the others. All of the planets have their own unique domains. While the four angles (Ascendant, Descendant, IC, and MC) are the skeleton- the most sensitive points- in the chart.
Here you can read more about the Moon and here is a Moon guide for daily use.
The inner dialogue of the Moon in Cancer
How does the Moon manifest in its own sign? It can be a wonderful placement.
Those who have it in their natal are very sensitive people, easily hurt if the Moon is not afflicted in the natal chart. However, if the Moon is afflicted or the native has a quiet “difficult” personality the Cancer Moon native can numb and suppress their emotions to protect themselves and don’t show them to anyone.
Cancer Moon people are easily hurt because they are so sensitive. Their family is their safe haven. However, they should make sure it is not toxic, and to make sure it is not a hostile environment. Otherwise might feel that the whole is world a hostile environment.
These individuals always want to feel needed. And by being needed they have that sense of security that they are longing for. That is the reason Moon is exalted in Taurus because that Zodiac Sign is all about stability, security, financial security, and predictability.
Moon in Cancer people might be labeled “needy” partners. The truth is they can get emotionally attached to other people, and they can create emotional bonds. And that is the most positive manifestation of these planetary placements. Btw aren’t emotional bonds and attachments the greatest bonds that everyone is longing for?!
However, Cancer Moon can make the native feel needy, clingy, and yearning for feeling important and needed. And due to that, they might stay a very long time in a toxic environment, especially a family environment. For them, the unknown and unfamiliar always look scary while the known and familiar give them -sometimes fake- security and stability.
Are they as compassionate as Pisces Moon- the other water sign Moon? They can be, but sometimes they are self-absorbed and busy with their own emotions.
Mood swings and being nostalgic
Cancer rules ebb and flows, the tides, and cycles and Moon rules our emotions and moods these individuals are prone to have changeable moods, or mood swings if you will. At one moment they feel under the weather or even depressed while an hour later they are joyful and feel much lighter.
Those mood swings are the most natural for them, they should not punish themselves for that. Just remember when after a dark moment a better one is coming. Their whole life is in cycles.
The reason these individuals are the most nostalgic ones is that the past doesn’t change, and again that gives them emotional security. But where is the past? It exists only in the native’s head. The past is over. It is really beneficial for them if they learn that creating new memories and striving for moving forward in life is better for them.
The emotional need to feel good
The most ideal state of being for a Cancer Moon is a happy, emotionally fulfilling, stable family life. That life gives them the emotional security and stability they desire. And also, a workplace that feels like home or feels like a second home.
If these are not given or don’t have a nurturing, loving family environment having their own home that feels like a safe haven they can return to any time gives them emotional security.
Journaling their emotions, and also realizing those are in cycles, bad days, and depressed days are followed by better ones is also beneficial. Feeling under the weather is not the end of the world. It is only a bad day, not a bad life.
Also, letting themselves feel whatever. Don’t numb their emotions, that is such a blessing.
In a similar vein, the harsh truth is that not everyone has Cancer Moon, or moon in water signs to make them as sensitive. Once they accept that some people navigate through life without being in touch with their emotions, or not feeling anything deeply they can form healthy relationships and attachments with other people. And learning not taking everything personally adds to their well-being too.
Strengths and protection
One of their strengths is their intuition, they can have accurate intuition. Even if something is unsaid, or invisible they might “feel it in their stomach”. They’d better listen to those gut feelings.
And their strengths are their vulnerability, and being in touch with their emotions. The brain can be brainwashed, and the mind can be manipulated but emotions can’t. Emotions always tell the truth. The native should learn to listen and trust their emotions.
Ideal home environment and relationship with the mother
The ideal home environment for Cancer Moon people is close to their family and relatives or close to water, lake, sea, or ocean.
They feel at home in the place where they grew up, or where they have memories with their family and loved ones.
Moon in Cancer natives have such a mumsy mom who is deeply invested in bringing up children, creating a safe place for them to grow up, nurturing them, feeding them, take good care of them. They have an emotional bond, emotional attachment to their mothers. Their mother most of the time, if Moon is not afflicted very loving, and caring, a mother who intuitively knows the needs of their child/children.
Sensitive body parts and organs
The breasts and the stomach are their weaker body part and organ. They benefit a lot from eating light food, better to eat vegetables, and fruits that don’t make their stomach heavy. So that they feel lighter.
Femininity
Venus and Moon are in charge of the feminine energy for women. The more you make your Moon -and Venus, too- fulfilled, the happier you feel as a woman and the more you can get in touch with your femininity.
How can a Cancer Moon woman tap into her femininity in the most practical way?
By nurturing, feeding, taking care of someone, sheltering, or helping a weaker or sick person, and also having their family around.
Cancer Moon women can be career driven and might have tremendous worldly and material achievements, however taking care of others or being a mother make them emotionally fulfilled.
In a similar vein, having their own homes, and properties, and beautifying it also increases their feminine energy. Or having a loving and fulfilling relationship with their mother.
These women can be great mothers. And they carry more of those fundamental Cancerian qualities than Cancer Sun women.
Also, it is a very fertile planetary placement. Fertility can mean that the native is fertile- abundant- in all sorts of creative endeavors.
The other practical ways to increase their feminine energy is by being close to the water and in nature– center and ground them. And all kinds of water therapy, such as drinking lots of water, swimming, and walking on the shores.
As they are sensitive individuals it is better for them to avoid staying in emotionally not fulfilling relationships or friendships or jumping from one relationship to the other without having an emotional bond. These can drain their feminine energy.
