...and how does your moon effect you?

I have mood swings and a hot temper yet I'm the "quiet type", I'm very easily hurt and I react by holding life-long grudges, I'm stalker-ish in love, I'm intuitive, empathetic and can read people's feelings before they even express them, I'm very tied to my home enviroment, I don't keep shallow friends and I require a lot of emotional investment from my real friends, I'm over-protective, I "feel" rather than think and base my choices thereafter (unfortunately!). I'm an incurable melancholic and loving it. The perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon is making love. Kindness and politness will give you an instans key to my heart. I'm always emotionally cheating in the blief that the grass is greener on the other side. That goes for everything and not just relationships.

I am very protective of my feelings, not showing too much of myself. I try to avoid confrontation if I can. I am easily hurt.



Wow, your post nailed it. Never thought of it that way but I'm very protectice of my feelings (what I call my bubble), actually many of my Cancer qualities are a result of that fact! And yeah, I avoid confrontations altough not if someone has pissed me off, then I'll just bite their heads off!

i would read a book all about cancer moons. i'm an aquarius but my cancer mood is what gets me into trouble (or saves me from my aquarian troubles?)...i solve all my problems by brooding until they don't bother me anymore. i'm just as likely to smother someone as i am to utterly neglect them with no change in how i actually feel about them. i'm so flexible...unless i don't want to be, in which case i'm so stubborn i'm almost useless...

but the most troublesome thing about the cancer moon? definitely has to be that i attract cancers at all times, no matter where i go or what i do, even though cancer and aquarius often rub each other the wrong way. s'alright though, i love my cancer homies, they help me understand what the moon is doing to me...

We are Cancer Moon brothers!! I have always enjoyed your posts.

I have a hot temper when I let rip.
Generally I let bullshit go (can't be bothered with it) but if continually taunted I have no qualms about firing up.

I am easily hurt as I don't go about trying to hurt anyone, so for someone to hurt me for no good reason just blows my mind.
Life long grudges. Yes. If you are going to hold a grudge do it properly. Why bother with a half-assed grudge??
I don't know if I am stalkerish. If I love you you will know it. Center of my universe (and rightly so.)
I do love home, but not sure where 'home' is. In the arms of the one I love is my home. It could be anywhere.
No shallow friends. I don't have acquaintances.
Very protective of my friends.
I am learning that my feelings are usually spot on and I should have listened to them more in my life instead of over thinking and doing the "right thing" to make everyone else happy. (Hate this Cancer Moon)
Hence loathed melancholy. I hate this part too.
Kindness and politeness are the only way to go. If you have no manners you have no place in my world.
No cheating - emotional or otherwise. One dog one bone.
The thought of just touching a guy who is not my beloved makes me want to puke.
Making love is my fave thing to do. It gives me energy. I am therefore I love and I must love you now🙂

So why do you think it is that the cancer moon emotionally cheats but the cancer sun doesn't?



As @ellybd said, Sun i Ego and Moon is Emotions. Cancer moon folks are easily led astray by their emotions. This can be a disastreous deal where one is never fully satisfied with what one's got. It is of utter most importance to put a leash on that bitch, but how do you argue with your own emotions? It's impossible.... 😢

Btw, I was a little off saying that I'm never satisfied with what I got and that the grass is always greener on the other side... The truth is I'm more satisfied with the little things in life than anyone else I know. Actually I managed to pass that down to my ex, she is much more at peace with herself now than she was before we met.

So I enjoy the simplest things in life, like drinking coffee in the afternoon or reading the morning paper or taking a shit while others would just want to rush off and do something else. I'm at peace with what is now, constantly anxious about the future and always living in the past. I don't expect much out of life really, I have set my goals and I'm moving towards them the best way that I can, but apart from that a cup of coffee will make me perfectly happy for the time being.

ANYWAY, to get back to the point.... It's not that the grass is greener on the other side, I'm easily satisfied with what I've got, I also hear Cancer mooners are quite 'minimalistic' in many ways. BUT, I also get so infatuated with my feelings for someone or something that for the time being that is the only thig that matters. Thinking ahead only makes me unhappy because the most important choices we make will not give instant gratification, which is what my emotional self requires in order to satisfy the hunger. Thinking "in the long run this other option would be better" doesen't exist in my world... even when my mind knows I'm signing a contract I shouldn't sign!

I'm an Aqua sun but have a cancer moon so as you can imagine, some aspects of my personality are conflicting.

When I was younger I used to be a hot mess.

The Aqua in me made me extremely logical whereas the cancer in me made me completely emotional

The Aqua in me allowed me to walk away like you didn't exist when you hurt me but the Cancer in me made me hold on & hold a grudge.

The Aqua in me was very detached & not very affectionate up front whereas the Cancer in me made me appear to be very touchy-feely, affectionate & passionate.

The Aqua in me was very easily able to take criticism whereas the Cancer in me made me defensive & off to retreat in my shell

The cancer in me made me see the small & little things people did or had whereas the Aqua in me was all about the big picture.

Long story short, I can identify with your post about Cancer moon, especially in matters of love.

With Cancers just like with Aquas, you either completely love them or can't stand them
