Moon in Cancer folks are the sweetest, most heartfelt and emotionally graceful people.

Change my mind.

Search ‘’Why are Cancer moons so childish’’ here on LL. You’ll see we are NOT always that sweet and heartfelt BUT we are emotional yes.

I find Moon in Cancer a strongly magnetic placement. But even I have to admit that if its not the right mix of positivity from the start. It can go downhill fast.

Melissa McCarthy and her hubby Ben Falcone are Cancer Moons/Virgo Suns respectively. This one is the right mix. And i would like to be romantically entangled with another Moon in Cancer.🔥

Haha, yes I realize my statement was wide and sweeping.

But seriously, this placement has so much potential. It's very pure.

I come from a place of being very challenged by cancer suns. I find them to be very 'me' orientated, but the moons seem to be very caring and thoughtful of others. not in a self-sacrificial sense and not without boundaries, just in a healthy and sweet way.

Melts my heart.

I love Cancer Moon. It’s easily my favorite Water Moon. Very underrated placement.

I was married to one for a number of years. He was very family focused, and very nurturing and caring. He will drop anything to go run somebody somewhere, drop somebody off, ... very friendly and very charming.

He also lied for years, had affairs, and currently lives off of his mother in his 50s. He feels he is the victim most of the time, loves to play the hero, and is very passive aggressive.

We were not the right mix.

Thank you.
But yeah it depends on the aspects to the moon. Mine is mostly positively aspected (trine to sun, mars, venus, uranus) but the tightest is a square to Pluto and that can make me a bit less sweet and agreeable at times.

I was surprised to find that classic "macho" actors of the past Clint Eastwood and Clark Gable have Cancer Moon. This is new to me.🤔

My dad has Cancer moon. Libra Sun, and Sagittarius rising.
-This moon sign is good at being funny
-It is more natural for him to be the domestic one in the family. He does a lot of big home projects. Currently rebuilding his garage. He can cook soup from scratch. He use to be called Tim Allen's doppelganger. He use to hunt deer and bring one home for us to eat.
-He is upset that I am gluten free, one time told me I must eat the potato rolls because it's St. Patrick's day and it's my dead grandma's recipe.
-I think it's weird that he has Sagittarius rising and Venus and has no interest to see the world. Probably only been to Canada. His mom and my mom went to Ireland with out him. How does he not want to go to Ireland too if there is an opportunity?! He prefers just traveling within the state and going to the woods, and these days it's lake houses with the family. Or sometimes going out of state for relatives.

My Uncle is an Aries with Cancer Moon
-He is the most talkative Uncle out of all my dad's brothers.
-He is the black sheep out of the brothers.
-He got a lot of women pregnant. Had a few divorces.
-4th times a charm! He met his wife when he worked at McDonalds. She was fresh out of High School. She got pregnant. They got married. Have two kids together. Been married since the late 80's.
-Like my dad he likes camping. He does camping all the time. He's retired.

My brother-in-law is a Cancer Moon Pisces Sun
-His doppelganger is Jim Carey.
-He is the moody/passionate one in the marriage.
-He is very extraverted, but can have some dark moods.
-He doesn't always do impressions of people, but when he does I always crack up.
-He likes sports, and reading

an ex boyfriend Cancer Moon Gemini Sun
-BAD with money
-wondering eye
-liked kid movies more than me to the point where it weirded me out.
-bad temper
-Complained to my dad that one of my friend's called him a p***y.

College professor Cancer Moon, Capricorn Sun
-Very passionate
-Would not tolerate BS from students
-Great lectures
-Humorous when grading papers
-Liked food

My Aunt Aries Sun Cancer Moon
-Married my Uncle who I mentioned above. I wanted to point out that her Sun Conjuncts Saturn, I think it gave her the maturity to be married to someone much older than her and to settle down right after high school, and have it actually work out.
-She is a assistant director at a Day Care and has been for a long time.
-I enjoy our talks about the early childhood field.
-Sometimes it does seem like the older she gets the more fun she is having. I think she got her first tattoo in her late 40's.
-Has 3 Grandkids

A friend I've got closer with Leo Sun Cancer Moon
-Introverted but reached out to me that we should hang out more, which I was super flattered by.
-Artist
-Going to college for art
-SUPER FERTILE
-Kind of edgy style but super deep and caring

Thanks for sharing. I loved reading this.😁

I find that Sag Asc(by default)are born into environments where their worldview is expanded. Or there is a need to adjust into a more "communal" perspective on things because of the context of the upbringing.

