Moon in Cancer

With the Moon in Cancer, the Moon is in its own sign: your feelings are rich, protective and closely tied to family and home. You need a safe nest, and you know how to offer one to others.

You keep the letters, the photos, the ticket from your first concert, and the smell of a kitchen can take you back thirty years in a second. The Moon in Cancer is at home: your feelings are full, nuanced and wired into memory. You pick up the mood of a house as you walk through the door. You have a gift for feeding people, literally and otherwise, and those close to you know there will always be an extra plate at your table. Your security depends heavily on your bonds: when the family is fine, you are fine. The price of that sensitivity is the tides. Your mood rises and falls, sometimes for no clear reason, and a harmless remark can hurt for days. You may retreat into your shell instead of explaining what touched you, or over-mother people who would rather grow up on their own. The past can also take up too much room. Perhaps the work of a lifetime: giving yourself the tenderness you hand out so easily.
