I'm curious about others' takes on this moon sign for men specifically. I have a few friends with Cancer moon. It fits them nicely. Two are Aquarians (female). One, an Aries (male).

I normally meet earth moons. I have plenty of earth moon friends. A lot of air moon friends and fire. However, water is sparse on my list. I dated a Scorpio moon male once....never again. I REALLY like earth moon men. Air moon men too.

Obviously this question does have means to an end. I am interested in a Cancer moon male. We've been talking for awhile, only I don't know what makes him tick. He is earth dom, followed by air. Lots of Capricorn (Venus, Mars, Uranus, Neptune).

His pullen reads:
Fire: 9.2%
Earth: 30.0%
Air: 27.8%
Water: 33.1%

Not sure how the water got such a high rating, but he only has Moon in Cancer and Pluto in Scorpio. Granted the moon is at home in Cancer. Maybe that's what spikes it up.

I'd like to hear others' experiences. I know I could never be with a Scorpio moon male based on my past experiences with them. Men with Pisces dominance are too feminine, but this Cancer moon has me curious... He's a very interesting guy. His chart is interesting too. We get along great, but I'd like to hear all sides. I'm already being my usually impulsive self by just diving right in with high hopes. We'll see. So far so good. He hasn't shown any moodiness toward me, but I have seen it toward others...not sure how I would handle that. However, my dominants are water and air, so maybe I need this type of mixture. My friends who are Cancer moons are great, and I love them.

Story time! Let me hear your stories 🙂

My brother and his gf are both Cancer moons. It's like walking on eggshells. You always have to be careful what you say to them. They're too sensitive. And look at all the water in him. And I can rile these people up with my Libra Mars.

*smfh

Just not my cup of tea I guess.
That's my issue too....even my friends with Cancer Mars....I always offend them. Not intentionally, but I just talk to talk sometimes. Or I argue my POV which may conflict with theirs and they become butt hurt and lash out at me. And I'm there like "—? but I didn't mean you?" Usually I end up being the one to apologize. I never mean to offend. I guess it just happens...LOL.

YEAH! Idk how he has that much water.... This is his chart:
Aquarius Sun/Merc/Saturn
Cancer Moon
Capricorn Venus/Mars/Uranus/Neptune
Virgo Jupiter
Scorpio Pluto
Leo ASC
Taurus MC

How it makes him 33% water is beyond me but hey. Lol. It makes sense. I'm glad none of his moods have been directed at me yet, but as a Libra rising I tend to slip away from gunpoint pretty often. However, I still get thrown under the bus in other situations though. I don't always think before I speak LOL.

Really? I thought Libra energy was more diplomatic. I noticed that at the most I can be really passive-aggressive with my Libra Mars.

YES! My rising helps me in that way. that's what I meant but probably said it really vaguely. I tend to do that. Neptune in the 3rd runs strong in my chart. Yeah my Sag Mars makes me kind of an ass talker. NEVER intentionally. I just go on rants about life and my perspectives. It's never aimed at someone, but if someone has an opposing belief it's like they expect me to know that and then take it as a swing at their person when it's not. Once they're offended the Libra kicks in and I tend to avoid a lot of conflicts that way. Very personable and diplomatic. Not a huge fan of conflicts at ALL. I avoid them at all costs usually (but sometimes it's inevitable), but my mouth tends to get me in trouble a lot of the time. and my Virgo moon doesnt always make me the most sensitive person in the bunch either lmao.

I dated a man with a cancer moon briefly. He also had sun and Mars in cancer.

He was quite sensitive. And took offense extremely easily. Once he felt slighted, that was it, there was no discussing anything after that. I think he wanted me to grovel but that's not my thing. Lol. Could be all his cancer though torqued him out in the feels department.

I'm a cancer moon myself. And while I am moody and sensitive, it doesn't show in relationships really until security is established. Even so, in the moment I become emotional however I typically remove myself until I sort through my feelings. However, I need to be able to emote once calm. Just listening is enough really.

People crap on cancer moons a lot, but I think we can be some of the most devoted and doting people. Just takes a little maturity and someone who is even keeled. Explosive, antagonistic or hypercritical personalities are the only ones I tend to conflict with. I think it's because we are such sponges, so whatever you throw out we soak up and reflect back.
Yes I love my Cancer moon friends! They do get moody sometimes, but it's never in a way (like the Scorpio moon I dated) that really bothers me or makes me irritated. The Scorpio moon I dated just wanted to own me and dictate full control. I cannot do that. And THEIR mood swings....now THEIR mood swings are detrimental to anyone else who is the target of their mood swings. Cold, harsh words. They will lash at you until they sting. I could never deal with someone like that again that's for sure. Two of my friends are dating Scorpio moons now and same thing....they are ruthless as a man's moon sign.

This Cancer moon is cute. He does have mood swings. None aimed at me (yet), but his mood swings make me want to hug him. They're kind of cute in a really weird way haha. Mars in Cancer...that is a rough placement. I have a few friends with that. It is hard to get them to rationalize anything. Once they are offended they will go on a tangent until, like you said, you grovel. Beg them forgiveness. Apologize 1000 times with 1000 tears type stuff. Very annoying. I love them though overall when they're not emoting so intensely, so I always apologize (don't cry 1000 tears though so maybe they'll never truly forgive me) LOL! Kidding.

I can be a little standoffish sometimes. He once told me he could "feel my resistance towards him from how I'd been hurt in the past" and that "that's not going to happen this time". Super weird. Those words have been haunting me. I didn't know how to respond at the time. Cancer moons are so intuitive....I do love that about them. You feel, they feel. They can sense almost anything.

I suppose I posses the good and the bad normally associated with this moon, overall I'd say I'm a quick learner; I pick up cues from people & my surroundings intuitively which I guess is what makes me sensitive, not unlike a rabid dog with an irratibility towards sounds. Also we are quite paranoid and throw assumptions left and right. Figure some of them will hit their marks, lol.