Saturn(in the whole sign) rules 2nd house Cap. So they tend to detach or progressively bar(Sat) themselves from their respective domestic environment. The proverbial "world" becomes their home. As many Sag Asc people can have issues with "belonging" on one hand. Or can find themselves in a position of being adopted or integrated into a home not of their birth(Pis Ic).

With your Dad's Moon in the whole sign 8th, childhood losses are highlighted. So he may cling too tightly to traditional things (on one hand) as a defense against loss. So travelling overseas or even settling anywhere else but where is familiar etc. Is downright scary.

On the other hand, some Moon in 8th house Cancer people with Sag rising may do the opposite. Be detached from the familiar. Leave home and country to find their "home" in the world at large etc.

The uncle with Sun in Aries square Moon suggests problems integrating the self (Sun) into partnerships (Moon) I.e. Sun is exalted in Aries which expands on self authority and self leadership etc.

Moon in Cancer is domiciled here and often gravitates towards communal partnerships and alliances. And this means adjusting and adapting to meet other's needs and rendering support etc.

It's not an easy balance to have. One tends to struggle against the other I.e. domestic life interferes with the impulse to do what one wants, when they want. And (by reverse)the impulse to do what one wants when they want , sabotages peaceful co-existence between them and the partner.

The Sun in Pisces/Cancer Moon BIL ma have increased sensitivity and issues with regards to emotional boundaries-hence the moodiness (I wonder if your Dad is also moody?) As Jup ruled Sun and Moon ruled Moon is like the Jup-moon interplay. When it's good,it's good. When it's bad,its catastrophic.

The one with Cap Sun/Can Moon is either MR. Responsible OR the baby. If they are the former,they attract the latter. And my guess is that since they are in the capacity of being a teacher (Authority-Cap), they attract those in need of nurturing (babies-Can)

Leo Sun-Can Moon can be the type to wear their heart on their sleeves. The Sun in Leo wants to mantain their individuality in the same breadth as giving themselves unreservedly to another. Tall order? Yes. Leo paints with a very broad brush.

The Cancer Moon may(ofcourse) increase reservedness and shyness. The Moon us tender and sensitive here. Tears are usually not too far from the surface when hurt or frustrated. Emotional expression( much like Aries Sun) is still expression. And though the men with this position may feel "silly" about crying over something upsetting. They also don't shame themselves (like Aqu Sun/Cap Sun would) if they did.

The women tend to be more emotionally restrained or controlled . But in both genders, there is a striving for the balanced expression of both masculine and feminine energy with this combo.

Gemini-Cancer Moon may have a nervous disposition that can lend to stomach upsets and a neurotic personality. Other's opinions of them can be absorbed. This either positive or negative. Making them susceptible to being influenced. Words(Gem)can be specifically potent here-this either to build them OR break them❤

Thank you, that means a lot since most of them are my loved ones!

My dad was raised hard core Catholic. One of his Uncles was also a priest. His dad was Polish American and his mom was Irish American. So he got some Polish culture with his dad's side and Irish culture with his moms side. My dad can cook Polish and Irish food. My mom converted to Catholicism before they got married. But by the time he was an adult and had kids he told us "I went to church 6 days a week for 12 years of my life, I don't need to go anymore, the rest of you can catch up to me." We also became the Catholics who only went to church on Easter and Christmas, or if my out of state Uncle's family visited. LOL my dad would use his dad voice at me if I got to squirmy sitting at church.

