Cancer Moon

Posted by ImperfectStorm

I’m a cancer moon and my moon is square Saturn which makes it an even more difficult placement to have.

I avoid listening to relationship-oriented music, avoid relationship oriented movies/TV shows or anything really. 😂 I turn my focus inward, start a new workout regimen, focus on my spiritual health/growth, learn a new skill or hobby to occupy your concentration. Like learn a new language, take a cooking class or art class. I am really good at keeping myself busy/occupied, but it can backfire too if you’re not also actively healing yourself through meditation or prayer or getting those emotions out on paper or whatever is therapeutic for you. You have to get it out of your system, one way or another. The worst thing a cancer moon can do is bury, avoid and not deal with our feelings or pain. It will resurface down the road and prevent you from moving on. So when the normal feelings come to the surface (sadness, anger, denial etc) allow yourself to feel them, just don’t pitch a tent and live in them.

Find something or someone else to obsess over 👍 That's my current dysfunctional strategy

I really feel this

I tend to put myself on some kind of diet like sugar-free which I am doing now. Anything with a bit of deprivation gives me something to push against. I think the cravings for sugar or alcohol or whatever it may be substitute to some extent for the emotional craving

I am learning to play piano but that makes me sad lol because most songs are about love or can be made to feel sad

Yeah it builds resilience and strength to fast from and push against any cravings or emotional crutches 💪🏼

I agree!! 🌙❤️

There should be a Cancer moon support group

I want to know from other fellow cancer's, precisely cancer moons, how do you deal with breakups and stop obsessively think of your ex? I wish I could just sever all the thoughts of my ex but everything I do, every second of the day I think of them. It gets overwhelming.

Been there. Ugh. It was the worst waste of time of my life. Thank God it was just one time.

If you can, do whatever you can to get over the past. I know it's hard coz I also tend to look at the past way too many times. But to obsess over an ex is A BIG WASTE OF TIME. Take it from someone who regretted it so much.

I could've used the time to find joy in being with myself.

I could've used the time to think about what I wanted more in life.

I could've used the time to just be with myself and have myself as a partner..

But.. missed all that coz .. you know.

I actually can't avoid any relationship oriented music and I definitely watch romos!! I hate it but that's what draws my inner self and I cry. Like last night I was listening to The XX and I cried in the shower. I have a lot of 1st house placements, so focusing on myself has never been an issue but I know I have to get better at going in deeper. I am going to learn how to play the guitar which is something I think will turn out magical. Moving on is not an issue either because I've been on dates, what I hate is I'm on a date and then I think of my ex and I get home from my date and I start crying or missing him and thinking of me just walking into his room.

See I have Neptune square Venus in my chart which has really hurt me in my relationships... it makes me idealize relationships and watching rom coms or listening to love songs will keep me in those feels. I fully enjoy them, I just don’t like how they encouraged that idealistic, romantic side of me. It really works against me when I am trying to let go of someone.

I also do not date others when I am trying to get over someone.. I honestly just kinda feel like it’s a bad idea for multiple reasons. With my slow moving Virgo Venus, I know it’s not my nature to jump from one relationship to the next, so I would essentially be wasting my time and theirs and I feel like that’s bad karma. So I really try to make it an inside job rather than relying on others to pull me out of my mess. It just never worked well for me in the past.
