..and how do you view the impact of the cancer moon on your life, day to day, etc?
I am curious about other cancer moon people.......
do you fit the descriptions? To be honest, i havent really looked too far into my moon (well, not so much as the other things going on in my chart) which is funny, becasue i would probably understand myself alot better if i did..
Emotional issues have just always been tough for me, as i have felt pretty vulnerable and cutoff in general towards other people..
I have been diving into this a bit more lately, hoping to glean something from this difficult-to-define part of me..
Its about as hard to describe as it is to see reality under moonlight.... :P
anyway, here is some little snips i found..
(this first paragraph is to cancer moon woman) "Her reaction in emotional situations varies with her mood and the phase of the Moon. She could be snippy and crabby, or be gripped with lunar madness and laugh her way through difficult feelings. Moon in Cancer nurtures others with great care and sensitivity. She is in tune with women, mothers and mothering, and tends to treat everyone with a deep love and protectiveness. She needs soothing, mothering care in return."
"The Cancer Moon is a sensitive, patient and devoted Moon. This Moon possesses literary and/or artistic abilities coupled with a sharp memory. The Cancer Moon learns and expresses everything through emotions and harbors a strong desire to be a nurturer. This Moon is likely to have heightened psychic abilities, although life itself is lived within a series of mood swings. The Cancer Moon is prone to the expression of insecurities in a smothering, possessive and/or jealous manner.
In general, the personality of those whose Moon sign is in Cancer will be very similar to those individuals whose Moon sign is in Taurus. Both combinations are very fond of relaxation and satisfaction. However, those individuals with Cancer as their Moon sign are different in that they lack the stability and/or stubborn character provided by Taurus (unless, of course, the person in question happens to have Taurus as his or her Sun sign).
The personality of the Moon in Cancer subject is rather supple and flexible. This will be an emotional character whose surroundings play a large role in his or her mood. When individuals with the Moon in Cancer are at home, or some other comfortable place, they can be quite sociable, friendly and charitable. However, when the environment proves to be less comforting, they tend to hide themselves. Basically inherently conservative, those whose Moon sign is in Cancer tend to be very close to their families...in particular, the mother. Here, there may well be a strong attachment and very often, both mother and child will share many personality traits. Generally, accepting advice from others and following through on the plans of others will bring good luck to the Moon in Cancer person. These are people perceptive of the feelings of those around them and they frequently prove to be good actors or mimics. Blessed with an inherent sensitivity, the Moon in Taurus subject is often psychic.
These individuals are strongly attracted to water (although they are not always aware of this) and may live or vacation near large bodies of water. They are also likely to favor travel by ship as the preferred mode of transport. Basically sympathetic, kind and compassionate souls, individuals whose Moon sign is Cancer are drawn to the underdog and the downtrodden of society...a hard luck story will win them over every time. There is a tendency for those governed by the Moon sign of Cancer to expect others to see and feel they world as they do. This often leads to feelings of rejection when such is not the case. Those governed by Cancer as their Moon sign are likely to keep mementos of their lives from the first four-leaf clover they found to the dog-eared photograph of their first love...probably all tied up with a pink ribbon.
One of the most delightful characteristics of Moon in Cancer people is their loony sense of humor. These people can be extraordinarily funny. Their moodiness can baffle others, but their unique outlook on life is something most people can appreciate.
When treated with tenderness and understanding, Moon in Cancer natives return the favor with warmth and protection. Give them security, and you'll take the crabbiness out of the Crab, at least for awhile.
These people are wonderfully dependable overall, despite their occasional mood swings. Make a friend of Moon in Cancer, and you will be taken care of for life."

So do you identify with most of this? I am trying to understand my sun placement a bit better also... sun in capricorn in the 12th house (which even with all the tonnes of things i have read about the 12th house..it still makes no sense to me to visualize the sun being there, and how that is supposed to manifest energy-wise?!?) ...the descriptions of the sun moon oppostion though, definately fit my experience (and its neat..as far as parents, my mom is a cancer, dad was a capricorn..really illustrating that energy in my chart)
anyhoo..moons changed signs..going outside to sit by a fire ... lol

Re: How intuitive are you?
Sat, May 10, 2008 - 9:28 PMooh ohh...found one more quick one
"Keywords: Reflective, Passive, Clinging, Maternal, Sensitive, Vulnerable
Those born with the moon in a Water sign need to establish solid emotional commitments. Before considering the practicality of a situation, and before objectively examining the facts, they react emotionally. They are highly intuitive, though at times it is deceptively self-serving.
As lunar Water sign personalities, those with moon in Cancer may have a certain awkwardness in their bearing and approach. Creative and sensitive, they are apt to have artistic talent or at least great appreciation for the arts. They are vulnerable to the influence of those with whom they spend the most time, making it hard to distinguish whether they are expressing their own opinions or merely reflecting those of someone else. They can be extremely passive when it comes to extricating themselves from unhappy emotional situations. They may even cling to such situations after they have managed to find happiness elsewhere. They hate to throw anything away. Lack of motivation can make them lazy, disorganized and sloppy.
Cancerian moon personalities are dedicated to getting their own way and accomplishing personal goals. They can be quite shy when initially confronted with unfamiliar situations and when meeting total strangers. Once they feel comfortable, they become more outgoing and even aggressive. Their nurturing nature makes them hospitable, compassionate, and philanthropic. Strong identification with the concept of family makes them treat everyone as part of the family. They often use this kind of approach as a successful ploy in getting others to cooperate. As babies they tend to be finicky eaters or develop food allergies. As adults they have an unfortunate tendency to use food as an emotional pacifier.
Vulnerable, possessive, emotionally dependent, and demanding the women with moon Cancer are at the mercy of their conflicting feelings. Emotionally they are their own worst enemy. They are highly intuitive and creative once they learn to control their emotional tidal waves. Men with Cancer moon have a streak of domesticity, the potential of which includes gardening, cooking, or concern with household furnishings. It is often hard for them to act with sustained aggressiveness in emotional situations.
..ok, im going outside for real this time :P -

Re: How intuitive are you?
Sun, June 15, 2008 - 5:00 PMI think i'm very intuitive once i shut up and get out of my own way. that hunch or gut feeling
i get some times about things/ people and situations when i listen to it is pretty spot on and
has yet to let me down. i've met people and gotten a really bad feeling about them and in
the end totally being right about them. i can identify with some of the descriptions you
posted for moon in cancer. the mood swings can be pretty crazy.i do view my close friends
as family. sympathetic, kind and compassionate i am oddly drawn to the underdog. needy
at times which i hate to admit. this does not sit well with my sun in sagittarius. i keep my
sensitivity hidden out of protection. i'm alright with my moon placement. its helped me in
being much more sensitive to things around more my writing and artistic abilities is greatly
enhanced because of it.