Since my dad is the youngest of 4 boys, he did not see as much domestic violence as his older brothers or how bad his dad's drinking use to get. My grandpa was kind of cleaning up his act around the time my dad was born. I say kind of because my Grandpa was terrible with money. He liked gambling. My dad witnessed repo coming to his house sometimes. Because my grandpa was so bad with money my grandma had to work. She told me she felt bad that she couldn't stay home with my dad like the other boys, but how it all worked out. His Aunt would watch him a lot. She took him camping too where he learned lots of skills.

My husband does not like to treat me like I am weak. This sometimes can make people give my husband flak. So when my husband was like yeah drive out to where I am staying, I shrugged and was like "Okay" But then my dad said "I worry about you, I want to drive you there." It was about a 13 hr drive. Then my mom was all like "I'm coming too!" So they ended up staying the whole time I visited my husband.

With his Libra Sun he is very social. But with his Cancer moon one of his best friends lives next door. They even made a gate on their fence so my dad can go straight to his garage. He doesn't need to go very far at all for social gatherings.

I think because of the time he was born and the way he was raised etc. He is not the Cancer moon who talks about his feelings all the time. I've read a long time ago that sometimes Cancer will self sooth with food, smoking, and drinking. So I really think smoking and drinking are his pacifier.

He likes to joke mostly lets lose around his friends, since my mom turned into a Ned Flanders lady.

He only tears up a bit if someone he loves died.

He really has a wit about him when he needs to lay down the law.

If I was putzing around in the kitchen while he was doing something he would ask me
"are you cooking?"
"no"
"are you cleaning?"
"no"
"then get out of the kitchen"

One time a teen came to the door wanting sell cookbooks for his church. When the guy said the cook books go to a good cause my dad said "it would be a good cause if you could learn how to read the sign under my door that says No Soliciting"

@ Stawr. Yes. Cancer Moon can baby those around them that they care for. Cancer Moon can become the proverbial "helicopter" parent(at worst). So it makes sense that he would want to drive you to where you want to go instead of you going there alone. That is classic Cancer care. Cap would(for example) just give you gas money or call you to check if you got there.🤣

I forgot about the Sag Asc and religion. That's another layer to Sag energy. They can grow up in a religious household or have some back/forth issues with religion.This especially since Cap is on the 2nd house cusp and Ic is in Pisces.

Typically (as you indicated) the religious background is the type to enforce strict adherence to convention I.e. a belief system that has long existed e.g Catholicism,Jewish,Anglican etc. This instead of more "progressive" or "New age " ones.

It's interesting that his Father having gambling issues and drinking aligns with that Pisces IC. Typically with Nep/ Pisces on the IC the background can be the type that has some sort of alcohol substance abuse issue or addiction problems.❤

Haha yeah I don't think my dad has any Capricorn in his chart.

My mom is the Capricorn moon she also has Saturn here I'm pretty sure. She is more of the helicopter parent in some ways. I let her track my location on my phone. I watch a lot of crime shows and I use to love Lifetime movies. Plus my husband's brother in laws cousin got updated and still hasn't been found.
Plus being long distance and living basically alone for 3 years, made me say yes.

Yes my Capricorn stellilum husband is like yeah drive here and see me. I do it all the time.
He has also has commentated that my parent's coddle me. He was a good sport when my family came out, we did a few things together put also had our space. He was like this is not happening next time, this can't happen every time.

When we celebrated my mom's Birthday last week I didn't want any cake, but was also curious since it. strawberry lemon flavor. So I just took a bit of my mom's I was sitting by her and I opened my mouth and she fork fed a bite to me. My husband was appalled and said "Stawr's Mom, don't do that"

I never paid much attention to his MC and IC that makes so much sense. With the religious up bringing and his paternal side being Polish drunks. With this combo my dad is a functioning alcoholic. For non immediate family and friends he will fix cars and do home repairs for a box of beer. He might have Pluto Virgo too. With the MC here, I think this is why he never sits on his butt when he is awake. If he sits in a chair he will immediately pass out.

Oh bonus creep factor for my husband. I'll send basic texts to my mom like "we just hit the road" But usually my mom will beat me to it and send me texts like "I see you are almost there"
